HELLO!

Hi, from the future!

So, I finished up this blog a long time ago and now blog when I can over at my regular blog, intoruth.
Why not say, 'hi', and give me a follow, we might have something in common and I don't want to neglect you.

Day 291.

So peeved with Bonus Print right now, not only does my printer print better than theirs - which it shouldn't because photograph printing is their business - but, their the wrong size and took until today to get to me, when I ordered them last week. Poor service, never using them again, I could have saved hassle and just used my own ink, think I'll bear that in mind for next time, I don't think it matters that I'll use paper because that was cheaper than asking Bonus Print to do it anyway. They are wank.
I'm also annoyed because I was going to post them off straight away but the guy for my shoot didn't turn up until half-past 5, I couldn't really be angry though because he was doing me a favour and it's not like he was in Portsmouth to see me. It went well anyway, despite him literally being a total stranger with no mutual friends between us. It's definitely easier because we have this common half-Chinese ground.

Day 227.

By a stroke of luck I managed to get Moon and I tickets to see Ricky Gervais at the Brighton Centre in the evening of our final night in Brighton. I thought they would have been all sold out but we even got really good seats - despite only seeing 4 comedians on tour, Gervais was by far my favourite, best storytelling ever, even if I didn't learn anything about 'Science'.
It was a bit rainy which was quite disappointing considering how lovely the weather had been the previous day.
We made the mistake of walking nearly 2 miles from the hotel up to the Booth Museum of Natural History - which I thought was fine but it was a bit weird, due to only really being full of stuffed birds. I think I would have thought more of it if I hadn't walked so far, it still trumped it's Portsmouth counterpart. We also finally got to go to the Brighton Toy Museum which hasn't been open any time we'd been to Brighton before, it was lovely. Because it was rainy, after lunch (we had nachos at Ha!Ha!), we went back to the hotel for a cheeky nap. It's quite nice just sleeping with someone.

Day 180.

...And I'm back on track.
Today I went to see Portsmouth University's pterosaurs that have made a home along Southbank, they look pretty much like gargantuan cuddly toys than anything that resembles paleontological studies, but I'm glad I saw them. I also went to a recording of The Cube, if you're unfamiliar with it, where were you last October, it's only the best programme ever, as is any with Philip Schofield. He seems like a genuinely nice gent, he was going to come up into the crowd and take photos with us but I think someone whispered in his ear not to so he let us take some ones of him like this instead. We were really quite close, I'm looking forward to seeing it on TV though as the run through of a show like that gets pretty boring. Fizz from Corrie was our 'celebrity', not sure how much else I'm allowed to say, except that we cheered and clapped a lot whenever money was mentioned. I think I'm going to try and relax tomorrow and catch up on my blogging/news.

Day 103.

I thought this was great.
I went to see Frankie Boyle tonight, he was pretty good too, have just finished watching Urban Massacre, this was not so good. I mean it had such a lazy ending, but due to the rest of it, I don't know why I felt so violated and surprised by this.
Downer on the day is houses for next year, Moon refuses to sign anything because he is worried about not getting in... regardless of grades...
