Lie

I've had a fairly uneventful day today, made a cake in minecraft and just hung out with the family. It's good being home, one thing I enjoy is the availability of food, it's brilliant. Might be going out tonight, but not sure who's about, might just go back inside and play minecraft.

I can't remember what I wanted to write here.

I've had a good day today. I didn't wake up until 14:30, even though I wanted to catch a train at 12:27. But I got home just past seven, and spent some time with family. I wanted to see some people so I called Nick, and then Louis and ended up going to Amelia's and having some drinks. It was awesome catching up with them, Liz was there too. We had brilliant conversations and I discovered that Eoin Colfer has written a book following the events of Douglas Adam's 'hitchhikers' universe. I'm definitely going to read that at some point soon. Also while watching bleach, I saw an error in the subtitles, at least I assume it's not what Uryu said.

This post is definitely a good method of me remembering tonight's events.

I also found out today that Matthew has cancer in his thyroid, so i'm hoping to go into the office tomorrow and see him and/or Philippa just to give my regards. I hope he'll be alright.

Oh and I think the newest Zero Punctuation review is one of his best yet. Though I haven't played Ocarina of Time 3DS, I have played the original, and the heaps of other Zelda games Nintendo has churned out. This one is hilarious and brilliantly accurate. Well done Yahtzee.

Anyway, goodnight Kyle.

Back in Ntown

I'm back in Northampton, don't know how long for though. It was a decent train ride aswell. Just spent 90 minutes playing Minecraft. Very enjoyable.

Humble Bundle

I bought the newest Humble Indie Bundle today. I only paid £3.50 for it though, because that's what the average windows user paid for it, and i'm skint. It's not much, but I paid £20 for the last one, so it evens out. I'm hoping i'll have more money by the time the next one's released, so i'll pay a decent amount for that.

We have to support the Indie developers.

One last thing for tonight. I've been catching up with Bleach and Isshin Kurosaki just showed up, revealing that he's a Shinigami to Ichigo. He's going to be such an awesome character.

TIL

Today I learned that Skrillex is Sonny Moore. I've liked skrillex for a while, but now I can't stop listening to it and From First to Last, except for this afternoon when I put some on crash test dummies. I haven't listened to Dear Diary for years, but it's just as awesome as the last time I heard it.

Somewhere around 2007 I began looking into older music; Bowie, Sabbath, Led Zepellin etc. This changed everything. I spent 2 months solid listening to Led Zepellin and nothing else! I haven't kept up to date with anything new that's been released since about 2007, So i've made a list of bands to to both listen to again and check whether they've released anything new.

The list so far is as follows:
Senses fail
The scene aesthetic
coheed and cambria
Billy Talent
A Heartwell Ending
The Academy is...
The Epoxiesthursday
poxies
Mindless Self Indulgence
Dashboard Confessional
Brand New
Taking Back Sunday
Eighteen visions
Funeral for a Friend
Matchbook Romance
HIM
Alexisonfire
Gogol Bordello
The Horrors
The Pipettes
The Subways
The Used
The View
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
InMe
Rise Against
Weezer
Streetlight Manifesto

A lot this is stuff was into when I was about 14. I'm gonna have a nostalgic few days.

up early

I woke up at 8:30 this morning. The last time I was up at that time was because I still hadn't gone to sleep from the night before. I walked Les to the train station, had a walk through town, rented some books on C++ from the library and i've played minecraft for two hours and it's not even two o'clock yet.

Amy Winehands

In tribute to Amy Winehouse's passing yesterday.

Snape, Snape, Severus Snape

Okay, Harry Potter was awesome! However, the two scenes that I though were the most important seemed to be cut short. I thought the pensieve scene where Harry learned the truth about Snape was one of the better scenes in the book, but the movie just didn't seem portray this moment as well as it could have. The same goes for the scene with Dumbledore. Although I thought this scene was well done, as the setting was exactly how i'd pictured, Dumbledore seemed too distant with Harry. When I read this scene, it was an incredible moment; but, as before, it was not portrayed as well in the movie.

Oh and i'm glad they included the 'mega happy ending', they missed out the best lines:
Harry: Give our love to neville
Albus Severus: Professor Longbottom? You can't give love to a professor.
I don't think that's exactly it, but it's close.

Overall, it was a brilliant finale. With the two most interesting characters, Snape and Neville, portrayed brilliantly. Alan Rickman is awesome; Metatron, Alexander Dane and Severus Snape. Perfect.

I've just commenced the cleaning session ready for Lesley's arrival.
The dishwasher's broken and I completely forgot that we'd left stuff in there. The picture doesn't accurately express what I just experienced. It smells horrific. Wait, that's not good enough; bloody horrific.

 

I'm off to watch Harry Potter tomorrow though. I passed up free tickets, to both parts, on release night, so as to see it for the first time with Les. I'm not sure she realised how much of a big deal that was for me. I'll have to keep bringing it up until she acknowledges it for the great gesture that it was.

First post: Minecraft.

I finally bought Minecraft yesterday, so Minecraft post!
I remebered hearing that you need to get coal very quickly, so when I began, I started looking around for some. After a couple of minutes I found some, I just didn't know what to do with it. Eventually night fell and i'd begun to dig into a cliff, then I started hearing noises and growls. I panicked and blocked the entrance.

Now I was in total darkness, cowering in fear of whatever was out there, with no idea what to do next. I eventually realised what the coal was for, and crafted a torch and lit the area.  Whilst waiting for daylight, I decided to dig down into the cliff to se what I could find. I found a coal, iron, a cave and a skeleton archer. I died.

When I respawned I made sure I was able to survive the night, and then wandered about in the day. I made some nice leather boots, and then came accross a snow capped mountain and thought to myself; 'you know what that snow-capped mountain needs? A Fortress!'. So here is the beginning of my fortress... 4 hours in.
