I want all that I am, cause I was made to Fly. See the wings? Sorry, I am lis­te­ning to “Sunna — Power Strug­gle”. Just brow­sed through my music and found some old stuff I haven’t lis­te­ned to for years. Makes me happy. Any­way, today’s account goes something like this. “I’m not tra­ding now”.

Woke up again at 8:00am, doing this is taking a lot out of me, and recei­ved my daily dose of Power Ran­gers Wild Force, Scooby Doo and Gar­field. Then I strug­gled to stay awake. You see, I nee­ded to be awake for when the deli­very man comes with my hard drive. Tense switchingly good. Come 10:00am, having brow­sed various forums and chec­ked my local inter­net out­lets, I head down stairs to get a slice of toast or something. Here I notice the big red Par­cel Force van par­ked outside my door — he hadn’t come to the door with my par­cel because he was sca­red of the insane dogs that were bar­king in nextdoor’s gar­den safely behind a brick wall (although they can pop their heads over). Note: They are rott­wei­lers. Any­way, I go out to him and sign for my pac­kage. The ove­rall pro­cess being very unprofessional.

Spent the next few hours ins­ta­lling the HDD, mainly loo­king for screws for it and dus­ting out the insi­des. Ins­ta­lled, par­ti­tio­ned and for­mat­ted. All wor­ked per­fectly and now I am loa­ded up with 200GB. Currently trans­fe­rring media files and web archi­ves of mine. After doing this my friend told me his web space for the pro­lab site had come tho­rugh, so I spent the next 3 hours sor­ting all that out. I now look for­ward to the time con­su­ming task of making a forum for them. Oh joy.

Still lis­te­ning to Sunna. That’s SUNNA, One minute science.

In a new movie round up event of the cen­tury world dis­play series look upon with glory article, we see some new deve­lop­ments. But not really.
Firstly, as you may know, the new Kill Bill trai­ler is up at apple​.com, it looks so very good. Secondly I have heard that Under­world is bad and has no “fun parts” — i.e. one long cere­bral bore.

This mor­ning I saw an exc­lu­sive few clips from the upco­ming Thun­der­birds live action movie; they sho­wed the incom­plete CG sta­ges of thun­der­brids two and three — in par­ti­cu­lar thun­der­bird two coming in to land oppo­site Big Ben, it loo­ked so fan­tas­tic. One because I am bri­tish and two, because I love thun­der­birds. Release date is sche­du­led for July 2004.
Silent Hill. The movie. Yes, these are the rumors;
“Konami’s Silent Hill franchise will be brought to the big screen by Samuel Hadida, pro­du­cer of True Romance, and his com­pany Davis Films Sarl. Chris­tophe Gans (Brotherhood of the Wolf) will direct the movie. The Silent Hill franchise has com­bi­ned sales of over four million copies in Japan, Europe and the Uni­ted Sta­tes. The com­pany has not yet sta­ted when the movie will hit thea­ters.“
We also have the upco­ming Resi­dent Evil 2. Holly­wood again cashing in on others’ suc­cess. It has poten­tial but it will most likely be squandered.

The holly­wood ana­logy: There once was a river (holly­wood), in this river were fish (these repre­sent ideas). There were many varie­ties of fish, from trout to angel fish, yes it was a spe­cial river. The river was the pre­mium supply for food and enter­tain­ment in the surroun­ding villa­ges. The fish were caught by the fisher­men and taken home to their fami­lies, where ever­yone enjo­yed a fish either as a meal or a pet. Of course some tas­ted bad, some were evil and some just died but ove­rall it was good. Peo­ple enjo­yed a res­pec­ta­ble per­cen­tage of the fish. Howe­ver, one day, a greedy far­mer used too much fer­ti­li­zer on his crops, this fer­ti­li­zer see­ped into the river and affec­ted the growth of algae. The algae grew and grew, soon enough cove­ring the sur­face of the river. No more sun­light. Con­se­quently, all the nice fish died; the only ones sur­vi­ving the ons­laught being deep sea crea­tu­res that are ugly and pathe­tic (some would say “spe­cial in their own little way”). Now these are all the fisher­men catch, the ones that still fish that is. And when taken home, the fish are used only to gene­rate foul smells in plots of revenge against evil neigh­bours. Thus, few enjoy the fish and until the greedy far­mer stops, there will remain a lack of decent fish for catching. Attempts have been made at clo­ning the nice fish, but the clo­nes turn out wrong and they are never them­sel­ves uni­que. Others have tried dres­sing up the evil fish to make them look nicer, but the taste and smell are still deathly. Some weird ones have even tried to resu­rrect the dead fish, in hopes for a return to for­mer glory. On the whole, all attempts have fai­led. So my friends; we must rise up and kill the evil far­mer, so we can enjoy our tuna, sal­mon, trout, kip­per and puf­fer fish baguet­tes once again.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Grum­ble Grum­ble, mist­le­toe and pine. Time to hit up with a bout of FofR for another day. That’s if you are a regu­lar, and of them there are few. Syrin­ges at the ready. Today I awoke at 8:00am again, cause you know, that HDD hasn’t arri­ved yet. Guess what. It still hasn’t. Time for an inves­ti­ga­tion into this so called “next day pre­mium cou­rier ser­vice”, so I check the pac­kage trac­ker and see where the par­cel has got­ten to. Turns out it’s at the local depot, where it has been for four days. Won­der­ful. Time to pay the cou­rier ser­vice a call as to why it hasn’t arri­ved… ring ring. Ring Ring. Ring. Hello. The con­ver­sa­tion went a little like this, although I wasn’t the one tal­king;
[quote]“Yes we have attemp­ted to deli­ver it on three sepa­rate occa­sions, each time pos­ting a lea­flet to tell you to ring us to sort a time of deli­very”.
“I have been here every mor­ning, wai­ting patiently for it to arrive and we have had no pac­kage, visit or lea­flet”.
“None?”
“None”
“Ok.”
“Has he been going to the wrong house?”
*address check*
“We tried to deli­ver to the front door.”
“Ah, that is dif­fi­cult here, as the paths etc… get con­fu­sing, plus you have to walk a way to actually get to it.”
“Ok, we will try again tomo­rrow, give us a phone num­ber to con­tact you.”
*tell details on pre­cise house to go to, via the back road*
*cross fingers*[/quote]
How retar­ded is a cou­rier ser­vice that can’t find a correct address on 3 sepa­rate occasions!!!!!!!

In other news; today I made an affi­liate for my Evan­ge­lion site and pre­pare to sort out the pro​lab​mu​sic​.com web­site which will be ready in a cou­ple of days. Hoo­rah! I will be rede­sig­ning sec­tions for ease of use. I also set about watching the remake of “The Ring” but it cut out 15 minu­tes in. Which was frus­tra­ting to say the least.

Gone.

So I just saw an epi­sode of Buffy with her in (6x06 All the Way) and she was also in the remake of “The Ring”. IMHO I think she looks very fine, but has done very few photo shoots avai­la­ble on the internet.

Bon­jour my fellow rea­ders. Or freak visi­tors who used the word “sex” plus another ran­dom one in goo­gle and ended up here. Here is the latest blog report from FofR.

The day began early, a sharp rise at 8:00am with a strong cof­fee. Today a friend was coming over to help sort out my new 80gb hard drive and help for­mat and some other things. Well, as you may know, the HDD didn’t arrive yes­ter­day, but I was con­fi­dent it would today. As I wai­ted patiently for it I ate some Fruit n Fibre and watched some clas­sic Power Ran­gers and Scooby Doo on Boo­me­rang / Fox Kids. Oh the life! (nothing else is on at this time on a week­day mor­ning). I con­ti­nued wai­ting. Come 11:00am my friend arri­ved and still no sign of the drive. Sadly this trend remai­ned throughout the day. No drive arri­ved. How incon­ve­nient. So ins­tead time was spent brow­sing forums, watching videos, Heathers and mas­te­ring GTA Vice City. In the mean­time down­loa­ding the beta release for Halo on PC. Down­loa­ded. Ins­ta­lled and ran. Error: Crash. The game didn’t work. Thus I reboo­ted. I was gree­ted with a plea­sant sur­prise upon my res­tart. ALL the pro­blems I have been having recently with the MMC/Find/IE/MSN/Mcafee (see pre­vious jour­nal entries, 15th Aug-ish time) were sol­ved. XP infor­med me some new hard­ware had been detec­ted. Not that any was added. I can now use the won­der­ful search options again. The won­der­ful defrag options and update my virus defi­ni­tions. But it is rather silly of Xp to ran­domly fix this ran­dom pro­blem that ran­domly occu­red. Still no Halo though.

Currently lis­te­ning to some Clann Zu while making piles of Cad­dies in Vice City and blo­wing them up in a mira­cu­lous explo­sion that is a gaming mar­vel. Oh and I am also plea­sed cause my pho­toshops made it into the Something Awful comedy gold­mine of the week. Woohay!
