Just a quick note to self to say, “well done you pla­yed well today”.
I am now up to level 9 on rum­ble pit. I always start off slow, coming
7th, then I usually finish in the first 4 for the later games. I want
to link this post to a game but it hasn’t appea­red on bun­gie
yet.

I figure I should also men­tion, that although I have had
very little work this term (con­ve­nient for Halo 2 and GTA), I have had
one mam­moth busi­ness plan assign­ment to com­plete. 5000 words and I was
done and quite plea­sed with the results. I now await the
marks.

Here’s an image I made

lis­te­ning to The Ava­lanches, “Since I left you” album.

Yes­ter­day I spent some time rewor­king this web­site to incor­po­rate
blog­ger. I am so far happy with the results. There are a few little
nick pick things to sort out, but ove­rall things are good. During the
time that I wasn’t site desig­ning, I watched two films, “The
Inc­re­di­bles” and “Ope­ra­tion Dumbo Drop”.

Ope­ra­tion Dumbo Drop
was on ITV1, it was basi­cally a Viet­nam story telling of how a small
group of five had to trans­port an elephant across Viet­nam without
get­ting killed, ending with them and the elephant parachu­ting out of a
cargo plane. It’s a Dis­ney film and was based on a true story. I
laughed at the jokes and enjo­yed the film sta­rring Danny Glo­ver and
Ray Liotta. I’d recom­mend it as one of those ran­dom films you catch on
TV that turn out to be quite enter­tai­ning. (Recently also seen “An
Ame­ri­can Were­wolf in Lon­don” and “Holi­day for Love” which were
simi­larly good).

I went to see The Inc­re­di­bles at the cinema. I
loved it. It was bri­lliant in every way. The jokes were ori­gi­nal, they
didn’t rely on pop cul­ture for their laughs and they didn’t setup a
sequel (des­pite the oppor­tu­ni­ties). The story­line wasn’t from a Dis­ney
for­mula either (as with Fin­ding Nemo). My faith in Pixar has been
firmly res­to­red and I look for­ward to their ven­tu­res without Dis­ney.
Without spoi­ling anything, I’d like to men­tion a cou­ple of sce­nes I
par­ti­cu­larly enjo­yed: 1. The kitchen family argu­ment scene. 2. The
flying chop­pers after Dash scene.

Oh how they are wan­de­ring into a trap! This is horri­ble, truly
horri­ble. Ickle wic­kle ducklings.

I am using Google’s “Picasa” and Picasa’s “Hello” to publish via google’s “Blog­ger” my new desk­top setup. It auto­ma­ti­cally takes a desk­top screenshot, sends it to the blog, uploads it, resi­zes and makes thumb­nails and add this cap­tion. Now I just click publish. Sim­ple and easy. This is why I chan­ged from cute­news, which, although I enjo­yed using, was just very fussy.
