Check out this story.

You remember when there were those raging fires in Los Angeles the other year? One thing that struck me was the images on the news of the Governer of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, flying in and surveying the devastation.

The thing is, if any other political figure had been filmed, walking among the debris and flames, it would have just looked like a concerned official observing the destruction for themselves.

But because it was Arnie, it just looked like he did it.

Classic :D.

Been a while since I posted I think. Don’t like getting up at 8 am. Had stuff to do though, I needed to get into one of the computer labs early to print off my stuff. I miss my printer, something I will be rectifying shortly.

So anyway I made it into ENIAC about 15 minutes ago, there was only one other person here. I was suprised about that actually, I thought it would be totally dead at this time of the morning.

Recently got an email from Dmoz saying my application to become a moderator was successful. About time. I was thinking about a week ago “it’s been months since I applied, I wonder when they will respond.” I knew I was in for this kind of a wait but it’s wierd how I thought about it and then get the confirmation a few days later.

What a day! Actually the day itself is pretty crap as nothing is happening but I will not let this day go by un-marked. Today, Worfolk Corp is 10 years old! That’s older that some of my cousins. That is pretty impressive! It’s been through various changes, forms, even names but 10 years ago today was when I began on this journey. So glad I didn’t miss this date. Happy birthday Worfolk Corp!

Being at uni is great. Though the best things are still being revealed me to. Earlier today myself and Mike were watching movies with Katie, Lauren, George, Charlotte, Lucy, the list goes on. Shame that most of my gender are retards ;). Well I say shame, I can personally see the advantage in this situation.

Blogs are great for documenting names. Just spent a while in George’s room (like Winks’s but on the other side) along with her siblings, Tom and Charlotte.

Xmeltrut.com is heading towards 5,000 posts. That said, the average posts per day has fallen to like 12 (and that is after the healthy 18 I just posted) and the weekly total is way below the 100 mark. Haven’t been posting as much as I normally do although it hasn’t been bad.

Hmm, Thursays are not cool. I had already spent two one hour sessions wasting time (I actually ended up doing some work, wierd I know) and then after my tutorial 3-4, I have to waste two hours while I wait for my film making society meeting to start. Indeed, I am still wasting that time now.

I forgot my Worfolk Pictures hat though which sucks although I did manage to get the first few pages of my scripts printed off. I was tempted to go home and print them all off as I also need to go home and collect some bank details but it’s finding the time to do it.

What also sucks is I couldn’t find my Truth Stakers scripts which would have been good so I am just left with Midnight Heat, Sleepless and Perspective. The other two are old projects but Sleepless is a new psychological horror film I brainstormed over the weekend.

I could really do to have my bank details come through as I need my pin number so I can start buying things with my overdraft and credit card, namely books which I need to buy as soon as possible so that I can get on with my course. One of them is £74! What is that about? Looks like I will be shopping at Amazon Marketplace for that one.

It took a week or so to really start spreading but freshers flu has now really taken hold. I started to come down with it Tuesday, went in for a few lectures then spent 1:30 pm onwards in bed all yesterday and am gradually getting over it now.

Just sitting listening in DEC-10 though you can here us all coughing. Hope I don’t have to mingle with freshers next year ;). Ah well, if we didn’t get it, it wouldn’t be part of the university experiance which I am pretty determined to have.

As I have so much more time to kill between lectures now I might be posting more as I have hardly been online over the past few weeks (save for dealing with e-mails and updating my daily news sites). That said I may destroy the blog when I try to change my login username from admin to xmeltrut lol. WordPress doesn’t seem to provide you with a way to do that, just change your display name. Maybe I just missed it.

Back to the real world sort of. Freshers week is over though the partying continues. We headed into town earlier and had a drink at Walkabout before heading to the Bondi Beach Club (£10, free drinks all night). Membership and entrance was going to be £13 though which is more than I would drink so myself and Laura left and went back, grabbing a pizza in Headingly.

Lectures were pretty boring, one wasn’t bad, had a maths test in the last which I failed badly (I got like 8 out of 16 or something). Not really much work so far though as they are just really introductions at the moment.
