Finally, I have my internet access back! Yesterday was not a pretty day – dial up from a mobile is not cool. 9.6k and that’s withstanding the cost. The whole taking days to get access thing is shit as you want to blog about your experiances straight away.

Obviously everyone hates it until like Christmas which is shit but there have been some cool moments. It’s amazing how fast you build up confidence.

Sunday I was scared to talk to anyone (I’m a nerd, I have a right to that). But we all went down to the union and it was good. By Monday I ventured down to the intro party on my own, got talking to a guy named Olli and spent the entire night crusing around with him looking for people to chat to. And this is me we are talking about!

But then again, when you have a place filled with so many attractive women I was bound to. I’m suprised we don’t get more Leeds Met students in our union as theirs is a big pile of crap whereas Leeds Uni Union is the best in the country (you better believe it ;)).

Mine, the new space with all the cool acts still isn’t open yet though so right now we only have 5 bars. Still, I’m hoping it will be completed too and for the moment, Bar Coda are hosting some indie rock this Friday. Plus it’s £1.50 for an alcopop which isn’t bad considering the normal price.

Ok, found the lead :P. So yeah, the pictures.

That’s my room sort of. It’s not a bad size, I couldn’t get it all in as I couldn’t get far enough back with my camera.

Not happy about this whole single bed thing.

That’s the view out of my window. It looks way better in real life than the camera shows it and that window is a lot bigger than it seems too.

Ok so I know I said pictures where on their way – well they are. Just not let lol. I have my digital camera but I think I left the lead at my flat lol.

Ok, so obviously I needed to test my new shipping address and when I found Resident Evil: Apocalypse for £7 I really didn’t have any option. My plan was, that would keep me going till I could get my hands on The O.C. series 2.

Which I really want – I saw an episode from it yesterday where stuff happens. Ryan meets Lindsay. It’s a hazy memory now but it was awesome. I think I am going to hold off though as I need to divert funds elsewhere, namely into a freeview decoder as I have realised I can pick up E4 on that and therefore won’t miss as many of my cable shows. Need to find out if I can pick it up yet though.

I’ve also stocked up on blank DVDs as I was down to my last couple and I want to do plenty of backups from now on. My new student bank account details still haven’t come through so it looks like I will have to come home again to pick them up. I need some kind of teleportation device between home and new home.

I’m even torn as to which car we should take today when we go look around. If we take the Mondeo then I can drive. But the X-Trail is more expensive and newer and although I’m going to be starring accommodation with these people I still think a certain distance needs to be maintained between myself and the common folk.

Just saw an advert for it (a bumper actually) and this is a quote: “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge to the Sith.” To the Sith? What is that about?

This is wierd. I’m a total neurotic. Why can’t I really care about what is happening? It’s like, we go down tommorow and I live there from Sunday. So why am I totally just “meh” about moving out? This makes no sense! BTW pictures on their way tommorow.

I haven’t really noticed it coming though, it’s like tommorow which is wierd as in only a few days I will be partying it up on freshers week and yet it still seems ages away.

Ok, I really am making a lot of posts in a row but I blog when I have inspiration lol. Anyway so the episode where Bart falls in love with Laura in The Simpsons. Bart gives his address as 1094 Evergreen Terrace. But we all know the family live at 742 Evergreen Terrace.

I also noticed when Moe was running back he banged his leg on a wishing well. The same one that Timmy O’Tool fell down? :P.

I hate music ads that say “this album of the year.” Because, let’s face it, it probably isn’t is it? I also wanted to come and point out that I was not talking about Kelly Clarkson’s new album even though according to the advert “everybody is talking about” it.

I now hate it though because, in order to point that out, I have had to start talking about it.

Now the Huddersfield University advert I have just seen – there is an advert. Any uni that has Patrick Stewart has got to be good. Picard rules!

I was just trying to find my Dylan Moran quotes, medium length story short, I couldn’t find it. Reason was, the quotes were actually in the Blair Space Quotes DB (this was after checking Buffy Talk also).

So anyway, I’m going to post them here so next time I go looking for them they will actually be here:

Dylan: “We all know if female genitalia could talk, it would sound exactly like Enya.”

Dylan: “I’m not a fighter, I’m a bleeder. The best I could hope for would be to drown someone in my own blood.”

So things are falling into blocky shaped holes. I was probably in denial I wanted anything other than the second series of The O.C. but checking on it, it doesn’t come out until September 26th. So even it if arrives on that date it is still a week later than I thought.

There is actually an alternative – the non-promotional price as £45 (like £11 more) is available now but that’s like 30% more. I spent an extra £20 to get the Buffy boxset a few weeks earlier and I’m not doing that again! Ok, maybe I will, my will power sucks and I need some way to get through the first week ;).

That said I still have my new networking geat that I ordered arrive tommorow. It better arrive tommorow or eBuyer will get the frowning of a lifetime!
