Zombies > revision

I love my HTC Desire. It does anything I could want in a phone. Plus this whole app stuff is awesome. I am extra happy about apps because I’ve always had a crappy phone that can’t even MMS, never mind being able to install programs onto it! I may do a app post at a later date. In phone game app blah and to continue my point and click game obsession, Hayward found me a pretty cool game called Mystique. The first part is a “escape from a locked room” game and is free. It was actually really fun. Not only does it make my point-and-click-brain-centre happy, it is set in a very dark/gothic/mental hospital setting. Complete with eerie noises! I have paid for the next two games/parts, the second I have completed and was a lot of fun, with a scary child to follow and the only point was to get an elevator working. Sounds crap, but was great, but no spoilers here. The game was difficult enough to keep me happy, but not stupidly hard in a “you must click exactly on a pixel, for no real reason” to progress. Just nice logical problems. I’ve just started the third one, with is a lot longer than the other two apparently and they have improved the eerie noises greatly. It’s now really creepy to play in the dark with the random heavy breathing and doors slamming behind you sounds and the whispers of doom! It’s truly awesome! <3 Hayward for finding it.

Sadly I am stress-filled. It is the last two weeks before exams. I’m concerned, yet I can’t wait for them to be over. I’m more concerned about a rather weird qualitative report I have to write up this week. Showing our own opinions and values, but written in the third person. Should be interesting…To make it worse the topic is on school era sex and relationship education. I dunno…maybe I’ll get into it as I write it, I just prefer stats.

In good news I finally retrieved Zombieland from the royal mail delivery centre of d00m. I will be cramming random psychological facts into my brain and following this with watching zombie brains getting ker-splatted. Although somehow that sneaky postman managed to put a red card of d00m through he door when I was actually home. So another trip to the ghetto where the delivery centre is located is called for. The journey there is fun, passing signs on lampposts wanted witnesses for a murder nearby. The strange people who just stand outside their houses…for no discernible reason other than it’s fun to stand outside. The way people have small bonfires…on the pavement (my personal favourite) and lastly that we have to walk over the grotty bridge where the river is just mud and rotten sunken boats and all you can see is mud, traffic and rusted metal. I live in a classy place. I must take pictures next time, now I have an uber phone! Blah, anyway, back to work.

Chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ geekin’

So very relaxed and feeling good. My sleeping patterns are back where I feel most alive, I still have nothing to do, bar whatever I want. It’s certainly been awhile. Plus still six days till work and then they are my last four shifts! :) Happy happy joy?

Random nonsense:

New Doctor Who…I approve. I have avoided watching it for awhile due to my hatred of annoying wenches and people who apologise too much. I have to say I actually liked the new episode and I hope Moffat keeps it interesting. I approve of Mr Smith and his tweed-ness and his new wench isn’t annoying, always a positive point! Can’t wait for the angels (from Blink) episode.

Tonight, new Jonathan Creek! I have been re-watching  them all lately so I’m quite excited for the new one. In a sad geeky way ofc. Seeing as I’m watching all the Star Trek films at the moment as well, it’s pretty obvious I’m geeking it up. I also bought a season of Ducktales! It’s fantastic, I wish I had more old cartoons.

I’ve been faffing with the new joys of CS4, it’s pretty damn clever when comparing it to the 7 I learnt on. Glowing orbs that would of taken 5+ layers to look 3D can be sorted in 2+ layers due to the new 3D tab (see below). I’m still playing with it, but it can do so much, I’ve barely made anything as I just want to faff with all the options more!

Shiny orb

A shiny orb thing. Only four layers, background, the orb, highlight and shadow. The orb is made using the new 3D stuff. It basically throws you a 3D geometric shape and you have all the light sources and stuff already there, it’s just a case of fiddling with all the options.

It’s going to be horrible when I have to finish that horrible essay and start revision for exams, I like my life of being a bum.

Kitty!

In nicer news, finally recorded a kitty chirp!

People in glass houses seldom throw parties

Finally recovering from my sore throat/fever/conjunctivitis illness. I have had a pretty boring week not being able to see and speak, but I did attend Mr. Norman Lovett at the Nuffield and he was awesome!  Also, this helped me find the old TV show Asylum and my love of the house band David Devant and his Spirit Wife. This little cascade then led to me making my first digital download transaction, which is upsetting, but I wanted to listen to the songs and not from their Myspace page! I shall now have a happy “first day of returned sight” and revise for my exam tomorrow.
