This week is work experience week! Oh boy! I've spent my week helping at a library. I'm writing this, on fact, on the bus, listening to I am the Doctor from the proms on loop. Its the only music I can fit on my phone until my new microSD card arrives. The good thing about Work Experience is that I get a basically stress-free week and I don't have any homework. So I can pretty much spend my free time however I like without any hassle. And on top of that, I get much higher chances of employment i
I am now the proud owner of a copy of BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn.
Oh and Cendox V1
But who cares about Cendox! I GOT TLR!
It was fantastic, exceeded my expectations (and they were high)
not QUITE as fantastic as District 9, unfortunantly (although, D9 is nearly impossible to top. It was REALLY fantastic... Both times I saw it...). But still brilliant.
I especially liked the scene where *is sniped by the spoiler sniper*

I've had quite a bit to do lately, mainly in the form of homework.
My procrastination says I ought to blog them instead of actually doing them: Maths homework English assignment Science homework Society and Culture homework (done =D) Study for Visual Design Visual Design homework IST assignment (in-school) Study for half-yearly exams next term Engineering project (in-school) Various other, extra-curricular projects, like MOCing, making things, etc. Now that I list it it looks like a lot.

My Android topic is close to death. 3 or 4 days to go. D= I hope it doesn't die, that would be depressing and saddening and horrid in all senses. Oh deary me. [/shamelessplug]
I have three days off. These will be spent watching videos, posting, and learning Python. Then in the holidays I will be watching videos, posting, and attempting to build a Dalek.
This'll be fun!
Oh and I got Photoshop CS5 (trial ). It's awesome, I wuv Content-Aware Fill. Simply amazing.

Hello
Obvious is my possession of a LEGO USB stick, but I've put it to very good use recently.
I used it to make a build of Chrome OS called Flow bootable.
So I've been trying out Chrome OS this morning, and I have to say, I like it!
It's compatible with Chrome themes and extensions, and of course it looks like Chrome. It basically IS Chrome, in fact, with very few differences. I'll do a pros and cons list for fun:
Pros: Chrome's sleekness Themes Extensions Lots of web apps Flash pr
I listened to Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds a couple of days ago, and I can't get it out of my head now! It does have some good songs, though. And a good story. So I suppose it's OK.
My favourite's Brave New World, where the Artilleryman sings about his plan of living underground:
We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they clap eyes on us and we're dead, right? So, we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where? Underground! You
I haven't made an entry in a while, so I thought I might as well.
I've been playing Platinum quite a lot recently. I'm trying to finish the national Pokedex. My seen count is at 340 and my caught is 100 and something.
Right now I'm training my Dragonair and any random Pokemon I haven't evolved yet.
I'm also very excited about the new TF2 update, the Sniper/Spy Update, since I main Spy, and the Dead Ringer looks awesome.

Today, I successfully rooted my Legend. I just flashed my first ROM to it, 'L'espresso', an Espresso Sense UI for the new T-Mobile MyTouch Slide. It's working! =D Looks pretty neat so far, it's quite cool with all the --

Not even an option to sync twitter to FriendStream.

While I was in NZ, I watched the End of Time, because I downloaded it off the Internet. I missed a bit of it, right near the end, which was a bummer, but I got most of it. Obviously, in this episode, the 10th Doctor dies. I wasn't expecting Wilf to be the knocker, though. It is better, I suppose, that he died saving a life, than his dying at the hands of a corrupt Time Lord. The Lord President was Rassilon, too, which was awesome, because we haven't seen him since The Five Doctors, which is one
The iPad is coming out (in the US) on the same day as the new series of Doctor Who starts in BritainThe iPad is coming out in Australia in the same time frame as the new series of Doctor Who starts here.

I'm so excited!)Australia gets Doctor Who both before and after America (because we get it early online)Term 1 is nearly overGoogle Reader is time-consuming, and aweso
Which one would you prefer?
Spec-wise they match up quite well - the HD has more RAM, other than that, they're identical (although, the Z's processor is underclocked to 800MHz). There's two main differences: Screen size (4.3-inch vs 3.7-inch) and physical keyboard (none vs one).
I'm not sure myself - I like the HD's screen, but I also like a keyboard. The trackpad on the Z would be nice, and the battery cover on the HD is the same as the Legend's (which is a feature I somewhat detest).
Somehow, I'm STILL sick. I've had a massive headache since yesterday morning. And on top of that, I'm not allowed to have medicine, so my acne is getting really bad.

But hey, I get out of my vaccinations today (can't have them while you're sick), so that's a sort of plus, considering my fear of needles.
Hey.
I got my new phone yesterday. It's much better up close, in looks at least. I'm sending this blog post from it at the moment... The keyboard is quite easy to type on. , although I am using a different keyboard (called ThickButtons, it's the best free keyboard I've used). Actually, this is quite easy, and im not making too many mistakes.
Well, there's my sorta test/blog post thingy...
Rav
I just want to post a quick entry about Science. As is pretty clear, I want to be a scientist, specifically particle physicist, when I am older. The main reason is a strong urge to discover the universe. I have a love of truth, sometimes annoyingly strong in social circumstances. These are the reasons I feel so strongly about science. But I also accept that the vast majority of people don't share these feelings, and the following is why, even if you don't share my love of truth and urge of disco
The Stars are out in Australia!
I have no idea why I haven't said this on my blog until today, after all, I got them 4 days ago.
I like the Stars, particularly Nektann, Tahu, and Rahkshi. The first thing I did when I got them was to replace the MU beings' hands with MU hands, because beings of the MU do not have hands. A side effect was that Tahu's shield increases in awesomeness by a factor of 1 billion (that is, it looks like a proper shield, rather than a little disc or something.).
I just got back from a 2 week trip to New Zealand, and I have to say, the weather was a lot nicer. When we arrived in Australia again it was mid 30's in the shade with humidity at about 90%
The original plan was to go around the North Island for a week, then the South for another, but my mum got scared of the ferry across (It was horrible weather) so we just trekked around the North Island for 2 weeks instead.

HOLIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS!
Just thought I'd get that out there.
In other things, the Pandorica Opens on Sunday night here, and I have friends over for it. But I've seen it. So I mustn't give spoilers. This is a challenge
Also I only want to format my text in blog posts and topic starting posts.
Speaking of topic-starting, I started a topic =O

So today I stayed home again (3 school days so far), and went to the doctor (so strictly speaking I didn't stay home, but you know what I mean). I was diagnosed (hopefully correctly) as Croup, which is basically an overreaction on the part of my immune system. That means I'm (strictly speaking) not sick. Which means, probably, I can go back to school tomorrow. But I get to miss out on sport for a while. That's good too
Rav
Oh dear. The school holidays have almost abandoned me.
Oh how they fleet by, as school drifts slowly closer.
Well, I like school, so it's not too bad.
And, yay, QI's going to start airing on the ABC on Tuesday! My dad got a DVD of QI for his birthday, from his parents, and I loved it. It's not, unfortunantly, starting with the first series, but with the 6th. And the 3rd episode of the 6th, too.
Well, that was a rather pointless entry. Then again, this is a blog...
