Well I haven’t written much in the past couple of months, have I? But then I was going through Rangitha’s blog, realized how much he has written and I felt like I was not being as committed to my blog. Made me feel ashamed. So I forced myself to write a blog entry, and here I am. Blogging. Again. And it feels good. Maybe it’s just the heater in the room…
This blog post is about how my life is going. Way to prove how boring it is to the readers. 😉
Well I’ve been absolutely impressed with Nerdfighter community. They make awesome YouTube videos, have their own little record label and do some good community work with their “Project for Awesome”. I wonder if I should become one too, but then I don’t think I’ll be making much videos. First I should get this blog going, and maybe then, maybe, I can join YouTube, start making videos… and all that.
Speaking of YouTube, I’ve recently discovered Wheezywaiter’s YouTube channel and I’ve totally fallen in love with the guy’s videos. His videos are very funny and creative. Makes me a bit jealous. 😛
I’ve started to read fantasy again. Medieval and medieval-ish fantasy, just thought I should make that clear :P. I’m reading Joe Abercrombie’s “First Law” trilogy at the moment and I’ve just started on the second book. They’re pretty alright. There’s no “wow” factor, though—but I may be wrong, I’ve just started on the second book—but definitely interesting and they give you enough to keep turning the pages. I’ll give the first book 7 out of 10.
In the meantime I’ve been disappointed again, because it looks like George R. R. Martin’s “A Dance With The Dragons” publication is going to be delayed some more. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. I’m waiting impatiently… but HBO is making the first book of the series into a TV series—“A Game of Thrones”. This should be exciting. I hope they don’t ruin the books. I’m optimistic, though, because George R. R. Martin himself is involved in the production. If you don’t watch this series when it is airing, I swear I will disown you as a friend. Just kidding. Or maybe not.
I’ve also been acting a bit. No, not a movie star just yet (I like these things to go slowly, you see :P)—but I’ve performed in two of the productions by the “Scribble” writers’ group in the LUDS (Liverpool University Drama Society). On the Ghost Tour, I was an evil politician planning to drop a bomb on Liverpool just to gain votes. On the 12-Hour Play I was a drug dealer. I kind of like working with the group, it’s fun. Weird how I end up with evil characters, but hey I’m not complaining!!! For me, the weirder the character, the better. 😀
Uni work has been going quite well, got pretty good marks for the Science Communication Project and for the mechanics test (comparatively in the second case :P)… but then I made some stupid mistakes in the relativity homework stuff and got some stuff wrong. Oh well. (I said “stuff” twice in that sentence. I can’t be bothered to change it now.)
I haven’t kept up with any news though. I’m pretty much living under a rock. In a sense, though, it feels good because I don’t get all worked up about the stuff I hear on the news. But I guess I should know what’s going on. Maybe I’ll start reading some news after this…
Hmm… and that’s about it, really. I promise I’ll come up with an interesting blog post that isn’t about my mundane life soon. In the meantime, though, have fun aaaand subscribe to my blog!!! 😀
