Desalination

Today I ended up playing heaps of Halo 2 with my friends...yes I realise this has nothing to do with my title, but i'm getting there. See, we were supposed to be working on our desalination plant, in which we literally have to build a miniature, working solar desalination plant and actually purify at least 50ml of water. Thankfully we have a solid design and plan, and now we just need to actually build it and see if it works.

We did end up getting some work done...along with a few rounds of Halo 2, which is always good. I realised I have been level 7 for so long, I really need to get posting in order to go up in ranks, so see ya on the forums.

Rugby

Well tonight I went to my first live rugby match, WOW! Sadly the team I was supporting (Western Force) lost, but the atmosphere is amazing and its really much more exciting being there and I never realised it. This weekend I also have a stack of homework that I am thrilled to be doing *obvious sarcasm*. Seriously though I am pleased with myself as compared to last year I am trying a lot more, and results definetly show.

Okay again I always have to say a goodbye and make some sort of statement signifying that this blog post is officially over....so yes, its over.

Civ 4 and Age of Empire 3

Well its been a while my fellow gamers, sorry I have been up to my hands (if they are outstretched above my head) in homework and school, so I really just have not got the time for regular updates. Although recently I did get Civilization 4 and Age of Empires 3 and I have been playing them at any chance I get, having a massive strategy game fest, as there are hardly any decent strategy games on xbox I was missing this poor genre. I must first of all say WOW! Civ 4 is the absolute king of civilizations and Age of Empires 3 is also the absolute proud queen (don't ask me why its a girl) of age of empires. Although it is a bit sad as my pathetic computer cannot do justice to either of the games' gorgeous graphics, I can still enjoy the gameplay as much as anyone with a 1000 dollar graphics card.

Well I am off to posting on the forum as it is calling out to me, for I havnt posted in it for quite some time. I would also like to say I really am not looking forward to tomorrow as I have a test for Introductory Calculus, which is apparently quite challenging and I do really hope I do well in it, so wish me luck...for anyone who reads this....not many people...:P

Schooling

Well I'm back at school *long scream* and actually its not too bad. I get to see all my friends again, plus this year I probably have the best array of teachers ever! Of course the amount of homework I get has increased by a thousand times, so I havn't been able to play my xbox since i've been at school, because I actually want to do well this year. Im in Year 11, and doing TEE, which for most people who don't live in Australia, this may sound like gibberish. Year 11 here is upper school, and I after this I only have Year 12 then graduation *continous wooping*. Its a big difference going from middle to upper school, the teachers strangly treat you with more respect as they expect you are a mature young adult now, rather than an annoying teenagers (how wrong they are though :P) I'm not really looking forward to such things as exams, but I guess they are inevitable and I will only try my best. I'm doing the top subjects in Maths and Science, and a regular English course, plus a History suject (groovy....) I'm glad I managed to sneek in some time for this update, I probably won't be able to update very regularly anymore due to an overwhelming amount of work layed upon me, but I will try my best, toodles :D

Half-life 2

Well just yesterday I finally got round to completing Half-life 2. I must admit I really was kind of confused when it came to the story and it didn't really tell you much, which im hoping leaves room for Half-life 3 :D.

Now I have just got back into playing Ninja Gaiden, although I have school in two days, so I wont be playing games as much as I would like... :(  I'm enjoying playing Ninja Gaiden, and its always an extremely fun challenge. I played it before more regularly a while ago, but then stopped, now im right back into it. Thats all for me, end post...

School is Soon

Okay in reaction to my title..

NOOOOOOOOOO *shoots self in head*   *realises im holding a chocolate bar instead of a gun*    *eats chocolate bar*

Mmmmmm chocolate gun. Anyways, hmmm its been a whole 8 days since I have updated this Blog, if I had some sort of blog father they would be royally spanking me right now because I certainly havn't kept up with this. Never fear though because...well mainly because im a weak computer geek, but also dont worry I havn't forgotten about this glorious community, I was merely on a wee holiday to Albany for a few days. For all of you wondering what Albany is, its a town or city...depends on how you look at it, just south of Perth (sadly about a 4 hour boring drive :(  )

Well not much has been happening on the gaming side of my life, which is strange because that used to make up about 95% of my life. Now I have all this free time that I mostly spend watching the Australian Open (Yes I like Tennis!) and going on my computer doing nerdy things, although I like to think they aren't very nerdy. Today I just got Flash Professional 8, so I'm now learning how to use it, and I am amazed by its power and sheer amount of possibilities you can do with it. Thats all for me now, I might be off to bed soon, even though its quite early for em (10:15pm), but I am just soo tired as I was rudely awakened early this morning by a message on my mobile phone!

No Xboxing

Im a man of few words.....any questions?

Okay, but seriously I havn't played xbox in well over a week, and sorry if I havnt updated this Blog in ages i've just been more busy than normal. Well today I went to a lovely restuarant for lunch and had some of the best calamarri ever. Now im very full of food and finally decided to update my journal because its been a while, and I bet the 1 reader (myself) has been wondering when some new updates are coming, well don't worry viewers (if any), here is your precious update of my normal, random and unequivocally irrelevant ramblings :P.  See u NEXT TIME on the next episode of My Blog, we finally find out whether or not I will play my Xbox.....

For all you impatient people who cant be bothered waiting till the next issue.....yes I am just about to go play my Xbox as soon as I stop typing this stupid post.

I'm quite hot!

Okay calm down ladies you totally took that the wrong way, for one I play video games, so that immediately brings down my social status. Anyways enough of that, by the title "I'm quite hot!" I didn't actually imply that in the appearance context, I literally mean I am hot like an egg in a frying pan. For it is the damnable summer of Australia, and what better time for my air-conditioner to break *obvious sarcasm*. As you might have guessed by know what I am talking about with my vague clues, so I will stop trying to be cryptic. Sadly its about 30+ degrees Celsius here at the moment, and expected to reach a top of 36, which is about 98F, for all you Fahrenheit users out there. To top this burning hell off, my air-conditioner decides to suddenly act like Windows 98 and die! Thankfully in about 2 hours an air-conditioner repair man will come and hopefully fix the problem, otherwise I will be forced to violently remove his genitals.

Thats enough from me, im just trying not to melt into my seat at the moment, but hopefully this should all be fixed quite shortly, but if not and I die due to evaporation, tell my wife......Hello.

50 Posts!

W00t! I have reached 50 posts, what an achievement for just over two weeks *sarcasm*. But seriously thats still quite a high post count ratio. 50posts/15 days iv been a member, and thats just a bit over 3 posts a day, which is more than I had planned. I was originally going for at least 1 post per day, but well I guess I have a lot more free time on my hands than I had originally thought.

In other news though, today I played some Burnout Revenge and I am steadily getting through it, although the Burning Laps still annoy me to extreme lengths. I can't seem to get gold on them because you always have to remember shortcuts and constantly repeat the event until you know the track and its shortcuts back to front, and I just don't have the patience to do that. I will probably go back and finish it another time, for I did entirely complete Burnout 3: Takedown, and those were some fun times, yelling and screaming at the game because I just couldn't finish those last few events, but after the 50000th try I finally did it and how relieved was I.

Sooooooo tired

Well I did have a good new year, and a Happy New Year to everyone. Except my New Years Eve party consisted of not sleeping throughout the whole night and mainly just playing Soul Calibur on PS2. Then my friends and I decided to take a walk outside at 4am and we stayed outside and didn't come home till about 5:30am, which by then the sun had rose and it was dawn. I can now proudy say I watched the first sunrise of 2006 here in Western Australia.

I am now extremely tired because I have not slept since yesterday. I did have a brief nap today, but that didn't seem to help much. Right now I am just listening to loud music and drinking coke in order to stay awake. That's enough for me for now, i'm sorry I havn't posted in a couple of days, but I have been quite busy with New Years and partying.
