Updates, front and back.
As you probably haven’t noticed, I’ve updated wordpress to the latest version, after putting it off for ages. I haven’t updated it since I got wordpress back in July ‘08 (a whole year, in fact). The update makes it easier for me to upgrade plugins- it’s automatic now. And the whole admin side of the site is a lot nicer too. Not only does it look nice, but it handles well and is easier to navigate. So, if you’re reading this and you have an out-of-date wordpress blog, go backup your stuff then update!

Alton Towers!
My good friends Alex and Mario came round last week to go to Alton Towers with mum (cause she’s the only one who can drive… yet). It was super fun, and we had a great time going on all the rides. As we went in July, it wasn’t as busy as the peak time in the summmer holidays. But, as we had all finished our GCSE exams before everyone else, we could beat the crowds, and we definitely beat the queues.I think we must have done at least 30 rides over the 3 days, possibly more- which is considerably more than the time Alex went to Thorpe Park in the height of the summer season and got on 4 rides in the whole day!

Year One
Just a quick note to say I saw Year One yesterday. It was good- I’d give it a 6/10. It loses points cause I thought the plot was a bit strange (they keep changing from being a slave, then they’re guards, then they’re slaves again… etc), but most of the jokes were funny (with exceptions for crude toilet humour…) and the actors played it well.
It was a funny mess of biblical stories, such as Cain and Abel, but with a casual, modern twist. It was rather funny seeing all these people from the bible talking with a modern vocabulary.
I’d recommend it, it’s quite a dumb film, mashing random parts of history together- but that’s why it’s good.

GAH UPDATE
Sorry about not posting recently, if anyone still reads this. If you do, please comment- it’s nice to know if at least one person reads my blawg.
My previous post (quite a while ago now) about that song called Duality- I’ve handed vocals over to Hania, who unfortunately seems to be dragging her feet a little. I’ve bugger a while about it, but it’s been nearly two months now. In the new year, I shall rant on her again D:
I got Rock Band! XD Tis pretty awesome. So I don’t think I’ll be making any more music any time soon :P
So yeah, check this space after the new year begins. Wish me luck…

Going to the beach – with friends!
Ok, maybe I am a bit addicted to going to this West Wittering place. But it’s such a great beach, soft sand and quite good waves (by British standards, anyway).
So I went with 3 friends- Alex, Paul and Shan. And mum- cause she’s the only one who can drive, and the only one who would want to pay for food and parking :P

Going to the Beach – East Head Spit
So I went to the beach today, West Wittering beach, to be precise.
In geography we’re going to do a project next term, on a hypothesis about West Wittering beach in general. We have to come up with our own hypothesis, something like “Is West Wittering a good tourist resort”, or “Is WW a stable and sustainable beach”. Something like that. Then we have to do a big project proving or disproving that hypothesis. It’s a bit heavy going really. We were looking at some projects people did last year, and they were like 50 pages long! Some of the pages were just like a big picture or some graphs, but it’s still a rather big project to be compelted by October.
But, today I did the better part of the project. Went to the beach with my Mum, and just took lots of pictures :D I’ll sort out later how I’m going to use them in my project, but it was fun to do them today- I guess it’s proving that I’ve finally broken up from school.

School’s out!
So, finally we have been released from the prison that is Oaklands Catholic School. For 7/8 weeks at least. I’m a bit miffed though, cause I was talking to a friend from America, he says they get like… 3 months or something off for summer :c
But, as it was the last day, Oaklands always tries to make the first half the most boring morning ever conceived since last years last day. (If that makes any sense) First, they have a whole school mass, hence the “Catholic School” part of their name. Rather irrelevant to me now, as I’m now atheist. But, I just sit there and daydream, none of the teachers mind- and I think they can empathise with the kids having to sit there packed like sardines in the hall.
