Big Brother Finale - My View.

Wow! Look at Davina's hair! Is she trying to be Elvis Presley? The quiff is simply ginormous! The shiny outfit, oh dear! I don't think I'm liking this look, and you normally look cool, Davina! For the remainder of this blog I shall call her Elvina.

Everyone is booing when she mentions Bea. Surprise Surprise.

Urgh, Siavash is walking around in that leotard that they're making him wear. What a disaster! The silly bugger is on about leaving when there's only a few days left. Is that not attention-seeking?

Argh! David's eyeliner! What is he thinking! Sophie looks glamorous and seems to have miraculously grown a new head of hair, compared to recent times, (with the song composed by skinhead fellow housemate Lisa "Sophie's got no hair" Go figure.)

Now it's Rodrigo's turn to give his 'toast' He is describing all of his drama queen behaviour over the last 'god knows how long it's been'

Charlie's in tears and they're all dancing like "Ring-a-rosie"

Elvina is back and she says she's gonna reveal the 5th Runner Up in a min. Three ex-housemates come on the stage to a barrage of boos. Saffia and whatsherface have made up now! Bless! Angel is wearing a bowl of congeiled Super Noodles on her head!

Shree looks like an 80's gameshow host. I've never heard so many boos! Barbie (Carly) and Ken are still together. Noreen reveals her relationship with arrogant American man is over. Siavash will be pleased. Marcus still has that bloody pony tail and I think Lisa is wearing the same clothes. No change there then.

Here it comes! Fifth place!.....

RODRIGO! I wonder if he's shocked that he didn't win. Not half as much as Charlie will be, I'll bet. Mostly cheers and a few boos accompany Roddy on the way out. Evlina's strutting around the catwalk of shame. She informs us that she's 'bracing herself for a Brazillian' i.e. Rodrigo, if you don't watch.

They're psychoanalysing Rodrigo now and playing back clips of him.

Rodrigo's family are now on the screen chanting his name and saying "Viva Brazil!" and he informs us his grandmother is 95, so that's impressive.

More drama queen clips ensue and he exits the stage.

Time for another one out!...

Charlie's out!! Siavash is babbling some nonsense about it being some kind of reverse conspiracy. He's probably just trying to make Charlie feel better after so expecting to win. Cheers and boos! (But mostly cheers.) He jumps up and down as he takes Elvina's hand. Who next, I wonder!

Charlie has his little interview and Blonde lady begins his pscyhoanalysis. They say he's grown up in the show. Hmm. Best bits shown and he's carted off.

THIRD!

David! And a barrage of boos. In half an hour he'll be evicted! Goodbye dodgy eyeliner. Siavash speculates that Sophie will win, I think he's probably right. Siavash has some metallic paint on his face so he looks like a Terminator! Outside the studio, Freddie says something to Elvina. I can't make out a word of it; he sounds stoned!

*3O MINUTE BREAK*

"It's down to two and it's over to you" states Elvina followed by a rundown of the elimination process! I think the quiff has gotten bigger!

OMG, clips back to Sophie show much weight she put on! She'll have to go on a diet when she gets out to get her 'glamour girl' career back on track. I really don't think she's pregnant with Kris's baby though, despite press speculation.

David trots out! Is he wearing high heels?! He is walking like he is. No, they're flat. He camps it up with claps and gymnastic finishing moves to a significant amount of boos.

Now he's sitting with Elvina and feeling 'absolutely bloody brilliant!' He looks ultra-pleased that he has finished third and Davina comments on his friendly personality. It is revealed that Robbie Williams had voted for David and after his clips are shown it's time for the winner to be announced!

She's now gonna talk to the house. They are huddled up on the sofa and the winner isssssss....

SOPHIEEE!

I knew it. I'm quite pleased for her as I wasn't a big fan of Siavash. Siavash has glitter in his hair, I have jsut noticed. It does look better straightened, for sure. Out he plops in his high heels and that bloody horrible leotard he had been forced to wear.

SIAVASH-inator straddles down the stairs amongst big boos but there are a lot of cheers too, to be fair.

He's now sitting down and his voice has gone. They are booing as Davina mentions his drama about threatening to leave the house the other day and he has to explain his voice has gone. Davina revelas where she got that repulsive jacket. Shame on River Island! I really hate it, but I like Davina. I mean Elvina. He apologises to the girlfriend he had, who he cheated on with Noreen. LOL as I just realised Isaac (Noirin's ex) stole Siavash's catchphrase of 'Rock'n'roll!" Siavash did have his good points.

Now it's time for Sophie to leave the house! 74.4% of the vote. I don't hear any boo's! Maybe they told the booers to shut up since the winner got boos last year. Fireworks all around! Bang bang bang! Davina's sparkly jacket is so bright it's literally making my eyes wince.

She's now chatting with Davina! I bet she can't wait to get those extensions sorted out. 'Kris' her house romance says 'well done, babes' and now it's time for clips of her and Rodrigo, her best buddy in the house. They do have a good friendship, it's clear!

Her best bits are shown and it did make me think she was quite an entertaining housemate, to be fair!

A run down of the series is shown and they've defo made it look good and reminded me of some of the best bits that I had forgotten.

There's more fireworks as she gets her 71 grand! Well done, Sophie. Certainly not well done to Davina's sylist, though! I hope she manages to look better for the finale of the final Big Brother next year!

June!

So, here we are in June! What's new? Well. Still no job, but maybe something will turn up soon. iPod Touch is still brilliant! There are sooooooo many apps! It's cool. I think you should all get one!

I got my hair trimmed the other day. I think I've abandoned the idea of growing my hair long becaus I think "it's not really me", however I'm still keeping it quite long and want a longer fringe than I currently have (I think)

I've been exercising more. If you would like to do more exercise and don't have any gym equipment, I recommend you look on YouTube for some cardio work-outs (that's what I do) I do a 10 minute Jump-cardio work out and it really does make you knackered! lol But that means it's working, right? I'm also trying to snack LESS.

I've managed to ruin my arrow keys on the laptop! LOL. If you ever find the keys are stiff and you think "Oh, I'll just take the keys off and put them back on, maybe that will help" like I did, DON'T. It's too risky. You have to be really careful, it's OK if only the top of the key comes off, but the whole mechanism came off, in this instance, and then it wouldn't go back together or attach back to the keyboard and I lost the little rubber spring. And then I tried to make a new key out of an unused keys mechanism. The end result is a drawer full of key bits, no UP key, no DOWN key, a Pause Break key with no spring, No scroll lock key, and there were 2 fake plain black "keys" and now one of them's gone too. DISASTER. God help me trying advertise this thing on eBay.

I want a netbook ASAP and I shall leave the keys alone!!! I also want a new phone. I have an LG Cookie. I haven't broken it (surprisingly) but I find it very awkward to text message on, because it's all touch screen and I think I want something like the Sony Ericsson W910. Only 99 quid on pay as you go T-Mobile, it has a big screen, customizable themes and WIFI!

Anyway, that's enough now LOL

New Song! "Our Broken Heart"

Hey!

I have a new songggg. It's called Our Broken Heart and it's an electro-pop/dance tune. You can check it out on www.myspace.com/mikecartermusic so please do so!!

The lyrics are:

Verse
So, goodbye,
I watched you leave me for the last time,
I could try,
And get you outside of my mind,

Bridge
You always like to leave an impression,
When I first met you, I didn't like you,
I know it's not much of a confession,
'Cos everyone feels the same,

Chorus
It's you and me, but you're gonna leave,
You're gonna lose everything,
I'll fall apart and our broken heart,
Will never be the same.

Music in Dreams

The other night I had this dream. I was in Longton, and I saw a woman who looked like Enya, singing outside of Carphone Warehouse. She was singing a song that my mind had somehow spontaneously created and it sounded good! It does make you think about how smart the human brain must be to do things like that. I have also dreamt complete tracks before that I've heard on the radio etc. in my dreams. I'm sure you all do it. Next time you hear music you've never heard before in a dream you should think about how your mind has created that piece and how in real life, the amount of thought goes into making a song and how long it takes. It's even weirder when the lyrics and tone of the melody actually seem to make sense. And it's all created in a second. O.o I'm rather spooked. LOL.

Windows 7 RC - First thoughts!

Windows 7 RC! It's very nice. Some nice new themes! I love the new login screen. The sound schemes are cool. Windows Media Center is very fancy! My friend was saying how much he loves the new media player. It's nice! I'm confused to where the "add to library" feature is meant to be located in it, though. I found it kinda by accident, through another thing.

It starts up pretty quick! There's now about 2 start-up processes, and 1 (or less) non-Microsoft services, by default. The new Media Center gadget is cool, but the television show it linked me to was only watchable in the US, so I can't really comment there. The Performance Information tool now works properly! (It didn't in the beta.)

Overall, it's very nice! I hopefully should enjoy using this through until next year. (One little thing, can't use 4oD because it thinks I have an old media player!) Good otherwise, though!

McDonald's Mayhem!

Well, I've just been to McDonald's. I got up to take rubbish to the bin to come back and find a kid from the table next to us was now sitting in my seat, opposite Shane. Rather than cause a fuss, I just sat on the stool at the side of the table. Then, when he left a minute or two later, I was only back in my seat for five minutes and I felt this sharp pain in my back as the kid threw a strop and lobbed a Happy Meal toy at his little sister which then rebounded off her head, leaving her in tears and then whacked me in the back!! OW. Luckily I was there to act as a shield for Shane otherwise it would have either hit him in the face or landed in the McFlurry which he was eating. I got an apology from one of the adults and I tried to see the funny side, and also the mother of the child said she wasn't coming back to McDonald's again which is probably for the best!

The Power of Rumour

Well, I've just been to job centre. Before I left the house, I heard on the radio that noxious fumes had been in Longton market, and people were being treated. On my way down to the job centre, I noticed tape around the Town Hall and a fire engine. I took an alternate route, avoiding the Town Hall, and I saw people chatting amongst themselves, presumably talking about the drama. It was like being in a role-playing computer game.

Apart from that it, was rather uneventful until I got back in the house. Apparently, my sister had called to say she'd heard "Longton had blown up and 50 people were killed" I have no idea where this would have come from, or how this rumour came to fruition. For a start, it only happened a few hours ago, so to concur that 50 people had been killed in that space of time seems a bit extravagant. It made me think maybe social networking has played a part with people spreading rumours, (like Chinese Whispers, maybe?) Either way, it didn't seem at all that bad. I can only say for sure when I have read what's happened in full in The Sentinel, or if I get an update on the radio. I can certainly tell you that, from what I saw, I did not walk amongst piles of rubble and Longton certainly hasn't "blown up."
