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."

Plushieee

Saw Shane today, woOo! Watched the Gadget Show and Primeval! Both were very good. On the Gadget Show, they were showing how good Twitter is for getting people to events. I guess you have to be pretty popular in the first place though!

I wanna buy some new cool things online to spruce up my room. I would like a Viva Piñata Plush toy! I don’t think they exist though. =( I’ve googled and I can’t see anything. Others that I’m thinking of getting are a Monster inc. Mike Wazowksi, or a Nemo from Finding Nemo. Any other idea’s for a cool plush toy?

I think my friend Debbie might like these! http://animalcrossing.planets.gamespy.com/images/products/plush3.gif
