Just....

Today, or rather yesterday, has been another uneventful day. Except that in some ways that would interest very few of you out there, it has been. Of the most noteworthy is that i got accused of being insensitive. I won't go into the details because it's actually quite a private issue and those involved would certainly object to me broadcasting it to strangers on the internet, but suffice to say I assured them it was a misunderstanding on their behalf because of a mistake on my part. Anyway, it's all been sorted now, as has the [i]disagreement[/i] me and my sister had yesterday [she and my brother have gone to somewhere in England because a mutual friend of theirs, who is younger than me and is pregnant, is having a birthday bash and so intend to celebrate big style, but hopefully not too big style because of the whole being pregnant thing, phew!] although she did understand the situation and then I did agree I had some part in the wrongdoing, but it's been sorted now. I can't believe I basically started off a whole post with a list of stuff I've argued about, that's quite sad.

Onto less depressing stuff, I have recieved some information from a great friend who reads this blog, and she has given me a number to a recruitment agency who should be able to hook me up with a paying gig! That's a job to those who don't get my weird way with words. Ooh, alliteration! Talking of grammatic coincidences, yesterday I was explaining how all I had to do with my student loan application form [yep, that's right. I have only just sent mine off, 2 months late. Better late than never though!] was to sign it, seal it, stamp it and send it, and it came out as exactly that with all the s's. It felt like a sitcom, or not at all like one.

Oh yes, [b]terrible[/b] news for me yesterday! Some guy rings the house up and asks for Mr _______. I answer I was a Mr _______ and who was calling, and he tells me he's from the Carmarthen camera centre. I think "Ok, this is either good news or bad news" because not so long ago I took my camera to the beach [and got that awesome pic of Three Cliffs Bay a few posts ago] and my sisters friends who I got along with came too. Actually, what's more accurate is I came along with them. Anyways, I lent my camera to one of them, and when they gave it back to me, it had sand everywhere in it, so thought "A simple dig around will get all this out" but nope, when I tried to get it out, I heard it rattling around inside the thing too. Making it worse, the lens wouldn't come out when I put it on shoot mode, and this horrible grinding noise was heard. He offered to pay for the costs to repair but I said "nah, it'll be all right, won't cost much to get sand out." Took it to the camera centre, paid £25 as a sort of holding fee, which would wither go towards the cost of fixing it if it needed fixing, or would be refunded if it didn't cost that much etc, so figured £25 about right. The phone call though, this is where it gets bad. "I just got off the phone with the camera centre, and they've given me a price. It's £60 for parts..." Oh. F&*£ing. God. "And £40 for labour/laser..." he said something else after this but i was too shocked to hear it. "...so that comes to £117.50. Now what do you want me to tell them, shall I tell them to go ahead and do it?" "Um, err, I'll have to check on this because I'm not in a great monetary position right now [a.k.a I'm skint] so would you mind if I called you back in a day or two?" "No problem, here's the number etc. Bye." My best bet now would be trying to get in touch with my sis' friend and asking him for a bit of help, because as well as him already offering, I can honestly say I would never have let it get in that state and it was because he had gone exploring. Though I will feel extremely bad asking him for the money, but most of all, that camera has sentimental value because I got it when travelling in America. Overall [b]terrible[/b] news.

Ok, going on though I've got an extremely, I would say, special video of the day! Ok don't panic, it's not three videos of the day, it's one video split into three. Get this though, it's an actual pilot episode for a TV show in America. Best do a bit of explaining for this one. It started off as a pilot for the 2005-06 season, and it was created by the WB [no longer exists, well as of September anyway when it joins forces with some other channel, UPN?, and becomes the CW]. It didn't make it past the pilot, so all was forgotten. Except some dudes on youtube dug it up and uploaded it. Now, after becoming a sort of minor success on the site, it has now been picked up for 6 episodes by none other than NBC, a rival network to CW. The program is called Nobody's Watching [The joke you're thinking of is already done in the piulot :D] and now you may watch it, entirley legal i think, on the following videos. Enjoy!





Musically, I really love this song and bought it on iTunes today. The bands good too. The Calling - Dreaming In Red. Also good is Idle Sons - Little Bit Less. I hope you're listening to these songs, there's nothing worse than not even trying out new music!

My pic of the day is this random picture taken of a famous London landmark. A bonus point if anybody can comment with the right landmark!



And todays' link of the day is pretty much about justice. It's a good feeling to know that people are out there trying to bring justice to sick perverts like those featured on this site. It's also highly disturbing to read things that they say, so maybe only click on this link if you don't have a weak stomach.
