Time flies by ... and I WILL SUUURVI-VE, ... LIGHT THE FUUU-SE, ... NEVER LOOO-SE

Will use this quiet Saturday evening spent listening to Muse updating my blog with some interesting events that I've attended over the past month or so, ... until I get bored or sleepy or both.

Oh, it's the Olympic song now. I like the Prelude. Perhaps more than the song. Heard this so many times during the summer. I attended a lot of events.

Okay, I don't do patriotism. I don't really care about Great Britain or England all that much. I'm glad I was born here. I'm glad I grew up here. I'm glad I live here. We're very lucky, ... but I don't immediately feel attached to other people because we share nationally. I'm quite proud of my German and Polish anchestry, sure. It's all fairly irrelevant though. Despite all that, who can't watch this video and think ... god-dammit, we rocked this whole Olympics/Paralympics hosting business. Seriously. London ruled for a few short weeks in summer 2012. People were happy. They spoke to each other on the tube. It was totally weird, ... but pretty great.

Perhaps I will write a proper blog entry about all my Olympic experiences at some point. Bit late. Would be kind of nice to look back though.

Technological woes ... and cyber-funk

Have been without living without my laptop for nearly five weeks now. It just stopped working. Retrieved it from the repair store yesterday. They can't fix it, ... or it would be prohibitively expensive to do so. Apparently the logic board has gone. I don't really know what that means. It sounds pretty crucial. They also found blu-tack in my system. What the hell!? Pretty sure that no would've been able to open it up since I brought it. Why would they want to? Hmm, Dell. This does not reflect well on you.

So, I need to buy a new computer. What a pain. No idea what to get.

Currently sitting in my (old) room at my parent's house. Using my Dad's laptop hooked up to my old monitor. He's having some problems with his screen. Listening to the new Muse album. Panic Station is pretty cool. Quite funky. Surprising. Doesn't sound like Queen. I like it. Is that a trumpet? Only three songs in, bit early to make a judgment ... but, hopefully it continues to impress.

My sister still needs to grow up...
