Bonobo

I haven't posted in a month. Not that anyone reads my blog, anyway. Blogs are crap - everyone knows that.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is because of the following things:

1) It's my birthday in... like... 8 days.

2) I'm going to buy myself an iPod on the aforementioned birthday (which is mine) (on the second of october)

3) I've spent all evening sorting out iTunes in advance to the purchase of the aforementioned iPod (which will be of the "new" "classic" variety) (and black) (and 80gb)

4) I like Bonobo.

5) Bonobo's bootleg "Sweetness" does not have album art.

6) I did one:
I know it's not great [read: any good at all] but I thought "what's the point in telling my non-existent readers what I've done if they can't see the result?!"

I did another one that's even worse. You won't be seeing it.

[edit: I made it in Adobe Fireworks, if anyone reads and then starts to care]

Irrelevant Exam Results

Yesterday, I got my GCSE exam results. As everyone knows, as long as you're not so stupid as to leave school immediately after these exams, they're useless. My useless grades were:

Maths: A
English Language: A
English Literature: A
ICT: A
Science (Double course): BB
Statistics: B
Geography: B
RS (Short course): B
Design and Technology - Graphic Products: B
German: A hilarious C.

And that is the last I will need to speak of them.

I went to reading today to pick up a pair of shoes, and ended up grabbing a pair of dark grey-ish blue Vans slip-ons. I would normally avoid Vans, but at £20, I didn't see why I should avoid them further.

Of course, the place was packed because of all the smelly, muddy Reading Festival indie-kids. I hate those kids SO MUCH.

Screw you, Stumbleupon users. Screw you to hell!

Wow. I can't believe it's been a week.

NEXT TIME I GET A TOWER DEFENCE GAME ON STUMBLE UPON, HOSTAGES START DYEING.

Happy.

Today, I did not have a single moronic customer.

That makes me a very happy Jamie.

Although I did almost lose my swiss army knife forever, and I did spend 1.5 hours assembling a wheelbarrow without instructions.

"Holy Shite, Jamie. What Is That Monstrosity?"

This is a Renault Avantime


Someone at Renault must have thought "Why don't we make a coupé... based on the Espace MPV?!"

Because that would be a stupid idea, Renault man. No-one will buy it.

Actually, about 8500 people bought it, but sod-all (about 300) were sold in Britain. This makes it one of the rarest modern production cars in the country. This is why it is blog-worthy.

And I Can't Find A New Battery On Ebay, Either.

This is my MP3 player:


I got a Sony Ericsson w880i a couple of months ago, and I've only just started using that Sony NW-A1000 again, and the battery only lasts about 5 hours.

This makes me very angry.

Nanny State

Okay. Please don't call me a mental, because I've heard that too many times today.

I had a thought a while ago about fingers. Yeah.

Have you ever thought about how many times schools try to nick samples of your fingerprints?

Age 6: At my first school, we did hand prints. Innocent hand prints.

Age 9: Second school. We set up a mini crime lab in the class. Everyone got their fingerprints "on file", so we could see who committed the fictional crime.

Age 13: My third school were a bit more up-front about it. They tricked us all into giving them our prints - through a proper fingerprint scanner - in order to replace library cards.

Now the government are enforcing it! Bobbies and all!

This is just wrong. Unless they're trying to stop a Blade Runner-esque situation occuring. That would scare the bollocks off of me.
