One Step Closer!
Been a while! That’s probably the longest I’ve ever gone without updating and, sure enough, I still beat Deirdre to it! It’s been a gruelling month of toil, hardships, reading, typing and sitting in the dark gently rocking (I wish I were kidding!) but at last I’ve finished my dissertation! 10,990 bloody words! The nightmare isn’t over yet… there’s still an essay due Monday and exams on the 16th and 22nd standing between me and graduation but at least the burden just got a lot lighter! As for JET… I reckon most of youz know now that I’ve been made an “alternate,” like Matt and Dani were. I really don’t wanna get my hopes up but…. naaaah. I’ll just leave it at “I don’t wanna get my hopes up!”
Other stuff. Something pretty cool! I got presented with a “Club Rose” by the Fencing Club. Basically it’s like being made MVP… or at least that’s what I told myself until I found out that all off us who have been with the club for more than 2 years and are in our final year get one, being myself, Steve and Sabre Dave. I was totally gonna not mention all that and just go with the “MVP” thing (and had Balex sworn to secrecy) but I figured, “what the hell!” Here I am with my certificate and complimentary tie! I know it’s pretty dark but in the picture Balex took with the flash on I look, well, stupid. Er. Stupider.
On other cool developments Balex bought himself a shiny new computer and video camera on receiving our last loan installment and, keen to utilise the film making potential of both, forced…. *ahem* “asked” Kate and I to make a film. The results were indeed pretty cool, in spite of Balex insisting on putting 2 really rough pics of me in it…
. There’s a link on Balex’s Xanga to the finished product, entitled “Futility!” Still, may as well provide one myself! Here be the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQDElkcXdowYou should also find here in Balex’s youtube account a handful of epic duels between our Soul Calibur 3: Order of I House custom characters. Matt defeating me in a duel over a lava river (grrrr, but heh!), Mike and Jen in a Coastal face-off, Holly and Kate in a diminutive but deadly sword and shields confrontation and Sarven brutally dispatching Mel (sorry Mel, but no-one beats Sarv!) list among the battle line up. It should all be there… but here’s a short fight of me beating Matt in a lava duel (the clearly more realistic outcome!) Enjoy!‘Kay! That about wraps things up! I’ll be sure to update with my characteristic frequency now most of my work is behind me. I can tell how much you’ve suffered without me… At least the search engines seem to be heart-broken! Seriously though, what is the deal with those search engines…!!? I get, like, 32 footprints 1 day and 28 are Google or Yahoo.com!!! I know I can block ‘em by enabling Xanga Lock but I don’t really like the idea of making my Xanga restricted access. I’m a liberal Xanga Emperor! OK, whatever.Til next time. Love. Peace… and “May the 4th be with you!” (Had to be done..!

yours puns and tie will destroy us all! make it stop!! ya poo poo head.
and what’s up with posting the video where i lose? i object. it’s libel. it’s slander. it’s got to be something illegal! you should have been knocked in the lava, and you know it! you don’t play right! i’m going home!
Ohhh no. I will not allow that letter to creep its way into my spelling. First you’ll take the language back, then you’ll say, “Let us just have a few colonies,” and then we’ll all be having afternoon tea and dropping Rs from our words! I know how you folks work!
Missed you Dave! Good to see that you are back to updating and I expect regular postings;).
Yes! With dissertations out of the way we can look forward to exams…! Heh heh heh…
As for our short film, there was no forcing involved really… you always had a choice whether or not to participate, I just made sure you knew which was the right choice, that’s all… ^_^
Ah, ganbatte! And congratulations on your certificate… I’m going to call you the MVP anyway, just let them stop me….
You have an exam all the way on the 22nd? Oof. I envy you not. But again, ganbatte!
i love the new profile picture. very well drawn. i applaud the artist!
awesome ties, awesome videos! We have all seen Balex in his outfit so thats no surprise, but your SWAT style get up is pretty darn cool!!
You guys got anything else in the pipeline with your new camera? How did it do at the box-office? Perhaps we can find another sponsor for the sequal if you turned over a couple of hundred mil iÎj
MVP?
i love puns… =)
Actually afternoon tea would be pretty nice. Dustin has really turned me into a tea drinker, and I’ve always been a snacker. Essentially, I’m always eating, thinking about what I’m going to eat next, or reminiscing about what I ate earlier. And Matt thinks HIS inner child is a fatty. I really couldn’t think of what total British domination would look like over here without being possibly offense, so I picked the neutral ground of tea. I didn’t say tea and crumpets because I’m told that it’s actually a euphemism for something else.
Know what’s better than being a Hollywood villain? Being a comic book villain, which I often resemble during those months I decide to wear my hair short and choppy.
