i am sparticus: Words

Ears and Ears of Corn, CHILDREN OF THE KORRRRRRRRRRN

I just went to the doctors where I waited for ages and ages for him to say "yes your ears are blocked, here go buy this ear drop thing, and make an appointment for syringing on Monday". So 11:40 on Monday I will go there, and by 12:00 (or more likely 3:00) I will be able to hear again. HUZZAH. Just in time for Hundred Reasons on Monday Tuesday too. Huzzah indeedy.

I imagine it will go like this...

Nurse:" Let me just stick this in your ears " sticks big needle in ears

Me: "ow" ears unblock

Angelic Choir: "HALLEJUIAH"

I can but hope. Now to school...

Ohh but in other earness, the stuff I have to put in my ears (otex) uses the world "wiggled" in the instruction sheet. This is funny.

LIKE DUDE!!

I just spent ages filling in a long forward thing that Jess sent me, so I'll keep this short. (shows picture of Jaclyn and Kate, bwaahahahahahhahahahaa, I suck)

Right so today I had physics, which was alright kinda. I also borrowed a little webcam thing of jacs which ROCKS!! it's soooo soo good. I can't believe she doesn't use it. Anyhos I will use it to work on my website. I am thinking random photos of stuff all merged and whatever.

still who cares eh? Hundred Reasons soon.. yeah!

Ohhh how queer

So I was thinking, Now we have the Osbournes on tv, which follows Ozzy Osbourne and family around, so we could have other pop/rock icons on reality shows... oohhh there's a thought

Fran Healy (from like, Travis)

"hi I'm Fran Healy, and I don't really have any family who live with me, so most the time I just walk round in me boxer shorts, and hum"

Hums

Hums some more

Puts on some trousers

Hums

Phone rings

"Hello, Aye right, Aye right, Yeah that's nice, Aye right Bye"

Hangs up

Hums

Sings under his breath "flowers in the window, such a lovely day"

"Isn't everything nice, I like nice things"

Hums

Okay so perhaps Fran Healy isn't the best guy to follow round on a spin off show...

Something Humourous

I did have something funny to write for this post, but I'm too tired. Tomorrow I promise. I did however watch a lot of tv tonight and did some web editing.

So go look here for the fruits of my labours. It's incomplete but getting there.

Oh I have such a headache and I'm very tired I will sleep rather than post.

But in tv review news. "Coupling" isn't that great Cafferine. "How not to get on Big Brother" was more like "How to milk the big brother phenomenam for all it's worth and steal channel 4's concept for 'top 10 villians/soap queens/robot dinosaurs' at the same time". Eastenders was kinda dull, as usually, Nathan needs to get a really hard slap any time soon. The new Star Trek is gone like the old Star Trek. Dull. I stopped watching it. The X-files on Sky was a good one but I had seen it like once before (but it felt like i've seen it 10 times before), he gets killed when his girlfriend drives into him at the end.

Oh I forgot to mention the most important thing of my psychology exam which was I got the worst itch ever on my foot. And I could not itch it and it drove me crazy. I've probably written ITCH ITCH ITCH all over my first paper. Gah.

Finally I blocked my first ever person on msn earlier (well first ever long-term, not a joke blocking), because she added me from the Easyworld board and was all "ASL?" and I could tell the convo was going to go into "what do you look like" and I thought I have enough people who I actually speak to (probably about 1/5 of my contact list) I don't need to speak to random strangers. So I she's gone. Sorry if you read this (and how did you find this btw?) e-mail me and I will apologise and stuff

Now I really am going to bed

Zeldaaaaaaaaaaa

I had my first exam today and really it wasn't that hard... no honestly it was okay. I mean it was hard but not excessively. Whatever. But of more interest was tv before the exam. Yes it being MTV2 day in the block they played MTV2 all morning, during which time I heard "bleach" by easyworld twice. Hooray! it's sooo great... so great I'll post the lyrics

"so you're sad

and you're right

kill yourself

if you like

cos it sucks

so do i

see your day

crawling by

and you know

when you're just

hanging on

that's enough

and if it helps

carry on

be content

you don't belong

oh i know...

you make me want to drink bleach

you make me want to bite stars

though you're losing yourself

still i know who you are

it's a beautiful pain

as the sun in my eyes

and i want to drink bleach

to let me feel i'm alive

i'm so sorry

little one

you know i said

i'd protect you from

the evil world

that you despise

cos it sucks

so do i

and you know

when you're just

hanging on

that's enough

and if it helps

carry on

be content

you don't belong

so how does it feel

to choke on happy

drown in joy

choke on happy

drown in...

oh and i want to drink bleach"

ahh the joys of angsty music. I have to say I don't agree with the lyrics but they're sung like poetry. Ermm in other news I'm trying to persuade Caff to marry me in the sims. I blame Kate for giving me a "scary beard". Hundred Reasons next week. yeah

tune in later for a humourous post.

The Osworths

I saw the funniest thing early. It was a script for a new BBC drama called "the osworths"

Episode 1: scene one

family sitting round a table

Mr. Norman Osworth: "so son, had a good day at school?"

Jimmy Osworth: "Oh not much dad, I got an A on my French test though"

Mrs. Janet Osworth: "oh well done, have some more cake"

Jimmy O: "no thanks I'm full"

Mrs. O starts to put the dishes away

Suzy Osworth: "oh let me get that mum"

auidence laugh, camera fades out

scene 2

In hall/staircase area of house, Mr. O climbing the stairs as he talks

Mr. O: "well I'm off to bed, I've got a long day at the office tomorrow"

Mrs. O: "you haven't seen the cat have you dearest?"

Mr. O: "no sorry honey, shall I got look for it in the bushes with a stick?"

Mrs. O: "no it's okay I'll just leave the cat flap open"

Mr. O: "well then I'm off to have a quick bath"

auidence laugh, camera fades out

scene 3

Mr. O's on the couch watching the tv

Mr. O: "Blast, how can I get this thing of Classic Rock and onto the weather channel?"presses random buttons, brings up teletext/interactive thingy

Jimmy walks past

Mr. O: "Jimmy how do you get the tv off this darn racket and onto the the weather channel?"

Jimmy O: "press the red button, then press 149"

Mr. O: "thanks son"

Jimmy O: "that's okay, now I'm off to get drunk, take drugs and generally partake in rock and roll debaurchary"

Mr. O: "that's nice... whhattt???"

Jimmy O: "only joking dad!"

Mr. O: "ooh you got me there... Hahahhaaahah"

Jimmy O: "hahhaahaha"

all laugh

Auidence applaud, camera fades out

the end

It's the next big thing. Honest

dum-de-dum

In case you have failed to notice, the geocities servers are down. Which means we all won't be able to read Kate and Caff's site. So for one day only (or how ever long it's the servers are down) just go straight to there blogs.

Kate and Caff

Now back to revision =S

Friday I'm in love

So anyway, today was my last day in school with the year below. And it was made memorable by most of the year below we hang out with not being around. Chantal just wasn't around. Kate and Caff went home without saying anything, and Laura only turned up 5 minutes before I went home. Also on the list of sucky things that happened I got very completely and utterly wet and soaked to the bone because Seb, Kate, Cafferine and I decided to walk down to Sketty Park (local place of food buying) and it thundered and lighteninged all the the way there and back.

On top of this all I ignored Cafferines advice to pick up the umbrella that had been left on the floor on the way to Sketty Park, as I was convinced it would not rain much. Grrrr.

Still it did do the whole thunder and lightening thing today which was really cool because I miss real thunder and lightening and warm rain. Warm rain's cool. Apart from the getting wet bit.

Also started redesigning the site, only I need more photos I think. Photos are fun. =)

did ya miss me?

So anyways MSN is working again, after it bust for quite a while. However while it was down I did something constructive. I found more proof that people are stealing my ideas to take over the world or maybe they are merely stealing my ideas for profit. Todays stolen idea was PURPLE CARROTS. In case you haven't read they are planning to introduce purple carrots to the world (again as they where around before but died out). And only the other day I was saying how we need more bluey colours in food. And this is just today. So far I've had the following ideas stolen

• Queen the musical, (Jaclyn and I made this up, a month later it's going to be a west end smash hit. grrrr)
• The idea of ripping of other music videos in your music video. (Blink 182 and Ben Folds stole this of me grrrr)

• The internet (if only I had made it to the patent office sooner)

I'm sure there are more I just can't think of them. I've probably repressed them as the memory of million dollar ideas being stolen is very painful.

So far ideas that haven't been stolen are

• Rhys amazing "feeling full" sponge
• Toilets that automatically flush
• Guitars that join back together automatically when smashed up, after lying on the floor for a bit

Ohhh how freaky is this, I've just been e-mailed by the good folks at NME.COM telling me about how Noel Gallagher has just stolen my opinion on Grunge. I quote

Stop stealing my ideas! It's a conspiracy involving teachers and bugged cats I am sure

Get Boreeed

Right so last night was the last episode of "Teachers" in the current series. And it was kinda disappointing as it was only good, rather than it's normal great. Anyway I salute the show for being very funny. But they did play The Electric Soft Parade as part of the backing music, which is bizzare because "Silent to the Dark II" by The Electric Soft Parade also appeared in Smallville, which was on early. I can only conclude that "INDIE KIDS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD".

If you don't know, Mike has a great fear that Indie-Kids are taking over the world and replacing teeny-goths as the standard insulting material of townies. I would continue in my theory that indie kids are taking over the world, but I really should go to school now as I have to be in by 11:20, although that is ages away.

I'm going to name my invisible dog "Kudos"

Raaarrr... Two things to post about today. So in ordering of happening (Chronological for all you wordy people)

1) Miranda (She has fuzzy hair if you don't know her) said some random word to me after Christian Union today, and I was all unaware of the word. She professed disbelief at this and I pointed out that she didn't know who Abba where till the other day (Seriously, she has no idea who Abba are, how odd is this?). So anyway she said "I bet if you grabbed a random kid in that corridor and asked him if knew of Abba, then he would say no". So I was all, "hahaha no problem, I'll easily show her" so I grab a kid, pose the Abba question and he promptly says "No" and runs off. Grrrr at him for not having a musical background and making me look a fool.

2) I Really Really Really want to go to Reading. It looks soooo good this year, with nearly every single band on the session stage being great. I soo cant' afford it though. And everyone else is going. *Sob*

ooh new design soon :)

The mystery of Chantal

Okay how wrong is this... I just call Tal (for those who don't know Chantal is a girl in my psychology class who was not in today)to see how she is, so first I call her house, and no-one picks up. Which is nothing out of the ordinary (at least I don't think it is, I'm not an expert at calling Tal). As I have her mob number I then call her mobile. Which is where it all gets really weird. First I call it and I get some guy saying "oh you must have a wrong number". So I think, hmmm I must have typed the number in wrong. So I try again, this time no-one picks up and instead I get an answer machine with the same guy as earliers voice. Now I'm sure I got the number right so I am very perplexed. So I ring Caff (it was her or Kate and as it turns out Kate was engaged so it was a good choice) and she tells me Chantals number. Say goodbye and good luck (she has an exam tomorrow you know) and then call this Tal number I just got. I get the guy answer phone again. I am now very perplexed. Realising Tal texted me earlier today I check the text number and the phone number I was given by Caff. And they are identical, as is my phonebook on my phone. Now I am most puzzled. So I ring Cafferine back to tell her my exciting news that Chantal has been abducted and replaced by an alien bloke. And she is very non-plussed by it all. Leading me to believe that in fact she is IN on the whole shinanigan. I tried to ring Kate but she is engaged (probably being taken over by martians right now). So anyway I am going to ring Kate again, but in the mean time I expect you all to RING CHANTAL'S MOBILE PHONE to see if she has been taken over by martians and what's happening

EADGBE

hmmm messenger seems to be bust, which is always annoying, although it does give me a chance to post to my website.

Seems Reading hasn't almost sold out just my amazing source of information was looking at Reading 2001, not 2002. Which was a bit foolish. Anyway it does not matter for me as I am no longer going as I have to save my money for I am attempting to go on this soultime course. Which will require some cash. So unless I A) win a ticket B) someone buys me a ticket or C) Join a band and get asked to play at Reading/Leeds I won't be going. Which is gonna suck. But still it's worth it.

Tomorrow or perhaps even later tonight I will post about Anti-Stress, and possibly my new series of study guides "Letts not revise guides". Untill then though, keep hamsters of railways.

Eeeps

Apparently Reading has almost sold out already. Crikey. Get them while you can

Cold Hands

By request of the fantapulous Cafferine today's post contains nothing about a certain woman. Or a certain search engine.

So yeah me and stoobs and penny just came back from Face off (Local usually terrible indie/metal friday night club thing). Coz easyworld played there and yeah did they rock and stuff. Woohooo. I enjoyed it like nothing i've enjoyed before in Face Off. I got a setlist and half a broken drumstick. It's soo rock and roll. Plus when I asked Dave (the guitarist, what a dude he is indeed) to sign the setlist he couldn't find a pen. So he chewed it a bit. And thjen signed it with some eyeliner

Also Kudos to the support act as the singer dude was wearing a dress for most of it. How bizzare.

In other Face Off news, we met Kate, Lau, Tal, Tim, Katie, and Christine. All of whom where very lovely and Kate and Lau and Tal where very drunk. Although Tal not quite as much. Lastly I met some weird but lovely easyworld stalker girl, who has been to 8 easyworld gigs. She insisted on taking a photo of me too. How weird

Bunk-tastic

In exciting and recent news, I'm now in the top 5 searches for Holly Valance Naked on www.google.co.uk, you can go and check it out yourself if you want

Gwahhahaah

I had lots to write today, but so far have forgotten the large majority of it... I'm sure it will come back to me though

I REMEMBERED! CAPTIALS RULE, ALSO THESE SONGS ROCK MY WORLD, IN NON-CAPITAL FORMAT

1. Crackout: "I am the one". Now that's a lovely record, and soo catchy and rock and roll woohooo
2. Gomez: "ping one down". Mmmmm indie-blues rock tastic
3. Angelica: "liberation is wasted on me". Girl rawkk, and it's sooo great
4. The Chemical Brothers: "The test". oohh so superly trippy
5. G'N'R: "November Rain". Woohoo cheese-tastic super rock
6. Haven: "Til The End". I think I've got the name wrong but it's soo cool, bass tastic
7. Tenacious D: "Tribute". This is the best song in the world right now and I can't believe I forgot it from the list earlier

WELL THAT WILL DO FOR NOW.... MMM ROCKTASTIC

Cleared and sorted and why is Steve Lamacq playing so much dance tonight?

So with my new layout being fiercely debated (is it a goth??), I will write about the current nusicance in my life... stupid flirtacious text messages,

So far I've had two texts, saying something along the lines of "I fancy you (and other such things), I'm to afraid to say it (ya big wuss)" and then they go onto say "to find out who fancies you call this number xxxxxxxxxx (whatever, I've deleted the number anyhoos) calls cost 50p/min lasting 2mins". Now this annoys because, surely if you fancy someone then you will not want them to spend 2quid. So I'm guessing that it's just some annoying spam to my phone. If it's not feel free to tell me, anonymous e-mails are fairly easy to send. And it's actually nigh on impossible to find out who you are if you comment or sign my guestbook...

On a good text note, the cooper temple clause sent me a lovely text message saying how there single is out. Which is nice of them.

In far more important news, I have to decide whether or not I want to do this youthwork gap year in the autumn or in the spring. Erk what to do?

Toodle pip

In case you haven't noticed it's a new website, version 7.51 now. I would brag about it all but In the words of the magnificant Kate "oh Mark your ego is poking me in the eye". So I'll let it speak for itself, except I haven't finished all the updates yet. I blame psychology lessons

Lets clear some stuff up here

Okay, now to clear everything up about the whole Holly Valance Naked thing...

Jonty of Electrichamster fame, tried to start a google bomb for www.inkiboo.com. A google bomb is where everyone links from there site to someone else site and calls the link something random. So the idea is that if everyone links to this www.inkiboo.com site with the words "Holly Valance naked", when you search for Holly Valance Naked on google, www.inkiboo.com will come up as a search result, regardless of whether he has any content of Holly Valance Naked or not.

It's some super nerdy thing to do, you can read about it Here

So anyway this was why had a link called "Holly Valance Naked" in my site. So then the other day I was checking my nedstat counter, which shows how many people have been to my site, and also which link they clicked on to get to my site... and low and behold on google, there's a link to me, if you search for "holly valance naked" (probably coz I wrote so much about it). Anyway this link has now unfortunately scrolled off Google, and I am no longer in the top ten Holly Valance Naked sites. If you want proof you can go here and see my counter showing how people went from google to my site, or ask stoobs who saw the google page.

Well that's that rumour cleared up

Later

Ohh in other news I found an even more freakish photo of Miss Valance, which I have uploaded for you viewing pleasure here

I'll write more about mysterious text messages later

*bing* done!

Today I found out a highly intriguing thing... if you go to Google.co.uk and search for Holly Valance Naked, then my site is number 8 in the list of sites. Go my site!

Also if you search for black rebel motorcycle club mp3's you get my site as well... yay again!

Mostly today I have been going to my friend's Emilys house to go to eat brunch and play rounders as it was her 25th birthday. Among things done where eating lots of food, making fun of american accents (because there where lots of Americans there), and playing rounders

I'm also going to redesign my site, and to do so I really need to find a lovely new picture, but I'm not very good at making them... me thinks this calls for scanning random gubbins in... I like the idea of red too...

In more Holly Valance news, Caff found this photo of her, that is very suspicious as it looks soooo wrong... horribly wrong...

okay update people

it's the famous photo me and faff where talking about

What's wrong with Holly Valance? Is it a fake photo? has her head been put on another body? too much airbrushing? or is she an aline

Bored

I really have to start revising today, I've been bored out of my mind and even Super Mario World on my computer can't entertain me. So I think I will. So this post is short to make me start revising soon, and to bore those reading into doing work which they should do.

Ooh but I did find this...

Grunge Officially sucking thing

which is what we all figured anyway right?

So picking up stuff eh?

Today I will mostly be picking up litter around Sketty for a thing called The Noise I really need to leave the house soon.

I can't really think of nowt to say really today as my mind has gone blank. I really need to do more interesting stuff.

Ohh the Cooper Temple Clause sent me a lovely poster as their single is out on Monday. Hooray for The Cooper Temple Clause!

And finally because Mr. ElectricHamster told me too here is a link that isn't to Holly Valance Naked. It's actually just an cunning plan to make it the number 1 site if you search for Holly Valance Naked on Google.

Well unlike me... this post is going nowhere, I'm going out the door

Good News Everyone

I've just found out some lovely news... you know how ITV Digital had that great monkey that advertised ITV digital like stuff? in a humourous manner? Well apparently in the fight over ITV digitals now dead tv like body (it went bust sometime in the last month) the Monkey did not perish like we all thought it would! It's risen from the ashes like a phoenix style monkey or possibly a monkey style phoenix, to get into a bidding war by lots of other companies over who gets to use him as an tool for advertising. Hooray!!

so in short.. ITV Monkey will return to advertising. GO MONKEY!

So very High Fidelity

Today, in a cheap and easy discount way to post to the web I am going to do top 6 lists... (I'm not sure why top 6 but 5 seems to few) Except you'll find that they are the wrong way around (1-6 instead of 5-1) because I'm not sure how to change it around (Some .css junk no doubt). right so here we go

Top 6 amazing things that happened today

1. I bought a packet of 'extreme sour chewits'
2. I went home early in style (well Jaclyn's car, which is kinda stylish), and picked up seb on the way
3. I found out I have a way of getting to Reading, if I go
4. I amazed thousands with my super card trick of amazingness
5. I got a load of music. The Green album by Weezer off Kate and thousands of Mp3's off Cafferine as I'm backing up her computer for her.
6. And finally... I went round Jaclyn's house this morning for a lift to school, as I do these days. And guess what? There was a massive squirrel stuck to the wall of the house opposite, not moving at all and acting all frozen, and it stayed there for ages, amazing us all. And it was a Red Squirrel, which as everyone knows are by far the best Squirrels

Top 6 un-amazing things that happened

1. Nobody gave me free guitar stuff today
2. I had to lug around a huge zip drive in my bag all day because...
3. ...I told Caff I would help backup her computer because it's bust and it's taking me ages to do and slowing my computer down loads when transferring files making it impossible to use while transferring stuff, and also she's backed up all her Mp3's which means...
4. ...I've got loads of bad Mp3's on my computer (as well as good ones, see point 5 of previous list). Including but not limited to Pearl Jam, Bad Radio, and other such grunge-tastic stuff
5. Seb left me in psychology to sit by Clare, leaving me alone for an entire lesson, a lesson that was BORING AS ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

Yes I know that is only 5 but that's all the bad that happened, hence making today a GOOD DAY

Grrr and Grr again

My site is going very slow today as is Mr. Lardpony's. I reckon it's a problem with easily.co.uk as they host us both. So sorry but it's not my fault, i'm sure it'll be fixed soon coz they are great.

For this reason I'm going to keep this post short. I am listening to the new Easyworld single on Radio 1 right now and it's amazingly great (it's called bleach lets all go download it and then buy it when it comes out). Everyone soo has to come see them on the 10th in face-off. I know Stoobs will like it, and I know Caff will despise it. So it's gotta be good.

Debating Reading, the bands playing have grown on me. If Turin Brakes/gomez/coopers/kinesis play I am soo there
