Rocky 9ish mb, Worth the watch.

Found the music from the Fantastic Four trailer, its “Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums” by A perfect circle.

Never heard of them before but I’ll be buying this album, this track is too damn cool.

For a very long time now, sunday has been the day I check a few sites for new movie trailers, I love trailers they can make even the worst films look good :D.

This week i noticed :

Mr. & Mrs Smith Qt trailer
Appleseed Qt trailer
fantastic four, if only for the music on the trailer Qt trailer

For the last 2 years, this has been my favorite song, amazing how you can never listen to something properly for so long…..

Hey, kids, rock and roll. That’s
How I lost control
Hey, kids, go get high. I
can’t remember why
Up all night - I waste my time
I am fine but a day behind
Up all night feelin’ stupid & happy
but the days are overlapping

Get up, get up, get up
Get up in the morning
All the things I do that you
Tell me not to
Try walkin’ in my shoes but you
stumble don’t you? 4-5-6 am I’m
up all night again.
I’d start a revolution if
I could get up in the morning.

- Aimee Allen, Revolution

Just finished watching the last episode of babylon 5 on dvd, it was an amazing show. Haven’t seen the last episode for 6 years ago or so and its still so strong. While jms dialogue did get a bit clunky at times the themes and stories in his great experiment are still astonishing and he really managed to pull of something amazing with the final episode. So yeah, if you like good drama on an epic scale watch babylon 5, and watch it in order, and if you have seen it. Watch it again.

So yeah, a week with no updates. Last weekend was great, my birthday was much better than i imagined and I am now offically 30 years old. The week, well that had ups and downs, but basically my mind has been far from this log.

I’ve finally heard from the Driving Standards Agency about my inital application for the register of Approved Driving Instructors and it turns out that now I have to send them the fee and a date when I want the theory test. Luckily theres an ASAP box to tick.

So once I get through the theory test theres the practical driving test, and then the Instruction test, the practical driving is supposed to be hard, but the instruction is the one thats really hard. Basically you have to teach the examiner to drive, for half the test they are a complete new starter for the other someone with some skills. I imagine its going to be an interesting experience. First things first though, I have a multiple choice theory to get through.

I love this -> Skype. Its great really is, just downloaded it, installed it, set up an account and it WORKED, you know, like you imagine things do or like you see in films or adverts. Sound quality is better than a phone, although it did cut out a little, but yeah if you want voip then this seems to have the knees of bees.

I need to get out of the house, it drives me mad, I’m supposed to spend my days studying for my exam and taking hazard perception, but all I end up doing is daydream… need to get a grip. Now this cold has arrived, great thats fab.. sheesh. No way a stopping distance is going to stay in my sieve-like with me doped up on daynurse.

Find it so hard to focus, to see the end of the road - me in my car, teaching people to drive, thats the aim and I CAN do it, just got to get myself focused, HAH five years and counting.

Maybe I should start writing again, anything to be productive, at the same time my current writing seems to be going down well.. but the audience consists of one and is biased.

LOL, maybe its time for some nurdy-butch romantic fiction. Make some good use of my wonderful muse.

I have found a cold, if the owner would like it back, its a big one with a red nose and answers to the name “argh”.

Yes indeed, I’ve set up base camp at the bottom of Mount Talpa and am preparing for my ascent….
