Summer is Here

I can see the joy on all your faces.

The Tree of Eternal Wisdom has grown a incredibly large amount of leaves in an incredibly short of time because it wanted to. It can do that, see. Someone has also put up a few Christmas decorations, which I'm sure you all just love. What a wonderful tree.

Anyway, the exams are over, school is a bludge, Christmas is coming round and everyone has given up at trying at anything (even me with this blog). TV has gone downhill since the ratings period ended (except for The Office; that was a good move), and all the ads are incredibly terrible. Especially BCF. I hate BCF. Fuck off, BCF. It has made the list of places/products/services which I'll never go to/buy/employ the use of because of terrible ads. Rivers is another one. As is Continental cup-a-soups.

A quick Google search reveals that other people on the internet share my views. One person summed it up nicely:

Haha – aren't they classic. I think by targeting various smaller groups (and some larger like the HT lovers here) they have collectively alienated their entire customer base.

There is even a Facebook group on the matter. Although it only has 41 fans.

I put up the Christmas decorations today, all by myself (aren't I special!?). We haven't got a Christmas tree yet, though. Everywhere seems to think that if you buy one now IT WILL DIE. Whereas if you buy next Wednesday (when they're getting their stock of trees in), it'll be fine. I do not follow this logic. Apart from that, everything is looking pretty Christmassy, and I'll be taking some photos with my wonderful DSLR for you ALL to enjoy. Soon enough.

Today was a super exciting day: things started well with Christmas shopping (I managed to find one present!), then I got a haircut (I didn't really get as much cut off as I'd wanted), then I was lucky enough to go to the Mirador Christmas Party, which was rocking. Lots of drugs for all the old people there. Good  for them.

I am sure you are all super keen to hear Part Three is the series surrounding the adventures of my knee, which was promised to arrive on December 3rd. Well, basically, mum said that it's not going to warrant surgery, so there's no point going to see a surgeon. I was rather disappointed.

Anyway, that about sums things up for now. The skies outside are dark; I am hoping for much rain. Hope with me. Oh, the countdown has also begun to Project 365. How exciting. I'll have to design a nice background for that blog, too.

In memory of the wondrous art of pre-emptive gluing,
Nick.
