I just fell asleep for an hour. At work. I tried to read in the bus, didn’t work out, I came to work, and I fell asleep. A friend of mine came over yesterday and I helped her with her mathematics. And I got off early yesterday. Didn’t help me much, I was still only in bed after 1AM. I’m skipping school today as well. I’m just too tired, and I get pissed at the mere thought of having to go. So yeah, I’m not going. Let’s see if I could drag myself to the gym. There’s a Les Mills BodyBalance lesson at 19.15. I doubt it, but miracles do happen. But I’m going tomorrow anyway, so it’s not a huge loss.

I got Harry Potter and the Quidditch World Cup on PS2! I couldn’t resist, and now that I have it, I don’t regret it. It’s the best, and totally entertaining. I’ve already won the house cup with all the houses at Hogwarts, and also the world cup with England. Now I’m playing with the Nordic Team. It’s superfun.

I also bought Blood Canticle by Anne Rice, which I won’t have the time to touch until Christmas holidays, for sure. Then I bought The Alchemist, Lord of the Flies, Master and Margarita, and The Long Ships (it’s original title is Röde Orm, which means Red Snake, which is why I got confused with the name). In Swedish; I need to read for my Swedish class. And I bought a sweater. It’s beige.

Anyway. I flunked my maths test yesterday. I’m pissed, because the teacher gave us exercises for us to do, and I did, and none of the questions in the test had anything to do with the exercises. So I wasted my time reading stuff I didn’t need. And now I have to do it all over again. This is my first course in long mathematics and I go and flunk it. I’m on the verge of self-loathing. Yet I am so unmotivated.

Life sucks, man. I need my playstation. Now.

Life sucks. My computer’s gone again.

I’m having a flu. Mom forced me to go to the doctor (nurse, actually). I said I didn’t want to, I said that it would be a waste of time (bcause they never find anything wrong in me, health wise, that is). I raved for about half an hour to mom because of this. But alas, I went, because mom made me an appointment and was really, really, bitchy about it. And guess what happened when I got there? The nurse looked into my mouth, poked once, and told me to go home and rest. “It’s been going around a lot lately. Nothing serious, if it doesn’t get better in a week, come back and we’ll check again.” HA! I knew it. And mom didn’t listen, and now I’m pissed and tired. And my old computer is really shitty and slow, and is bitching around. I’m surprised it even works.

I’m getting a new bed, though, so not everything is really shitty today. We’re going to buy it this weekend, so I’ll probably get it next week sometime.

My first exam is on Tuesday. English hearing comprehension. Eek.

My Count of Monte Cristo fanlisting is open, it’s called Retribution. ‘Twas Pal’s idea.

Oh yeah, and Anukk is my new affiliate, go check her out if you haven’t already.

I’m almost through The Two Towers (for PS2), which I bought last Saturday. I stopped playing when Legolas kept dying in the second phase of Helm’s Deep. I was getting real good at killing the trolls, but then he went and died by the hand of one of ‘em! So yeah, I’m still pissed. And Aragorn doesn’t get through Orthanc. I suck. But I’ve reached level 10 on all three of ‘em, so I’m feeling a little accomplished. Balin’s tomb was a real bitch for Gimli. But a good place to collect upgrade points is at the Gap of Rohan, the one with the wolves of Isengard. You’ll just parry (square) the big guy (the challenge enemy), and when he rises, you’ll hit him with the death strike, or whatever (just hit the triangle many times. You’ll be able to hit him three times with the double-triangle hit, then you’ll have to parry him). The other wolves you’ll just have to avoid by running around them, then hitting then in the back with the “triangle hit” aswell. Easy points, though I can’t get anything better than “good” there. I’ve got perfect in Fangorn Forest for all three. Whee. Easiest to get through the levels with Legolas and Gimli is to go through the game with Aragorn, and then go on an easy level and collect upgrade points. Then when you’ve got all the upgrades, you’ll go to the tough levels. Great strategy. I wouldn’t have gotten as far if I hadn’t done this. I usually just hit the orcs and uruk-hais by shaking the right analog stick like a maniac. It’s not skill, it’s desperate.

Well, I was late for work today. Overslept by an hour, am still overly exhausted. My head aches. Ah, the pity.
It’s quite quiet in the photobusiness during the summer holidays. People aren’t seemingly in town, so here I am, surfing the internet and writing in my weblog.

I bought Playstation 2 on Monday! This is actually a reason to why I overslept today - I was trying to earn more House points in Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets so I could finish the game without letting Slytherin win the house cup. And I’ve only got about 50 Wizard cards, so…And you’re wondering why I bought a Harry Potter game - I only wanted to know if the graphics are as terrible as in the first game. They aren’t - and though it isn’t much of a challenge to win the villains, it’s quite hard to find the extra stuff. And in flying lessons, I’ve only gone through 87 rings, that’s as much as I can accomplish, nothing past that. (I did win the Quidditch cup though…) Took me a while to get the alohomora spell as well.

Well, I like Playstation. I didn’t even consider buying X-box or Gamecube, I’m way too used to the playstation dualshock thingy. It’s easy to steer the characters, and it fits perfectly into my hands. Whee. A little different, though, from my old Super Nintendo. That was a long time ago…

I still haven’t tried out Crash Bandicoot, the other game I bought. I’m way too busy finishing Harry Potter, but I’ll probably kick into it in the weekend.

Oh, and I also got approved for the Ludo Bagman fanlisting. He was a fun character in GoF, though a little…how should I put it, bastard-ish. Lovely, though. The Fight Club fanlisting is back in action, as well, so I’ve only got to lean back and watch the members roll in. That was a bad joke. But kinda true, though. People seem to like Fight Club as much as I do, which can only be a good thing. Fight Club is a great source of knowledge. Er, yeah.
