i should update

firstly, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/7092381.stm

this made me feel really sick. she kills an 11 month old baby, pleads not guilty and then gets found guilty- and she only gets jailed for three years? you don’t shake a baby!

i saw a horrendous example of parenting the other night at work. this guy was walking around with his kid, looking for stuff- and the little boy (who must have been about 6) picked up a loaf of bread. the guy then shouted “PUT IT DOWN” and i mean fully SHOUTED as loud as he could, so that the whole store could hear. every time the kid did anything- walked a couple of meters away to look at something, went to touch something, he just got shouted at. and it was a pretty big guy too, i would have been terrified. he was maybe in his late 30s? some people shouldn’t be allowed to have kids.

anyhow, my apologies for not updating for a few days. not that anyone reads this, anyway. i just haven’t had a lot to write about i guess.

i went to the doctor’s the other day. my sleep improved over the weekend but it’s decided to be shit again. they didn’t give me any meds or anything because it’s ‘just a phase’ and they’re ‘reluctant to give sleeping pills to people as young as me’. they’ve confirmed that it’s stress related though, which is weird.

i’ve been to every single lesson for  seven days of college now. this feels good. i’m getting (some) work done and my parents like me a little more now, too. hopefully i can keep this up- even after this week, when the bet finishes.

recently i’ve been playing a lot of half-life 2 (over and over again). it really is the best first person shooter of all time. i want to play episodes one and two now…i might get the orange box sometime. i want to play guild wars again but i’m finding it hard to get into, even now that everyone else is playing.

does anyone know where i can watch series one, episode 3 of LOST online? i watched the first two last night and they were really good (i’d never seen any of it before in my life and didn’t really know what it was about), and i’d like to see the rest. i had a link last night but my divx wasn’t working on the pc i was, and now the link seems to be down. if anyone could help that’d be great.

on saturday, i’m going to town with my girlfriend and we’re going to watch a movie. i don’t know which one though! we’ve narrowed it down to these three, and can’t decide:

stardust
pros- seems less ACTION ACTION
cons- biggest chance of being gay

30 days of night
pros- it’s 30 days of fucking night
cons- said to be not very good (but that might be a good thing? i dunno)

beowulf
pros- angelina jolie’s boobs, 3d
cons- no nipples

to be honest i’ll probably enjoy whatever we see but we’re both crap at decision making and i really don’t know what to choose. so if anyone that knows anything about movies could help then that’d be good too.

earlier on tonight i watched Louis and The Nazis, which was really good. i love documentaries and i really really like louis theroux. i’d definitely recomend it.

i’m listening to head automatica. i love that sort of dance-rock kind of thing. i wish i could dress in lots of shirts and stuff and look like i’m in that sort of band. i want some skinnyish straight leg pinstripe trousers that fit really well, and a blazer jacket thing. and a sweatervest for some reason but that’s because i want to look like the guy from revenge of the nerds. with a little bow tie and everything.
