Comedy and Fun

So for the past few hours I’ve been on a bit of a comedy buzz. No reason, i just like it. It’s obviously funny. So far I’ve watched some clips of Top Gear. Always funny. Them idiots, especially Clarkson. What else? I’ve seen the roasting of David Hasselhoff. That was funny. Just celebrities abusing each other basically. There’s a William Shatner one i wanna watch. Now I’m watching Jim Carrey live in 1991. Hilarious. And i don’t mean that sarcastically. It really is. With his rubber face. Oh man, classic. Now time for some Rowan Atkinson

Also, Tracey had been here for a couple of weeks up until a few days ago. We had an amazing time. It was a lot of fun. Lots of games, lots of films, mainly the Karate Kid films, lots of sex. Bit of shopping. Lots of pizza. I’m definitely going to move in with her.  I just need to arrange an international mover. I wanna get out of here as soon as possible and move in with my perfect partner.

Today and yesterday I went on a short course to help with making a professional looking CV. (That’s a resume to you Americans). It was pretty interesting. But it could have been made a lot shorter (the course, not my CV. That needs to be longer). It was really stretched out. He could have just just gave us a booklet and that’s it. But he had to make us work in groups didn’t he. I hate that. But it did have a bit of useful information. There was good funny people there that made it better. I’m still unemployed by the way

My phone fell off the bed the other day and i pulled it up by the USB cable because it was charging off my laptop and my laptop was close. I think pulling it up by the cable may have damaged the phone or the cable. Why does this always happen to me? The next phone I get won’t be charged by micro USB. It’s just too easy to damage. I want some larger, stronger proprietary connection, like what the Galaxy Note 2 and Asus Transformer has. I’m getting very annoyed at the reliability of the Galaxy Note.

Oh, one more quick thing. Google sent me something saying if i spend £25 within a month on advertising, they’d give me another £75. So I spent £25 in about a week. And they gave me the £75. So now I’m getting quite a bit more views on my blog and YouTube. Oh my God, I’ve just realised I have over 9000 views, i can finally say “IT’S OVER 9000!!!!”, and it’d be true. I don’t like advertising. But I’m glad I’m paying a bit to have adverts show my stuff. It’s earned me a good few views. Thanks Google. Always been a big fan. Employ me. Woah, who said that?

Anyway that’s all for now. I’m getting in bed before i get attacked by moths. Toodles

Computer Building

Warning: Geek talk is contained in this blog

As you probably guessed by the title of the post, I have started building my own computer. I want to get more into PC gaming and video editing (remember the green screen I bought?)

So it started on Facebook when I saw someone selling a computer for £10. I wanted it, thinking I could take out the motherboard and maybe use some of the parts and replace anything I don’t want. Someone else wanted it as well, but I said I’d give them £20 if they delivered it. And they did.

So I got a huge ATX form computer. First thing I did was open it up and see what was in it. Pretty basic stuff. 512mb of ram, 128mb graphics card, and a fairly decent 2.8ghz single core processor, which was better than I expected, and as fast as you can get on that mobo.

It only has an AGP slot though, I want a PCI-Express slot naturally, for a shiny graphics card. It has plenty of PCI slots. It did have a wifi card though, so I yoinked that for my new motherboard. Although it doesn’t have an antenna. Hopefully it’ll still work without it since the wireless router is just a couple of feet away.

So here’s what I want the specs to be:

At least 2.8ghz dual core, preferably quad
At least 8gb of ram
Nvidia graphics card with at least 1gb of graphics memory
About a 32gb solid state hard drive to install windows and ubuntu on, for quick start up times
At least 500gb, maybe 750gb 7200rpm SATA hard drive (it came with a 250gb IDE drive)

I bought a new motherboard, an Asus something, it fit in beautifully. I should have researched memory more though, and got one with DDR3 , the one I got is DDR2. Apparently DDR3 is cheaper and faster. Just how I like my women. Anyway I’m stuck with DDR2. It can take quad core processors though, which is what I want. So I’ve been looking for some good (but fairly cheap) memory and processors. I keep getting outbidded on ebay though. I’ll let ya know how it goes. Might add a picture of it later. The chassis isn’t too impressive to be honest, but i’m going to turn it into a beast

Holiday

Tomorrow, I’m going on holiday with my sexy Irish girlfriend Tracey, and my best friend Andrea and her husband Billy from America. I’ve got most of my stuff packed, I’m just sitting here with a giant sized mug of tea:

Worlds Biggest Mug. Me

The hand is for size comparison. I would use a normal sized mug but i don’t have one easily accessible. It’s taking ages to drink.

Anyways, I’ll be taking my PS3 and my Asus Transformer. And my laptop. And my PSP. Good job i still have that big blue suitcase thing that my aunt gave me when i went to America. Although I’m sure i will be entertained plenty at night, if ya know what i mean ;D

So it’s going to be loads of sexy fun. It’s a long journey from Birmingham. I think about a 4 hour drive. One thing i worry about is the beach. Well to be more specific, the sea. I don’t mind getting in water, I’m not afraid of it or anything. I just don’t like to be topless. If you saw my body, you’d know why. I look pregnant. Maybe i should get a mankini. I suppose i better pack swimming shorts.

I’ll let you know what happens there after we come back. Obviously i can’t see the future. Oh and the song “Holiday” by Madonna is stuck in my head. Thanks Tracey. ALE ALEJANDRO! 😀 She knows what i mean.

Oh and on another note, I’ve hit over 3000 views now. Well done you, pat on the back. Oh and if you haven’t already, vote on the poll. There’s 10 days left to vote on it. It’s pretty geeky.

I’ve just realised i haven’t said where I’m going on holiday. It’s Lizard Point in Cornwall. Come over and visit us. We’ll be there a week. We clearly have plenty of entertainment. See ya in a week
