Slum Life

Hello friends.

So as I mentioned in my last post, I am now living with my mom. But fortunately, i got paid on Saturday, so I’ve booked the ferry tickets to see +Tracey Ryan. And I damn well can’t wait to get out of here. It’s been horrible.

  • There’s no working vacuums
  • The hot water takes ages to warm up
  • Most parts of the house don’t have a carpet
  • You have to put money in the TV to watch it. Luckily i have my TV
  • Nail clippers are very hard to find
  • My bedroom (which used to be my half sister’s, so is pink and has glow in the dark fairies on the wall) is full of my sister’s stuff. When i first got here, it had loads of junk, most of which was moved into the attic or thrown out. There’s still some junk in there now
  • No-one opens the curtains. I have to do it
  • No-one closes doors behind them. I have to do it
  • No-one does the washing up. It’s always “someone else’s turn”. I usually end up doing it
  • There’s junk everywhere. Even before i brought my stuff here
  • Pretty much everything is dirty. I’m literally scared to walk around in bare feet. I’m always in my slippers
  • My half sister is a lazy, stupid, uncaring git who only gives a damn about herself and whatever boyfriend she happens to be with at the time
  • There’s always stuff left around the floor for people to trip over. Mostly left by my sister
  • When people finish off a toilet paper roll, no-one changes it. I have to
  • There’s no space for my few toiletries (razors and the like). They have LOADS of it
  • They’re both female smokers. They are constantly coughing. Especially mom with her “chest infection”

That’s all I can think of right now, but I’m sure there’s more i haven’t thought of. I might add more later.

For a while there was no internet, but being the genius I am, i used a SIM that my mom uses in a “broadband” dongle, and put it in my phone and used it as a wi-fi hotspot, so now we all have internet instead of just one computer. Although obviously it’s slow. And signal is usually quite bad, and sometimes didn’t work at all. Another problem with the T-mobile/EE SIM is that they block content which they deem “adult”, and when you go over the unfair fair usage policy (which isn’t much), they also stop you watching YouTube, even when the videos are embedded on a website or something. Chances are, if you use YouTube a lot, you’re going to get through that fair use policy very quickly.

I also didn’t have any internet on my phone because I’ve used it all and it doesn’t get renewed until 4th November. So for several days

Because of the lack of internet, I wasn’t able to do much for job searching. I told them that at the job centre and they seemed to let me off. Especially since it’s their fault. But eventually they paid me, and now i have a decent amount of money (for now). I’m going to try not to spend too much of it. I might buy a PlayStation Vita when the knobcentre pays me again on Monday, but other than that, not much else.

On an unrelated note, this my my 50th post. I think I’ve done pretty well. I’ve got over 13,700 views. To other people, that may not seem a lot, but it is to me. I’m sure there’s more popular blogs out there by normal people like me, but ah well. I do seem to be getting several views every day. It’s pretty consistent actually. Just today I’ve had 8, and yesterday I had 7. Last month i had 354!

I did have my stats displayed here, but they don’t display anymore, probably because i closed my Blogger account after this was originally posted. so i removed the stats.

Anyway, that’s all for now. Next time i blog, I’ll be living in Ireland with my girlfriend. Until then, chums. Toodles

Computer Building Update

Hello my pretties. I thought i would update you with how my computer building is going.

Not so long ago i bought a CPU fan and thermal paste from good old eBay. Oh eBay, what would i do without you? Then a couple of weeks ago i got a processor. Now, the processors i want are generally around £300 for a 3ghz quad core. I managed to get one off Amazon for… an amazing £150. Yep. Half the normal price. I was surprised to find it. so i’ve fitted everything in.

There’s just a couple more parts i want. A better power supply and a graphics card, the ATI Radeon HD 6850, since it has excellent performance for its price. I won’t be getting it this month since i literally have -£1 in my bank, so i’ll get it next month.

I can probably get by with the power supply it has, but i really need the graphics card soon to get it at least functioning. I also want a few more 2gb RAM sticks.

On another note, I’ve been watching a lot of things on Netflix recently. Especially Knight Rider. I hope they bring Airwolf back as well, i used to love that. And my amazing girlfriend Tracey showed me a show called the 4400, so i started watching that as well. It’s freaking awesome. It’s like a mix between Smallville and the X-files (even with new Mulder and Scully types).

And finally, I have now hit over 5000 views on my blog. Good work peeps. Get recommending it to people you know. Share it and stuff. And go read my girlfriend’s blog as well here.

One thing i’ve just noticed is that my previous blog is in the top 5 viewed posts. That’s weird. What did i put in that to make it so popular in such a short amount of time? Maybe i should start putting topless girls in here to make it even more popular.

My stats. 5000 views and latest post becoming popular

54 views in less than 2 weeks. That’s pretty damn impressive, even if i do say so myself. Maybe someone is interested in what i do. Maybe someone is interested in building a computer as well. Maybe my old best friend is showing all her family and friends my post, badmouthing me. That’s what she does. Gets everyone involved.

Anyway, enough about her. I’m off to play some more Battlefield 3. Toodle pip, old chap!

Pictures

Well hello there.

I’ve noticed something about my blog stats. The most popular of my blogs have pictures. So i’m going to try to put pictures on all or most of my blog posts. at least loosely related to what i’m talking about.

I’m also aiming to do about one post every week or so. Although to be fair, it has been 2 weeks since my last one. I do what i can though.

I think that’s pretty much all i wanted to talk about for now. If anyone wants to know, i currently have about 2440 views on my blog.

Oh, one more thing. I want as many readers as possible to comment on here and tell me where they found out about my blog. That’s all. It isn’t a lot to ask. Everyone seems to be blatantly ignoring what i ask though, so i don’t know why i bother really.

So here’s a fast car for you. It’s an Arial Atom. It’s very fast and light. And i want it:
