I finally got around to getting a new mobile phone, after saying I want a new one for a while. Unusually for me on a purchase that is quite serious I just did some research, found a phone that fit my needs very well at a great price and then went into the shop and bought it…simple. I got a Motorola L6, it has all the features I was really looking for, camera, bluetooth and the like. No support for playing music but having a 30GB iPod its really not necessary for me to have a phone that can play music as well. My buying the phone also influenced one of my friends into hurrying ahead and getting a new phone – the same one as mine. I imagine my other best friends will go and get new phones soon too, we won’t really have that much use for them but I felt it really was time for a new one given the complete crappiness of the last.
On a more unpleasant note I have a lot of coursework to be getting on with, three physics pieces and a nice 2000 word essay on power in King Lear. In theory that’s what I’m going to go and do now but I’m not sure how close theory and practice will be together…we’ll see.

I really enjoyed the first one from this guy, really great tower defence game and I think he’s done it again. This new one has a different idea, with the creeps having no target to get to but you have to stop them from overrunning the area by keeping their numbers below 100. I got to like level 52, nothing special really. You can play it here.
I wonder which is worse March 11, 2007

It seems like forever that I have seemed to be wish to be part of a bigger group of friends and to have more of a normal teenage existence but then reading bits and pieces on the internet and hearing people talk about all the trouble they have has got to make me wonder if its worth it. Is the happiness gained from this really worth the pain of it when things go wrong, I guess I have somehow skipped that (at least for a few years) by being part of such a small and solid group. I wonder if anyone is on the other side wishing they were part of what I am, probably not… I might go into more detail about what I mean at some point in the future, I dunno yet.
Perhaps the greatest actual part of it is the experience, its all very well being numbed from the pain of life, numbed into an existence that lacks any real depth but that’s not really what I want. It must be a part of being human, to ride the waves of life. Ah, shouldn’t think about it too much as its never going to change things by just pondering over them but this is one of those things I think about which really makes me wonder and I just have no idea, I really am just the observer.

This is essentially useless, pointless drivel. No one is going to read it now are they? No. Even if in some distant future someone does read this blog it’s not like this first post in a distant and far off land will be of any interest to them whatsoever. So there we go, its really just so I can test things out on this pointless waste of web space.
