Sorry for lack of posts.

I've been losing interest in this blog, to be honest, because nobody ever visits it. Ah, well. Tonight I'm going to a Christmas Light Switchon in St. Andrew's. They make a big deal out of it every year. They string Christmas lights all over the whole town, rows upon rows of them, and neon pictures, etc.

Then they have a big celebration when they turn them on. Then, after that, I'm going to my sister's concert.

Well, there's your update. Ciao!

Domino Day 2007 Videos

I did promise to upload some videos, so here you go. I only uploaded the one. It's on DailyMotion instead of YouTube, because it'd probably be deleted from YouTube. Enjoy!

They didn't break the record.

At Domino Day, every year, they break a record. But not yesterday. The final "Domino Challenge" was failed. Basically, there was a big break in the dominoes done on purpose. Two contestants are chosen from the group of Domino Day operators, and they have to place the dominoes.

Obviously, it's not just placing them - it's harder than that. There is almost always an obstacle. This year?

The last domino challenge, two contents were standing in a clock with moving arms. They had to follow the arms and line up dominoes on them. They kept knocking them over, and they were so close ... and then time ran out.

So they failed. And the huge Domino Day rainbow didn't go.

Domino Day 2007 is going to be shown unedited on five at 14:40 for my fellow Brits, by the way. Watch it and enjoy it.

My new favourite song.

Yeah, like others, my favourite song changes every single day - at the moment it's Head Over Heels, by Tears for Fears. Here are the lyrics;

I wanted to be with you alone,
And talk about the weather.
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face,
Won't escape my attention.
You keep your distance with a system of touchm
And gentle persuasion.
I'm lost in admiration,
could I need you this much?
Oh, you're wasting my time,
You're just wasting time.

Something happens and I'm head over heels,

I never find out, 'till I'm head over heels.
Something happens and I'm head over heels,
Ah, don't take my heart,
Don't break my heart,
Don't throw it away!

I made a fire, and watching it burn,
I thought of your future.
With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambition?
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean air,
And dreaming I'm a doctor,
Its hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand,
Oh I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels,
I never find out, 'till I'm head over heels.
Something happens and I'm head over heels,
Ah, don't take my heart,
Don't break my heart,
Don't throw it away!

And this my four leaf clover,
I'm on the line, one open mind,
This is my four leaf clover ...

Cough ...

Wow, this blog died out hellishly fast. I blame it to lack of reader interest. If only a couple of people visited frequently and perhaps dropped a comment or two, I might decide to post more often.

Wink wink, nudge nudge. I swear, this hint is as least subtle as I can do.

LEAVE COMMENTS PLEASE D:

Hello again.

Yeah, I don't really have much to blog about today - no surprise, it's only 11am. My mother almost crashed the car earlier today. Thankfully I escaped injury.

Well, that's all. Ciao!

Halloween and fire alarms!

NOTICE: This post does NOT contain any Harry Potter spoilers. It's perfectly safe to read!

First of all, I just want to say to all of you folks; I hope you had a nice All Hallow's Eve yesterday! My local Cineworld was rerunning the 1958 Dracula in celebration, but sadly I was busy and didn't get to see it.

And, of course, All Hallow's Day today! I hope you haven't forgotten. Yesterday was the eve of it, you know. The head of the senior school had a lengthly speech this morning regarding this day, although he somehow got onto the subject of Harry Potter, and couldn't help spoiling the ending to many startled, horrified gasps.

I'd point out some of the worst things he mentioned, but I don't want to spoil folks myself.

Anyway, off the subject of Halloween, and onto the briefly mentioned fire alarms. I was ushered out of the central dining room this morning due to the fire alarm in St Rule (a boarding house) going off. Everybody had to be evacuated from the canteen and St Rule, and stand in the cold for twenty minutes to be registered.

Thankfully, it seems that, if there was any fire at all, it was contained, and nothing got to the canteen, so we were allowed back in and we feasted.

Well, that's all for now. I guess I'll talk to you another time. Ciao!
