Two weeks ago I went on a German exchange trip. It was the third time I’d been on this trip because it’s really fun. This was the first half of the trip, so the Germans came over here for a week, staying at my house on the last night. In October (I think) We go to Frankfurt am Main. There are multiple Frankfurts, with different rivers going through them (the river Main being one of them).
The three Germans assigned to be my partners were Martin, Micah and Samantha. Martin was 18, Micah and Sam were 17 and they were really cool. Normally I got assigned 12 year-olds, but I was the oldest ‘English’ person on the trip apart from the teachers, so I became a helper. I just had to do head counts and make sure people didn’t mess around. That’s what my partners were doing on the trip, so I was assigned them.
Throughout the week we went to the National Sealife Center, my school (we did karate workshops and a tour of the school), Black Country Living Museum and we went to the town hall and met the Lord Mayor. The current one is the third Pakistani Lord Mayor, so that was cool. We were given soda water, orange juice, tea and sandwiches. How very English of us.
At my place we had Indian takeaway for dinner and played cards until the early hours. It was a game my parents and I had never heard of, Micah had brought it along with her. It’s called Phase 10 and we liked it so much, we ordered it from Amazon immediately. Eventually we all got too tired to play properly so my parents, Juliet who was playing with us, and the girls went to bed. Martin and I went on the computer and watched Batman Begins. We fell asleep about half an hour from the end. Our plan was to watch that, then Donnie Darko, then Transformers and Forrest Gump. Wake everyone up at about 8, have breakfast and go to the airport. Oh well…

I finally got to see War with Jet Li and Jason Statham. An awesome film, but not very sense-making. I doubt it’s like Donnie Darko, where it actually IS sense-making, but you just haven’t figured that out yet.

Flock is my new favourite web browser. It’s neat, pretty, elegant and handy. It’s like Firefox with a utility belt.
“Flock is a consumer Internet business which has developed a free, next generation web browser. The web, and the way people engage online, has evolved dramatically over the past decade. But web browsers - the application that fundamentally enables online experiences and services across ones’ connected life - have not kept pace.
My Sad Addiction to Batman November 22, 2007 · Filed Under Download, Movies, awesome, insociability, me · 2 Comments
Batman rocks. There, I’ve said it. Batman rules. This is my opinion. He is the coolest comic book character that DC have ever created - second to Lobo.
Lately my best friend, Ethan and I have been watching ‘The Batman’ (Best animation of Batman I’ve seen yet). We’ve watched all of season one, and are trying to find season two. Whilst doing that we have watched ‘Batman and Robin’ and ‘Subzero’ (The animated version of ‘Batman and Robin’ that makes Alfred look French).
My Second Life as Ecko Brown November 13, 2007 · Filed Under Download, Games, awesome, me · Comment
I have recently started playing Second Life again. I had an account ages ago called Ecko Brown, so I just started playing that again.
That’s my avatar (in-game representation of myself) on the right. Not a great picture, but I’m not exactly a whiz on the screen capture tool in SL yet.
The main features of SL are: Chatting to other people from all over the world (mostly America), creating objects using primitive shapes (or prims) like squares, triangles, cylinders e.t.c. You can also create scripts to make your objects do things, like talk, move, or change how your avatar moves.
Death Worm October 2, 2007 · Filed Under Download, Games, awesome · Comment
I have recently discovered a new, free game. You play as Death Worm and have to eat animals and people, whilst dodging bullets, mines, electricity radius things, bombs, tanks e.t.c… it gets increasingly hard.
