Staying Alive

That song, apart from being awesome, serves two other purposes. First and foremost, it represents what people in the eastern part of the island are probably trying to do right now, in the midst of all the unrest being caused by the attempted arrest of Dudus. (For those of you who don't know, google Christopher Dudus Coke and Jamaica). Secondly, it represents what I need to do next week, when the bulk of my exams descend upon me. From Tuesday to Friday, I have exams. All long papers. That's Biology, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, all on sequential days. No time to swat during the week. I'm not too worried though.

Thankfully I haven't (entirely) wasted the two weeks I got before these exams. I really feel like I have a lot more Biology in my head at this point in my life than I ever will, including after graduation from medical school. T_T

Bring on the summer!! Now I've gotta go on MSN and have a quick study session with some friends (seriously, studying on instant messenger actually works).

TTFN,
Gavin.

The Coolest Thing Evar!!

Well, CAPE exams have started. Communication Studies went pretty well.Thanks for asking :).

I have Chemistry tomorrow and Physics the day after that. Am I ready?

Yes,I think I am.

In my downtime from studying, I've been scouring blogs. I came found this cool story blog,
The Thousand Chapters of The Writer.

"But sure," you say, "blogs with stories are nothing new. Plus, there are only 2 chapters there so far."

Well yeah, thats true. But the authors are planning ONE THOUSAND chapters. Its worth following even if its just to see how they reach the 1000th chapter. Not counting that, the writing is also pretty snappy. I like it.

Anyway, I can't wait for summer to come. Freedom. And I'll finally get to snag eight hours of sleep. This post may seem rushed, but blah, I am in a hurry.

Oh yeah, did I say I beat Dead Space? The last boss fight is cool, although a bit anti-climactic. I think I'll go through it again to play with my bonuses. I also beat Devil May Cry 4. Maybe I'll go get Devil May Cry 3 now...if my PC can handle it.

Peace Out People,
Gavin

Lilly Allen?!!

Technically, there's nothing wrong with her name upon close inspection, but still, it just sounds wierd. She's not exactly beautiful either, but her songs aren't actually half bad...if you like British accents. Still, the main reason I picked her as the topic of this blog posting is because I saw the video for the song Driving Me Wild with Common, and was immediately impressed. I also listened to Smile. Great. LDN, not all that, but still ain't bad.



Anyway, I studied a little bit more since I have mock exams on Monday. I think I'm pretty well prepared since I've probably been harping on it for the past month.

I've decided to spend half my summer holidays working on the LunaLibs as well as the Lunatek website. The other half should be dedicated to working out, meeting people, screwing around and putting NLP tricks to good use.

TTFN,

YAAAH TRICK YAAAH!

I love that damn video!!!! Most people say Soulja Boy sucks, and I (sorta) agree. But this song is just so positive, and its one of the funniest music videos I've seen for a long time. This time, you just can't hate on Soulja Boy. The part with throw some D's on it was pretty clever, and shows that even if he can't rap, he at least knows his puns :).

I really wouldn't have known about it, if a friend of mine hadn't started saying YAA BITCH YAA! as a response to every question. A typical conversation between us now looks like:

Me : Hey man, whats up? You ok?
Him : YAAAH BITCH YAAAH!
Me : Okay then. Have you seen Clive around?
Him : NAAH BITCH NAAH!
Me : Right. Umm, I'm going to eat lunch now, what do you want on your chicken?
Him : THROW SOME D'S ON THAT!!!
Me : Uh-huh, ketchup it is.
Him : YAAAH BITCH YAAAH!
Me : Someone, please kill me.
Him : YAAAH BITCH YAAAH!
Me : GET OUTTA MY FACE!!!

As for mock exams, the studying isn't going badly. I think I've done a lot of Biology, so now I've just got to get in some Chemistry and English Literature. As usual, Physics and Add Maths are not a problem.

I haven't started work on LunaScene though. Go cry in a dark corner somewhere.

On a more serious note, it seems like Lupe Fiasco might take over Talib's place in the rap game. Check this:



I love the way the vocals of Matthew and Lupe contrast. I want Matthew's voice. It would be so cool...but screw it, you can't always get what you want.

Gavin out. Over.

Fighting My Way Through This Life

Well, Easter Holidays are coming up. The thing is for me, they're not going to be holidays, since I have mock exams coming up after them. I've been studying too much lately, so I decided to frag some punks to take the stress of. Well that didn't seem to work, so I decided to program some stuff. No, the second Python-Irrlicht tutorial isn't ready yet,its a lot of work, and I'm really too lazy.

However, I did do a simple tutorial on Irrlicht-Newton integration. I made a simple demo that has a sphere falling under the influence of gravity, to hit the ground. It teaches the basics of Newton and a little bit of design theory, so grab it.

Also, I hope you've noticed the donate button. Stick your pointer in it and send me some money please lol!!
