One minute I was fine, the next I was lying on the bathroom floor with my head hanging over the toilet vomiting my guts up (as well as undigested carrots, but thats TMI!).
It all started when I was lying in bed, I felt my stomach becoming really tight and then cramps started. I felt like I was going to be sick so I went to the bathroom and basically just coughed and my liquid insides decided to jump outta me. Woah it was fast, but after vomiting I felt a little better so I just sat on the bathroom floor for a while just until I felt normal again but oh no… 3 more times went by and my head was spinning.
I headed back to bed and collapsed and before I knew it, I was getting woken up by my mother 5 hours later to go run an errand for her, but all I wanted to do was stay in bed! I went out walking slowly looking like a bus just hit me and did what she wanted, now I’m back in bed still feeling pretty ill and made the decision to stay in bed all day watching movies.

I got a letter last week to inform me that my name has been selected for potential jury service and I’m pissed! Ever since I came back to the UK to study, I made an effort not to sign up to vote (because it’s pointless since all governments fuck up) thus staying under the radar from anything related to governmental duties.
However, when I moved into my apartment, I started getting junk mail through the door and my mom decided to register me to vote WITHOUT telling me. Now, in the UK once you register to vote that creates all this other stuff to happen, like frikin JURY DUTY! I now NEED to sign this form I got and there is no way I can get outta Jury Duty unless I’m a convicted felon, a drug addict, a mental nutcase (hmm maybe?!) or over 65 *sigh*
If my name gets picked outta the hat and I have to go to court, I better get something juicy like a murder or something not some stupid teenager who shoplifted and waste my time! They have two years in which the court can use and abuse me if my name is pulled out of the list and I’m hoping it won’t be!

Staring Morgan Freeman & Jack Nicolson, The Bucket List tells the story of two terminally ill cancer patients who decide to break out of the hospital and live their last days to the fullest. Edward Cole (Nicholson) is a corporate billionaire who is currently sharing a hospital room with blue-collar mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman). Though initially the pair seems to have nothing in common, conversation gradually reveals that both men have a long list of goals they wish to accomplish before they kick the bucket, and an unrealized desire to discover what kind of men they really are.
With a checklist that includes playing the poker tables in Monte Carlo, consuming copious amounts of caviar, racing the fastest machines on four wheels, and much more, these two terminally ill men will do their best to fit a lifetime of experience into their last remaining days while forging an unlikely, but truly remarkable, friendship.
View the trailer:
This movie was extremely entertaining telling the story of 2 men who became freinds under the worst circumstances and learnt so much from eachother. I couldn’t stop laughing in areas, then the next thing you know the movie becomes sad and you can’t help but feel sorry for the characters. Both Jack Nicolson & Morgan Freeman fitted the roles well and show just what amazing actors they truly are!
It’s a must-see movie & currently the #1 movie in the US Box Office.

Coming home from my grandfather’s house yesterday was an experience I shall never forget & I’m thankful I’m still alive to write this! I got on the bus with my little suitcase at the same time the local high school nearby was finishing for the day, so naturally the bus was really busy, plus there was a group of about 10 old ladies (hence forth known as grannies). You couldn’t move on the bus so I had to stand up, along with around 9 other people and these 4 school kids were blocking the place where you store your luggage so I asked them to move for a minute so I could put it there. Everything was fine until the bus driver started moving off again and god damn he was an idiot!
He turned corners like he was part of Formula 1 (that or he had ants in his pants!) and he wouldn’t slow down. The little bell people press to get off was ringing like crazy and slowly the school kids were getting off. The driver seemed to be pissed at the fact he actually had to stop to let people off! He flew next to the bus stops then pushed on the breaks so hard that everyone was flying everywhere! I nearly fell down several times and was holding on for dear life, the poor old grannies rang the bell to stop and once again he screamed on the brakes and these old grannies were falling all over the place and had to get helped up. The driver didn’t even bother to wait a few minutes after they were off the bus, as soon as the last little old granny put her foot on the curbside, the driver closed the doors and sped up again with the rest of the passengers having to endure more of him!
More corners came, the faster he seemed to get! I finally managed to get a seat and started smsing my friends to tell them what was doing on, I head butted myself on the railings a few times due to the idiot as well as nearly falling out of the chair at one corner! Seriously dude was crazy!
A gang of teenagers came on the bus and started screaming being all “teenage like” so the driver then felt hell bent on trying to kill us all and sped up more and more and even went through a RED LIGHT! I put on my iPod to try calm me down and listened to T-Pain and Kanye West really really loud to block out those idiots then my iPod runs out of batteries- damn it!.
A few more smses later detailing my ordeal & I hear one of the guys at the back of the bus scream “OMG HE’S GETTING A BLOW JOB” and I’m thinking to myself don’t look back, don’t look back and I wonder when I’ll be back in the comfort of my own apartment! Eventually those idiots got off, still no word on if he really did get a blow job at the back of the bus but I didn’t really want to imagine that ugh!
More people got off the bus and soon I was the last man woman standing sitting and it was my time to get off at the very last stop. I got the hell outta the bus and made sure I never saw him again (well I need to figure that bit out!)

Steve Jobs just introduced the company’s new MacBook Air computer, calling it the “world’s thinnest notebook.” Closed, at its thickest point, it’s about three-quarters of an inch thick, according to a diagram the Apple CEO showed. At its thinnest point, it’s about 0.16 inches, the company says. The announcement confirms the persistent rumors leading up to today’s Macworld Expo keynote. Jobs says will cost from $1,799 and will be available in two weeks.
Technical specs
• .16 to .75-inch thickness on top
• 3 pounds
• 5 hours of battery life with everything running
• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor at 1.6 or 1.8GHz, motherboard the length of a pencil
• 13.3-inch screen, LED backlit.
• 2GB RAM standard
• 1.8-inch 80GB HD or 64GB HD.
• Multitouch trackpad with gestures. Pans, zooms, rotates, etc.
• 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1
• Optional external HD for $99, USB-bus powered.
• Full backlit keyboard
Note: There is no capability to play CD/DVD’s on the actual laptop, therefore the MacBook Air SuperDrive will need to be purchased for $99 to be able to use externally.
Overall, the new look is hot. The only thing I see wrong with it is the inability to play CD/DVD’s from the actual laptop, but that’s the price you have to pay for being thin!

My sleep pattern is all over the place and for once, I actually slept rather early than normal *cough* 3:30am but was woken at 8am by some annoying workmen and a huge drill right outside my bedroom.
I put my head under the covers but could still hear the drill. Why the hell would workmen drill a hole in the road on a frikin Sunday morning? It’s supposed to be like a day of rest- and I needed it!
So after 30 mins of hearing a drill and wondering when it was ever going to stop, I remembered my mom bought my dad this snoring kit as a joke for Christmas and he left it here. In the kit, there were a pair of ear plugs so I decided to stick them in my ears and voila, I couldn’t hear a thing- well I could hear me breathing!.
I went back to bed and slept like a baby, and woke up at 3pm… over slept, maybe?
