Grr so my internet has become totally rubbish again. The price is ridiculous per month for a supposed 1mbit line with a 10gb cap, which has spent the majority of the past month (when actually connecting) downloading at 2kb/sec and uploading at 0.5. And the bitch is that since the original company that provided the service is in the process of being taken over, there is no technical support. In fact there hasn't been for the past 3 weeks. And missing a webcam session with my best friend who I may not see for a long time (and haven't physically seen since the end of May) is something that makes me seethe. Oh and the fact that it delays my work since uploading even a 2kb html file becomes a nightmare of read time out and disconnection,
Went to the cinema on Friday with Oliver, Jeremy, Dane, Katie and some other girl whose name I don't know and didn't bother to find out. I'm sure she was nice enough. Saw Wallace and Gromit, Curse of the Were Rabbit which surprisingly came out about 20 days before the UK release. I think it is because they know i'm here. Anyway, it was cute but not to the standard I usually expect. I think it had too much obvious dialogue and i'm wondering if Dreamworks influenced that? Wallace and Gromit is about observational humour, very subtle dry wit. Too much first person narrative, even with the vocal talents of Peter Sallis becomes tedious to listen to, almost cringeworthy. I started to feel that strange out of body feeling, wanting to stand up and point at the screen and yell "what are you doing! SHUT UP!". However the short animation at the start, featuring the madagascar penguins was a work of genius. We were slightly late into the cinema and it had just started but had the whole cinema in stitches.
Oh not that the film was bad. But the bunnies looked odd and it wasn't subtle enough. Plus a bit of a weird plot. Ah but the adult humour was rather excellent. NUN WRESTLING!
We stepped outside of the cinema and talked for about an hour until it started raining and the boys went to skip in the rain. I felt detached at that point, perhaps a mixture of tiredness and stress. But also I worried that if I stayed longer I would end up going to Jeremy's house and having these strange feelings not only for him but for Oliver. I think its that time of the month.
The next day again was another crappy rainy day (although it doesn't compare to today, thank you New Zealand, torrential is an apt word) so I stayed inside and worked on Pete's website. My internet was fluctuating on different degrees of rubbish and after a while I couldn't take any more. I lay down and was drifting in and out of consciousness for a while..when I had one of *those* dreams. Yes you know the ones. The ones that are so realistic that you wake up gasping for air, drenched in sweat with hard nip....okay moving on.
So in a way its hard to believe that it is 18th september already. I thought that the time from now would fly by but i'm missing him more and more already. And thinking of all I have to achieve is weighing me down. How am I going to get a job at my current skill level? I have until the end of next march to turn it all around and be the best..is that even possible? Maybe I should just clean toilets. Would be easier.

i'm looking forward to seeing the new wallace and gromit, but i have to say that i haven't really liked anything as much as creature comforts - that had me laughing out loud in the theater, something i rarely do!
