Contact lenses and Bolt 3D

Shot of a signpost in Abingdon town centre.

The photo is one I took when I was doing angles and viewpoints as part of my photography lessons. I finally managed to email some of the photos I took to post here when I’m lacking a photo. You guys love my photos it seems.

After having to get other people to put them in for me, I finally managed to put contact lenses in myself. Not panicking is one skill you have to learn to do, just stay calm and allow enough time to fail afew times. The first one I managed to put in my left one had to be took out as I got it too mucky. The right one is always a struggle but I managed it for once. I’m alright about my contact lenses check up appointment now.

Today was good fun. I went to the bus stop waiting for ages for the 35a and it reminded me of how many hours I must of waited for this bus when I went to school. I was about to call my Dad for a lift into Didcot but as I was going down my contact list, the bus arrived. As I got into Didcot, I noticed how much more windy it was and had a look in Next hoping to see one of my sister mates working in there. It seemed not.

After feeling awkward coming out of Next, I went in the direction of the cinema but ended up looking around Broadstreet which is a street mainly fulled with charity shops and more importantly, has a Subway. I glaced at the prices to make sure I have enough money left to have lunch there.

I looked at the time and wondered if the cinema would be open yet but thought I give it another few moments. So I headed to WHSmiths hoping to get a drink. Well that was till I looked at the price which was something like £1.79. I thought to myself this place is going to be next Woolworths disaster if they don’t lower their prices. I ended up getting a drink at Wilkinsons that was a only 89 pence to get the same drink of Diet Coke.

Bolt the Dog (C) Disney animation

It was ten to midday and therefore I thought as Bolt 3D started at ten past that it might be open. I really should of looked at the opening time before walking into the door. That hurt badly and I felt like a idiot. I recovered the situation by looking at the opening times and sighing. What to do for ten minutes I pondered to myself and then thought when I went into Argos with Dan for some reason.

The memory was when I finished my mock GCSE exam and did it in a different room to most of the year that had Dan and MJ among others. I left my phone on their desk as for once handed it over like you meant to but I forgot to pick it up. So I dashed back to the school and then chased back to Dan as I wanted to say goodbye properly. He asked when my bus was and said I could help him look at pool table stuff in the Argos till it came. Anyway back to the post, it ended up that I spent ten minutes acting like I was looking for stuff in Argos as it was warm place to wait.

When Cineworld did open up, I was first in and got my ticket with some rather expensive popcorn. I was expecting some cardboard glasses for the 3D movie however I had some neat ones which look like the safety glasses they have at schools. I rather enjoyed Bolt 3D and the effects was okay. Amazing would be over doing things but I can understand why Disney want the rest of their animations to be in 3D. I say be at least three rows back from the screen to benefit the most.

When I got out, I headed straight to the bus stop to check how long it will take for the bus to arrive. I had enough time to buy a Sub and therefore ate one whilst waiting for the bus. The bus was late but I wasn’t complaining because I had times when it never arrived before. On the way back in bus I saw a nasty crash with a ambulance and police that was sad to see.

Overall I had good time today. I didn’t feel so bad about being alone after all and it felt good that I could feel my independence. I’m hoping to go to gym soon but it all depending if my mom can give me a lift. :|

The replacement laptop charger is arriving tomorrow. Only problem about this is that I won’t be in to collect it from the UPS guy. I like how speedy Dell was on getting it to me but its shame they couldn’t waited to a day to send it. They will try again on Wednesday if I am to believe the email which is good. I don’t know if they looked at the laptop yet but the guy on the phone said it would be back within 4 days which means it will arrive when I’m in Disney. Fantastic, my dad will be too keen and fiddle with it meaning he mess up the first boot setup thing.

ZoomI helped out interviewing a assietent director today which meant I held a Zoom in the middle of the table cause the stand didn’t work. It was for the interview feature of the radio show I shall be doing when I’m back from Disneyland. I’ll need to make sure I’ve done all the paperwork and check with the others.

I am really excited about going to Disneyland Paris now. My bag is all packed with the new clothing I got because the other stuff I already had didn’t have the right pockets to keep my valuables such as my mobile phone or wallet in if I go on a roller-coaster or to keep the pickpockets out. I just hope the weather won’t drench me too much in France though I do realise that it won’t be hot. I love trains (not as sad as a train-spotter), so catching the Eurostar is a whole excitement in it self. :P

Oh, I nearly forgot: Please do the latest poll in the sidebar.. I just wondered how many of my readers are into theme parks.

Mad love for Pepsi Max

Pepsi createI converted into drinking Pepsi Max ever since I started college as I noticed it had QR codes on them. Ever since I noticed this fact I tried collecting each different bottle design as they had artwork from different artist. I failed really badly at this as the college only stocked two of the designs in their shop and venders. I much perfer the taste of Pepsi to anything Coke sells.

If only I was paid to create this post, I was only inspired to post about Pepsi as I got money from parentals to get a create of the stuff from the sad Woolworths closing down sale that is going on. Mad that I paid a whole £18 quid for 24 bottles but I am making a saving somehow as it normally a £1 a bottle in college.

Fox FM 4x4Something have been annoying me.. Seeing this blinking Fox FM land Rover stalking me everywhere I go. Last week on the way of doing some drying with my mom at the laundry, the car was outside what used to be Wiggys World. (I loved the go karts that was in there) And today when I was at Tesco, the blinking thing is outside the place. I think the whole idea of the car is to peskter young kids to start listening to the station so they grow up listening to this so called local station.

In the photo I took you can’t really see it but they have attached these stupid flags to the car which look really out of place on it and odd. i like seeing things neat and this just plainly annoys me..

Old Fox FMThe reason I say so call local station is because apart from the news and the breakfast slot on it, nearly everything else is sourced from its parent network which goes to all of the other so called local stations. The logo is just a template which looks more like the style of what the new Pepsi design looks like than a radio station. I prefer this one, I loved that fox and I was so miffed what they got rid of the poor thing. I blame them fox hunters.

I won’t be too upset when the station gets re-branded to a even more generic ‘Heart Oxford’ as all its proper identity got stripped ages ago which is sad. Saying that I am not a proper expert of Fox FM as my hate of it content has meant that i heavn’t really listened to it much unless its been on in a mates car. I rather opt to KUBE radio as I can keep up to date all stuff Keele, and when on the move Jack FM, sometimes Oxford 107.9 but mostly national BBC Radio 1.
