One day I'll figure out how to put interesting titles on these things.
I managed to burn my arm two days ago. Something that I'm (playfully) blaming my mother for, since she distracted me by yelling at me while I was trying to close the oven door with my foot and I touched the baking tray I'd just taken out to my forearm, giving me this;
Isn't that lovely. It only came up like that after about half an hour and it looks about the same now except not as swollen, but knowing how easily I scar, that's going to be one. Ah well, they do say things like this build character. Scars aren't that bad, sometimes. It doesn't sting any more at least, and I doubt it's going to scab up like mum thinks it is. It's just a blemish. o3o
In other news, I finished Alice: Madness Returns. I can definitely say it's an enjoyable game and definitely one for people who enjoy games with collectibles and occasionally frustrating, difficultly timed puzzles involving lateral thinking. It's quite short, but very interesting, and I'll probably play it again when enough time has passed that I don't remember every tiny thing that happened.
Since I finished it I've been watching Stargate SG-1. I'm now on the sixth season after covering about a season per day, and suddenly everything I didn't understand when I was at dad's because we started watching it in the middle of the seventh season is suddenly making sense. I'm probably missing a few things because of how I'm half using it for background noise but I'm getting the important parts.
My Xbox does a weird thing. When it's disconnected from Xbox LIVE (but I'm signed into my account) and I'm watching a DVD, it starts to lag. Not terribly, and it doesn't affect the sound, but it's a tiny fraction of a second jump in the picture every five seconds or so that is just enough for me to notice. I confirmed that it's caused by being disconnected from LIVE when I reconnected once it had started and it suddenly stopped. Very weird. I have no idea why it's doing that, but since I'm pretty much always connected to LIVE it shouldn't be any kind of problem.
Early on in my watching, though not so much later on, I noticed things that amused me. I don't know if it was because of the initial lower budget or what but I would notice that they re-used certain footage, like the lockdown footage - people running, etc. Not seeing so much of that now but one of my favourite characters has left the show for the rest of this season. It's alright though, the guy they have to replace him is awesome xD
Right now, I'm watching Stargate again after being woken up by my sister and her noisy friend Ben playing very loud music and being well on their way to being tipsy. Since they are students and poor they already need to be half-drunk before they leave. Personally I never really had much of a social life when I was my sister's age. Though, I didn't have many IRL friends, either. The only downside of most of your friends being online is you can't go over to see them whenever you like.
And on that note, I'm finally seriously looking for a job. My desire to have money to do whatever I want with has finally overrode my desire to go on living my merry life without any responsibilities of any kind. I might be in for a job at the newsagents just up the road, which would be awesome and I wouldn't be complaining about the amount of money I'd be getting either, but I don't know for sure yet - the owner of the shop has said he already has someone lined up to take the position but if that doesn't work out then I think it will shift to me. He's also concerned about actually being able to afford to take on another member of staff, which doesn't bode well for me since being the age that I am I require being paid more than someone who is younger than I am.
... I just killed a spider. It got inside my keyboard and I squished it under the keys then blew its horrid little body out with some canned air. I've been trying not to kill spiders as much since my bf doesn't like it but if one is in my room then it's gotta die.
I'm gonna stop here before I waffle on any more o3o
