Shoutbox, all is forgiven.

Wahey! It appears that Shoutbox is back! :D Well I've recovered my code for it and our conversation can carry on where it left off. Short post I know...

Farewell Shoutbox...

(Sob) I've had to (sniff) say goodbye to my shoutbox seeing as (sniff) they no longer (sob) seem (sniff) to exist! All those wonderful memories....... (sob) Still, I can always try to get a Saybox like Derek has. Right, I'm off to try and get a Saybox! Wish me luck.

Random

Are you feeling down? A little bored? Got no problems at all but just fancy a laugh and a giggle? Then good because I have just the thing for you!

The music on it's own makes me smile and I just think it's good for when you or I need cheering up. I hope you enjoyed this randomly short intermission. We will now return you to your scheduled programme.

Nintendo Wii

What a stupid name for a console. It was revealed on the 27th of April that the new Nintendo console will be named "Wii", pronounced 'we'. I certainly prefered the code name "Revolution". It just sounds cooler. Just imagine you're gonna buy one and you say to your mates; "As soon as I've saved up enough cash I'm gonna get me a Revolution". Sounds good right? Now try it this way; "As soon as I've saved up enough cash I'm gonna get me a Wii" Not cool. Your mates would just laugh.

According to Nintendo it was named Wii for the following reasons;

Wii sounds like "we," which emphasises this console is for everyone.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.

I currently own a Nintendo Gamecube and I really like it but I very much doubt that I shall be buying a Wii. The controller is just too weird for my liking. If you haven't seen it yet it looks like a TV remote and you only use one hand. Apparently you wave it at the screen to move in games rather like a light gun. I'd feel like an idiot waving a "remote" at the TV.

Ho hum, I shall wait until I can test it in store to see what I think.

Howl's Moving Castle

I've had "Howl's Moving Castle" on DVD for quite some weeks now and today I fanally got around to watching it! I thought it was brilliant. For those of you who don't know what I'm on about it's a Japanese film based on a book by Welsh author Diana Wynne Jones. It's one of many films from Studio Ghibli and I think it was released in the cinemas some time last year. I would try and give an outline to the story but thinking back I'm not sure I can follow the storyline back in my own head. I think I'll watch it again this weekend to clear it up in my mind.
Still it was very good and I would recommend people to watch it. So, erm, I suggest you go watch "Howl's Moving Castle". I highly recommend it.
I think my next mission is to see if I can find and read a copy of the original book.
Wish me luck.

AC:WW

Otherwise known as Animal Crossing: Wild World. I love the game. I also have the Gamecube original although I haven't played on that in quite some months. Maybe I should before Stuville self implodes.
Anyway, here is a picture of what I currently look like in the game.
What do you all think? Very handsome I'm sure.

What type of villain?

Apparently this is what type of villain I would be:


What Type of Villain are You?

I think it's quite fitting.
Let me know how you lot turn out, I'm guessing Fat Tony would be the "World Leader" type.

Birthday Time!!!

It's my birthday! Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
Today I turned 19. Technically it wont be until 20 past 9 tonight though. This is the first birthday I've ever had away from home and it's kinda strange but I've had plenty of cards to look at.
Has been a great day so far as I got the day off uni because of the caretakers striking.

Animation Time Take Two!

I animated the first little bit of the balloon leaving the tree, the whirlwind and the coffin at the end! I'm very proud of our achievement and I hope you enjoy viewing it. :D

deviantART

I just thought I would let you know of a place called deviantART where you can go and view my art work* and that of thousands of others as well. There are over 8 million "deviations" and they are great to look at. My work, as well as my M.A.T.E.S comic is all free to view. You only have to become a member if you feel strongly enough to leave a comment.
I urge all readers of this to go and take a visit. My page can be found at www.alistu.deviantart.com . I shall add the site to my links list shortly.


* By art work I mean drawings, photographs, paintings, embroidery, etc. It has everything!

Evil?

I found a site that lets you test out how good or evil a website or phrase is so I put my site in and the result was as follows:

You can click on the picture to go and test it for yourself. Let me know what results you all get!

Happy New Year!

That's about it really. Have a great 2006 everybody, I hope I do.

Merry Christmas!

It's about time I said it. Here's a wonderful picture to fill you all with festive cheer.

This picture features, from left to right, Fat Tony, Derek the sheep, Molyan and me! Oh yes, and not forgetting Cecil there carrying a snowball. He best not be planning to drop it on me though! If he's heading for Derek then I say go for it Cecil!
I decided I shouldn't let Derek and Fat Tony's snowman have a carrot for a nose because I wasn't sure how close Bernard the goat was. I didn't think he'd be able to reach the carrot in Molyan and my snowman though.
Anyway guys, I hope you like my little picture of us all and that you all have a wonderful christmas and a great new year!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS PEOPLE!!!

Bongo Beetle

'Ere Derek. Where did you get your bananas from again? The ones with the banjo playin' spider. I ask because today I discovered my very own bongo beetle!
I got home from the shops with a lovely bag of grapes and the first thing I end up grabbing is a flippin' beetle. It looked just like a grape as well. All small, round and green. I suppose the legs should have been a bit of a give away really. I was going to either squash him or take him outside but as I was making up my mind he pulled out a pair of bongos and started to drum out the Mario theme!
Anyway, here's a little picture I drew of him for you all to look at and now I'll love you and leave you. I've got to go and find where he scuttled off to!

I have links!

At last, after much experimenting and frustration, I finally have a links section in the sidebar! You can now visit Neopets, Sims 2, the Beano, Derek, Molyan and Fat Tony all from the comfort of a click of the mouse without all the timely google searching.
In other news, the lad in intensive care after the hexopus attack is now fit and well again. Let's hope they can keep it contained from now on.

Attack update.

Aren't my post titles imaginative? They've never been a strong point of mine. Anyway, to the news! I said I'd let you know if I found anything more about the hexopus and I have!
Here is the cover of our local newspaper, "The Daily Blah"



The article went on to say that it was found when the lad managed to claw his way to a nearby observatory with the hexopus still clinging on. He's apparently now in intensive care at the local hospital where his heart beat reading is said to look like a squid. Let's all hope he pulls through.

Attack!

Hello again! I went for another walk today. Although, considering that I can't yet fly and I don't know how to drive there isn't really much else I could do to get around. Where was I? Ah, yes. So I was having a walk about, minding my own business and then all of a sudden I hear this almighty scream! "AAAARRRGH!!!" There was a lot of choking after that so I went to find out what it was. This site met my eyes...

It turned out to be some poor soul being attacked by a Hexopus. Note that it only has six legs/tentacles. I would have stopped to help, only as I started to go across to him a small flying haggis swooped down and nabbed my doughnut! (I'd nipped into the bakery before hand.)
Well, I had been looking forward to eating that doughnut since buying it only ten minutes previous. I wasn't going to stand for it so I chased after the wee haggis.
In the end I never found out what happened to the lad being attacted by the Hexopus. He was gone when I got back. I never got my doughnut back either. :( The haggis had eaten it when I caught up. I found it lying under a bush in the shade with a fat, little belly. So much for that.
If I ever find out what happened to the lad and the Hexopus, I'll let you all know.

Last Night.

Last night I decided to go for a midnight wander in the depths of my head. It wasn't long before I came across a group of school children and their teacher all standing next to a river. I was curious and so I stayed to watch. I soon found out that they were having fishing lessons as everyone pulled a fishing rod from their backpacks! Like Mary Poppins' bag it was!
Masses of fish gathered around but nobody caught anything because of a car chase! The cars ran straight down the river from the inside of a nearby cave, the fish scattered and then the cars were gone again. The school kids weren't too happy but I just shrugged it off and left.
I said my head was a strange plaice! Get it? Fish, plaice? I give up...

Hello and welcome to My World!

Hiya Peeps!
After reading Derek the sheep's blog for so long now I thought it was time that I joined in too with my own! Admittedly I already have an MSN "My Space" but this one is gonna be different and will hopefully have more in it. Well, it's certainly gonna be different.
Below is a picture of what I look like. I drew it myself! That's it for now. The first post is done with. OK, so it wasn't great but things should hopefully pick up when I get used to posting here. I'll get the hang soon, I promise!
