It's been too long since I last blogged

Greetings! I know, I know, it's been almost two months since I last blogged, apparently, but now I'm back.

So, where to start? I'll start by telling you all why I haven't been blogging. Exams. I know, terrible, right? They suck all the life and creativity out of you while you're doing them, and then they make you wait two months for the results. I say we burn the exams, that'll show 'em!

Okay, so maybe not. I really don't have that much to say to you all. Exams were fine, in my opinion. Except Maths. Maths was horrid, and I had it in my right mind to start writing stupid comments on the paper again. Who on Earth would want to work out how wide some tiles are? Okay, so maybe this person hasn't got a tape measure. Yet this person still knows the overall dimensions of the tiled area? How does he know if he hasn't got a tape measure?

Aside from Maths, though, everything was fine. Though the Graphics exam could have been a little kinder, and they didn't exactly give us buckets of time for English Language.

But rejoice! For exams are over, and we've a long summer ahead of us. Providing the weather is okay, of course. I mean, I'm not a huge fan of the sun, but I don't want it to be raining through the entire summer now, do I? No, no I don't.

Speaking of summer, I've started reading the books on my ever-growing, overly long list. I started with the last book in The Saga of Darren Shan and moved on to Summer Knight. After that, I read Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Yes, Stardust as in the film, Stardust. It was a book first, and it's bloody wonderful. It's fantastically well-written, and the story is just marvelous. I love it.

I've now moved on from Stardust to Gods Behaving Badly that was recommended to me by Michael Ritchie, a writer and someone I talk to online. (Should you want to read his stuff, check out his blog here.) I've got to say, Gods Behaving Badly is great, too. It's funny, and quite strange; a good combination, if you ask me.

I also bought Prototype the other day. It's amazing. You play Alex Mercer, a guy who's been infected with this virus thing that makes you all super. Best part of the game? You get to cut people in half. Awesome.

I think that's all for now, since I need to get back into the habit of blogging. But you should know:

I'm back.
