I’ve just spent the last 5 minutes starting and restarting my mac and fretting it may have to go to Apple because I can’t get the DVD out. I then found it in it’s box. Ooopsie. I then melted chocolate on dear macbook. sorry mac. I also got a book out of the library that I already have in my room. Many people wouldn’t believe my Alevels based on this abject stupidity.

BUT clearly by far the most interesting part of the day was the fact that the bus I was on crashed into a police car! Just was the driver went to pass it before the main bus stop in Islington….. CCCRRRRRUUUUUUNNNCCCCHHHHCHCHCHCCCCCCHHHHHHH. I really feel for the driver, not only did he crash at a busy 4pm in central London, he crashed into a police car. That is one horrendously bad day at the office. The police men (who were in the middle of persuading a tramp to move from a bench) just stood there with this total look of “ohmygodthatbusjustcrashedintoourcar, didthatreallyhappen!??!.”

It was almost impossible to get a decent picture as there were fake policeman everywhere at this point. Islington seems to be saturated with them. There must be a large do-gooder community. Anyway, as I was saying, most of the damage was at the back as the bus completely scratched up against it. Though this gauge in the door was pretty deep. The photo really doesn’t do it all justice.

But who would commit such a heinous crime against the protectors of our society. Well. I can reveal. That it was (the)…………

Though, I must say that credit where it’s due. I was sat right at the very back of the bus, the part that whacked into the car and I didn’t feel the slightest thing. I think the bendy buses get a bad rap for no reason. I like them alot. (Not just beacause they’re the ‘free’ buses.) I mean, it’s not the buses fault that someone was once stupid enough to get stuck under it.

I’ve been waiting (for one day) like a kid for christmas to get my film back from Jacobs and to be honest wasn’t disappointed there was a fair amount of good shots on it, so pretty happy. I have to confess that film photography in some ways isn’t my strong point. I’m from the digital generation. When I was younger I had a manual film camera but like all kids I was crap at everything so someone else put the film in. Then I graduated to one of the kodak advantix cameras were all you had to do was drop the film in and the camera did everything. Then I moved to digital. So basically what I’m saying here is that I’m a retard at putting films in cameras, taking the picture is the easy bit. I can (after getting to grips with the F65 SLR) manage that ok, but as for a wind it wind it off thing….. well there’s a whole other story.

So the highlights (and lowlights) of the second film through the SLR, which I am getting rather fond of.

Finally someone has acknowledged this. I think this is McCain’s only hope of getting into the White House, though unfortunately I think it’s a very real possibility that this could happen. I just really hope not. America (read: the world) doesn’t need a geriatric at the helm. Foreign policy will be based upon the 1970s purely because his short term memory will be shot. Let’s just hope (or not) that the Oval Office is (not) old people friendly. I really hope Obama wins. I like people that don’t wave some irrelevant military record in everyones face. Obviously some people haven’t noticed that all over the Western world virtually NONE of the leaders have a military record be it heroic or dubious. Why? BECAUSE IT DOESN’T MATTER when it comes to being a prime minister/ president. Though I think it’s fair to say that being smart should be a prerequisite. *coffDUBYAcoff*

And people please don’t go here. It will not help anyone or make anything better! It is the fantasy writings of a hypocritical man who critiqued a society that didn’t exist in the first place. I repeat, please don’t go there!

There was a fantastic woman on the 38 bus this morning. She wanted off the bus at the end of New Oxford Street and she wanted it there and then.

“You can let me off here, it’s safe, it’s safe, really it is, let me off at the bus stop.”

“(Bus Driver) I’m sorry I can only open the doors at the appropriate stop for this bus, sorry.”

The mad woman then goes on to beast him for a further few minutes and THEN calls the transport for London advice line number form the sticker on the bus asking what their policy on the bus stopping is. To make this even more hilarious she got off a second later. It was so hard not to say something. Like, have you really not got a pet stick insect at home to talk to or anything at all?!

Crazy B..ch numero dos raised her head in my lecture. She’s a rude ‘mature’ student at the best of times but today she decided she was window monitor. Life depends on such things. She turned round to me “Close it” my grasp of English isn’t so hot when ‘please’ is missing so I confused close with… open. I’m bad. I could go on for hours about this woman, she’s so rude, I really dislike her. Petty… how low can you go? I can go so low I’ll come out in Australia.

Said lecture was also unbelievably dull that I had to resort to my old game of tattoo spotting/ mental critique of subject and quality of tattoo in question. I love this game. People probably do it to me too when I wear short sleeves.

Because I ripped my bag and had to take my things out in a plastic tesco bag today I had to prioritize camera wise. As I’m messing round with the Lomo fish eye and the Nikon film SLR (F65) I took those and left my digi-babies at home. Hopefully got some nice shots but it rained so hard that there were some awesome reflections in puddles and I was really pissed that I didn’t have even a point and shoot to capture it with. Just hoping the films develop well. I think I used the right settings blah blah blah…

I do have to thank King Fan alot for the Lomo Fish eye. It went something like this….

Me: “Do you ever use that, can I borrow it for a while to play.”

KF “I was thinking to give it to you, i never use it.”

Me: “Cool”

KF: “With terms like those of third world debt.”

Me: “What, I pretty much get to keep it forever and ever and ever and various charities will tell you that you should let me keep it?”

KF: “Yep”

Thanks King Fan!
