    You thought right.

    still in college? At one point I thought you might have gone abroad when you were not posting much.

    Yeah, still in college. Doing a different course now (on retail) so we;ll see where that goes :) Nah, haven't gone abroad and have no real plans to

    What a race in the formula 1 today! Delighted that Vettel won the championship.

    I only got to watch it there this evening. It's amazing to think that this is his 3rd World Championship and he's only 25 years of age. Aryton Senna was 28 when he won his first.

    There's a video on You Tube that some dodgy promoter in Donegal put up. But no, we don't bother with any of that ****. We're a rock band, not Microsoft. :)

    Is it normal to just one day completely lose interest in your collage course? I'm finished in the summer but have no interest in it anymore despite being good at it. Would understand if it happened in first year, but I'm nearly half way through my second year and it just came out of nowhere.

    Is it the only thing you have lost interest in?

    If your okay in general you might just be tired of the routine but if you find yourself disinterested in general you might need to build up your energy levels. Eat right, exercise, sleep with a regular pattern, fresh air - all the boring stuff!

    Lost interest in getting up early but I doubt many enjoy that aspect :pac:

    I think it's the only thing.

    Some of the subjects are just bore fests. Others are only revision now which is also boring. I hope thats why, the fact that not much is happening in the subjects since there are only a couple of weeks left in the semester.

    Over the last week or two, my interest (on a scale of 10) has gone from a steady 7/8 down to about a 2.

    In about six months it will all be finished either way. I can stick it out that long.

    SO I walked round town for an hour today with my zip down. Nothing like finding that out after trapsing through the shopping center :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    It must be either aesthetically pleasing to whoever passed you, or maybe it's just too small (yikes).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,773 ✭✭✭connemara man


    Half way through today my mood turned so bad that iv been a d**k to everyone I know, to the point iv avoided family an friends so I dont snap st them


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,623 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I've had days like that. They suck. Hell, I've been having months like that. Everything ok?

    In other news, "X Men: Days of Future Past" (the next movie) have confirmed that
    Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart have signed on
    . Thrilled with that news.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,773 ✭✭✭connemara man


    Everythings in general ok, just a bad day, just think I snapped my face an jaw arw actually sore from the scowl,

    Thats sounds cool bout x men


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Yeah that sounds cool, what exactly is that going to be about, is it the sequel to First Class? Hey man, hug it out with people to make yourself feel better, even if you didn't fight..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    In other news, "X Men: Days of Future Past" (the next movie)
    Doesn't sound like that is following on from the enjoyable(imo) reboot.
    Hope you didn't say anything you regret Conn_Man.

    It is a sequel to First Class. Apparently it's based on an arc from Uncanny X-Men. The story, as far as I can remember, is as follows...
    The story starts in the future where Sentinels hunt down mutants and the world is a really crappy place. (I'm presuming this is where Mckellen and Stewart come in, playing the versions of their characters in the future). Kitty Pride finds a way to send her mind back in time to her younger body. Back in the past (ie, back with the cast of the last film), Kitty tries to stop the assassination of a senator which they have identified was a key point which led to the crappy future.

    I only caught the vintage Adam Sandler soppy last 5 minutes which included pacino saying destroy tapes of an ad he was in. Was that an apology for him being in the movie?

    Got the missus' car serviced in an official Toyota dealers there the other day and was told it needed over a grand's worth of repair work - the bloody car is only wotrth around 3k. Got it checked by a friend of a friend who's a mechanic this moring and turns out none of it is necessary. New brake pads in Jan and thats about it.

    Shower. :mad:

    I think the only thing impressive about the Jack and Jill movie is how many awards it won for being awful.

    Report them lads, they taking the piss and are giving that car a bad name.

    I bring my Japanese car to be looked after by the dealer and they have never tried to carry out work that didn't need doing. Over the years a few things have gone wrong that genuinely needed fixing and the labour is always dear with a dealer alright, but I have a choice if I want to go with them or not.

    It's actually disgusting to think garages are out there trying that ****e.

    WWE will probably mention this although it'll go past me when I fast forward it. Didn't think i'd see anything dumber than a baby called dovakiin last year.
    Btw fair play Liverpool 3 wins in 14(sarcastic congradulatory clapping).

    As a United fan, the fact Pool are 4 points off the relegation zone makes me happy :D

    As someone that doesn't like Liverpool, it pleases me :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    The most depressing part is just how poor the league has been and yet we are still as far off the pace as Gerrard clearly is.
    Just finished Hitman tonite quite enjoyed it but I haven't finished Blood Money yet so cannot compare it to anything in the series.

    I watched the post production video for the hobbit today and realised that I applied for work in the post house where they are editing the hobbit, damn them not needing anyone in there!

    Was alerted to this and thought I'd share....

    http://www.humblebundle.com/

    Darksiders, Metro 2033, Red Faction: Armageddon, and 3 Company of Heroes games.

    The deal? Pay what you want for them! Minimum $1. But if you beat the average (currently about $5), you get Saints Row 3 as well, which if your computer can play it, is worth the fiver in and of itself. They send you the Steam keys. AND you can make them give whatever you pay to charity :P

    Word of warning; apparently they sometimes add a game or two to this deal later in the week, so maybe hold off if you don't mind the risk of SR3 going up (might go down, mind).
