The Mike Haddad Show: This is relevant to my interests.

I've decided that since I'm obviously making absolutely no progress on the massive amount of homework I have to do in the next three days and that since it is making me physically ill to think about, I'm going to attempt to take my mind off of things. So here are some random updates.

I'm putting Allergic to Nuts on hold. I didn't care about the NaBloPoMo thing that much anyway. I just thought it would be fun to theme it. What I didn't realise is that it would (1) be so hard to write about and (2) that I would actually do everything in my power to avoid writing about it. So eventually I get on that and finish it up, and put it in its own separate category archive so it can be read in its entirety. It will be finished. There is so much that I would like to write about; at some point I WILL force myself to do it.

When I upgraded to MT3.33 things went to shit. The internet here doesn't cooperate so half the time I can't upload things to my server to upgrade software. MT 3.33 required me to upgrade Blogroll, an MT plugin by some guy. You will now see that it says "powered by blogroll" under the links. Maybe it's just me, but I was offended to the point where I almost broke something when I saw that he had inserted that into the code. Not because I wouldn't credit it. I have, and I would (will?) continue to do so. The fact that he felt it was his right to just add it bothered me. Who is he to decide he can clutter up my sidebar? What frustrated me more is that he has now added an ADDITIONAL thing on my already long list of things to do; many of them much more important. I now have to right a php script to filter that out to remove it so I can place it where I would like to, i.e. NOT on my sidebar right under my links.

I was gifted an electronic copy of McFly's new album, Motion in the Ocean, to hold me over until I can get my hands on a hard copy. I'm absolutely in love with it. Even taking into account that I'm one of the biggest McFly fan boys ever, I was still blown away. It exceeded every expectation I had for it.

Up until today I was incredibly excited for my birthday. It has since been overshadowed by the impending doom that I feel caused by my assignments and term tests. I would give anything to go shopping to make it feel better, only that can't happen; I spent two weekends ago maxing credit cards to cheer myself up. I'm still slightly excited about the birthday challenge, but recent developments have put a damper on things.

It is now 12:35. I need to do something productive.
