It's like a commentary track for my life

11:02 Woke up late, annoyingly, and can't be bothered doing much. I've still got to do all that homework and other stuff that I mentioned yesterday, so to free up some time, I'm going to do one of these “blogging throughout the day” posts. Haven't done one of these in a while.

11:52 I've just been looking at the Apple website to try and find some sort of cover for my iPhone, since I'm paranoid about scratches on the screen. One case I found said it offered “full protection” for your phone but apparently left the screen entirely open. So I guess “full protection” means “everything but the most important two fifths of the surface area.

13:13 Looking at university courses right now. I need one more as a back-up in case I don't get into the courses I actually want to do. Problem is, I'm having to go solely by their websites and those are... well, pretty useless. The UCAS course searching system doesn't give a huge amount of detail either. Meh. I'll probably just end up choosing one at random.

14:08 Doing these really reminds me how little I actually do in any given day. I'm doing some Physics revision right now, if anyone cares.

14:46 Decided on my final course choices and tried to send away my application form but the UCAS sites is apparently having some sort of internal error. No idea what that means but it isn't exactly reassuring. I'll try again later. For now, I still haven't done much of my Physics stuff.

16:33 UCAS is still having problems of some kind. I'm basically just sitting here doing nothing while my brother plays Halo 3. I've recently become a little disillusioned with Halo. The first game was excellent and the second added some nice touches and the oh-so-important online multiplayer. But the third... I don't know. Good, but a little samey. Maybe that's why I don't find myself playing it a lot.

Anyway, I still need to do some of that Physics, don't I?

16:43 Just had to unplug one of my precious 6-socket power strips so that I could take it into school tomorrow for the consoles in the common room. Kind of annoying but I can live with it for a while, I guess. Haven't done any Physics yet.

19:25 There was a question on the Wii's Everybody Votes channel that asked which futuristic thing you'd like to have – flying cars or robots. Robots already exist. I voted for flying cars. Based on a different spelling of a slight variation on a typo I just made, I'd also like to point out that I wouldn't be averse to flaying Tsars.

19:43 I can't find my slippers.

19:44 I found my slippers.

21:08 Top Gear just finished a few minutes ago. They were racing from one side of London to another by various methods this week, as well as all the other usual stuff. One of these days, I'm determined to do some crazy stunt like those guys do every week. Schemes may well already be forming.

Also, I have just now discovered that the extendible shaving mirror doohickey in the bathroom next door has two differents modes, accessed by rotating it along the central axis. The one on the other side is all crazy and fun-mirrory. And I still need to do more Physics. And try sending off my UCAS stuff.

21:31 UCAS system is apparently back up and running. So that's my university applications dealt with then. Now, I guess all I can do is wait.

22:52 Well, I reckon that's my day pretty much complete. I'm just going to paste this into Blogger, agonise over the formatting for a couple of minutes and then... do my Physics revision... yeah. Not good. You know what's kind of ironic about this unit? I can understand all the quantum mechanics, but “simple” harmonic motion annoys the hell out of me.
