Futurama returns!

Gracias to El Barto for the news that Futurama is returning to DVD, at least according to Billy West who provided the voice of Fry in the most excellent cartoon.

Futurama never found the mass audience that The Simpsons did but in some ways this turned out to be a good thing. My view is that at Season 9 or so The Simpsons lost its edge and become simply a very good show rather than a classic. There’s something nice and geeky about Futurama and its humour which I love.

Right, if this news is confirmed I think I’ll crack open some Futurama DVDs tomorrow to celebrate

(Thanks to Got Futurama for the image – the Futurama fan site)

Edit – I want to make it clear to readers that The Simpsons still rocks absolutely.

Due to various teachers being ill or skiing (or possibly a combination of both) I only had a quick Physics lesson this morning before going home again. Which is a good thing too, because I’m really tired. So tired my dad beat me at Connect 4!

That’s basically it really. Have a good weekend!

Special fun extra link… Is this for real?

Just to complete today’s exam story – Physics went badly! I’m confident I’ll have to retake this now in June which I did not want to do, but hey, at least you can retake. And the worst part is that there were two really easy marks which I found out about just minutes afterwards. Oh well, today was just not my day for Physics. I left out too many questions to be able to do well. But although I thought it went really badly, I don’t think I’ll fail, and I’m not actually ‘upset’ upset (like upset) because it’s only an exam. I’m alive!

Now, to think of something completely different to take my mind of it… [flicks to BBC News]… ooh, nothing much. Small brothels. More paedophiles. A talking parrot. Great.

Did English exam this morning. As usual, I’m pretty bad about judging how an exam went… not a disaster, not the best essay I’ve ever written. I’m not sure – I made a fair amount of points, tried to relate them to the question, shoved in some quotes – we’ll have to see!

Anyway, Physics is at 1.30. It’s a bit more cut-throat than English, if you don’t know what to do you could just freeze. Hopefully that won’t happen

How valuable is last-minute revision anyway? I’m never sure. Apparently boys cram more than girls. Is it true? No idea. But certainly my blogging style changes when I’m nervous, all these rhetorical questions.

Signing off from the rather ugly IBM computer in the 6th Form area of the library…

This afternoon I found a mysterious letter waiting for me on the stairs.

Inside!

Inside!

To my delight, inside was a surprise posting from the ‘Brummie girls’ Josie and Lucy who sent a very entertaining letter written on the benches in school and in PSE, some drawings and two hats. With contributions from Nic, ‘a pen called Eric’ and a summary of the graffiti currently found at their school too. Who says everyone you meet online is a nutter? Cheers everyone

Right, got to revise. English and Physics exams tomorrow. Real AS exams. Good luck to me!
