America (The Book)

reddalek

Woo! I finished America (The Book) today. Truly the funniest thing I have read in a long time, and would a perfect Christmas present to anyone with a vaguely political sense of humour. Why has this not been released in the UK yet? Oh, who cares, import it for only £14.85 (including shipping) from Amazon.co.uk. Yeah, it’s in hardback, with beautiful glossy pages. So go on, order it now. I’ll wait.

Jon Stewart is a genius. If you want to see him at work on American TV, just look at all of these hilarious video clips from his show.

(I’ve edited this post about 5 times now!)

Most obviously the new banner, of course. Have you ever noticed, Nic updates his site and a few weeks later I mysteriously get round to changing mine?

In other news, I’m now on study leave for mock GCSE exams. But the cliché about sitting in a gym is over, our class gets the luxury of a nice room upstairs, with carpets and everything. They’ve given this to our class for almost every exam for years now, perhaps we’re just ‘better’ in some way than the other classes? Yeah, that must be it.

Sorry.

[Dominic is at school, this item was pre-recorded.] [If Dominic is not at school, he must have got expelled or something. That’s where he’s supposed to be. If you know different, please contact Brent Truancy Police right now.]

OMG OMG OMG… well it’s not that amazing really, but check out the teaser trailer on the BBC site (yeah, we all noticed the new logo in the top-left hand corner. Clever you, what, just a few months after you re-branded?)

In other news – Windows Messenger 5.1 released, MSN Messenger 7 BETA officially publicly available, and MSN Spaces arrives. Cause I’m really likely to want to blog with MSN :rolleyes:

I’m too tired to give links tonight, you find ’em yourself!

I just finished my ICT Database Coursework. It’s the third one I’ve done, and they’ve gotten disturbingly longer each time…

My first, Multimedia, was 25 pages.

Then spreadsheets was 44 pages long.

This evening I completed my database coursework at a whopping 61 pages!

Luckily, I doubt the 4th and final one (Web Sites) will be anything like that much. I am looking forward to watching my class struggle with FrontPage (ugh) and Dreamweaver, while I code merrily in Notepad all lesson. (Well not all lesson, I might stop for a while to try and kill the horrible desktop background they’ve forced on us all.)
