I LOVE ROBBIE

Up to a certain point anyway...

Tonight we went for pizza (which he paid for because he's a gem, a very rich gem but a gem indeed), and he said he'd get us both a drink from The Belltree while we waited. He got himself a bottle of Budweiser (all make fun of him for that xD) and then asked the barman "What's the poofiest drink you've got in a bottle? Because I'll have one of them two" or something along those lines ¬¬ So he's sitting there with a beer (admitedly not a very good one) and I'm there with a raspberry flavoured half sugar Bacardi Breezer ¬¬

Would have been all fine and well had not 3 drunk Englishmen came over to us and started asking us about where they could get weed. It took me until they went away to realise that I'd sat there the whole time with a Breezer in my hand... Damn Robbie xD

Which of course sparked a new conversation about who would give and who would take if me and Robbie were in a relationship together. To solve this argument, what does Robbie do? None other than go up to the next person to walk past and ask them who out of the two of us would take it up the ass if we went out... Apparently the man did not want to offend the poor boy with the Breezer, because he said that we could both take equal turns at butt-fucking each other xD


So yeah, all the rest of you folk who might not like Robbie, well I DO. And not just because he buys me stuff xD

Just a Quickie

Because I feel like I haven't blogged enough...

Went to a wee party at the weekend, the best bit being of course me meeting The Fuhrer. His name is James and he's a Tory. See, all of this makes him seem like a bad person, but I actually really like him xD He's pretty funny, and best of all he's not afraid to ask for things. Like when we went into the kitchen (and I mean actually went in) of a posh restaurant at midnight and asked if there was any leftovers that they were willing to give us for free xD And guess what, it worked xD We got two massive tubs of potato *ahem* "Gratin Dauphinois" that were soooooo tasty xD

I'm sure I had something else to say but I can't remember what it is...


I think I'm going to see The Dark Knight tomorrow with Matthew, I forgot we'd planned to go xD It looks pretty good, and as long as dead people can act I'm looking forward to seeing Mr Suicide because he's usually pretty good. Even ask Jake Gyllenhaal xD


Got my jobseekers allowance interview tomorrow. Greg says that most of your time there is spent sitting doing nothing and only 10 minutes of it is actual interview, so looks like it'll iPod time.

I wish I'd started looking earlier though, all the shops in town seem to have just hired all their new employees after last year's students left to go on to greater things. The guy in Gamestation actually said that to me, it's not like I'm making this up as an excuse for them not liking me xD He pretty much just came out and said that all of the shops were already doing their interviews or had done them already (Gamestation did there's today, in case you needed to know).

Ah well, here's hoping that unlike Jodie the job centre will actually work for me and I'll get something out of it xD


Anyways, I'm away to bed now, I need to get up at like 2 for this stupid interview and It's already almost quarter to 3 xD

Niiiiiight
xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

My sister

Is a great drunk xD

She's one of the drunks who stumbles about the places, and when she speaks to you she hold onto you to stay standing xD I was playing Worms on my laptop and she was all "Is that that game that we used to play like aaaaaaaall the time?" excepts she slurred all the words xD

Thank God she has Gemma looking after her :P

My mum 2 minutes ago: "Is Catriona in?"
Me: "Yeah."
Mum: When did she get in?"
Me: "Oh aaages ago" [that means 10 minutes xD]
Mum: How was she?
Me: "Looked completely sober if you ask me"

I hope she does the same for me xD


I love parties at the moment, and I don't mean the parties themselves (they were great anyway) but I love the fact that they're all near me xD Last week was just down the road in Monifieth and tomorrow I'm at a party in the Ferry. It's great xD For once I'm not having to get 2 busses home from everywhere xD


So I need to get a job... I went hunting around the house for the Courier again tonight but my mum or dad must've been reading it in bed 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere, and I even checked the paper bin... I'll just apply to any and every admin type job I can find, and anything else which doesn't look too complicated xD I'm too clumsy to even try and do anything that involves making or serving food :P I'm applying to the Odeon as well, with the help of Sarah, 'cause I like the unlimited movie tickets perk of the job xD


Went to Camperdown yesterday, twas good :D We had barbeques and sunbathed all day ^^ And Matthew drove his car into the middle of some grassy bit which was soooo obviously not allowed but we got away with it for hours before anyone made him move it xD

Went to Matthew's afterwards too, on the way we went to Halfords because Matthew had money and Matthew loves spending money xD He walked out the shop with two new windscreen wipers, which the lovely Halfords people put on for him (what those Halfords adverts on Dave before Top Gear don't say is that for all their special services they charge you xD Matthew go charged £3 for 30 seconds work that he probably could've done himself :P). We ate food and watched TV all evening, so it was good xD


I have a new way of ending blogs, I will post a YouTube video that relates to what I've done lately xD

Here's today's, because Matthew had this song on in his car and it reminded me of seeing this on TV :P

:(

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER

Edmund and Lucy don't get to go back!
That was a bit sudden xD He really does write for kids though, doesn't he? xD Well, he writes for people who just accept what he says without needing more definition that "You're too old." So kids and blondes then... And he finishes it like "And then Caspian sailed back to Ramandu's island and all four of the Lords were awakend once more and Caspian married Ramandu's daugher and they had lots of children and their children had lots of children." I mean come on, you could have made more of a story of it than that xD Still good books though, and I do like them more now that I don't know what's going to happen :P

SPOILERS END


So today... I hoovered my entire house (I dusted it yesterday) and then washed all the dishes. I did another chore too but I can't remember what it was xD I watched The Corpse Bride again when I was doing it, and it's still a good film ^^ Burton casting his woman and his man once more xD

Then when I was complaining to Matthew that I was bored he said he felt like driving to Perth to go to some camera shop and look at things, and I said I'd keep him company so off we went xD We really didn't do much when we got there: he went into the shop, looked around a bit, got himself 2 Manfrotto's, then we went for food, sat in his car and ate it, and then we went home again. You can tell Matthew cares loads for the environment xD Oh to be as rich as him.

Iain: So when do you get more money?
Matthew: £50 at the end of the month from my dad.
Iain: Why does he give you that?
Matthew: To keep me happy.

No wonder the boy's minted xD And he signed on today xD And so did I :D So that should be £97 a fortnight from today xD I should probably start looking for a job too...

Damn...

Vampires and Paddling Pools

So, to start off like I ended yesterday, here's my review of the From Dusk Till Dawn trilogy:

The first film I had seen a few years ago so I could remember the basic storyline, but it was still good to watch again. Annoyingly, George Clooney is quite good in it, and he's definitely the best actors out of the two brothers, the other being played by Quentin Tarantino, so I don't think anyway was expecting all that much really... The special effects aren't exactly the most stunning, and I've seen older movies than that having better vampire effects, but I'm guessing they didn't have the biggest budget, it being just a tad absurd of a storyline xD

The second film on the other hand, that was a significantly worse storyline, and the special effect were even worse this time round. Of note is the stupidly daft scene of the woman in the shower (yes, it was that cheesy) where a bat flies at the shower curtain, and it's hit the shower curtain but the same flying effect is still happening so it's 'flying' forward but not going anywhere, it's not even pushing the shower curtain forward. The rest of the movie isn't really worth mentioning, so I'll just move on to number three.

Three is a vast improvement on two, especially helped by the fact that they got a fair few of the actors from the first one involved in this one, cementing it much more into the storyline of the movies. It's a prequel to number one, but the premise is pretty much the same. A bunch of good guys has to join forces with a bunch of bad guys while they force off a huge pile of vampires, and thankfully it's done quite well.


In un-movie related news, I had a pretty eventful day today. Mhairi texted me asking if I want to come up to Birky to play in a paddling pool with water guns. Of course I said yeah, so me, Mhairi, Paul, Sarah, Turgoose, Greg and Michael all ended up in Mhairi's back garden, buying a paddling pool and 2 water guns xD It was good fun, especially soaking the pathetic babies that were Paul and Matthew xD

After we dried off from that, Matthew, Greg and Michael decided they'd go up to Blair Atholl to take photays of sunsets and stuff, while me, Mhairi, Paul and Sarah all went off to St Andrews for a wander. We ended up walking round castles, through streets and along beaches, and not one of us fell down this big hole we crawled around xD I made dams too, and they were sexygood, not breaking until I decided to bomb them with stones xD


Now I'm lying in bed watching Hell Boy 2, and it's almost finished so I suppose I can say what I think of it here too xD It's a good movie, and if you can you should go see it in the cinema because, like del Toro's other movies, the creatures are amazing, and once more he's made a movie with really good storyline, great characters, and a well-written and quite funny script. The worst bit of course is the fact that David Hyde Pierce (Niles in Frasier) no longer voices Abe Sapian, but the character itself is still pretty funny. He's still my favourite xD


Oh! And guess what I did tonight, 100 sit-up thingies and 100 and something press-ups (is that what they're called? xD). Seeing as I didn't do the cycling thing I said I would, I've decided to do other exercises instead, and if I ever do start cycling, I'll try keep up the other exercises as well, so that I get extra fit :D I even ate a kiwi tonight to be extra healthy xD


Gotta remember to sign on tomorrow as well... I got distracted by cleaning today... xD


Anyways, enough for just now, sorry this post isn't too exciting, but as I said, I'm watching a movie so my concentration's elsewhere xD

This is the BBC.

And we have the iPlayer.
And it is good.

Well it amuses me for a few hours every week xD

Only watch 3 programmes on it really, and I watched all this week's episodes one after the other xD

First was Mock the Week, the scene kid's favourite programme, starring Frankie Boyle, the scene kid's favourite comedian. Can you guess I liked the programme more before every scemo under the sun started hailing it as the second coming? This week's was quite good, and my opinion of Russell Howard (who used to annoy me almost as much as Michael McIntyre does) changed completely after that bit about the different newspapers. Admittedly the show epitomises the fact that the panelists of comedy panel shows are shown the questions hours before the show is filmed so that they can write some material, but it's still pretty damn funny.

Seeeecondly was Top Gear, tonight with the oddest challenge I've ever seen... Although to be honest it's probably not really, but at the moment I can't think of any odder ones. At first I got confused by the first challenge (not the odd one) of what is the better rich-man car because The Hamster wasn't involved, but the I realised that that was because the challenge was between the presenters' actual cars and not cars they bought just for the show. To be honest, it was fairly obvious who's car was better right from the start, but it was still a good bit of TV. And then there was the silly challenge, which was also quite predictably good TV, but what else did you expect when Clarkson dresses his car up like a fox and gets a bunch of posh English fox-hunters (including The Hamster, but not for some reason May, the man who seems a lot more gentry) to hunt him down through the English countryside. Amusement (I was going to say hilarity, but that would probably be going a bit far) ensues as Clarkson destroys forests, demolishes hedges and ford the odd river or two. It is true that the producers probably told the hunters not to catch him too quick thereby making the whole thing a bit staged, but it was still good fun to watch. And for once I was rooting for Clarkson and not The Hamster xD

Thirdly, my Doctor Who replacement, the oddly amusing Bonekickers. It's a poorly acted, poorly written programme about a bunch of archaeologists uncovering this week's mystery and solving it in blown out of proportion storylines including (and this was all this week): mysterious swords, shipwrecks, tribes of escaped slaves, drug-driving, murders, arsons, a kidnapping or two and a black US presidential candidate. Although not amazing TV, it's good fun to watch and it amuses me enough to keep me watching for the whole hour xD Plus, as it's a drama made by the BBC, a series only lasts 6 episodes so all the season-long plot arcs are over pretty quick xD


On a separate note, before I got home and milked iPlayer of its TV goodness, I went to the cinema with my mum, sister and Yoda tonight to see Mamma Mia! (the explanation mark is in the title, I'm not shouting). It's pretty good, and you can tell that the cast all must have had a great time filming it, and it apparently sticks to the Broadway musical's storyline almost perfectly (my sister and mum have seen it). The three dad's were of course the best bits, although Colin Firth should have got more singing in, because it was just funny xD Pierce Brosnan got a song in, and he cannot sing, but that just makes it all the funnier :P The other dad is the Swedish actor who plays Will Turner's dad, Bootstrap Bill, in the Pirates movies, and being in a Pirates movies (and not being called Keira or Orlando) means I have to love you, so given that I liked Pierce and Colin already, I didn't know which one of the 3 I wanted the dad to actually be x

Julie Walter's character is really good, although she's always pretty good, so there was no surprise there. Also, I'm glad that Amanda Seyfried got a role that didn't have her playing someone daft like she does in Mean Girls (she's the blonde plastic) because she plays it pretty well.

I also watched the first 2 From Dusk Till Dawn movies, but I'm not writing about them until I've watched the 3rd, a prequel to the first or so I'm told...


So all in all, I had a fairly pointless day, but it amused me, and that's enough to make me happy ^^ I'll try and actually do something productive tomorrow... Oh yeah, I'm signing on, so I suppose that counts xD I might actually start looking for a job too... because if I go on Mhairi's estimates of how much money I'll need then I'll need to be earning like a grand a month xD


Anyways, that'll do for one post, so I'll write again tomorrow. Maybe I'll be bothered to make my bike work by then xD

News... News... News...

Well it's not exactly news, but I do have a lot to write about xD It probably won't be as long as it could be though because I have 3 films to watch xD

So Friday night was Max's party, and it was damn good xD The boy has a maaaaassive house with 4 living rooms and a sauna... He's minted xD I didn't get that drunk, well I did at the start but I let myself sober up, for once I decided I didn't want to get so drunk I'd regret it the next day, a lesson a certain Ms. Rutherford might want to learn xD At least she didn't throw up :P

His house was soooooooooooooo messy the moring after... Me, Paul, Mhairi, Sarah, Steven and Michael all stayed to help him clean it up and even with all of us helping, when we left it was still a state xD There was about 6 or 7 bags just full of glass bottles and and a good few more bags full of normal rubbish xD I'm glad I helped though, otherwise I woulda felt sooooo bad.

That night me, Paul, Mhairi and Steven decided we'd go into town for our tea and got ourselves a Jimmy Chung's. Everyone made fun of me because I ate so much so quickly, but I was hungry so it was worth it xD Then that evening we all went to the good cinema because Sarah works there and got us all in for free. We went to see Hancock but I didn't mind seeing it again because it didn't cost me a penny xD


Not done much today though, I've just showered and ate something, that's all...

Well, something eventful did happen (as anyone on MSN just now will know xD)... I was in the shower with the radio on and Music from the Movies came on (it's a competition where the DJ plays a song from the movies and you text or email in what movie it's from). After a couple of clues I had worked out what movie it was from and decided that when I came out the shower I would email in just for the sake of it. So when I got out the shower I almost forgot about the whole thing because apparently the whole way through my shower I was flooding the bathroom and the whole floor had a layer of water on it xD I don't know how I managed it, but I cleaned the whole mess up without anyone in my house realising what I'd done, even with the carpet in the hall soaking up a fair amount of water as well xD

Well when I had cleaned it all up and got dressed I remembered about the competition and thought that I might as well just enter it, so I did. The song was Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six by the way, and the clue that put the nail in the coffin (I am loving that phrase right now xD) was "the movie starred Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore". So I emailed the manny saying something like "And the answer iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis... Charlie Angels 2: Full Throttle! Or at least I hope it is xD" and my details, and then a few minutes later on the radio comes "And well done to Iain MacKinnon from Barnhill who is today's winner from Music from the Movies!" xD

I was soooooo happy xD Woulda be slightly happier if I could find someone else who heard him say it, but winning was good enough xD Apparently I've won Ultrabeat's album and Sam Sparro (that's how Amazon spells it...)'s album. Not exactly amazing prizes but that won't ruin my moment :P

So there ya go folks, go listen to your radioboxxes and enter the competitions, because real people do actually win the prizes xD


I'm away to go watch the From Dawn Till Dusk trilogy now so I'm ending this blog on a high :D

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
