I am so completely and utterly bored. There's not a soul online except Greg, but he's left his MSN on and gone off galavanting somewhere with Matthew. And now that the school's started, that a bundle more people that I could speak to who're now offline as well.
Plus I need a job. Quite badly actually. Admitedly, my life as a jobless gap person isn't as bad as Mhairi's, seeing as the housework I have to do pales in comarison to what she has to do. but it still gets freaking annoying trying to find a full time job when you've got no experience ¬¬
And the basic NHS ones where I just do boring work (the kind of job I'd be happy with) take 6 weeks just for them to get back to you, so I could be waiting a loooooooong time...
Someone come online please 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

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

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!

Afternoon tea, pubs, podcasts and more
The Narnia books are a lot better when you don't know what's going to happen in them. I read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and then Prince Caspian and yes they were good books, but I knew what was going to happen and for me, a book is never as good when you know how it ends. That's why I usually like reading the book before watching the film or TV series that's based on it. This evening I started on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and already I like it more, and that's completely because I don't know what happens in the end (or the middle or the beginning for that matter).
So yesterday me, Paul, Catherine and Greg went round to Mhairi's and had a spot of afternoon tea. She had made scones and a carrot cake, and although the carrot cake didn't quite live up to mine, it was still really good :D We had tea, coffee and Pimms as well. Pimms o'clock! xD
Then Mhairi had to do some cleaning and Catherine had to go to work for a couple of hours so me, Paul and Greg decided we'd go down to the Birkhill Inn for a few pints. It was good fun, especially when we were recording ourselves a podcast (our second, if you want me to send you either/both of them then email me - personalidiot@hotmail.com). Mhairi and Catherine came and joined us later and then we all decided to go stay at Paul's because he had an empty house. That is all of us except Greg, who chose to stay at home and try take sunrise photos instead xD
Paul's was good, I bought myself a 70cl of Gordon's gin and 2 bottles of tonic water, so it was tonic water for me. Paul had himself some beer and Mhairi and Catherine were drinking vodka. It all started well with us watching St Trinians (damn good movie, it was at least the fourth time I'd seen it) and then some TV, but then Mhairi decided that the contents of her stomach would have a better time in Paul's sink than where they were supposed to be and prompty evacuated the lot of them. Once more I was the one holding back her hair... not that she hasn't had to do it for me often enough xD
Didn't do as much today, the 4 of us just lounged about Paul's house until we had to drop of Mhairi and Catherine and Mhairi's mum's work so she could give her a lift home. Paul came back to mine's afterwards and we had a Chinese for tea. It was good, and I once more had two starters ^^
Tomorrow I'm going to a wee, although actually quite big, perty at Max's house so that should be good, especially as I'm told he has a rather large house which even has a sauna... Can't wait for that xD
So I'll see you all some time later... And hopefully tell you the tales of the party xD
Oh, and PS (see Paul, it goes at the end): Good luck Paul! xD

Kinda might have...
Got into the movies mood again... Although 5 films in a day really isn't very many for me.
I watched 2 Monty Python movies, The Meaning of Life and The Life of Brian, and they're pretty good, but I wouldn't say they were my favourite movies or anything. I was surprised I only knew 1 song out of all of the songs in both of them, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, but I suppose everyone knows that.
This evening I watched The Fog (the 2005 remake, not the original) and Ghost Rider. The Fog was terrible, bad storyline, bad acting, the whole shebang, and having the guy who plays Superman in Smallville play the lead role was a baaaaaad decision...
Ghost Rider was slightly better, and had real actors in it... Well it had one, but that alone made it miles better than The Fog xD. Out of every superfhero movie I've seen, this one more than any other sets itself up for a sequel. Once you see the last scene you realise the whole movie is pretty much just an introduction to the character, and it ends with a real story beginning.
I also went to the cinema with Turgoose today, we went to see Hancock. I didn't realise until we were sat down in our seats the mistake I'd made... I was sitting in a cinema about to watch a film with a black lead actor with Matthew. Why I didn't see this happening before I got there I do not know... As soon as the opening titles appear Matthew goes "you see if the first person to appear on the screen is one of them [yes, be appalled] then I'm walking out of here." Thankfully the first guy on screen wasn't black, so he stayed in his seat. That didn't stop him from trying to count the number of black people who appeared on the screen though... He got somewhere in the 30s or 40s (thankfully he did most of the counting in his head) before he gave up during a prison scene. It didn't end there though, later on in the movie he started trying to persuade me that Will Smith has got "darker" over the years, and that he used to be a "pale brown." One day that boy will get kicked in... and he will deserve every single bit of it xD
Hancock itself was a pretty good movie. I did manage to predict a fairly big plot element pretty early on (I watch too many movies xD), but it seemed to shock the Hell out of Matthew xD. To be honest, I'm amazed that they managed to keep such a big shock out of the trailers and features for the film, and there's bits in it that most other advertising people would use in the trailer for any movie they were working on, but the advertising people for Hancock managed to keep it under wraps, and well done to them xD
I promised myself I'd stop watching so many movies and start doing better things, and it worked for a few days xD. But I don't have any more movies lined up so here's hoping I start reading Prince Caspian tomorrow, and if it's anything like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe I'll be done with it in a few hours, but once I've got through all the Narnia books maybe then I'll be able to use my sexy new library card...
Me and Jodes are cool... we got library cards...
xD
Anyways, I'm away to bed soon seeing as I'm going to try and get an 11 oclock bus to Birky tomorrow and I need to wash my hair and stuff before I go so I'll have to get up at some stupidly early time... We're making a tree house, so it could be interesting xD

It didn't end there though, later on in the movie he started trying to persuade me that Will Smith has got "darker" over the years, and that he used to be a "pale brown." One day that boy will get kicked in... and he will deserve every single bit of it xD
Hancock itself was a pretty good movie. I did manage to predict a fairly big plot element pretty early on (I watch too many movies xD), but it seemed to shock the Hell out of Matthew xD. To be honest, I'm amazed that they managed to keep such a big shock out of the trailers and features for the film, and there's bits in it that most other advertising people would use in the trailer for any movie they were working on, but the advertising people for Hancock managed to keep it under wraps, and well done to them xD
I promised myself I'd stop watching so many movies and start doing better things, and it worked for a few days xD. But I don't have any more movies lined up so here's hoping I start reading Prince Caspian tomorrow, and if it's anything like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe I'll be done with it in a few hours, but once I've got through all the Narnia books maybe then I'll be able to use my sexy new library card...
Me and Jodes are cool... we got library cards...
xD
Anyways, I'm away to bed soon seeing as I'm going to try and get an 11 oclock bus to Birky tomorrow and I need to wash my hair and stuff before I go so I'll have to get up at some stupidly early time... We're making a tree house, so it could be interesting xD

AJ is 18 :O
She can now drive... vote... buy alcohol... but fags (again)... buy fireworks... watch and buy porn...
My name-a Borat...
Twas a good day, I must say, even if my morals prevented me eating anything in McDonalds while Kayleigh was buying people stuff xD
At least I got my veggie stuff on the barbeque :D
Lots of people are having birthdays... I want one xD
Anyways, I'm away to bed, being up this late is just silly...
Night ^^
Oh wait, Mhairi says my blog needs more photos, so here's on of me at the beach in St Andrews
If you ask me, it looks quite like the sort of photo an actor or model would have in their portfolio, or whatever they call it xD Pity I'm neither xD

St Andrews
I told Paul I'd write about it so here I am xD
So off me, Paul and Mhairi went to St Andrews this morning. There was supposed to be more of us but Catherine had work, Lisa and Greg had no money, Michael was helping Don move in, Matthew was Matthew etc etc etc. Anyways, it was still good fun with just the three of us :D
Most of the day was spent on the beach drinking our loverly Tescos alcomahol (thank you Paul for the gin & tonic and the beer :P) hiding in between sand dunes to keep away from the wind, another good idea by Paul, it worked amazingly xD
And thank you to Paul and Mhairi for buying me a Subway, and sorry for being such a "trouble maker" making you have to wait in that queue for so long xD If you ask me it was worth it...
We wandered about the shops and stuff too, and looked in some art gallery where all the art was by kids under the age of ten who all wanted way too much money for their pictures xD I mean come on, leaving a paint tub upside down and letting the paint dry weird was not worth the price they were asking for xD
So yeah, it was good day :D and we went back to Mhairi's afterwards with Catherine, and she smelt a bit, but it was still good ^^
On another note, I just finished reading The God Delusion, it's a pretty good book and I'm glad that I bought it, I'm just annoyed that it took me so damn long to read xD It's not even that long a book, I just always seemed to rather play on my PS3 or watch TV and movies than read, something I'm trying to stop :P
Like I was telling Viki tonight, I'm going to try and watch less movies and TV, and try and do more interesting things in my life, even if it is just help my parents around the house, or go and look after my little cousins who my gran is stuck with for the next week and a half xD
I suppose she could just use her Jedi mind tricks on them to keep them quiet...

Robbie here, Iain bored
Not that I'm commenting on his ability to amuse me or anything xD
BBC iPlayer's really not all that exciting... I watched some program that looked at what the people from Vets in Practise are doing these days, an episode of New Tricks (damn good program but it was in the middle of some thing you had to have seen last week's episode to understand) and then some conspiracy program about 9/11 which buffered so often that I just switched the normal TV on.
Thankfully, The F Word isn't that bad, even if I can't eat anything on it, as Robbie loved to point out xD
At least I didn't spend an hour or two looking at Warhammer stuff, he's too cool for school xD "Actually, I'm just not intelligent enough to be there, and I'm a tad old" or so he claims... Thankfully he's stopped now xD
Seeing Gordon Ramsay worried and scared is funny... "He's a fucking rottweiler!" No Gordon, he's just you but Chinese xD
