No diary entries for a week or so... Thats because I havent really had much to post about. And because I'm lazy. Mostly because I'm lazy.

I'm 'teaching' the holiday courses again. Actually, I'm trying to write a diary entry, and the kids keep asking me questions which I have to go answer, so it's taken me 10 minutes to get to here. Fear ickle children, for they are all evil. And just in case any of them or their parents are reading this, to put your minds at rest, I mean every word.

Tristan's on the train to France at the moment. Quite why he want's to go Paris for the weekend, I don't know. Waste of time, money, and he'll probably catch several dangerous diseases and end up having to pay a hefty fine after customs find, hidden in his backpack, two afghans, four vietnamese and eighteen french stow-aways, all in search of a better life. To be honest, who can blame them because, after all, England is a great country. We should play a cruel trick on them by pretending to believe that they wanted to come to Britain, and send them all to Scotland or Wales, or possibly Manchester.

Well, it's now taken 45 minutes to get to here. Oh the pain. Just can't get any work done with these kids asking me questions all the time...

Tried to set up an HTTP tunnel so I could spod and IM, but unfortunately all the HTTP proxies we have here are authenticating proxies, and the HTTP tunnels I can find can't cope with that. Which is a shame. And if you're computer illiterate and didn't understand a word of that, go into a chatroom and shout 'A/S/L? WANT CYBER? WOW, YOU ON AOL TOO?!'.

I should record some set phrases and play them back at the kids whenever they ask. I've just had to show someone how to put a picture into another picture (cut and paste) for at least the 15th time in 3 days. It's amazing how slowly some people can pick things up (although, to be fair, after 19 years I still can't seem to figure out how to use a knife). Anyway, 50 minutes.

What else? Have seen a few films recently; the new Ali G one (watchable), Ocean's Eleven (great), Three To Tango (splendid - Matthew Perry's films all seem to be good... apart from the Microsoft Windows 95 Video... Mr Perry, regular reader that you are, what were you thinking?!), Waynes World (and it was the first time I'd seen it... um... 'interesting'... ;) ), and Commando (wooo! go regular reader Arnie! Looking forward to seeing you in Collateral Damage, and while you're in London for the opening, we really should meet up for that drink).

Ate WAAAY too much chocolate over Easter, and I'm still feeling the after-effects (ie I'm a little hyper and feel sick). Never mind. Most of it was very nice, thank you if you gave me some, and if you didn't, you'd better have a good excuse, or have some for me next time you see me.

Went over to a friend's house yesterday and played Grand Theft Auto 3 on his PS2. That's a fun game - you can kick people to the ground, then beat them until they die and drop their money, do drive-bys with an uzi, steal shotguns from police cars etc. The gameplay is even better than the original, and it's fully 3d to boot. Nice.

Hrpmh. 1 hour and 5 minutes. Just took the kids off to lunch, which is good. Different group this afternoon, learning about the internet. Wonder how many times I'll have to tell them how to get to The Bubblegum Club website...

Hmm, can you sense the pain I'm suffering here?

Then again I'm getting paid quite a bit. But it's not enough. It could never be enough. After the 6 weeks of this in the summer, I hate this place. This zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it. I cant stand it any longer. It's the smell. If there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I feel as if I have somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive, isnt it. I must get out of here. I must get free. And in this mind is the key, my key. *

*Achem*

Sorry. But after 6 weeks, I actually do stink of children. It's horrible, takes me the rest of the holiday to get clean... Anyway...

Don't think there's anything much else to say, apart from Neve Campbell looks a lot better in Three to Tango than she does in Scream. Sorry, I know you're a regular reader and all, but it's true.

Well, it seems I lied to you at the start - I did have quite a bit to tell you. Although none of it was interesting, so I was almost right. And since you've just read all this, and I'm guessing you're now disappointed and contemplating revenge, here's something to cheer you up.

Well, I'm off to play Jared at Quake 2, then corrupt some kids by pointing them at rotten.com (I don't want to know what you were searching for when you found that, stu). Heheh, the fun just doesnt stop in my little world...

Oh, and if you're reading this, please email me! I can check my e-mails from here! It's my only form of communication! Argh!
