22 days of uni left...
While everyone is indoors revising this weekend, Leela would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that she is spending some of it on a beach in Florida, and the rest at the Kennedy Space Centre.
However, revision not being one of my strong points, today I have played a little Hitman Contracts. I actually started writing an entry about this a while back, but I don't know where it went. Maybe I just never got round to clicking the 'add' button. Anyway, Hitman is a fun little game. The aim is to run around killing people in a stealthy manner. However, stealth is not one of my strong points either, so the past few days I have been experimenting with god mode, infinite ammo, and a rather charming nailgun mode, where your bullets pin them to the walls and they flap about. Although today I accidentally completed a mission and only alerted one guy. But don't worry, I went back and did it again properly - if you get seen, you'd better leave no witnesses, that's my motto.
What else? Well, I've been looking at APM again (that package manager thing I've been working on for a year and a half and occasionally mention), and think I know what it's going to do and how it's going to do it. More importantly, I think I've worked out what APM can stand for; APM Project Manager. See, my first real bit of software has a recursive acronym, how can it fail?
I found myself in Sainsburys the other day, thirsty and without anything to drink, so I bought four little bottles of volvic which are flavoured with Lemon and Lime. Thought that sounded quite nice. Just goes to show how wrong I can be. Nah, it's not at all bad, but it could be better. Not making me grimace every time I take a swig would be a good start.
Last but not least, I just saw an absolutely classic film on BBC 2 - Assault on Precinct 13, by John Carpenter no less. As IMDB says, it's all about the lone inhabitants of an abandoned police station, who are under attack by the overwhelming numbers of a seemingly unstoppable street gang. IMDB also says that there's a remake in production, due 2005, starring Laurence Fishburne. Bet they'll murder another classic. Still, at least the 1976 version should be here on Wednesday...

a) I could've told you that flavoured mineral water was horrible.
b) How can they be lone inhabitant*s*?
As dictionary.com says, lone means "Without companionship; isolated or lonely" - there are 5 people stuck in a police station with no way to escape or communicate with the outside world.
I've seen that; it's like a zombie movie but with punks instead of zombies. And with truly terrrible 80s synthesizer music, which I think was written by John Carpenter himself.
Yes but surely they each have companions in each other! Durrrrrrrrrr.
Kennedy space centre? *grumblejealousgrumblejealousjealous*
I really did think of everyone when I was in the sea, and it was like 35 degrees!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'll shut up now.
