Last Thursdaya Japanese exchange student named Masaaki (I think that's how it's spelled) came to my school. He is staying in my form and going along ot my maths lessons for the next year. Many people are messing around with his electronic Japanese <-> English dictionary, as you can guess (Use your imagination here).

Last Saturday my dad left for Dubai on a business trip. My little sis Chaz broke her thumb by shutting it in a car door. She and my mum ended up waiting in Kent&Sussex Hospital in Tunbridge Wells for about 2 hours, and Chaz was trated for about an hour, since there were only 2 nurses working there at the time. I went into town to look around the shops a little.

Sunday was St. Georges' Parade with Explorers. Only me and 6 others from the explorer group bothered to show up. My grandparents came over for the day and left after dinner.

Monday - found a way to get on MSN in the middle of my German lesson. Translated my MSN screen name into German (so it was The Magical Musical Edible Spongeman, and is now Der Magisch Musikalisch Essbar Vorteigmann). Nothing else happened.

Nothing interesting on Tuesday really.

Dad got back from Dubai on Wednesday. Went skiing for the first time in my life (dry-slope) with Explorers. Wasn't very good at stopping, but could go VERY fast. (not always a good thing). Fell off the ski lift 3 times, which was kinda embarassing. It was about 2 hours, from 7:30 'til 9:30 PM. Great fun though!

Thursday - rediscovered Gorillaz. Transferred it over to my MP3 player. Began bidding on a copy of their DVD on eBay.

Yesterday - again not much. Except me and Dad booked a pair of tickets to see Rammstein at the NEC in Birmingham.

Today - It is now 12:40. Mum, Dad and Chaz are out in town getting Mum a new phone. I am left here because my mate Lewis is coming here later today and I am here in case he shows up early. Dog completely zonked out. He is lying down, asleep, on the sofa in the living room.

I am now officially know as the Magical, Musical, Edible Spongeman. You may think this is strange. Take some time to look at my photo. Kind of a suitable name for this person, don'tcha think?

I have also begun my "death to office assistants" motifs, featuring each and every one of the office assistants from office 2003 with their head on a pike. Life-size. I began with Rocky, because he seemed the easiest to edit. And also no-one else in the room was editing him at the time.

More of those when I have more time, methinks. I have now developed a perhaps unhealthy obsession of listening to Jon Culshaw's prank calls he did on BBC Radio 1. And things from http://www.rathergood.com. I know this for sure because I have added half the MP3s there to my MP3 player. And my "tunes to work by" playlist. I think I may have to see someone about this. Perhaps when I begin caring.

Oh, and sometimes people ask me why I am called Jez the Pie everywhere.... This is because when I rejoined Runescape (I know, sad ain't it?) after forgetting my password I needed something that hadn't been used. I thought of Jezza, which is my nickname to most people, and pie as in "MMM pie" from "weebl and bob" which can be seen here - http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk. It has basically stuck with me for EVERYTHING I need to use a username for, as it is definitely something no-one esle is going to dare to use

So that's it for today's random things. I will post the motifs at a later date when I have made a full set. If it is possible to post a photo with a comment, please post pics of any assistants which are not available in 2003 (the really old ones like will) as I really would like a full set if possible.

Well, nothing interesting happening so not much to report. Kinda bored and weighed down by a load of coursework but i can *just about* manage. Everything is kinda falling ontop of me and i'm tryin not 2 let it get 2 much

Ah well best keep my head down and get on with it !

(and because of this stupid firewall i can't upload a photo album...)
