Mallorca trip number 2

Posted on August 13, 2006 by Matt

Me and Amy got back from Mallorca this morning at 5am. Having had very little sleep on a freezing cold airplane, I happily tucked myself into bed and had the best sleep ever!!! We had a fantastic time! We went Rollerblading, Kayaking, Snorkelling, Touristing, had LOADS of ice cream (they have some amazing home-made ice cream parlours), had tapas, I even had to cook my own food in one restaurant on a heated stone, and Amy played lots of Sudoku… infact I think the last 2 days of the holiday were mostly taken up with me waiting for Amy to finish playing Suduko or helping complete one at 2am when I was half sleep. I wish I’d never taken that bloody Nintendo away with me :( (aside from that, I found out I’ve got one of the 1 in 5000 with a dodgy hinge and need to get it fixed now :( )

A New Mini Mix!

Posted on August 7, 2006 by Matt

I got a bit bored this afternoon. Having packed for Mallorca & done all my necessary tasks, I thought I’d give the new version of Mixmeister a proper trial. It’s bloody awesome!!! The new layout and design make it so muh easier to create really impressive mixes. So, I though the best way would be to cram as many tunes into a 5 minute mini mix, ala Annie Mac style. So here it is:
The Mixmeister Fusion Trial Minimix (2Mb wma 5mins) (Apologies for the woman speaking at the end, I haven’t purchased the full version yet)

  1. Windowlicker – Aphex Twin
  2. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) – Eurythmics
  3. Base 6 – The Chemical Brothers
  4. Hot In Herre – Tiga
  5. Singin’ In The Rain – Mint Royale
  6. Walking Away (Tocadisco Remix) – The Egg
  7. Technologic – Daft Punk
  8. Deceptacon – Le Tigre
  9. 24 Hours – Agent Sumo
  10. Hot In Herre – Tiga
  11. Out of Control – The Chemical Brothers
  12. You Gonna Want Me – Tiga
  13. Base 6 – The Chemical Brothers
  14. Feelin’ Kinda Strange – Drumattic Twins
  15. Restless – Evil 9
  16. Push Up – Freestylers
  17. Phat Planet – Leftfield
  18. Dig Your Own Hole – The Chemical Brothers
  19. Smack My Bitch Up – The Prodigy
  20. The Private Psychedelic Ree – The Chemical Brothers
  21. Spybreak! – Propellorheads
  22. The Rebel (Acapella) – Public Enemy
  23. Mindset To Cycle – FC Kahuna

NB: notice how it last 5 minutes EXACTLY this time!!! Now that’s impressive don’t you think!

I’m heading back to Mallorca!

Posted on August 3, 2006 by Matt

Wahey! I’ve just booked me & Amy a cheap flight to Mallorca on Tuesday for 5 days. I can’t wait! My brother’s got a kayak now so I can have a go at eskimo rolls for my 25 challenges and I can go skinny dipping! (I never got round to doing it last time, tho I did pee in the sea which is quite a weird experience. Anyway, thats by the by) So, yeah, I’m off 2mz to London too to party!!! And meet up with a few of the Binnie Court guys (reunions, yey!) I’m all hyper now!

Me and My DS

Posted on August 1, 2006 by Matt

Nintendo DS LiteLast weekend I was pretty ill with I don’t know what, so I decided I’d treat myself and buy a Nintendo DS last Tuesday to keep myself occupied while i was in bed at my sisters. It’s soooooooo addictive! I got it with the Brain Age game & my Dad is also addicted to it! Infact on the Tuesday night at my sisters, all the Ushers for her wedding were there bashing away and screaming colours at it (it’s got a built in mic with speech recognition and a touch screen). It’s also got WiFi built into it so I was playing against a little lad at the wedding the other day (not during the actual service cos that would just be wrong) which was awesome!! So everyone go and get a DS and lets play together (I want some friends basically). If you get one make sure you go and buy New Super Mario Bros! If you loved the old one on the GameBoy (back in the day) then you’ll absolutely love this version!!! It’s exactly the same style, but the graphics are amazing!!! And it’s so much more fun!!!

My sister’s married!

Posted on July 31, 2006 by Matt

Rachel in her wedding dressI’ve been away all last week helping my sister, Rachel, prepare for her big wedding day to Paul. It was such a great day! She looked really beautiful (as you can see in this picture). It was such a great day too. I was an Usher/DJ so I felt quite important. The speeches were very funny and my Dad’s speech (‘as Bride of the Father’ which he kept saying when rehearsing) went really well. So well done to him! And I can now have an extra brother! These two photo’s are from the photographer’s blog, they’re excellent pictures! If you’d like to see them, go to http://hyde-end.blogspot.com/2006/07/rachel-and-pauls-wedding.html. Take a look at some of my photo’s in my photo gallery. Now I just got to prepare for my big brother’s wedding in Mallorca! That will be fun!!!
