Graduation Photos Online

Posted on July 7, 2006 by Matt

I fixed up my photo gallery (I think when I updated the blogging software, the gallery plugin reset some stuff) and now my photo’s are back online (woohoo!). So feel free to take a look at my photos from my graduation. It was a grand day out! I was going to say it feels weird now that uni’s over, but it doesn’t. Anyway, here’s a pic of the cheesey “let’s throw our hats in the air!”

Challenge Complete: I Got A 1st!!!

Posted on July 1, 2006 by Matt

Got back from Mallorca at 7am this morning (I’m soo soo tired). I had a letter from Uni telling me I got a 1st in my Degree!!! Sadly, I was unable to do the skinny dipping on holiday cos it was far too dark and far too cold (so you would’ve have seen very little proof). I have decided to hold off on this one until I next go to Mallorca. I did put the silent P in ocean, in preparation for putting the silent P in swimming pool. I have to say, I enjoyed the experience. Peeing in the sea is very liberating!

Another Challenge Completed: Celebrity Handshaking

Posted on June 24, 2006 by Matt

Wahey! Things are going well! I’ve seen 3 celebrities in the past 2 days! I shoke only two hands and I only have proof of one handshake:

  1. The first major celeb (biggest of the lot infact) was Mr Bruce Willis!!! He of Die Hard fame! Yes, the one with the bald head and used to be married to Demi Moore. I took a few pictures, and I’ll whack them online after my holiday.
  2. The second semi-major celeb was… Sonic the Hedgehog! Ok, not quite a celeb, but still I thought I’d shake his hand as a back up. I have proof of this one, but Amy has the photo, so I’ll put up when she gets a chance to email it me.
  3. Jarvis CockerThe third and final celeb was Mr Jarvis Cocker. He of Pulp fame. The “Common People” singerer. I went to see him DJ last night and it was AWESOME!!!! The guy is leg end (aka ankle). James has loads of pics which I’ll put up when he sends them me, but sadly he was too starstruck when I shook Jarvis’s hand as he made his way to the toilet.

I’ll still keep my eyes open for more celeb handshaking opportunities, but for now I’m crossing it off my list! I’m off to Mallorca 2mz with Laura to go gatecrash my big bro and his fianceés place. I’ll be back next saturday with photo’s, stories and the obligitary sun burn – keepin’ it real for the Brits! See you in a week!

25 Challenges: The Tattoo and Pink for a Day Proof!

Posted on June 16, 2006 by Matt

I said a while ago I completed these two challenges but I’ve been waiting for Will to give the photo’s. Finally I have them and they should be uploaded into my gallery very soon (which seems to have cocked up since I last played with it. I’ll fix it at some point.) Anyway, proof number one of my tattoo!! Yes you can’t believe a good boy like me would ever get a tattoo!?! Well It’s true!

Yes I know I look like a twat in all of them, but I was quite merry!!! As for the pink… Well it turns out Will doesn’t have many clear pictures of the dress, but there’s one of the state of it at rhe end of the night…

Mix of the Month is offline!

Posted on June 8, 2006 by Matt

Apologies, I had to take all my music offline for the time being because my bandwidth has gone through the roof!!! I don’t wanna get in trouble. However I will put it up somewhere else so it’s still available.

Cover Number 1

Posted on June 6, 2006 by Matt

I’ve been listening to a heck of a lot of covers recently. Most of them are from Radio 1′s Live Lounge, a quality show! I thought I would share some of them with you over the next few days. Some of them are so utterly genius they deserved to be heard by the world!

First up may I introduce Elbow performing their version of Destiny’s Child’s Independent Women Part. 1. You’ve just got love the glockenspiel, trumpet and the guys broad accent singing “Girls I dint knoow yer cud get down lik that”
Listen ‘ere! Independent Women by Elbow (1.4Mb wma file)
