Back to the school!

You know what school means?  More blog posts, that's what it means!  It means routine, it means organisation, and it sometimes means doing anything other than work.  Happily for all of us (except maybe some haters, but they gonna hate), updating the ol' blog falls cleanly into the latter category of those above thingies.  At the moment, I am definetely doing work, and not updating my blog.  This is just some kind of awesome, omniscient virus that is trying to help everyone have more good.

In recent news Yasmin Levi Miller created / updated her blog.  Here at daveisgreatallthetime.blogspot.com, we believe that competition is great, becuase it helps us to maintain being the best bloggin community and fanbase ever. (7 is officially a fanbase.)  Anyways, as great as young Miss Levi-Millers blog is, and as much as us bloggers have to stick together, and as much as I'll probably read it as she (again probably) updates it daily, there is a competition in my mind, between my blog and hers.  She doesn't know about the competition, so we are winning.  Go team Dave is great all the time!

I'm adding a poll in the side so that you lovelly people can help me decide what to spend my Christmas monies on.  The options would seem to be (and feel free to select more than one):

- A  4x Zoom rifle scope attachable to all NERF guns with tactical slides. (£17)
-  The night-vision goggles which were originnaly shipped with the big mega version of Modern Warfare 2 (£40)
- Nike ID's (£65)
- Something sensible and lame.

Personally, a rifle scope on a nerf gun is awesome, owning night vision goggles (let alone using them) is awesome, Nike ID's are awesome, but are just trainers in the end, and my mum thinks I should buy something 'I actually want' (ie. Is not a toy.)

Those of you who have the joy of doing Applied I.T will know that Mr. Holiday took over from Mr. Chadwick today.  He's a decent chap, seems to vaguely like video games and cool things, but is proffesional and chap-ish enough to give the impression he's not one of those World of Warcraft obsessive type I.T teachers, who are a bit out of touch.  He got a big track for Christmas, and says he might bring it into school.  On the downside, he doesn't tolerate kazoo playing in class (reasonalbe enough) and claims that MineCraft is a game about 'shooting blocks' (seems to have had a bad experience involving his base becoming flooded, which is a bit silly becuase it's easy to fix).  Anyways, he's a cool chap and I forsee many good lessons to come.  And yes, there were plenty of 'Have a nice holiday sir?' type jokes, which I'm tempted to recycle after weekends, if I can maybe manipulate the phrasing to quickly present the weekend as a regular two day holiday.  A challenge indeed.

Excitingly, just a few minutes ago I stuck my finger into a live light fixing, something I don't really remember my reasoning on.  I'll probably be sneezing radioactive laser juice by morning.

All in all, schools seeming pretty bright and cheery.  I have decided to smile more, not as an actual change to my character, but merely as a way of externally displaying the optimistic demeanor which I like to think is synonymous with my charcater. 

Well, that's about enough self-appraisal for one day.  See you all in the week for some cheer-spreading goodness.  I like these little dashy thingy-whatsits.
