Welcome to suburbia

Yesterday I moved from 79 Cranbrook Avenue to 500 Inglemire lane to live for the next 3 months.
The packing of my old room actaully went swift in 3 hours I had everything boxed up and out of the place. It always boggles me that when you think you don't have that much stuff in a room how much it actually is. And this is just basic stuff and the stuff I collected here over a year.
I moved in now for a day and it's a bit adjusting because the walks to uni are a bit longer but also to the pubs. I now need to walk for about 15 minutes to get a pint instead of 5. So I kinda am getting a bit more of movement then I had before. The other thing is the house I am living in now is a lot smaller so that's gonna be a big adjustment as well.
The the nice thing though is that this neighborhood will be a bit more secure than the last one I lived in. This house is smack in the middle of a suburb.

Birthday and Shaders

So last Friday i held my birthday party here at Cranbrook Avenue, it actually turned out to be a better party than i had expected. I got so drunk that i cant even remember the last part of the evening, its all a blur now. And to finish the birthday we went to a metal club last night, which is always good as the drinks there are cheap.

On another note i have been doing a bit of shader programming and here is a screen shot of a procedurally colored terrain:

Ice Hockey

Next week I have to match to play.
One is in New Castle where we are going on Tuesday, match time is at 00:00. On the bus back we are gonna have the skinny man drinking contest which is going to be a good laugh. The contest consists of an endurance drinking race, its who can down the most bottles. The contest is between our two skinniest members of the team.
Then on Friday we have normal practice and on Sunday there is another away match.

A week of parting and partying

This week was a week of say goodbye, because all the students that are here on Erasmus scholarships are going home. So we had a goodbye party for Peter a Polish friend of mine on Tuesday, which actually turned out to be a good party.
Friday was the birthday of another friend of mine, which we celebrated in Spiders, the only metal club in town here. And they were actually playing good music this time not too much gothic and more metal. We all got very drunk there, price for shots and cocktails there are ridiculously cheap.
And last night there was a major house party, it was organized to celebrate the end of exams, which we did in style. Good party we came in and after a few minutes a couple of guys were already dragging in a Christmas tree to burn it in the back yard.

This week I'll put my game up for download, i still have to figure out how to run it on other pcs. So when that is done I'll put it up for download with some description of the controls.

So we'r back

I have been in the UK for a week and a half again, I just couldn't find time to post earlier. Preparing for an exam i had took up most of my time.
About the exam I am not so sure if I passed it I hope I will because it was kind of a strange exam. The problem is in how i wrote stuff down, it's kinda hard to structure your answers in a different language when you have a time constraint for writing it.
Ice hockey has started again, today was the first practice and it was a good one. I was kinda dreading on going there but I had a really good time so I am glad I joined the team. We are going to enter a league here so that means I am going to play competitions in a lot of places in the UK. Finally I am going to see something from the UK, without having to do too much effort for it.
Last night was the first party like night, drank too much vodka there but that's what you get when you go drinking with Polish people. Tomorrow is the first house party of the year and I am looking forward to it.
Now I only have to write two reports, do a presentation and design a poster and next semester will begin again. Which will probably mean I'll be talking about coding again and party's, oh I will also keep track of how we do in the league here.

Long overdue post

Ok this post is long overdue and it's about all the crazy stuff thats going on on Fridays over here.
This story starts on halloween when we got invited for a party that on the last minute didn't happen. Lucky for us there was another party going on somewhere else. When we walked in to this party, of course we weren't invited but who cares, there were only girls there so we felt well this is gonna be a good night. After we were in for 5 minutes this girls comes up to use and starts yelling at us we we weren't dressed up, and what we were doing there. This lasted for a bout 10 minutes and afterwards we actually had a good laugh with her. This night ended a bit weird though.

The next party was that friday at asylum the night lub an campus it was an ISA party, you know the society that signed me up by having a party, good way to get members though. This was a weird night as well as i couldn't get drunk that night and I was drinking double vodka shots. In retrospect though i might have switch to hard liquor to early that night.
To continue the next week we crashed a party again, he sounds like we are getting good a this thing here. This party turned out to be a birthday party, we a group of about 20 people just walked in and started drinking. Here one of my friends try to climb a wall, more accurately what happened was he walked into the wall. He ran up to it and jumped but couldn't get high enough so he sacked into the wall.
This is also the night the legend of the giraffe was born. See picture blow the guy eating the leaves.

Then finally we come to two weeks ago this was a crazy night as well, also the most expensive one I have been on here. 7 quid 50 for 2 shots of brain hemorrhage. This was just basicly a pub crawl that ended up at some friends house were I saw the greats pile of dishes ever.

As you can tell i don't really remember everything that happens on Friday nights here but thats just because we start to early.

St. Patrick's day

I think I made some plans yesterday to be in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.

Dave (an Irish course mate) invited some of us to come over to Ireland on St. Patrick's Day to get hammered for a week.

Irish pub


I went out to an irish pub last night. It's totally different from back home. As we have a mix of old and young people in these bars here they only have old people in em on saterday. Besides they even listen to some sleepy music.
After the irish pub i went to a bar were only people from the age 30 to 40 go. It's funny to see a totally different crowd that has a night out here.
