The End of All Things
Well last week heralded my final exam and with it a lack of reponsibility for getting up at any sensible hour and doing anything of any importance. All that’s left to do now is get some celebrations underway and maybe even try to find a job of some kind.
Since the exam ended, we have played frisbee on the beach, gone out for meals, looked at the (in)Continental Market (which Scarborough held for a few days recently), I’ve written a 4 year overdue letter, had a barbeque on the clifftop and also discovered a newly opened Riley’s, which is utterly stunning. Riley’s is a pool/snooker club chain one of which has recently been built in Scarborough. Those of you that know ‘Spot On’ back in Kettering, well it isn’t a patch on that. There’s 2 floors which have proper sized snooker and pool tables, not the rubbish you get in pubs, they run tournaments and stuff and even run a waitressing service for those of you too engrossed in a game to walk a few paces to the bar to order. It all looks very polished and cool and it’s such a shame it wasn’t built before a few weeks before I leave!
You’d think that all of that would leave me in a stunning and relieved mood that it was all over with, but for various reasons it hasn’t and I’ve probably been a menace to live with, (for which I apologise) the past few days, sulking here and there in dark corners, clutching my new copy of Oblivion saying things like “Precious…”. That game would have ruined my life, it’s an utter timekiller, which is why I staved off the urge to get it until after my exam.
On to the things I’m looking forward to in the next few days; a lately planned house party which some of my friends that I invited 2 days before seem to be lame and say they can’t come at short notice. Still some select few think they can make it, so it should be good. Another thing that I’m looking forward to, is seeing Silent Hill finally. Just have to persuade Chris that he needs to take us all to York to see it rather than the regularly featured Futurist cinema. Andy in particular will know my enjoyment of what some would call mentally disturbed horror games such as this, and Tom should also appreciate Japanese horror films. Whilst what I know of this, is that it’s a Hollywood production, which I suppose makes sense, but the Japanese sure know their horror genre in my opinion.
