Movie 09

This is not hard at all. I had the privelege to watch this movie twice, once in 3D and the second time in 3D IMAX. It is amazing. There is just one word.

Gadget 09

Multimedia 09

This year, there are two things that I saved up for and wonder how I coped without them before. I know now that it was worth all the money to buy them both and yes this does mean that there are two AVJA gadgets of 2009. My laptop is the best laptop I could possible have. Its a Dell and it's blue. Who can say anything bad about that. Second is my wonderful moblie phone which cost me alot of money for such a small (yet brilliant) item. I love both of these and yes they are both AVJA gadgets of the year.

Television 09

I'm a big fan of different types of Television shows. Some of them are very American but the one I choose for 09 is definitely an English show. It has been on before with previous series, but this year was good. AVJA TV show of the year is Waking the Dead.

Daily Graphic 09

Daily Graphic 09

This Years Daily Graphic is just something of Publicity really, I want you to follow me when I post something new. So technically I want you to subscribe to my blog.

When I created this blog I wanted many people to read it, so it has always been my plan to create something that many people will enjoy. A couple of months ago I added the Subscribe Button to the left hand column of the blog. This button takes you to the Atom Version of Aaron's Blog where you can Subscribe in many ways using the CSS used to create each posts. This has always been available but I've never blogged about it before. It didn't take me too long to create the button, but it is in my eyes a true Graphic.

Game 09

Yep I work at a Toy shop, and the main area that I work in is called multimedia - in other words, I sell electronics and Games. So its not hard for me to choose a game that everyone has enjoyed. Nintendo Wii decided to release a game called Wii Sports Resort. It was intended to improve game play as they added something called the Motion Plus Sensor, which improved the sensitivity of the Wii Remote controller. This was a massive launch and other companies decided that the Motion Plus was the future of gaming and more games began to use this new technology. After its massive launch, Nintendo then decided that this was a basic necessity in the Wii Package and added it as a part of the Wii's boxed contents (they added the Wii Motion Plus and the Wii Sports Resort) and so without noticing that this was anything new, old and new Wii players enjoyed the Sports Resort game. It is by far AVJA game of the year (not Call of Duty :P)

Skoob 09

Skoob 09

This one took me a while, and I am still thinking that my choice could be incorrect. I do read alot, why, that is why I blog about it, and so it was difficult to choose one book for this years Book Of The Year. So because this is my blog and I make the rules I've decided that there is more than one book of 09.

Note that this is not Year of Release, but the Year in which I read these books. (Except Ghost Hunter)

Ghost Hunter - Michelle Paver

Brisingr - Christopher Paolini

Noman - William Nicholson

Song 09

Playlist 09

The song of the year was a difficult choice. With the big X-factor thing at the end of the year and Rage against the machines beating them at number one in the Christmas Charts... well, I didn't really like either of those songs much. For me there is only one winner. Remember this isn't a world wide choice, this is my choice and for the best song of 2009 I choose. 21 Guns - Green Day. The reason for this is simple, its in one of the best films of the year (Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen) and so it is AVJA Song of the Year.

You can simply YouTube it to find it or for a limited time it is the bottom song on my Spotify Playlist which is in the left hand column of this blog under You Can Find Me. I sure hope your enjoy the song too.

+Vert 09

+Vert 09


Over the year 2009 we have had some amazing adverts on the television. Some are just funny, the ones that stick in your head for weeks and the ones where you just have to say 'did you see that one?!?'

This year it was tough to find the best advert of 09, but one of them did stand out most of all. LEGO. Now I know its an old advert, just like the Aqua-Fresh advert and the Toys R Us advert, which also made a come back this year. I dont remember the LEGO advert, but it was definetly my favourite toy when I was younger. So I declare the LEGO advert, +Vert of the Year 2009.

And here it is.

Year End

The time of Christmas is hectic, especially when you have tons of work to do for uni just before the holiday period begins. This was me before I broke up from university on the 18th of December, since then I have been buying presents for everyone, spending time with family and most of all working. The break between Christmas and new year is usually a relaxing one for myself but I agreed to doing some extra hours at work. Of course I don't mind, it means more money for me, whereas on the other hand, I would just love to sit back and relax for a good week.

Christmas has been wonderful though, my parents bought me a new saxophone case (as my old one was falling apart), an electric shaver (which is just cool) and the Wii sports Resort game with the motion plus sensor. But I guess its not all about opening presents, its the giving that I love as well.

I know that my number of blogs this month have been bad, but it has been busy, and today I felt that it would be bad if I left a full month without a good blog and even worse if I didn't finish the year off with a couple of blogs too. Hopefully I will blog some interesting things tomorrow. Today all I can give you is words, but tomorrow there shall be a +Vert of the Year, Song of the Year, Book of the Year, Game of the Year, Daily Graphic of the Year, TV Programme of the Year, Gadget of the Year, Movie of the Year, Doodle Doo of the Year and Website of the Year. Then on the 31st (the last day of the year) I will write a reflection on the year as a whole.

I do hope you visit tomorrow and the next day for a whole range of interesting blogs. If you think you might forget; you can Subscribe to my RSS with the Subscribe button in the left hand column.

University Is Not Easy

But everything else is.

I have loads of work to do, but I can't say that I'm not enjoying it, because I really am. I've met some wonderful people who are great to get along with, the group work stuff has been fun and the large breaks between lectures are just top.

Now the first semester is coming close to an end. I've got like two weeks left. I have to hand in three assignments. Now the work load is very large for 10 days, but I'm feeling that I can get a lot done in that time.

On Friday I bought myself a new phone! To show off to you all I thought I would leave a nice picture to show you how wonderfully amazing it is.

Its great right? Well, I don't think I've put it down yet. Not good. Oh well. I love it.

Well, I best get back to writing about Learning Theories.

Fun

Self Portrait

SDC10012 

Yep, I’ve actually been drawing myself. It has noting to do with the work I need to get done for my uni assignments, but it was fun nevertheless. I enjoyed doing it. Self Portrait.

Uni is going well, I have about 5/6 assignments to be finished for the 18th of December so this week I've put on my organisation and working cap on. It is going pretty well actually, and I am enjoying the work. It is all creative and it is all on the computer, both of which I can handle as long as I don’t get myself drifted off on facebook, twitter and god of the internet knows what else.

I’m going to finish here because it is nearing the end of another day and I want to do a little more work before I go to bed.

Good night. Aaron, Laptop style (Windows Live Writer Tools) x
