Just Chill.

Well, this blog post is actually a few days late. I meant to put this up two or three days ago, but I couldn't be bothered doing the crap I'd need to in order to get this video up here.


Basically, Bruno had been pawing at the door and so I leashed him up and took him into the garden. Only, once out there, he decided to plop down into the grass and fall asleep. I looked at him and thought, well, that lucky bastard. If only I could do that too, you know?


And then I figured, why the hell not? No one's stopping me. The grass is green and clean (I hope), it's a hot summer day, why on earth shouldn't I lie down in the grass next to my dog and just chill?


Well, I'm not stupid. I headed in, grabbed an old cushion and my camera, and then came back out and slept in the grass next to Bruno, my head nicely cushioned, the rest of me at the mercy of whatever bugs were out there.

We stayed out there for ages. It was actually quite nice. Birds flying overhead (I genuinely prayed none would shit on me), Bruno trying to do a full turn (he managed it!), and myself just making sure the dog stayed in the camera's frame. 

In other news, exams have been going okay. I'm not failing, at least, so there's that. *grin*

I've got Physics tomorrow, Mechanics on Thursday, and then the final Biology exam on the following Wednesday. I've high hopes for the Physics paper (I have genuine feelings of love for this one. It's just such a nice paper, you know?), not so high for Mechanics, but I'm working on it. And Bio? Bah. Bah, I say.

My fanfiction days have dwindled to nothingness. I blame the exams, of course, and other stressing issues. I fully plan to get back to it as soon as the 1st of June is over. That's the day, after all, that high school officially ends for me.

Also, I've gotten back into watching some anime. Not the usual romantic drivel I used to favour. Nowadays, I'm watching stuff like Deadman Wonderland, The Blue Exorcist and Sekai'ichi Hatsukoi.

Of these, Deadman Wonderland is actually very gore-y, but also very, very good. Really makes you think, wince, feel and all. The Blue Exorcist is pretty funny. You burst out laughing in the very first scene.

And Sekai'ichi Hatsukoi is by the same group that did Junjou Romantica, so I'm watching it out of loyalty to them. And, it's really really cute. =3

And really, I should be studying. But screw it. I can't be assed.

Ta.

Do Bow, Dear Sir.

Yesterday, while I was meant to be studying for my Biology/Maths exams, I felt like I needed to do something productive. Yes, yes, studying is productive, I suppose.


It is also tearfully dull.


So. I decided to train Bruno to do something, since I haven't trained him past any of his usual tricks. He can sit, go down, heel, come, and more recently, sleep and bow.


I taught him Sleep about a month ago, when I had another of these I'm-so-bored fits. Yesterday, I taught him how to bow. It took me a while, but I maintain that he is the smartest dog in the world - he got what I was trying to teach him pretty quickly, really. I'm quite proud that he remembered the command today as well. I think eventually, I'll turn it into a whole martial-arts sequence. Make him bow, and then go into combat. That sounds cool, no?


The video I've put up was taken today - this morning, in fact. You can see for yourself how well he's learnt. There were a few hiccups, of course, and I had to repeat a couple of commands - but do bear in mind that he is, in addition to being intelligent, hopelessly stubborn. Stubborn enough that you have to literally drag him out of a room via his rear legs if he decides he's too lazy to stand up and move himself.


And. Mum says to please ignore the laundry in the back. I think it proves we're a normal household, but apparently not. *shrugs* Up to you.

Enjoy.

In other news, Physics went alright. You know how you think you did pretty well, and then people start talking about it and you're like, "uh, shit. I'm failing"?


Yeah, well. My advice? People. Stop, for the love of all things ice-cream-related, talking about the exams. The paper's over. There's no need to make the rest of us feel so shitty.


Recently, I wrapped up some loose ends with some old friends. We'd been in an argument in which I was in the wrong. I wrote a massive apology though, sent it, and all seems to be well. I'm glad. I'd really prefer not having any enemies or such when I leave for Uni. Fresh start and all that.


Anyway. Biology beckons.
