BenJen's Blog

Welcome to my blog. A place where you may not find consistency, but where you will find various rants and irrelevant anecdotes, and 'witty' text on the subject of whatever crops up into a poor student's mind.
Please, do try to enjoy it... Constructive criticism is more than welcomed.

Have a nice day now, chaps and chappettes.

Warning: May contain traces of football, video games, and musical ramblings... It's mostly the latter, in truth.

GoAnimate. Again.

When I get bored, I’ll do one of two things. Picture this as a flow diagram. In fact, no no, I’ll make one for you. I’m now going to go draw up some terrible flow diagram to help illustrate my point, on Microsoft Word. Luckily you won’t experience the massive delays that I’m experiencing, as you don’t have to fucking make the damned thing. Apologies for that outburst, it won’t happen again – I fucking promise. Shit. Right then, diagram complete, it’s time to show this bad boy off! ‘Bad boy’ because it’s bad, of course.

I understand that this is a little on the small side. I'm ever so sorry, but there was a formatting cock up when moving from Windows Live Writer to Blogger's own integrated post-writing tool.

As you can see, sleep is a pretty likely option for me. I’d calculate a percentage, but I’d doubtless get it wrong. Sleep is great – so much so that I now don’t really do much of it at night. I save it for the day! The above flowchart in sexy blue is not entirely representative of what happens when poor little Ben gets bored though. Sometimes other options will crop up, and today is one of those times. These times are fucking awkward, being exempt from the flowchart. Ideally the flowchart would be all-encompassing, but I guess that’d be a bit boring, and so the vicious cycle begins.

Back to reality though folks. I rediscovered the GoAnimate internet software that partners YouTube today; meaning I must be craving the act of creating shoddily animated and poorly voice ‘acted’ videos. No, no, no, I don’t understand myself either. I know what you’re thinking though, thinking aloud, screaming “Ben, Ben, what did you make?!” with excitement and anticipation only equalled by that of Rafael Nadal when he realises that Andy Murray is indeed very Scottish and so subsequently has an easy route to the Wimbledon men’s final. Something like that, no? No? I see. Too bad, ‘cause here’s what I made:

Savannah Rhyming

I’d tell you to enjoy it, but that would simply be demanding the impossible. My video will either demonstrate my video-making talents in the face of adversity (shite software), or simply how shite the software is.

You stay classy, San Diego interwebs.
