Firstly, as you may have noticed, the blog now looks different. It may change a few times in the coming hours, though. I like the old-paper kind of look, but not the old-fashioned wallpaper background. Makes it feel like an old lady's page... just a bit.
Anyways, imagine this:
Your family have just won the lottery. £10,000 is shared out between you, and the rest goes in the savings. What would you do with your share?
Tell me in the comments, but this is what I would do with mine:
Buy 2 laptops (one for work, one for personal), maybe a new computer (desktop computers ftw), a HD TV for my room, a PS3, maybe even an Xbox 360, an iPod Touch, get some good games, buy some posters and DVD's, and put the rest in my bank. I wouldn't want have everything I wanted, like every single game, or life would get boring. I don't want that.
Though, I would probably buy Camtasia Studio and Photoshop and stuff like that, and donate some to charity. There probably wouldn't be that much of it left, to be honest.
Now, if we were talking in Millions....

Barry Swotter and the Bad-Ass Nits (HP6 Review)
/!\ ALERT! This blog post contains spoliers. ALERT! /!\
Including HP7 spoilers.
Made the spoof name up off the top of my head. So sue me. It was originally Barry Swotter and the Last of the Mints, but that makes next to no sense.
Anyway, I went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince earlier today (wow, no surprise there), and, as you normally do after seeing a movie, I have some stuff to say about it, some good, some bad.
First off, they skated over the Dursley's again. Why have they been doing that recently? Well... maybe not in the last movie, but they missed them in the 4th. It's annoying when they do that, and I can't exactly explain why.
Secondly, they made it a bit obvious about some things. In the book, it wasn't revealed that Harry loved Ginny at all for a long time; Here, you can just tell by the way he hugs her at the beggining. They made the Hermione/Ron future relationship blatantly obvious, and the gave the Snape-is-a-double-agent-who's-pretending-to-be-a-double-agent-for-mouldy-Voldy-instead-of-Dubbledwarf thing a bit of a spotlight, too. (You could hear regret in Snape's voice when he Avada-Kadavra'd, he didn't treat Harry violently enough when he chased him, and Dumbledore gave a tiny, almost missable wink before Snape killed him.)
Big paragraph, sorry about that, know how you hate 'em.
I thought the start was a bit gloomy, but it was funny (at times) in the middle. Sad in the end. Many people cried. I didn't, but whatever. Felt cold, if that counts.
Also, I might be wrong here, but in my opinion it looked like alot of filming was edited out. The Harry hissy fit of You-let-Stinker-Snape-teach-when-he-told-Voldy-prophecy-that-turned-him-on-my-parents was ignored completely, as was Trelawney and the room of requirement.
Dubbledwarf is too serious.
"You have been reckless this summer, Harry." "O RLY?" "YA RLY, take mah wrist." "But mah dayte!" "Do wut I say, nub."
And the gloomyness at the start was a bit overkill, if you ask me. Especially the part where the camera's were flashing, and Harry was looking very sad. That failed, because when they recorded that his hair was flat, and in HP5 (the time the flashback should be) it's a little more ruffled.
I hate Harry's flat hair.
There's actually a lot of stuff they skated over in the film, although like I say, maybe it was too long. Hope they release an extended edition DVD. But there were no Defence Against Deadly Darts lessons. And in the Weasley Christmas scene, underage magic and no words were spoken! How did they learn that?
I hope the producers are reading this. It was a brilliant film, but alot of it was a bit... unstable with the facts of the book.
But they did kind of make up for it with the new christmas weasley scene, that was cool, even though it didn't look like Christmas. No snow. Or presents.
I hope they don't skate over as much in 7 & 8, or just 7, depending on whether it really will be split into two parts.
But overall, looking over all of the above, I thought it was a very good movie and enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm just one of those people who go nitpicking for mistakes. Can't help it.
Thanks for reading this review.
Some words you may not understand:
Barry Swotter = Harry Potter
Moudly-Voldy = Voldemort
Dubbledwarf = Dumbledore
Stinker Snape = Proffesor Snape, Harry. (Quote: Dubbledwarf, almost every book.)
Defence Against Deadly Darts = Defence Against Dark Arts
Oh, P.S: I loved, loved, LOVED the Pheonix Ending! Perfect way to close Barry Swotter's last year and Pigspots.
(+ Pigspots = Hogwarts)
The, END!
Of this blog post.
Erm....
Goodbye!

My Dream Youtube Blog Post
(This is fake and just what I'd really like to see one day.)
Hello Youtubians,
As you may well know, Google have recently sold Youtube to us, MadeUpName. You might be wondering what to expect from us.
Well, first off, we know how you're always asking for things to change and Google never takes any notice in what you're saying. So from now on, that's going to change. We'll have our eyes and ears open to any suggestions and feedback you're prepared to offer us.
Secondly, we're going to be bringing back features you've been missing. We'll give you the ability to swap between old and new channels at will (and before you tell us to get rid of the new ones entirely, there are some people who like them), we';; bring back bulletins and soon you should have the option to change the video from Widescreen to how it used to be.
Then, we'll be looking to add some new things, like allowing you to change the theme of the website, and the ability to add more modules to your profile. That's right, profile. Don't worry, you'll still have your channel, but now when you click a persons name, you'll be taken to their profile which will have modules, and a giant "Go to channel" button.
Lastly, when we get enough money, we'll be looking to remove advertisements and make more deals with WMG and UMG, so your videos don't get muted. Partnership will still exist, and Audioswap will also be available, along with annotations and everything else.
We're just aiming to put the "You" back in "Youtube".
Wouldn't that be the best thing that ever happened to Youtube? If anyone from Youtube staff is reading this, please take the giant hint. Not that we necessarily want you to sell Youtube to someone else who, let's face it, may fuck it up even more, but if you just did some of these things (I know you're hard pushed on the UMG/WMG deals) then people might stop hating you.
Thank you, and goodnight.
Oh wait, that doesn't work.... it's morning.... well goodnight anyway!

Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night
Straight to the blog title.
I'm pretty sure you've heard of that song, it's everywhere at the moment. And you know what? I hate it. It's so bloody repetitive.
But the thing is, I've got the blasted song stuck in my head. Don't you hate it when that happens? And the thing is, I've realised that it would go really well in a video (presuming Youtube didn't fucking mute it.)
I'm not going to use it, but when I finally get a laptop... well, I couldn't help but picture how it would go.
In the opening verse of "Tonight's gonna be a good night", I would have myself walking down a place in Runescape, in HD.
In the second verse of "Tonighr's gonna be a good night", I would have myself walking down somewhere in World of Warcraft.
When it got to the part of the song I found good (the middle, dancy bit) I would have flashes of Roblox, ChallengeYou, and all other sorts of good games I used to record (or were planning to) before I had to change computers.
And on the last few verses of "Tonight's gonna be a good night", I would have myself walking in Runescape and WoW again, and then when it ended I would put in text on the screen:
Kayblue10's Back.... Without Boundries.
But, hey, even when I do get a laptop, it isn't gonna be as epic as that. I'm not that skilled a video maker. (Looks down at the floor in shame.) This is just one of those "Video Fantasy's" I get.
And I still hate the song.

Summer So Far
It's been pretty ****ing good so far!
...owned by censor...
1st of the month. I've got a whole month and a bit before I go back to school. So, us Year 10's go back to school earlier than Years 8, 9, and 11, but Year 7's go back early too. It's to give us a bit of space, to get used to everything, before everything turns manic again.
Normally I'd complain about this, but as a Yea 7 I was excited about seeing the school and as a Year 10 I honestly think it'll come in handy.
Who are you and what have you done with Kristian?
Never fear :-) I'm trying to turn over a new leaf this year. I'm going to study hard, and do all my homework... GCSE's are already scaring me. I don't think I'll have many problems in History or English but I'm worried about ICT and terrified of Maths. Maths is compulsory...
Those aren't my only GCSE subjects, they're just the ones I remember. Bad, I know, but all I know is I never have Art again (YES!) Food Teck and normal Teck no longer exist for me (Sw33t, I suck at both types) and Mr. Frenchie teacher can kiss my butt goodbye!
I'm no sure about R.E. They said you have to take it (weak) but I didn't put it down. Maybe that was just extra R.E...
Anyway, this post is called "Summer so Far" not "A look into the future". So far, all I've been doing is going on the computer, eating, sleeping, drinking and reading. I know that makes me sound like super-nerd, but I've been spending alot of time with the family too and almost none of my friends live in my area.
But I'm enjoying it. It's the much needed break I wanted. The calm before the storm. Before everything turns into a flurry of essay's and deadlines.
