It’s getting nearer and nearer to Christmas so I thought I’d post a little blog to keep everyone happy… well, myself happy that is.
As you can see, to be a part of the festive spirit, I’ve modified my websites Wordpress theme, (made originally by myself of course), in order to commemorate the season of happiness, giving and well designed and thought out Wordpress themes, obviously.
So happy Christmas from all of us here at stevenknight.info… well, from Steven anyway, there’s only me here.
Oh and as a side note, I’ll be getting my lovely new Dell Studio 15 one week from today; so that means that I’ll be back to my usual, happy and regular blogging self by then.
See you soon, Steven.

It’s been some time since I’ve posted a blessay on my precious little blog – mainly because I’ve been very busy with 6th Form work and haven’t found a spare two hours to do so. However, I thought seeing as it’s been around three weeks and that I have lots to write about, that I should write a blessay.
So, where should I start? Well, my last post was about the weekend of brilliant television. I thoroughly enjoyed myself – I got prepared by buying copious amounts of Coca Cola and Kettle Crisps to gorge myself on whilst the programs were flowing effortlessly into my bedroom. It was brilliant. The main two programs that were on that weekend were the Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars and the new series of Top Gear. Doctor Who was actually brilliant; I was going to post a review of it but I lost track of time and now it’s too overdue to write one. But it was brilliant, wasn’t it? The tenth Doctor’s story is ending and I cannot wait for the Christmas special. Speaking of which, you can watch the preview for The End of Time that was released during Children in Need below.
I would embed this with my own video player – but I’m currently uploading something.
So yeah, that weekend was a very good one for amazing television, but soon we’ll all be graced with the pinnacle of television seasons: “Christmas tele”. Christmas television is that one thing that I’m sure everybody, no matter how young or old, looks forward to this time of year. There is something for everybody and it really does allow the whole family to just sit down and watch something, while the grandparents are sleeping in their chairs, while parents are preparing Christmas dinner, while the children are playing on their new toys and while people like me are writing a new blog about the presents and memories of that Christmas. Last year I posted the BBC’s trailer for “This Christmas on BBC One”, so I thought I’d do the same for this year as well.
Drama on BBC One this Christmas.
Comedy on BBC One this Christmas.
Looks fantastic, doesn’t it? I really cannot wait. Other television news includes the triumphant return of Scrubs, which is now in it’s ninth season. You can read more about the changes at a post I made earlier. One of the changes that I will mention now is the new opening title sequence, which you can watch below.
Anyway, enough about television, what has happened in my life that’s worth noting? Not much really, if I’m honest. I’ve been up to my neck in 6th Form work, it’s always in the back of my mind that I have something to do; and most of the time, I do it.
Last weekend I went to Milton Keynes for some ice skating amongst other things with some friends, specifically Luke, Ben, Kyle, Helen and Lauren. It was very fun actually – you can see all of the pictures on my Facebook profile. Now, I thought I was brilliant at ice skating, (why wouldn’t I be?), but apparently all I seem to do is furiously move my arms to go really fast, then stop myself by crashing into the barriers. Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be done? Well, I think it is anyway. Then we went for a well earned drink in Starbucks, I went for my usual Caramel Coffee and a muffin, which was then followed by shopping, including the Apple Store – which we were all in love with, playing with the new Magic Mouse and iPhone 3GS’s.
Something else I haven’t said, I’ve sold my reliable laptop of two years, my Dell Inspiron 6400, I mean, do… did love that laptop because it was my first proper laptop of my own, but it’s time to move onto bigger and better things. Well, when I say bigger and better… I mean smaller and faster because my new laptop is a lovely Dell Studio 15, (picture one and picture two), which I’ve always wanted because it is the mid-range Dell, (in between the Inspiron and XPS ranges ). However, I do play by the rules of Christmas, meaning that I cannot get my laptop until Christmas day – which is why in the mean time I have to use a very, very old Dell desktop tower in the mean time, which is painful to use, but it will do me just fine.
Now, Christmas is fast approaching and I need money in order to buy friends and family presents; so Clear:Both is working alongside Initial Sketch this Christmas in order to do just that. We have our first joint client of the season next week, so that should get the ball rolling.
Nearer to Christmas I will try and get out a special Christmas blessay like I did last year, and I’ll try not repeat the same messages and things that I went over last year.
Enjoy the run up to Christmas, Steven – Administrator.
