Shakespeare

I was partially tempted to get up early tomorrow with Hazel and see if someone was too ill to go on the trip to Stratford with my old school. I'm not going to for a number of reasons. 1: too early, 5 am is not prime Liz time; 2: I have to make Hazel's thesquirrelrebeillion video tomorrow and 3: I have to go to the doctors tomorrow for my itchy horrible skin.

I left James' house and came back home today. I'm not going to see him until we go back to Uni on the 12th because of the train strike. STUPID TRAIN STRIKE. :(

The train rides home weren't too bad, I had my booked seats and my DS and mp3 player. This was fine until the battery gave up 30 mins from home in the middle of a Greg Holden song!

Mum met me at the station and we drove straight to TESCO to buy Hazel snackage for her trip in the morrow.

I gave my family the things I'd got them from New York and ate some lovely carbonara.

Haze came in from guides and we managed to laugh ourselves silly over the Tudor Rose advert and the Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom videos that she hadn't seen.

I found out that Mrs GB really does think the world will end if we don't put worms back in the mud and that Kivvy's mum has died... D:

I really should have a bath and go to bed soon. My big empty bed.

Ta'ra!

Series OVER

We've finished FotC series 1. It's thoroughly recommendable.

I go home tomorrow, on the train, I like train journeys. I like home. I sure hope the trains run well enough next week for James to get up to Durham.

James and I are both eating toffee, from a box that Lynn bought for James' Dad Chris for Valentines but decided he couldn't have that AND a new mobile. So the toffee is for us.
Nommington!

This week the b3ta QOTW is about cleanliness. It's addictive reading and makes me feel MUCH better about Beth and our own kitchen quandaries.

Going to post now as any more rambling from me will have both of us (you and I) asleep.

Bye!

Sexymacaroni

Is taking a break for an undefined period of time.
All us girls have agreed that while there are only 3 of us able to make videos it wouldn't be fair or as fun to carry on.
Maybe we'll call it season 2 when we return?

Flight of the Concords, series 1, is amazing. The Lord of the Rings music video (of which the song I'd never heard as it isn't on the CD) is just phwoar.

Hazel just informed me via text that the Johnson school have Dyson Airblades.
This is unfair.

FlashForward tonight!

I can hear Belle's bell jingling as she scratches, n'awww.

Toodle Pip!

Semi-Aniversary

6 months today ladies and gentlemen.

We spent a fair quantity of today watching Heroes, QI, The Bubble, Southpark and playing Pokémon.

I love James Christopher Andrew Schorah.

Steps

This was amazing!

We got the train to Wigan today and walked all the way to Haigh Hall and back, for the exercise, for something to do, for the view and the lovely weather and to train James' pokémon. Well over 12,000 steps.

Once I went to see Steps (the band) live, I loved it at the time, I got a foam hand that's in the first ever Hazelizabeth I think!

The b3ta image challenge last week created some truly amazing images. If you have time check out the "most popular".

This is all I have to say.

Toodles readers.

Sculpture

Today James and I got the train into Liverpool so we could go to the Tate.

There was a wide range of articles on display, mainly sculpture though.

I adore being able to recognise work by people I've either seen before or have studied in Art History.

Antony Gormley, Arman, Degas, Arp, Ron Mueck, Keith Edmier, Matisse, Léger and more, many many more.

James purchased Pokémon HeartGold today, the day of release.

There might be banana bread and butter pudding in a bit.

Nomnomnom.

Niiiight.

Specifics

I don't want to prey on this too much, but it's what I've been reading this evening and it affects me too, even as a minor in this whole thing.

Ben Carr wrote this and then Tom Milsom wrote this.
(Alex also posted comments on Ben's that make an interesting response.)

I think the "youtube community" is whatever you want it to be. So I won't call it that because it no longer functions like one. I personally have made many friends through it. Some UK people at SitC (the Lewis sisters particularly) some UK people online (mainly Alex Day) and then IRL (SitC/other) and various US ladies who are magnificent and I very much hope I will meet at some point in my existence. There are other people I've never met but respect and we exchange comments on most videos (Barry Aldridge and BillTVMacon).
I love those who produce content that makes me laugh or admire but especially those who come across as "human". I love the personal touches, the niché music or the pure talent.

Bah, I'm a special case and I'm going to shut up soon, the numbers don't matter to me, they're nice and most people deserve more views (from other good people, not from trolls) but it's the entertainment factor that keeps me watching and the people that keep me commenting and the friends that keep me producing (mainly Hazel tbh).

ANYHOW

Today included bacon sandwiches, an omelette, a white magnum and beans/sausage/mash. It also held James up a ladder fixing guttering, a poem from his Year 3 class (it's about bumblebees) and a trip to visit James' Grandad where we watched Rosemary and Thyme and Pointless.

Right about now James is happy because he now has a charger for his DS (it arrived in the post today).

Ta'ra!

San Pedro

Where chocolate is imported through. We're watching a show about it and my laptop battery is down to half charge already!

The internet here at James' house is MENDED!

The last few days have flown by but entirely housebound as James has NOT BEEN WELL!

D:

Lots of POKéMON and Flight of the Conchords.

I don't feel like typing much, I apologise if you wanted to hear from me in detail.

Oh and if anyone was wondering, thesexymacaroni are taking a week off!

Toodles.

Sneaky

Sorry about this temporary hiatus.
I have had plenty  to write about and yet no real internet connection.

James' sky box just isn't producing the goods and so I'm connected to a very low very weak netgear signal!

On Friday night we went to do our washing, all was fine apart from a slight over packing of the drier resulting in damp clothes that at 2 am we just did not want to sit around for to re dry!
Back in my room we rigged up a washing line (footage probably to appear sooner or later in a video).

So, Saturday should have just been "get up, go to James'", simple.
When we awoke we had the task of taking down all the crazy amounts of hung up clothes and swapping the things on the radiator for the stragglers that were still damp!
At about 10 in the morning I got an unknown number calling me, clearly from their bag as it was just background people noise. I text them to ask and find out who they were and it was Heather Long.
I had a shower which was lovely but as I stepped out of the bathroom I felt, as I explained later to James, " a bit woozy". I went to lie down on the bed and thought after a while, all is fine.
I went back in the bathroom in a bit to fiddle around with the drain (I thought this was necessary at the time, now I blame my woozyness) as I was doing this I felt even more woozy, or indeed "faint". I sat on the loo.

Next thing I know I'm waking from blackness hanging sideways off the loo! I staggered to my bed 'til the spinning stopped. I just lay there 'til I felt reasonable but had to carry on with my packing. This means that although I intended to leave a very tidy room, I haven't.

Soon though I wheeled my (crazy heavy) bag over to James' and his parents came to take us to his. We stopped on the way home at "The Colliers Arms" for lunch. I felt dead weird as I got out of the car, took some fresh air then realised my appetite. The beef and onion hot baguette I had was divine and made me feel 90% better again. The other 10 returned once I'd slept much later.

The cats were welcoming and James was greeted by a new bed in his room with a new desk area too. It's well swish but I'll let him blog about that.

Sunday, yesterday, was a typical. first day of the holidays. Except for the lack of internet.
Throughout the day we ate:
banana cake
yoghurts
steak pie
stuffed peppers (with reggae reggae sauce mince)
and drank a load of fruit juice.

We played a variety of games on various systems too.
I played the first third of a game called "Portal" on the xbox and found the controls very difficult.
James took over when I started to find it too hard and then proceeded to complete the game so I could hear the song on the credits. (It was awesome!)
I played the entire first level of Halo on the xbox too on easy but I was pretty proud of myself.
We played the Zelda Spirit Tracks download and play game, which is well fun, but then James' DS battery gave up and because it's an original one and not the "lite" like mine, we have different chargers. He cannot find his so that put an end to that.
Pokémon on my DS and Pikmin on the gamecube were both undertaken too.

Alongside this we watched a catch up episode of FlashForward that is starting again tonight and the entirety of the film Marley and Me which was endearing but not massively hilarious. Also, that dude's nose just infuriated me, it's all I could look at.

So now it's now, 8:26am on Monday. I have to try and remember to post my sexymac video later but that will all depend on whether I get to SEE the other ones first with this connection that cuts out AND if while uploading it stays connected because in the last half an hour it's been on and off something rotten.

So James has fallen back asleep because he woke up this morning feeling "not good". This does not bode well for going into town today to get the condensed milk etc. for making fudge. We shall see how this unfolds.

Strange assortment of lamps and clothes

Our life drawing model didn't turn up so we had a very different session drawing some hastily prepared models that were made from various clothes, bits of thing and inexplicably just a bucket, sat there, at the edge.

Today was a good day, on the whole. But my Nutella that I only just put back in my cupboard yesterday is gone. So were all of my practically FULL pack of peas from the freezer. This meant that tea tonight went pealess.

My hazelizabeth video is saving, we're going to do our washing much later tonight so I have clean underwear to pack for going to James' tomorrow. My laptop is already packed away!

James is currently playing his bass behind me and it's rather soothing.

Much better than the very very loud spotify playlist AJ has blasting out.

Is there anything I need to pack that you think I'll have forgotten?

x

Someone forgot...

... to defrost chicken. It was me really, as James never remembers.

We ate out.

This morning I met up with Alice and Hannah (from my PinE lab group) and we headed off to the bike road into campus so we could observe people on bikes and whether they were Male/Female, wearing helmets or not and/ or wearing flouro-high vis stuff or not. It was over pretty fast because it was a prime time for people on bikes to be coming onto campus.

After this I had some time just chilling. James came up for lunch and we watched this "The Cloud Experiment" van set up outside while I cooked noodles for us. I found out later that this is an ice cream van. Matt was in the kitchen again, HE DOESN'T LIVE THERE.

I restarted my pokémon game today because my old one was terrible and everyone is talking about the new heart gold and soul silver ones.

I had a SSAGO exec meeting this afternoon too.

Now we're going to watch Red vs Blue on youtube.

NIGHT

Sorted

I've been tidying since half 8 this morning.
I'm not sure why I have SO MUCH stuff in my room here at Uni.

Now it's nearly half 5 and it's only half complete!

I found some pita bread but that said they're ok til the 27th April so I whipped them open for an egg sandwich.

I've finally listened through some podcasts too which is very good.

We had a strange Cajun chicken sauce from "home and bargain" for tea. (James' Mum calls it this wrongly but as she bought us the sauce a while ago then I thought I'd call it that) ((Also, it gives me an excuse to tell you how silly I found this.))

S'all for today, going to brush my teeth to get rid of the odd lingering taste.

I keep hitting the wrong keys and upsetting James' music so I'll scootch off the laptop now.

Night.

Scratched

Would you believe it? Cars wouldn't bliddy play. We took the disk out after it had made strange noises for too long and looked at it and it's rather scratched. This saddens me. It'll probably still work in a proper dvd player though.

My studio is all sorted, I took most of the stuff off my walls and just piled it up on my desk because then it's much better presented. I even sewed some paper together into a book, not much, it's only a small one, but it reminded me of the ones we'd done at embroidery and how I should probably make all of my notebooks by hand.

Both of our Psychology bits today were about knowing how to act in situations and where we get this knowledge from. It wasn't too dull and provided interesting discussions in our seminars where we had to provide as much as we knew about both Katie Price and Gordon Brown.

Easter Quiz night at SSAGO tonight. That's after James and I finish off the mince from yesterday that filled two massive peppers with plenty to spare. It was scrummy.

Soooo, as I can't go in the studios tomorrow (due to them marking) I feel that I should put my attention towards my room, tidy, sort, fold, pile, re-arrange, vacuum, clean and pack etc. Also, I should probably go put a wash on and leave my towels fairly clean before I go home.

Going to clean and repaint my nails now like the girl I am.

They will be Harry Potter crest flavour.

:D


Oh and this is awesome:

Security breach

I've just ordered the "I look better in purple" tops that Charlie is selling. Pretty spiffy. I adore purple and I want to get it back in my wardrobe. That's why the two tops I bought in New York were purple.

Art History was nearly all summary today and a lot of group discussions. This made the time go faster so all in all it was a good thing!

My hyacinth plant has gone brown on the tips... It's been behind the curtain and because it has no flower I've completely neglected it... I think I have to water it for the bulbs to regrow next year so I'll just quickly do that... I can't bring it home over Easter though due to training it so it'll probably just fully die then.

I've worked on my art quite a bit today, experimenting and planning. I have to do some wall arranging tomorrow but then just leave it so it can be marked on Wednesday.

We've been sent an email that is reprimanding someone in Slaidburn for leaving and/or forcing the doors to stay open. This has been evident but I thought it was a fault in the system and not that someone was doing it maliciously. GRARGH.

Well, I should finish this off because I need to buy peppers so that James and I can do STUFFED PEPPERS for tea! Scrummy.

Reeto, bye.

P.S. We didn't watch Cars last night... tonight? Who knows!?

Sunday (it really is/was!)

Avatar was good. I'll admit I was captivated by the storyline and totally in tune with the characters that were good and properly in hate with the bad guys. The luminescence was insane and very pretty.

Energy drain from sitting through such a long film hit and so I had one of the best nights of sleep in ages.
I was just SO comfortable I didn't want to get up, but we did and watched Heroes.

Today disappeared in the way that Sundays do, with a bit of work, watching videos online (the end of Skins) reading blogs, getting a phonecall from Nana, reading the B3ta newsletter and napping.

We've got the other burgers tonight (not pork and apple like last night that were VERY good) just beefy ones. So I guess we'll be back over to James' to cook them and I'll try and get him to watch Cars, maybe, at last?

(/Note: We were going to watch Cars over the Christmas holidays... see it's 3 months later and we still haven't!)

James is asleep right now though so I'm being quiet and waiting for Hazelizabeth to upload!

All is well that ends well and this weekend looks like it will end well.

This coming week brings our last Art History lecture (we have a final essay to write over Easter), at some point doing a final wash before the holidays, vacuuming (which I dislike having to tidy for) packing, writing, hopefully reading and sleeping. No films at the cinema so I think we'll watch through some dvds but then leave them at Uni for family to pick up when they bring us back (because adding them to my train luggage would be silly). I've already put the books for Hazel (PT and BMB) in my bag so that I don't forget em.

Other things of note are bound to occur and I endeavour to keep you all (*cough*) updated.

Bye y'all.

Soundtrack

We're currently listening to all of the Halo (you know, the xbox game) soundtrack. It's actually pretty awesome, there is rarely singing and most of it is just ethereal instrumental relaxing music. Every now and then though you get a very sinister sequence that makes me feel like I'm being pursued or some such event.

We're having Saturday afternoon relax time after coming back from town. We only did a minor shop as we won't actually need much before the weekend, and that is the end of term. We've bought some fresh burgers and mince from the butchers which should be very interesting and hopefully scrumptious.

To be honest, this morning, before setting out, we did very little. The very little included making the 5 minute mug cake from facebook and watching The Bubble. Both which needed very little effort but were activities of merit.

Tonight is Avatar in 2D at the Uni cinema and I'm reet looking forward to it. We're going to MAKE SURE we get there early as to obtain our seats. OUR seats as in the same two we pretty much always sit in. It's great, but much less comfortable than the actual cinema. Ah well.

I'd quite like to watch a load of youtube videos now but as we've got the soundtrack on I shan't.

Cheerio readers!

SO GOOD

Said in the style of Teen Girl Squad.

So last night was comedy night and it was fantastic.
We did turn up a bit too early but it meant we got any seat we wanted (we picked the third row). The warm up act was a singer/song writer called John and he played a few Coldplay songs, Teenage Dirtbag AND a mash up song of Busted - Year 3000 and Sweet Home Alabama which was awesome.
Jimmy McGhie was our "compare" which just meant he had three small sets around the other two amazing acts Andi Osho and Jon Richardson.

Jon made a joke up on the night he said he'd probably forget about Richard Dawkins testing us, just like God. It was funny when he said it (I've shortened it down).

That ended rather late (for an event and for us as we're not the type to stay out late, like, ever) and so at half eleven we headed to bed.

This morning I had life drawing from 9 til 11 were we only did the warm up and one sustained drawing which I'm really proud of but I forgot to take a photo so it's not inserted here.

After that I hung around until I got too hungry and then went and bought a sandwich and watched a program that Mum had recommended.

At tea time I made "Chinese chicken noodles with peas" skipping out the garlic and bacon part. It was well good, especially as Andrew and his girlfriend, Tom and Matt were all eating takeaway Chinese and Adam was sat there with the unscorched part of his Pizza.

OH, in good other news our kitchen is finally tidy and clean again!

This evening we saw the film "Where the Wild Things Are" it was consistently sad but utterly beautiful.

"We could have a smartboard that is like an LED tv, no not like that, like a plasma. Projected from behind because it's better quality like that I think. And then we can play computer games on the big screen. Like Runescape, where you could just poke the screen and stuff. But get a clever futuristic smartboard that knows where things are if they are touched in more than one place at once."

Sorted

Would you believe it?
I'm going to update you on today BEFORE it happens.

Today I've managed to email Caitlin, Rebecca and Marissa before this Psycho lab started.
We're talking about how books are carried, for the third week in a row.

This keyboard is very loud.

After this lab session I have to get food, go and pick up my prescription, sort out a mother's day card for Nana (as I sent Mum's yesterday). Then sit and get some artwork done before this evening. We'll have to eat early tonight because I have a SSAGO exec meeting a 6 and the comedy starts at half 7.

It's prophesied to go on 'til late, like 11:30... So I doubt I'd be in the mood to blog then.

I'm a fairly happy camper today, wearing my "orange" trousers again JUST BECAUSE I CAN.

I wish I could listen to music in this session, but it's not advisable because then I wouldn't be able to hear any instructions!

Ciao.

Spifflicate

There was one time that Caitlin used that word and thought it was just part of the family, a made up thing her Gran said. Yet the word spifflicate DOES exist outside the Bent household and it means "to tear limb from limb".

This word has nothing to do with my day, but damn did it make a more interesting intro than "Today I got up and went over to art and worked there 'til lunch time", which is in fact what I did.

We had really good bacon sandwiches for lunch, went to the post office, the doctors (as I need MORE moisturiser), down to southwest so we could find out where Jon is going to be tomorrow and then back to mine to listen to podcasts. Hell yes. A rather good day I would say.

Our tea tonight was chilli/mince with rice, it was so very yummy.

I'm writing this then I'll read Hazel's blog out loud AND THEN James'll write his blog.

"It's like a two player game but with myself" -James 5 minutes ago as he played #keep the balloon off the floor#.
"Haha, it's like a four player game!"
"Oh no, oh no, oh no"
"Phew, I even had to move for that one"
"Liz you should do this because it's like excerize"
"Gosh I wish I had two balloons"
"It's like tennis, four player tennis but with me lying on a bed"

Sploosh

I had been doing so well, but last night I didn't blog.

Two reasons this might come down to are that I didn't have anything pressing to talk about and also I spent ages trying to draw a picture for James' fiction blog story "Stones" (which isn't public yet).





Yesterday went as a normal Monday does, 9 am lecture for two hours on Modernist art followed by a silly early lunch, recording and editing of a video, posting of said video and then art until 5pm.

We had a ready meal curry for tea last night to get it eaten up and it was actually fairly nice, it wasn't really spicy at all.

This morning, Tuesday, I reluctantly returned to my room before my first lecture, that was at 11.
Before this however I ventured out to buy more tickets for Jon Richardson.
He's coming to campus on Thursday night so I just HAD to get them, even though we're going to see him in May...

That'll be time 3 and 4.

The rest of today's plan is to head over to the studios in a few minutes and work until just before my 3 o'clock seminar. I'll probably work after for a bit too.

Tonight at SSAGO we're having a child themed party, this should be fun fun fun.

Right, spose that is all!

'Til tomorrow (I think).

Spending money

Today I awoke feeling rested for the first time in a while.
Oftentimes I wake up in the middle of the night and end up scratching even though I don't want to.
This breaks my sleep pattern (and I'm sure it annoys James a lot too) leaving me to wake up tired.

Anyhoosle, after rousing James from his rather steady slumber we decided to watch last night's Heroes. A program that despite it's major flaw (it feels like nothing ever happens) is still pretty enjoyable.

We ate banabar cake for breakfast again and I sat and read a chunck of Dan Brown while James did some computer business.

We set off about 12 to walk into town and buy of tickets for Alice in Wonderland 3D.

This was indeed the first of the new generation 3D films I have witnessed (the last time I saw 3D in the cinema was Spy Kids 3 and that was TERRIBLE).
I honestly thought the film was very enjoyable but I do not understand the appeal of the 3D experience.
I'd much prefer to see a high definition and highly clarified version of any film than to have my points of focus chosen for me by the effects. You can't have any of those "ooooh, look at that bit in the background" moments when the 3D-ness is directing you. It also gave James a headache...

All the characters and voices and beautifully imaginative costumes and scenery were admirable though. I'm glad she chose not to marry that guy from "Me and Orson Wells" too.

We decided to get the bus back as it was fairly chilly outside, I did my Art History reading while James did some Maths bumf and we went to Pitzzetta for tea. Fried chicken and chips, yummy.

The ducks were walking on the very thin covering of ice on the pond and we heard it shatter and watched them splosh into the water! Sweet.

Now I shall relinquish the keyboard to James once again and see how much I can get read of The Lost Symbol, I really wish I could finish it soon as I just want ANSWERS!

Good nightingales.

Saga

That Twilight Saga, oh how the books gripped me, way back when I read them.

We've just got in from seeing New Moon at the Uni cinema.

I liked the wolves.

---

Today was a fairly lazy one in which we consumed too much sugar.

I've read a fair chunck of The Lost Symbol now too and it's written in just the way that intrigues and irritates simultaneously!

---

We're probably going to walk to town to see Alice in Wonderland tomorrow.
I hope it's good, the 'verts make it look so.


Going to close off this little blog now.
Byesies.

Sneezes

Look at how I've managed to write here so many times in the last few days.
Want to know why?
It's because I've been reminded, by James.

This isn't just because he likes to read them, it's because he himself is now writing his very own blog.
I think it's nifty, and if you like a mathmatical point of view of the world you might like to check it out.

(Go on Mum, you know you want to read it!)

Today was one of those daft Fridays, like every term time Friday, a 9 o'clock life drawing session.
Thankfully this week our model didn't bleed in front of us, it was actually quite a pleasant drawing experience although my arm got really tired as usual.

By 11, when the session ends, I am always left feeling drained and totally ready to just go straight back to bed. Though I didn't, I lasted 'til quarter past twelve because I was editing the photos of the water droplets because everyone was so intrigued by them in my video. I thought I'd print out and mount them on my wall for the examination which is some point next week.

Afterwards I went to Spar, bought some chocolate mousses that were on offer and proceeded upstairs to eat lunch and watch last nights Skins. The Uke was sweet but the lip-syncing was terrible.

This afternoon James and I made the banabar cake we've been intending to make for a good long while.

Now we're listening to acoustic guitar songs from James' iTunes playlist.
I have to say that Bad Religion (in my opinion) are terrible unless they're acoustic.

So yes, that was today and it was lovely.

Now it's the evening and we're not going to see Paranormal Activity; we might watch Cars...

Tiddlybye!

Student life

Last night James and I played the "song intro, who is it by and what's it called game". That one where you stick you mp3 player (for me) or iTunes (for James) on shuffle and don't let the other person see the information. You also have to stop the song just before the singing, or at least before the name of the song is said.
This is difficult when the music isn't your own but James seems to be a pro at guessing when singing may begin.
I used to be good at this game; it's difficult when a lot of the music you haven't listened to, or that when you do you don't take note of the title of it because it's on an mp3 player tucked away somewhere. Unlike the habit of when you got a new CD album as a teenager and you (I say you, I could just mean 'I' here, I have no idea of your, the reader, habits) just sat and absorbed the entirety of the musical experience, including learning the names to the songs.

This challenge kept us thoroughly amused until the time felt right for us to go and prepare the lasagne's we'd defrosted which James' mum had brought at the weekend. They were much better than the regular premade ones as they didn't taste of plastic, but they didn't quite come close enough to a good freshly made one either.

In the evening we watched Pocahontas. I love that film, mainly the parts with Miko and Percy (the raccoon and dog) but the songs are lovely too and I loved the ability to completely see ridicule in it now that I'm older and I understand life a lot more complexly. Got to love Disney.

I watched listened to First Time Voters Question Time today. Why was Jamelia on there? It was fairly interesting though.

I've painted my nails black.

James and I lay around listening to the Dave Gorman podcasts from the last two weeks too this afternoon. It was lovely and relaxing and ever-so entertaining (especially all the anecdotes about OCD-ish habits).

For tea we had a good standard student meal of sausages, egg and beans.

OH, today was Peeps day, I'm sure you'll see that in Hazelizabeth though.

I like the blog writing thing, when I put the effort in, or just sit down to it, it sort of flows. Maybe it's because I'm typing on James' laptop, maybe not.

Who knows.

Shizzle.

BYEYALL

SSAGO elections

Last night I went along to SSAGO, happy as larry, at 7pm thinking, this will be a nice night voting for other people to take the roles in the soc.

It ended up that I ran for the Web master and publicity officer and got voted in (as I was the only one who ran this wasn't surprising) so now I'm in charge of mending the broken website soon and running the Freshers and ReFreshers advertising.

We all got certificates too and mine and Rachael's were "most enthusiastic fresher".

Afterwards James and I had tea, we had stir-fry with rice and peppers and it was scrumptious. Then I started to feel all strange and uber tired even though it was only about 10 o'clock so I decided to read one of the only books in James' room which is Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. It sent me to sleep a bit.

Today I was happy to find that 117% has arrived and so I'm wearing my t-shirt.

In my head though I'm still singing Joseph Birdsong's "How does it feel to know this song is about you".

I'm off to buy some paper from Bill and then head over to James' for a lovely Wednesday afternoon.

:D

Seriously?

I only posted 5 blogs last month, when I had the letter R that could have had some amazing titles. So now I'm at S and I'm going to TRY AGAIN.

Dave Gorman's blog today embeded a video that I found simply fascinating.

*the above was written yesterday*

See, I was going to blog everyday but yesterday I worked late and forgot about it while I was editing my own video... excuses excuses.

The film was cancelled last night so we watched Enchanted on DVD instead, after feeding bread to the ducks of course.

My entire body was in achey pain last night, it was foul.
It's on the mend now though, I feel rather revitalised.

117% complete, my t-shirt and badges have still not arrived.
The postage I paid for said 2-7 days and Alan sent the email on the 24th to say it was sent... So I can expect it very soon!

I'm not often fond of Tuesdays. It's two PinE things with a bit of a gap in between which is just annoying enough to not be sufficient for working.

I'm going to read my reading for this afternoon's seminar now and contemplate it.

Tonight is a SSAGO voting thing, probably not the most fun of events but before it James and I have a stirfry to make! :D
