Yesterday was slightly cool, but actually quite pleasant. With this in mind this morning I dressed normally, taking only my rain coat since it's been raining on and off for about the last week. Lucky I took my coat because it's the first day I remember where it's been properly cold. It was icy today. I liked it, it reminds me of home. I will ( Read more... )

Uwe Boll vs Michael Bay in a 12 round boxing match? It's like my dreams have somehow become reality. Although it will only be my dream if Bay does the Sub-Zero style fatality on Boll by tearing his head off with the spine still attached before succumbing to his own wounds. Hell, if he pulls that one off he may gain my posthumous respect, all the ( Read more... )

Seriously, if you guys don't know about it already there is a free weekly webcomic by Warren freakin' Ellis going on right now which you should observe.

Has been a mostly uneventful couple of weeks on my end. More uni, work/work, uni, the usual ( Read more... )

Uni was OK, but long. I got to catch up with a few friends, which was cool, and the classes were no too hard. I do have a test on Friday, but I will be able to prepare for that well in advance ( Read more... )

Another marathon shift at the pub today. It wasn't too bad, no real wankers. In fact, pretty much everyone was cool today. There was the lone dick who walks in ten minutes after close and orders a jug, then acts offended when you tell him you're closed and can't sell him anything, but that guy always shows up, and it was actually sort of enjoyable ( Read more... )

I hate my internet connection from time to time. At the moment I think it is choking to death on something. It seems to grind to a halt when my housemate is around but it loads fine the other times. Maybe he's just downloading too many TV shows/movies/videos/bad porn. In any case I think he eats a lot of the bandwidth. I've been trying to be good ( Read more... )

The last couple of days I have been grinding my teeth in lectures and around the campus as I listen to countless people whinging about how cold it is all of a sudden. When people I know have come up to me and asked why I'm wearing a T-Shirt I'm afraid I've usually snapped back "Because it's not fucking cold, that's why." or something similar. It's ( Read more... )

Well I went to my free introductory class this afternoon. It was good to get back into it, and it was a real workout. They took it really slow, just going over the basic six movements around which all the throws, joint locks and other fun stuff are built around. Also break-falls, or Ukemi, or whatever the Japanese term is for them, which were very ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a good day, I had a break from all the readings and stuff and wandered into the city. As I was passing by Allan's Music I remembered the guitar I had ordered over a month ago that no one had called me about and decided to pop my head in and see if they'd actually got it in. Fortunately for them they had, so I now have the power of ( Read more... )
