I've had a bizarre burst of creativity that I can only attribute to having had a lie in and a decent night's sleep. I've spent the whole morning painting, which is unusual for me. I drew a pencil sketch of Dave last night, which I thought was divine at the time, but now see that the nose was too big. I've painted him now, and I'm very proud of ( Read more... )

Cut, because I'm sure many will find it offensive. Not so much a statement as a half-angry half-confused ramble.

And another new seminar leader. We like this one, she's great. She's been teaching for fifteen years in Holland (Dutchland to the uneducated a la moi) and has come back to here to teach me.....and others. She's very enthusiastic and good at getting everyone involved and setting up arguments between the people in the class. I think I'll also ( Read more... )

Wow, my seminar leader's...interesting. Didn't like him at all at first. He embraces the silencce and does very little to encourage anybody, plus he started out by making us all make name tags. In my experience, this isn't a good start. After a while, though, he seems......I don't know. Pertinent, I guess. He has a lot of the artiste about ( Read more... )

So I finally got round to finishing off the Angels last night.....Uh, did anyone else find that ending incredibly disappointing? I mean, you get the really cool end of the penultimate episode where *everything* is turne on its head, this is the hardest thing we'll ever do, etc. And then they accomplish it in ten minutes. Some die, as we all knew ( Read more... )

I miscalculated the bus times, so my bus passed just as I was approaching the bus stop. The next one was supposed to be in twenty minutes (which would get me to Uni JUST in time), but was actually half an hour. Ten minutes late I could cope with. But the second I paid for my ticket, the engine started smoking and caught on fire! GAH! Had to ( Read more... )

And I had to admit, I was worried. You know, that I'd got stupider over the summer or something. But really, just kinda hyper and excited now. I had a lecture on modernism this morning. The first half hour was a talk on 'What we expectof you in this module', which is probably mostly what I'll be hearing this week. I smiled when he said 'We are ( Read more... )

I think Dave might have to go into hospital again. Nothing's backing up, but it's been hurting for three days now. It's inflamed, and now it's pushing against his bladder. I think if we don't get it looked at soon, it's going to start backing up. He's exceeding his codeine dosage, and it's still only helping for an hour or so at a time. Dave ( Read more... )

Dave is sick. The crohns is much worse the last coupleof days. So, it being my day off, I brought him tea in bed this morning and sat on the end and chatted to him. It was nice. And kinda funny ( Read more... )
