My sisters have a kitten that they rescued from under their house a few months ago. He's kind of half wild, but secretly loves to be loved. This morning, I had a visit from him while I was tucked up in bed. He wanted to cuddle and play - he kept going under the blankets and then back out. I'm now up and about and he's chasing his tale and following ( Read more... )

Behind the cut is the text of a speech by Robert F Kennedy called On the Mindless Menace of Violence. June 6 marks the 41st anniversary of his assasination, and I just wanted to share his words with my friends. I found them extremely inspiring and it is amazing to think how different the world might be today if he had lived to become President.

Last night, me and some other chick stayed outside the house playing Christian music to scare the ghosts away while Andy was inside cowering from the screaming tentacle monster. Or thus went Andy's dream. He never dreams. This might be why...!

Check out the BBC News website for UK snow pictures - it's crazy. The most snow in the UK for 18 years, aparently! London has been completely shut down, so who knows if I'll be going to classes tomorrow! It's not ( Read more... )

Back from an awesome week in Italy snowboarding. Not broken, but missing the Alps and the warmth that England can somehow never provide. A few photos soon.

After that, it'll just be my DClinPsy to obtain before I am through with academia. For those that didn't realise, all of this babbling means I've been accepted onto the Masters programme at the Institute of ( Read more... )

I've been invited to interview for the MSc in mid-July, the day after my sisters arrive. They originally invited me to come this Wednesday, when Andy will (hopefully) be throwing himself out of a plane. I'm glad they could reschedule. What does one wear to an academic interview? How smart should I go for? It'll probably be quite a hot day and my ( Read more... )

So, Andy and I went for our "learn how to snowboard in a day" lesson today, and you know what? We learned how to snowboard! Excellent. It's tons of fun and I can't wait for next week in Italy to really enjoy myself and test my new skills. Huzzah. I'm very sore and tired, though. And I have work tomorrow...boo hiss!
