Well...
So, Thursday started well enough -- met rssefuirosu and morningstar-lj in the pub for drinks. This rapidly progressed from being 'a few drinks' to being 'really rather a lot of drinks', considering I randomly made the acquaintance of a rather splended gentleman who insisted on pouring large quantities of shots down my neck. As a result, my trek home took in several ( Read more... ) -
So, I've been thinking about the (now resolved) Sudanese teacher crisis...
As such, I realised it was probably time for my extremely rare political entry. Yaknow, the ones where I let let my social conscience out of the little box I keep it in and allow it, mewling and abused, to stand up straight for a few hours before it gets soundly ignored for another ten months.

In which Semjaza decides to go to Lash.
It occurs to me that it's been a hella long time since I last went out to a den of vice and iniquity (and no, the computer science building doesn't count; it's entirely too boring), and, indeed, that I've made progress towards becoming bourgeois and respectable in my old age ( Read more... ) -
