I'm dreading January, work-wise. I'll have two written 3-hour exams, two oral presentations, and a 3,500 word essay for that month. It wouldn't be so bad if I enjoyed this course, but the various machinations in progress at this university have ensured that nothing in the English department is in the least enjoyable. Incompetant lecturors, ( Read more... )

Last night my friend and I smoked a quarter of green and now I'm feeling like shit. It's my own fault, I know, but damn if it wasn't a lot of fun at the time.

So I'm in a computer room in the oldest section of the University of Aberystwyth, and I'm trying to write an essay on Romanticism (curretn topic: William Blake), and all I can here is some fucking moron at the back of the room trying to sing.

And I want it now ( Read more... )

So basically I decided to interveiniously re-read the entire Harry Potter series for no apparant reason, and it's getting on my nerves ( Read more... )

I still value both Slaughterhouse #5 and Breakfast of Champions as his best, though. I'd go so far as to say that he's my choice for greatest US author in history ( Read more... )

I'm running out of money. I've got £15 left in the whole world.This is not good. I can't even trade in my copy of Fable because I've left the case in Hereford at home.

If only I were Jewish. Then I'd have lots of money, but no foreskin.

Today is one of the days when I wonder why I bother paying for a television licence. Every analogue channel is appalling, and I'm forced to watch the pathetic pointlessness of S4C (the Welsh version of Channel 4). What's the point of Welsh language TV? Everyone in Wales can speak English. What's the point, then, of filling the primetime slots with ( Read more... )

I don't actually have anything to say in this LJ post, I just feel I ought to post it, for some reason. It's a feeling in my gut. So, let me think of a topic.
