Lazy, rather boring ranting...
I have about 50 million things to do in my new flat. I have had to stay in all day to wait for the Virgin man (who has came) and the electrician (who has not.) Side note: hahaha, I sound like such a grown up, saying words like "electrician". Somewhere my 12 year old self is horrified.

Damn you Carter Bays and Craig Thomas!
Regrettably I am writing to express my disappointment with the recent decline in quality in the show "How I Met Your Mother". This used to be one of my favourite shows, one I would never miss and yet Season 5 has been unusually bad, so much so that I rarely watch it anymore.
The show, despite being a sitcom, had heart and a good mix of drama. ( Read more... ) -
"Her strong enchantments failing"
Her strong enchantments failing;
Her towers of fear in wreck,
Her limbrecks dried of poisons
And the knife at her neck,
The Queen of air and darkness
Begins to shrill and cry,
"O young man, O my slayer,
To-morrow you shall die."
O Queen of air and darkness,
I think 'tis truth you say,
And I shall die to-morrow;
But you will die to-day.

Don't Look Now
Oh. My. God. I think I just almost died with fright.
So I'm sitting at the PC, idly looking up random stuff... film trivia, music videos etc. Then my browsing takes a nostalgic turn and I start looking up things from my childhood. Then I realise I'm humming to myself and identify it as the "My Little Pony" tune.
So I go onto Youtube and watch the ( Read more... ) -

I'm in a horribly aimless mood. It's raining and no-one's free to do anything with me ( Read more... ) -
The search to find the perfect book...
I'm in the mood to read a classic, difficult book. It's important to know the classics, I think. But what? I buy so many cheap ones and never get round to it. Ivanhoe? Woman in White? I think I'm in the mood for some DH Lawrence which is strange 'cos I hated "Sons and Lovers". With. A. Passion. What an awful story! Little sissy mother's boy can't ( Read more... ) -

Today = very good. :D
Had my crit with the very hyperactive 1st year and it went really well. 2 Satisfactorys and 2 Merits.
I thought it had gone badly too because right in the middle of it, some brat darling child fell off his chair and the whole class erupted. I'm under no illusions this was an accident- he had two little girlfriends in the ( Read more... ) -
Pfft! (feel the rage)
So I am extremely pissed off today.
Everything sucks. Work sucks. I don't know when my next crit is and I am absolutely terrified. It'll probably be the worst class, the hyperactive first year who bounce off walls. And they're doing this co-operative learning practice which basically entails handing the reins over to the kids and letting them get on ( Read more... ) -
Random wanderings
Was ever so slightly pressurised into making a Live Journal (some may even say bullied!) . :) And since this is my first post, it is not interesting. So I shall list some random stuff that comes into my head ( Read more... )
