I've got a major essay due today - I was working along quite happily on it when I reached that horrible moment - when some horrible thing inside your brain just says 'You know, you could pass on what you've got there ( Read more... )

I am almost astounded by my ability to waste time. I swear I've spent five hours in front of my computer, ostensibly to write 500 words. Which, incidentally, still aren't finished. It should have taken me no more than half an hour.

And my bed's covered in junk, so I think I'll forego sleep tonight. I'll go and watch cartoons instead.

'"I think I might be really unpopular for saying this about Harry but I always have had this suspicion that with everything that's going on with Harry's life, I think he might die," Radcliffe said of his alter-ego. '

Oh, have I mentioned how much I like Daniel Radcliffe? Smart boy.

(Smart boy who, I swear, looks at least 21 in all of the ( Read more... )

Heading into the last two weeks of semester now - I can't believe how fast it's flown by. Of course I realise analytically that it's reasonable, but it still makes me sad - perhaps because nothing's really standing out from it ( Read more... )

That's it. I may be sick.

I swear these essays were almost done 12 hours ago. I thought I'd be in bed by 3. But...fuck, they're due in just over 5 hours, and I just can't finish them. They're both within the word limit, footnoting and bibliographies are done, they just need refining and conclusions. But...I can't. And I'm stressed. Really ( Read more... )

One track mind...

I saw Radiohead last night. More on that later.

Today they cancelled their second Melbourne concert/final Australian concert because Thom's ill and it's dangerous for him to sing. I feel guilty about seeing them last night, because...man. People have been waiting six years to see them - the tickets were all sold out around 6 ( Read more... )

I'm leaving for Melbourne in just over an hour. Which means that this time tomorrow I will be AT RADIOHEAD. I've spent the past three or more years wanting them to come back - more than wanting - kind of wishing, kind of dreaming. The past six months counting down, with it being a cause for speechless excitement whenever I met somebody else ( Read more... )

Today I spent a grand total of $2.75. I was impressed with myself. Because you know what that means? It means that I took *left-overs* to eat for lunch. Which means that I cooked last night. Which I've now done three times in the past three months ( Read more... )

Yes: I'm a footnoting purist. Chicago style manual all the way, especially over that crap they teach in first year. Yes, I realise that the first year junk is more instantly pleasing, logical and - simple. But if I don't like you then yes, I'm going to give you a fake smile when you use that form ( Read more... )

I am an idiot. Worse than that. Take me out and lynch me. Please.

Ten minutes ago I was sitting here in a state of mild panic, stressing because the journal articles I needed weren't available through any of the university's online subscriptions and I wouldn't have time to go to the national library until next week and OMG - yes indeed, it was ( Read more... )
