A little update ( Read more... )

The last couple days have been sad. My mom called and told me all about the funeral. It sounded beautiful. She said it was one of the most beautiful services she's ever been to. And I'm sure it was ( Read more... )

I really don't know what to say. I don't think Kristin ever knew (and I hate myself for never telling her) how very inspiring she was to me. Her charisma was so real and so indelible, which is one reason I can scarcely believe what has happened. She was the most generous, confident, and radiant person I have ever known. There was a certain magic in ( Read more... )

First first first, I got a first. (Best grade possible). :-) Yay!!! Got my Reading Theory/Writing Text portfolio back and I got a "well-deserved first."

Just a moment to rejoice. Now, time to go back to bed. Five hours' sleep is not sufficient for a drunkard.

Ten quid. Ten fucking quid. If that's all Fatty McFat Fuck wants to shell out as compensation then he can shove it. What an insult. Now it's war. I've already called in Environmental Health. I bet Fatty's hopping now!

On Sunday went to Cwmtydu with Eve. Checked out nearby villages of Llwyndafydd, Gwenlli, Plwmp, Caerwedros, and Llangrannog. Cwmtydu and Llangrannog were really stunning and on the sea. I'll post photos eventually. Eve and I are planning to make similar excursions around Wales more regularly this year, maybe going up to Corris and Llyn Mwyngil (Tal ( Read more... )

Ivor Cutler = God. Strange, Scottish, hilarious.

I found some BBC radio sessions with John Peel, and "EggMeat" is a classic. Scroll down to Peel 79 and click "EggMeat." Rachael, I think you'd find it especially hilarious.

I lost my ring today. :-( But I'm going to Morocco tomorrow where I may find even more interesting rings.

I must stop stressing. My bed is assembled. I'm packed. I found my French phrasebook. I'm healthy. I have food for dinner. But it's raining and I want to go swimming. I'm tired. I'm broke. I don't know any Arabic. :-/

Everything will be fine.

I should really be in bed by now....gotta get up at 4:45 to catch the asscrack-of-dawn train to London tomorrow morning. I'll be glad when I get there. Meeting up with Mimi & Joe (!!!) to have high tea at the Savoy Hotel then I get to show them around the big city the rest of the day. Definite must-sees: Soho, the South Bank, and Mug's Pub (under ( Read more... )

Well, after anticipating a nice few days of relaxation and exploration while the sunny weather lasts, my plans have been foiled. Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat, slight fever, fatigue, stomach pain, and a sore back. I then discovered that I have tonsilitis in the right tonsil. It's really swollen and sore and I can see it when I open my ( Read more... )
