Okay, so this is awesome. I am writing this post from a really nice pub that serves an eclectic assortment of ales and has Gorillaz playing in the background. I am currently drinking White Dwarf, and am severely tempted to ask for a Spotted Hyena, along with some helllishly hot bar snacks. Not everything in my life is so fantastic, unfortunately ( Read more... )

Since I haven't posted here for a while, and I've recently seen Transformers (because I was honestly a little bit curious about how someone could fuck up a film with giant transforming robots in it. Plus, the queue was really long so I missed the 9:00 showing of Bourne Ultimatum), I thought I might share a few thoughts ( Read more... )

I seem to have a more than usually sensitive inner ear than most people. This was brought to my attention when I was returning home from Amsterdam last year for the final time. I mentioned to my Dad that I could tell I was back in England because my ears were popping as we sped up and down hills. He started expressing amazement over the fact that ( Read more... )

Monday was a bit strange, then. The assessment day was pretty fun in the end, what with activities involving planning how to survive on the moon and some kind of group co-operation exercise that was deliberately poorly explained so that the organisers could watch a lot of graduates flailing around trying to backstab each other when such an action ( Read more... )

This has been bothering me like a bee buzzing in the back of my brain for a while now. The widely-used internet acronym FTW confuses me every time I see it. I always have to do a double-take and replay in my head what it actually means. This is because of the Vines ( Read more... )

Busy busy. I have done a lot of things, which is odd considering all I supposedly have to do is wait for graduation. I've been to a Napalm Death gig, which was awesome, if bruising. The fact that I tried some "smoked beer" just before going would account for my presence in the mosh pit for most of the night. It was beer that tasted like bacon. ( Read more... )

Today I woke up with a small red bruise just over my left eye. Do I fight crime in my sleep?

Healthy brains do not function in this way, I am sure. I was thinking about my recent time on the internet, which has led to many random tangents (what is it with people who seem to think that "led", the past tense of "lead", is the same as the noun "lead", which is a heavy metal. Heavy metal is pretty awesome. I should get into it some more. I was ( Read more... )

You know what? Should probably post here more often. I've just got back from a student radio show in which we smashed an S Club CD in as many ways as possible (Throwing at wall until bits shattered off it, biting it, drawing on it with pen, stamping on it with a chair, and finally tapping it with the metal bit of a paint roller) until it wouldn't ( Read more... )

This evening totally justified having a car that I hardly ever use at university ( Read more... )
