I had an exam yesterday, and I forgot my glasses. I realised at the bus stop... the thing is that I can see just fine without 'em, it's just the reading and the comprehending that becomes hard. So, I went in anyway, and studied the whole morning in the desperate hope that something would stay in there. I probably should have corked up my ears or ( Read more... )

No, really, they are. Every time that I get bored and venture bravely out into the web, I am confronted by this wall of stupidity. Every so often I think, 'hey, I wonder what people are saying about topic x these days', and I check it out only to be confronted with screaming morons who either a) just reference some trite website that offers ( Read more... )

Well, I caught up with Pete for lunch today and found the cheapest place to eat in central Adelaide. For visitors to Adelaide, it is Cafe 42 by the Morphett Street bridge. If you're a full time student you get ten percent off their already ridiculously cheap prices... I gorged myself on a five dollar butter chicken. I had to say no to the lentil ( Read more... )

To set the context, the last three days have gone 38 - 41 - 36 degrees, which either describe a chronically obese citizen or a streak of hot weather, however you look at it. As a consequence of being one born to cooler climates, and living in a house with no air conditioning that slowly heats up like a furnace, this is not conducive to activities ( Read more... )

Well, for someone on holidays you'd think I'd have more time to kill. I originally wrote "you'd think that I'd have more to kill", but then I remembered that that's too close to the truth. Because I have soooooo many to kill, and yes, you're on the list. You know, grammatically, you shouldn't start a sentence with 'because'. Dammit. So, instead I ( Read more... )

Yeah, so I was procrastinating by surfing the net when I was supposed to be writing my dumbassed 2000 words on the rambling of my incoherent interviewees. And then my internet connection boots me no fewer than 4 fucking times in the space of three hours. I must be tired, because I'm swearing. Dammit ( Read more... )

Nothing ever happens, except that in assignment season I have woken up at 5.30am so many days in a row that my body clock no longer needs an alarm to do so. 5.30 is fine, providing you get to bed BEFORE 1am. On the plus side, 3 assignments handed in, 3 to go.... 2 biggies and a dumbass "write two thousand words saying why the author of this book ( Read more... )

You know you're tired when...

you try and sharpen a pencil with an erasor.

I have been ruthlessly applying the logic preferred by anti-major-religious-figure-ance groups, and have come to the conclusion that Napoleon never existed. Sure, there's stuff people claim that he wrote, that people wrote about him, the impact on history, the claimed descendants and all the legacy rubbish, but hey. I've never met Napoleon. I've ( Read more... )

Am I the only person in the world that hates Abba? Surely this can't be so. I don't think I could go on ( Read more... )
