I'm in Edinburgh for a big scary conference thingy from Sunday to Tuesday and was wondering if there are any friendlies about that I could see. I'll probably have time to burn (mixed metaphors rock) on Sunday afternoon. Beer/lunch/sit off in your house anyone? I think the hotel I'm staying in is on Leith walk, if thats a place. My phone number hasn ( Read more... )

I did a quiz which told me I was beer. I think thats a good enough reason for me to stop pretending I like vodka and diet coke for lack-of-calories purposes and embrace the beer. Other good reasons are because it costs the same for a simgle V+C as a pint of beer (in the Central, at least) but I drink 2 of the former in the same time as one of the ( Read more... )

Aikmans/Cellar Bar, from 10pm-ish, Friday and Saturday. Probably moving on to Union at some unspecified time.

Now there will be shopping and dinner thereafter.

I've just noticed my name written on the white board in the Head of School's office.

FEAR!

Woohoo! Passed my driving theory test ( Read more... )

Accidentally drank my bodyweight in alcohol last night. Making me an hour late for the PhD induction thing today and also making it a lot more difficult than it should be to sit in a lecture theatre and listen to people talk. The free lunch has just given my stomach something to object to. Its supposed to last until 6 but the last hour and a half ( Read more... )

Ohhh. LIVEjournal, that old thing ( Read more... )
