Hmm project done...birthday awaits!

Well after a hectic non-sleepy few days I finally handed in my project. What a horrible time I've had of it and to be honest I just want to forget it and move on. But I'm recalling it all for the benefit of the faceless being that is the internet, whilst listening to Nagisa Ni Te and planning to watch Rushmore ahhh yeah! The last 24 hours have been a constant off again on again sensation of will he do it, will he not? And now it's done it was really a little of both. It was pretty rubbish in my opinion, good in some areas and woefully bad in others. The frantic rush when I was printing off at Liz's next door was kind of good cos it felt like it was done already. And to have someone to stress with makes it easier, I have been sat in my room staring at a screen with my head alternately in me hands or slumped on the keyboard for what seems like an eternity. Was great to look at my phone clock this evening and realise I didn't have to think "so many hours to go", bliss. A rush to get to uni and hand in thinking we were late was all ok as the lovely woman in the office was considerate and friendly, just what I needed. Anyway ended up going to the Union!!!!! and then to the good ole Dog One Eye where pool was played, gossip was chatted, friends were hugged and Rusty was seen. Damn that teacher, he really is such a teacher! *exasperated gasp* Right enough writing I am going to relax now, peace and fucking! x

Essay Donedid

Yup I done gone and handed the fella in, though I had to stick in the figures with Pritt Stick from the papers I used cos the scanner wasn't working and the technician was in Plymouth. If anyone asks, don't go to Portsmouth University it is a pile of old toss...seriously. It is so frustrating to work with substandard equipment, although if you do printmaking or something like that Portland Building is quite a nice working environment. I am somewhat biased as my building, Burnaby, is the oldest most neglected one as no one wants to do Geology anymore, or at least the uni don't want to fund it. Example, even though a big new Business building is across the way from ours they still invade our building and use the top floor because they haven't got enough space. Anyway, my advice is don't come here, i only wish I had had the balls to slag the place off in all those intolerable feedback forms that one gets given. Had to get THAT off my chest. Still plenty of work to do
this is me "enjoying" my brief respite, a celebration if you will! :-l

AAAaaaaaaaggghhhh!!! :-l

I think the title says it all really, essay on armadillos due for tomorrow (my choice), dissertation for next tuesday, Japanese exam thursday, essay and computer assignment for friday. Oh yeah and tis my BIRTHDAY on thursday, whoop de doo! Oh well never normally do that much for my bday anyway, but it would be nice if i didn't have shitloads of work to do over it. At least it should ease for the weekend when my very good friend Neil is visiting from Maidstone and good buddies from London Ben and Erik are coming down. Sister can't make it but she has dissertation to do as well so she is forgiven. And of course Alice is arriving on wednesday so she can witness me in the middle of panic central! Oh yeah and I got a ticket for Glade festival in July (imagine the electronica joy of it all). Update over with tis time to crack on again. No one reads this anyway, but since I haven't even been writing in my paper journal the excitement of writing on the computer gives added impetus for entering my thoughts. I am hoping this will get slightly more interesting at some point cos to be honest it's pretty fupping boring now. Just think if I had written this much on my essay I'd have done another few hundred words by now...Right I'm off, nanu nanu.
See, I ain't lyin', sheesh!

Couldn't resist putting this one in, since I haven't taken any digi pics for a while was looking through the old ones. I love the feeling of dropping into the picture...or is that just me? 

This is what happens when you take a picture of yourself, it looks like you're grabbing the viewer by the throat! Hardcore ;-) 

Sunday: day of rest??

Hmm, was about to write a post about my annoyance at the time of posts being set to US time when, silly me, found the settings where one can change it all to ones liking. So now all my posts should be set to the correct time. So, it's about 12 0'clock on Sunday and I am still pissing about on the internet, bad Jack. I'm hoping the calming influence of Stereolab will prevent my recent feelings of frustration and anger at being cooped up trying to write dissertation, blah, blah, blah. In fact I may restrict myself from writing anymore until after the hand in deadline to stop the flood of boring, samey posts. Leaving myself to the percussive bleeps I am going to stop wasting time and get back on the pony of constructive work related typing...right after I roast some vegetable, cover them in olive oil and lay them on a bed of cous cous. Distraction tactics? Shurely shome mishtake?

What a gwey day!

First of all a correction: forgetting to change the time on the last post it was not 7:12 (i.e. before I even went out) but in fact something like 2AM.

Here I sit, in my chair looking out the window. Well thats not the only thing I'm doing, listening to Black Moth Super Rainbow for one thing. The rain makes the grass look very healthy and I can imagine it thirstily gulping down all the water it can, while it can. Although the blossom on the cherry tree looks a little limp from the rain it is still a beautiful splash of colour and reminds me of when I was little and the cherry tree in my parents garden. It used to double as a tree house and I spent lots of time sitting in its branches on a tiny wooden platform...until it got old, rotted and had to be cut down. It was a stump then for years, in fact come to think of it I can't remember whether it is still there or if it's been fully uprooted. Hmm, silly, I suppose I don't see the folks place that often so...
Right ho, better start doing some work, I went to bed early last night so I could arise early. I woke at quarter to 7 but then went back to sleep til half 8. After a shower and checking my emails, which I haven't been able to do cos of the bloody router, I feel the need to crack on and get some more actual writing done. Oh how I wish I was writing something other than that...
ADIEU!!...

Evening Sports

Just been out for my friend Monica's 21st birthday. I hadn't seen her in ages and randomly saw her this morning and she said come out. So we went to The WIne Vaults and then to Havana where i did a bit of salsa dancing. Then I made a break for home but Monica ran after me and dragged me to Walkabout where I was at the head of a conga line! AFter that we went back to hers and I played some Pro Evoluton Soccer and won 4-1 Nigeria vs Egpt. Well done number 18 Martins, two goals within 5 minutes of each other. So now I'm back at mine listening to Bearsuit, Adam Green, Joanna Newsom. Gotta get up for lecture tomorrow at nine so better get to sleep. Bring on the morrow. I had a nice text conversation with Alice today, will be great to see her for my birthday. Ah! :-D

Back from Cyprus

Ho ho ho, here I am back in my room after a 2 week adventure in Cyprus. Was gonna do a post before I left but the taxi caught me short so I had to run off without my shaver and digi camera. Was actually not as bad as the last two week stint I did in Brittany last year, bit of stress but manageable. Well all the work is done now and handed in, its 80% and theres and essay to do worth 20%. Next mission is the dissertation which is for 2 weeks time. After thats out of the way its relatively plain sailing, to be honest I can't wait to get it all over with and have some time to do all the things I've wanted to do for ages, I've got a mountain of books to read on psychology and hominids and a load of walking to do. But I feel a hunger in my belly and must go make some hearty wholesome food in my own kitchen.

I can't see what I have to do?

Font, oh I see. Hmm just had to change the time, I wonder whether that bodes ill since it appears to be based on US time. Ah well hosted from far away like everything else these days, mobile messages travelling 50 yards from phone to phone via an orbiting satellite. New at blogging how long will this last? And is this better than 'livejournal' or 'myspace'? Just the words are better, though maybe a few pictures along the way will ease the eye of the graphic image starved. And let's face it I like photos too, and funny drawings hee hee. Better stick this thing up then and take a step into the digital world, I feel my words becoming ones and zeroes as I write. Vive la digitance!
