I've been in the library a lot over the last 2 days, researching about Lenin & Bolshevism, pretty interesting really. Thinking about considering doing something about Russia for Dissertation, think it would challenge me and I'd find it enjoyable a lot. I've enjoyed just reading the past few days because it keeps my mind off things and keeps me occupied.
Have been listening to Incubus "Dig" and the new Kings of Leon song "On Call" all day. I have the crappest headphones ever, I bought them from a pound shop, and generally I love pound shops because they're just plain weird. The comical thing about these earphones is that they don't have a long enough lead. You'd have to be a midget to use these. Arcade Fire album is out tomorrow, which is quite exciting I'm going to go after a lecture and buy it. So much for saving money, I think Biffy Clyro is out the same day but I think I'll just wait. Infact I spent this morning sorting out my mp3 player to sort out albums, and put all my Cds on my laptop and copied them on WMP to wma's, because itunes does it in mpeg4s which my mp3 player doesn't play - found out it doesn't play wma's either - what? I hate the music industry, I think it has something to do with the CD's being mpeg4 format only, so they only work on ipods if you use itunes. Think they're trying to change the law though. Would make sense, considering mp3 players probably won't be that important in a few years time, it is all about the phones and mp3 technology now!
Well that was an interesting paragraph! What else have I been up to? Errrr Went to Stoke recently to go swimming at Waterworld. Got up at 8am to go, was there at 10am (when it opens), found out it doesn't open till 2am. So we faced the most horrible thing that could ever happen to anyone, I'd rather go to Iraq than spend 4 hours in Stoke! Wasn't that bad actually, just looked about in an entertaining retail park - which had a toys 'r' us - haven't been to one in ages, and there was a pet shop - exciting really.
I enjoyed the lunar eclipse last night. Really beautiful. Reminds me of the Solar Eclipse; "don't look at it you will go blind!". I was in Devon I think on a beach, it was a surreal moment and I still remember it. It was cloudy, almost apocolyptic, and the birds flew across the horizon, it was really something special. I can't wait to see it in 2090! It is weird because my friends asked me what a lunar eclipse actually is, and that made me think that not a lot of people really step back and appreciate how amazing it is, I always like it in summer, during the evenings, just looking at the stars and thinking "there is so much more to life than this". I think a natural phenonemon of any kind, makes you think about every day things, crazy world really.
Umm. I'm hoping to apply for stewarding a festival or two over the summer, through Oxfam. Shall give me something to do. Also might get onto the National Trust and spend a week somewhere, also get a job somewhere. So I've been thinking about that to. Might actually wake up one day and consider going to see a Doctor soon, I've started self help again which is pretty focused this month, don't know, see how things go for now.
Anyhoo, urrr, yeah I'm gonna go I'm pretty tired! x.
