Black Angel, John Connolly's latest Charlie Parker book, comes out a week today. Woo! Also, he's going to be doing a booksigning in Leeds on May 10. Double woo!
Have just realised I have two three-hour exams on the same day. Boo.
Didn't pick up my maintenance grant because queue in the Accounts office was huge and full of retarded people who don't know how to form a line. Double boo.
Had Foucauldian law today - we were talking about the relationship of the concepts of "power" and "knowledge". Julie was explaining that the reason it's written "Power/Knowledge" in Foucauldian texts is because the two are inextricably linked, and one cannot exist without the other. All I could think of was that it sounded like really cliche fanfiction, and I kept snickering quietly to myself for about twenty minutes.
Watched "Shindig" last night - adore the scene where Badger is explaining about the fancy ball to Mal and Jayne:
Badger: You can't get an invite for diamonds the size of testicles, but I've got my hands on a couple.
Mal and Jayne: *gigglegiggle*
Badger: Of invites!
In other news, although I am not generally in favour of movies being made of books I like, if there was ever a movie made of the Discworld novels, Ronan Vibert (Robespierre in the Scarlet Pimpernel tv series) would rock so hard as Vetinari.
