Back at the start of term the RHUL SU had this "awesome" idea to do a video like this, except they gave people about 48 hours notice and picked a day where it was raining resulting in a pretty poor turn out.

Finally they've published it and it's ( Read more... )

No, I don't want to torture small rodents with cosmetics. Instead what I'm after are a number of you lot to browse around this website and let me know if anything doesn't work. Some of you even have accounts on it, so you'll be able to nose around the members-only bits too - which I suspect are the bits I'm more interested in checking as they're ( Read more... )

So last night an intrepid band of folk from IFIS and some random extra bods went and saw the new rebooted Star Trek. It was pretty good. They had plenty of nods and in-jokes from the previous continuity. The cast did a grand job of being the characters we all know (and love?).

It was quite markedly different from previous films though, with the ( Read more... )

Went to my reading group last night to discuss "The Left Hand of Darkness". Bit of a marmite book - some people liked it, some people didn't. Seems every month now we're getting new folk show up too, which is good as fresh opinions liven things up.

Due to beeblebear's choice (Towing Johah(sp?)) being totally ( Read more... )

After several years of trying to convince people that The Lost Room is a worthy item of viewing pleasure at IFIS, the committee have finally shown it! Admittedly as an alternative to something they didn't get in time, but can't be too fussy about such things I guess?

The night was spoilt only by the stoopid SU double booking the room with ( Read more... )

The week has been pretty mixed so far. Work-wise, I've been on a SuSE training course, which has been terminally dull. GameSoc was pretty uneventful, but I took along a copy of "Apples to Apples" to try and instill a bit of a party atmosphere. Everyone certainly enjoyed it as it's a very silly game.

Watched Hogfather on Tuesday. In a ( Read more... )

The Xmas bash I mentioned previously is now definitely pencilled in for the Thursday 11th of December. I say pencilled in, purely because we need to know numbers ASAP as depending on how many we get, it depends on what kind of affair we have.

The choices are either a sit-down, 3 course meal with a glass of bubbly for 20quid. Or a finger buffet ( Read more... )

One of these days, I'm going to post an entry about the SU had got something right and hadn't screwed up. I suspect they might be selling thermal underwear in Hell before that happens though.

All in all, it took about 5 minutes to sort out the insurance problem. I ( Read more... )

Tonight was pretty good, mostly. IFIS had a good turn out at the social which was good. And we had a nose at the state of the library cupboards and found the one that had previously been damaged was now in an slightly worse state :( so much so, that it was in theory possible to extract books. No idea currently if any have been stolen, but in ( Read more... )

Last night went exceptionally well apart from a few minor problems. The ( Read more... )
