I was going to do all sorts of things today, from a load of housework to buying myself a pocketwatch in celebration of my impending doctorhood to printing out the last 11 pages of my thesis again because the box I had them all in got wet on the drive home. What I have done today is driven and walked back and forth between my place and the DVLA ( Read more... )

Listening to a load of Les Barker poems yesterday, I came a cross one I found very appealing for slightly odd reasons. The original version of the song - Anything Goes - is a very upbeat fifties song that can be found on the soundtrack for Fallout 3, on one of the radio stations. It's quite a fun song, and I quite like it ( Read more... )

Have fun.

A few minor corrections to do and I'm done. And I do mean a few and I do mean minor. I'm gonna try and get them done over the weekend, then get six copies printed and bound on Monday. Two for the school, one for me, one for Bob, one for Derek and one for my parents ( Read more... )

Any others that stood out to people?

Tescos was busy. And full of people who were refusing to do thing like using pay-at-pump (so much quicker), or even use the unoccupied pump in front of them (wtf?). Essay is progressing. Should be able to finish it today, though it's not going to be any good. Lush is even more horribly overpowering inside than out, though the staff are helpful ( Read more... )

Finally getting to play in a shifter game that isn't in London. Ok, so it's hengeyokai, but still, it's proving quite fun so far :). May try for an IC journal for that later ( Read more... )
