Student on the Rampage
Dear more-intelligent and world-wise friends:
Why is the exchange rate between the US and the UK so shitty? Better yet, why is it SHITTIER now than it was when I got here? Please tell me so I can have someone to blame and hate. My rage needs to be directed somewhere. It need not be put in any constructive direction.
Thank you.

Concert Tickets
I'm about to try to buy $80 Police tickets off Ticket Nest. Has anyone used this site before? Should I generally trust it? The Atlanta tickets are out of the cheapest ones and I don't want to order tickets and find out I've been ripped off. Those of you who've done this before: ADVICE. -
Gun Cultures and the Police
So I spent the weekend exploring Stonehenge and Bath on Saturday, then wandering around St. Peter's park, Regents Park, Soho and London's Chinatown. I will update more on that later, and pictures (of Stonehenge and Bath anyway) will go up on facebook ( Read more... ) -
The Night of the Living Dead
Well, pulled an all-nighter last night with Kelly and Evelia. Managed to get it done, even though it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. That's okay though, it's done and I don't have to worry about it anymore. The only thing I've got to worry about now is work and a final. The only thing is, our sleep schedule is totally fucked up right now ( Read more... ) -
The Police Paper
Okay, I think I'm writing a paper about The Police in the British Punk late 70s - 80s era and how they influenced youth culture in race and gender relations, or maybe at least revealed the mindsets of the era, by looking at their lyrics and history ( Read more... ) -
Addiction
You really start to appreciate the extent of your addictions when you go out to Tesco past 11 pm at night to buy a liter of Coke so that you can drink it while reading for class.
Marlene, I blame you. As for the coffee, I have only myself to blame. -
Work, mummies and paper moons.
Alright, so yesterday wasn't as great as the first day. Lately the other intern and I have just been doing comparative reading, and since I came in when the two bosses were busy with individual projects (and one of them getting ready to get married this weekend), there hasn't been too much for me to do. There's the occasional corrections that I ( Read more... ) -
Working As A Publisher
My first day of work was today. :) For anyone who happens to know the layout of London (Marl), I work near Old Street Station, on Curtain Road. It looks kind of like a trashier part of town, but I like it dammit! I work above a bar, which makes me laugh, and across the street from a REALLY cheap diner, for which I'm grateful ( Read more... ) -
Jesus Christ
My sister is taking a philosophy of ethics at our local community college. Her professor told them that the US will fall like Rome did, all because of the Democrats. Yes, he actually said that. Apparently he never heard of actually teaching.
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK.
