The Long Week

So Long, Not Long Enough

This is the reading week, where everyone studies like crazy (well, most people anyway) before they plunge themselves into the exams. Looks like a long and dreary week. I have four papers: two on Tuesday, one on WEdnesday, and one on the 5th of May (I think). It’s not actually a lot but a couple of them will need more work than others.

Today I’m going to school to attend one last supplementary class and also to hand up the last of my assignments. Thereafter, I will have shaken off the last of the term commitments and will be able to dive into the revision like everyone else. Looks awful, but I suppose you get used to it.

Three More

Three, right? I watched the one with the cloned girl and didn’t really like it. Then the Agatha Christie one was kind of okay, clever in bits, and yet somehow sort of missing a little magic. I also caught Silence In The Library yesterday, and I have to say, very clever, Mr. Moffat. Very clever. Excellent monster design, in particular.

On The Jukebox

I’ve had a lot of Rod Piazza playing for some reason. Some of the older records. Actually, I don’t have the new ones. I should probably keep and eye out for them. Speaking of which, The Hazards Of Love has yet to arrive, yes, but I’m just impatient.

Recent Conversations

Conversations with real people (hey, just in case you were suspicious) in the past couple of days have included discussions about: skulls, ice sculptures, flashing purple emoticons, girlfriends-boyfriends, killer monkeys, stars, the art of monster design, chopstick revelations, pandas, rhinoceroses as dinosaurs, Nicolas Cage in his new movie, kidnapping me.
