Best of 2008
I did this a couple of years back and really enjoyed it. Here are my highlights of 2008: probably the best year of my life so far.
New Years at Bureau and betting Tim to kiss Becci before going back to Olivia’s and then driving home, probably over the limit, before yet another shift at blockbusters.
An evening with Leo watching 300, followed by a day in London with Hannah and Sarah to get...
The Mighty Boosh is dead
I recently found out that I may be seeing The Mighty Boosh on tour yet again in the new year. Now, three years or so ago, I would have been mega excited! I only saw it last month but this wouldnt phase a 17 year old Alex, he would be jumping for joy. But I’m not. I fear to say I’ve fallen out of love with the Boosh somewhat.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still genuinely funny...
I'ma goin' home!
I just packed most of my stuff for my journey back to the midlands tomorrow. My room looks nice and tidy with less stuff in it.
Hrm, thinking about it, I must remember to take off my bedding and take it home for washing. Black sheets look cool, but I didn’t think it through. I drool a lot on my sleep, and on black sheets it leaves dodgy looking stains on my pillows. Ted asked if they were...
An incomplete scrap of paper I found in my pocket...
…constraints placed upon us by the Master of Eliot, …dwarves originally cast to play the dwarves are no longer …have been found at a lower cost, although they …taller than normal dwarves.

The poem I posted on Dec 11th...
Here it is again, after being translated into Japanese, and back to English again.
I give you my Engrish poem:
As for me the freezing and others which remembers that you sit down in the opposite direction in the coffee beverage and the banana which are done the muffin of Starbucks under empire state. It pointed to my camera with you who your surface the time I are hidden. As for us, have that...
DRUNK
I shouldn’t blog while I’m drunk. I’m bound to make errors in my grammar and punctuation, which is something I always jokingly take the piss out of other people for because ‘I’m an english student’. But that is somethign I’m quote proud of though, I guess. English always seems like quite a prestigious degree, but I don’t entirely know why. I’m...
I've just realised...
…that I am going to be LOADED when I get back to uni. A combination of birthday, christmas, working over christmas and my student loan being about £300 more than my accommodation fees for the spring term means I will be shopping like there’s no tomorrow :D
I’ll blatantly blow it on useless stuff.
The work load for the end of term is quickly diminishing. I just finished my...
Work never happens the way you want it to
I fully intended to do lots of work today. I have 2 essays, a portfolio and a bunch of web quizzes to do before the 19th, but I wanted to get them done this week, so as to be able to chill out in the lead up to christmas. Last night, I sat down and wrote out a timetable for the week, giving myself plenty of time to relax as long as plenty of work got done. For example, today should have gone like...
Stuff and Ting
What HAVE I been up to?
Well, yesterday (as in thursday, even though it’s technically saturday now), I had my usual lunch with Freya at 12 and then our lecture at 1. The lecturer was italian and looked about 12, but he was quite quirky and, according to my housemate, Lisa, all the ladies were swooning for him. Afterwards, Freya and I ventured to Vybarr’s office. Vybarrrrrrr is our...
Recently...
…I watched an episode of Chris Morris’s Jam after not having watched it in years. I’d forgotten just how delighfully nightmarish it is. I found myself actually disgusted, but entertainingly so, at some sketches. Some are actually disturbing, like the opening monologues. The one I saw was about a woman who took her dog for a walk and realised, after being confused by the kids in...
Who'd have thought?
I had an awesome lecture today. That’s right. It was awesome.
Poetry Theory and Practice on a tuesday afternoon can often be hit and miss. Lectures alternate between two lecturers: David Herd and Jan Montifiore. David Herd looks like Edgar Wright with shorter hair and no glasses while Jan Montifiore looks like an advert for a charity shop. Jan rambles, drops unfunny jokes and ends up...
I have half an hour...
…until my next dose of pills. I don’t want to do work, so I decided to do this :)
I put on my iPod as well while I write. At the moment it’s on Pogo by Digitalism. Tune.
So I’m ill. I spent most of my day at Sabi’s in Tyler court. She studies film and has to make a film and asked me to be in it. It’s basically about a couple who have split up but still have...
Tonsils!
Urgh. It’s been confirmed. I have tonsillitis. I thought it was just a throat infection, but then last night, the pus! I went to the medical centre this morning and she looked at my throat and immediately went ‘ahhh yep’ and prescribed me some penicillin. Now I’m popping 6 pills every 4 hours. GAY!
Damn you Anna! But it’s worth it, really :)
