Up for Review

I've started a new blog, it's for reviewing things; restaurants, bars, clubs, markets, delicatessens, gig venues, hair-dressers, etc, etc. Basically whatever I fancy.

For now I'm going to update it quite a lot, to get a bit of content in there and make it worth looking at. After a while this will drop to one review per week. Before then, though, this place is probably going to get neglected again. Not much, just a bit - I won't be looking for things to write here, I'll be looking for things to write there instead.

Have a peak at the new one if you're bored and have the time, and feel free to leave a comment. I'll put a permanent link to it in the links section later, once it's been running a while.

Moving

My excuse for not blogging much lately:

I've been working and organising a flat-move. The new flat is huge. The last tenants were apparently completely insane. Also probably quite ill.

Don't ask me about the move unless you have time to hear me rant. Trust me, I'll be ranting about it here soon.

Study Leave

I know I've not written a post for a few days, so it's a little poor of me to be writing this one now, but, well... tough.

Unless anything particularly exciting/alarming/interesting/hilarious occurs I'm going to avoid posting here for a while. I've got exams to pass and this is just a giant encouragement of procrastination.

No idea how long I'll manage to go without writing anything, but I'll definitely be back when all my exams are done, if not before.

Feel free to talk among yourselves.

Mhhreeehh

The calculus exam is over, only algebra and ExCos left... so realistically only Algebra left if we're going to consider real exams. Algebra is on Saturday, and while ExCos isn't until the 19th, I think I can assume that I'll be able to write real blog posts by Monday. I intend to spend Saturday drunk (after my exam) and Sunday eating Christmas diner with my flatmates.

I'm not functioning particularly well, it comes from studying too much maths I think. I spent an unusal lengthof time yesterday completly unable to speak cohearently. It was... amusing, but also kind of scary.

So, no real post today I'm afraid. Mostly because I'm in real dangerof making maths/physics based jokes, and that just plain isn't ok.

The Weather Outside is Frightful

And if I light a fire in the flat I violate the terms of my lease.

We do however now have a pretty Christmas tree, with pretty silver things on it, also chocolate (not as pretty as the silver things, but definitely tastier). This leads me to believe that victory is mine once again.

Also, thanks to Euan, simple harmonic motion is now officially my bitch, which means now all I have to master is the rest of the syllabus, and I'll pass the test on Monday with flying colours.

I've always thought the word syllabus sounds oddly like it should be used to describe a particularly nasty demon - but maybe that's just me.

All in all it's been a successful day, and I don't want to waste time writing a real blog post, or that would make it seem less successful, and then I wouldn't get the prize... I sure hope someone, somewhere is preparing some kind of prize, or there might be Hell to pay, and I'll have to chose the person who pays it comepletely at random. Otherwise it might not be fair.

You can't say I haven't warned you.

I lied

I'm sorry, but I did. I didn't think I was lying, but it turns out that I was.

I guess the odds of me updating this blog regularly are not so great, simply because usually when I have something interesting to say, I say it to the next person I encounter (providing I know them of course, some of my interesting thoughts should not be shared with random strangers) and get it out of my system.

On the occasions when this doesn't work, I can rarely be bothered to go online, log in, and write it all down.

Should I manage to get online, with the intention of writing it all down, I tend to get distracted by checking my email, then my other email, then facebook, then bash.org, then "ohhh, look what the featured wikipedia article is" then random browsing because by that point I've forgotton why I turned on my laptop. I struggle to complete online assignments for the same reasons.

If procrastination was an olympic sport, I wouldn't even show up.
