Quite a few people have mentioned that I seem pretty stressed out and unrelaxed (if there is such a word) recently, so I guess I’d better explain why: House Still haven’t found a house for next year, there don’t seem to be any two bedroom flats anywhere in Manchester, and the few that are available […]
Return of the Sith
I’m guessing pretty much everyone who reads my blog and is going to see episode three of Star Wars has already done so. For those of you who haven’t, I’ll try and avoid too many spoilers, although I’m sure you know the basic storyline anyway. 🙂 As most people will know, I’ve been to see […]
Book meme
Seeing as Cez tagged me and I’m not one to spoil the fun (feel free to fill this in via the comments if you don’t have a blog): 1. Total number of books I own: Far far too many. I honestly couldn’t count them all. Suffice to say I have at least 200 Doctor Who […]
Six things about you (answers)
Seeing as I got a rather larger (and much faster—all in one day nearly!) response to Something about you than I expected, I’ve decided to put the answers in a separate post. If I haven’t mentioned you yet put a comment here or in the previous post and I’ll update the entry. Here goes… (in […]
Something about you
This is currently doing the rounds on LiveJournal and often produces interesting results so here goes (feel free to ignore if you don’t like these meme things): Reply and I’ll write something about you.

I just want to be friends
Chris posted this on UA today and I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it: Joelogon’s Foolproof Guide to Making Any Woman Your Platonic Friend (suitable for work, not suitable for people who don’t like satire/poking fun at stereotypes) Update: I didn’t post this because I’m bitter about anyone, seeing as a couple of people […]

Things going well
Wednesday started quite well this week, managed to get both my graphics and algorithms final labs marked, although a lack of demonstrators (who didn’t seem to realise that the marking session was scheduled for today) meant that it took longer than expected. I got full marks in algorithms, which was good, but only half marks […]
Coming to the end
It’s that time of year again when everyone gets into a sudden panic as they realise that half a dozen pieces of coursework are due in for the last week of term, and as usual I’m not an exception to the rule. I’ve been slaving away all weekend working on labs, but fortunately I’ve nearly […]
