I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,
Roman cavalry choirs are singing,
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield,
My missionaries in a foreign field ..

Fuck bureaucracy.
It seems new developments are afoot in the ongoing saga of Max's financial crusades. We've already established the current money situation, or lack thereof, and yesterday provided another kick in the teeth for the whole situation. It seems that Leeds University require a £25 fee for not being able to take my tuition payment on the day that they'd have liked. "Why was the money not in your account on said day?", I hear you cry! Because it wasn't ready, was it Leeds? Remember, like I told you it wouldn't be? When I trecked down to and navigated the E.C.Stoner building, labyrinthine hellhole of the Gods, to find your office and tell you that my money would be unavailable on this date? Did this slip your mind? You bastards.
So now I'm forking out another weeks worth of money, which will probably end up in the pocket of the pencilpushers who drafted the scattershot money rules. Another condition of the first rule is that if I don't pay the original £25 fee, I get charged the same amount again. I've spent last night and today thinking about how I can turn this completely negative situation into something that slightly less resembles anal rape, but no luck as of yet. Open to suggestion. Email me.
Christmas is also steadily approaching, or has already arrived if you're unlucky enough to live in one of those places that sells christmas cards from mid-September onwards. Another ceremony to the plastic machinations of our consumer economy, which continues its spiralling journey downward ever more. God bless the ravenous devouring of unabashed shit and marked-down prices on plastic stuff that cost pennies, if not less, to make and import. So, will we all get what we asked for? Crappy miscellanea, that will blink and serve standalone functions, all of which perform at lesser quality than a multiple function item of the same purpose? I try my best not to be "Ebenezer Martin", in the words of a great friend, during this time. Maybe its just the money situation, or the fact that the weather is shite, or that there's yet more German to do. Modern Warfare 2, never have you looked so tempting as you do now.
I have another lecture at 4.00. Thankfully not more German, but my policing module. Interesting stuff, I'll tell you about it one day. One day.
