Final week

And in times of elimination,

We've got nothing to lose,

Please repeat the message,

It's the music that we choose ..

This week is the last week of university. Come thursday, I will never have another seminar. Sure, there's another essay to be finished on top of two written exams and two oral exams, but it's a start. I can't even express how awesome a start this is.

I've nothing interesting to add, as I'm up to my neck in work and revision, so I'll leave you with a joke which I overheard in a cluster.

A dog walks into a job centre and asks if there are any jobs available.

"Wow, a talking dog!" says the clerk. "With talent like that we could get you a job at the circus!"

The dog looks bewildered.

"The circus?" he asks "What the hell does the circus want with a plumber?"

Baby names

Due to lack of interest, tomorrow is cancelled,

Let the clocks be reset and the pendulum held,

'Cos there's nothing at all, except the space in between

Finding out what you're called and repeating your name ..

One of my housemates recently told me a story about someone they know who's just become a dad, at our age. Apparently he's not exactly father material, though to avoid hypocrisy it's worth noting I'd be pretty balls at it as well. Anyway, this housemate often reads on here. I often begin telling her anecdotes from my life and she stops me midway and says "yeah I know, I read it on your blog", and then taps her foot impatiently and asks if I'm going to buy milk anytime soon.

Anyway, I consider this blog to be more of a public service than anything else, so if she reads this in the near-future, she might consider forwarding this post to the new father, because it's never too early to think about names. Suggestions:

That we walked in fields of gold ..

I had a dream last night that I was Harry Potter, being chased by a transformer kind of robot round some kind of open-air refinery. About the Harry Potter bit, I wasn't exactly Harry per-se, I was still me, but I was Harry in that dream-world kind of way, where you know you're something even though you're nothing like it. You know what I mean. And I remember swinging from the top of some tower, landing on the ground and finding out Chewbacca was with the transformer.

Something like this.

It was actually pretty scary and less awesome than it sounds.

Little Miss Sunshine and Alien vs. Predator have both been on tv tonight, both pretty sweet films, so I'm gonna kill some more time on Paint. All pictures copyright Max.
