Some handiwork from the weekend.

And Reg looks, acts, and is 57. At least. It's official.

There is going to be a slight problem with my revision when this arrives

Hello

I've kindly been asked to tell everyone that Becki is apparently still hospitalised so the revision session planned for around now isn't on.

Got man-flu today.

I've got too much to do to be ill!

Remember: there is no I in Team America!

Yep. I've had a very good week.

Just thought I'd share that with all you peeps.

Tom

Current Mood: happy
Current Music: Yet more of The Divine Comedy - Absent Friends

Just returned from a 20 hour fieldtrip back home. Wallet found, fed and watered, 'rents happy, got to sleep BEFORE MIDNIGHT, (was) awoke(n) BEFORE DOUBLE FIGURES - and came back to cleaner house, and I've been thinking its Wednesday all day - woohoo!

On with the essays. Grumble mumble.

Megan is ok. She's in Kuala Lumpur which wasn't affected by the quake.

Getting a bit worried now. Megan "Tectonic" Shute, last known to be travelling in the direction of Malasia for some debating IV, hasn't answered my email I sent two days ago to say she's ok.

Kirsten, who was in the Thailand stage of her world tour, is ok. I found this out thanks to a 50 minute conversation with Rich Angell. He's got some very good ideas, and then some less good ideas, and I still think he doesn't like me.

Any good arguments about prerogative powers both generally and specific to the UK would be much appreciated.

Christmas was good, no family fireworks, a nice and boring time. It did snow though and stayed settled for three days. Got some kitchen gadgets for my housemates to break, a biography of Spike Milligan (like I don't have enough reading to do), an all-the-stops new wireless keyb & mouse from the brother, a nice shirt and tie, some celebrations that Greg has eaten his way through, some lavender oil which has helped the sleep, some fridge poetry words, a global jigsaw, and some carrots. Oh no sorry, the carrots were for the dog.

I have lost my wallet. Last seen on Chrimbo eve. No one is trying to use the cards, so its not stolen, but it's somewhere, and its a bloody nusiance not knowing where it is.

On the good side, Emmas glasses have turned up. They may have been in the car all along.

Need to work more, scrub that, need to work, but need to chill out too. I order my housemates to freely cut the power to my PC anytime they hear me playing Warcraft III.

Current Mood: blank

Yeah, I didn't go about that the best way.

Sorry Jayne.

Hurrah hurrah, the Blunkett's dead, the Blunkett's dead - hurrah, hurrah!

*dances with joy*

No more M15 reports for you Mr Blunkett! No more Met dealings Mr Blunkett! No more harsh sentences for you to continue to overcrowd our prisons Mr Blunkett! No more fast-track Mr Blunkett! No more being useless Mr Blunkett!

Oops, it seems we may have invaded his right to privat... oh wait, there's no such thing anymore, thanks to you Mr Blunkett!

*dances with -

Oh, its bloody Charles bloody Clarke.

$#!£*

My brother just called me to say that he'd got himself arrested earlier in the week.

Perhaps my user info about him was more accurate than I realised.

Hello everyone.


Er.


Vote Mr T for SSO.



Cheers!

FYI. Not got a lot done this week. Kinda had too much to do in too little time last weekend. When I feel just that much too overwhelmed, I kinda do nothin. So did not a lot all week.

But Tom is now off the mat, and has done a shiny newsletter for Selly Oak Campus. Soft money issue ads, don't you just love em. Praise be the West Wing for that idea.

The Campaign starts on Monday, so you'd better be votin, fools. Oh, plus I could use any help for a campaign team!

Now hungry, I go in search of pie.

Current Mood: working
Current Music: some of that William Orbit effort

I've not been posting a great deal lately so I thought I would.

Just came back from the pub - a number of us LLB for Graduates types got together in the Goose. It was quite fun; I found a new friend in Rob, a top Irish geezer, who was well proud of the draw they achieved against France.

Today was tiring yet not the most productive time. It was day one of our two day Student Advice training. Today was a lot of icebreaker stuff, some common sense attitudes to have behind the desk, a listening skills workshop which was pretty lowball, and a "hunt the answer" questionnaire type effort where you had to go round the Guild to answer questions, filling out a map of the place as you went. I had answered most of the questions before we left committee room 5.

I have a jurisprudence supervision at 4pm on Monday and I need to put a lot of hours study into that. Annoying, I was planning on being on SO Campus on Monday afternoon.

Also, I have decided that Mr T shall run for SSO.

Fool.

Yeah yeah receipt of much abuse over not posting for ages...

Too much to report in. Some notable events:

> Greg has finally stopped writing "End of Line" to finish his posts! Yay

> Law will be challenging but fun. Feel much more at home here than I did in CS or the CLL.

> Apparently I look a bit down, but I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed about stuff I signed up for in the first place. This includes:
- fixing my PC
- emailing all the LLB for Graduates
- typing up the email addresses of all the SO Campus Committee members
- emailing all the SO Campus Committee members
- clean, defumigate, dehumidify and kill mouldy things in the bathroom
- stop being ill
- spend lots of money on lots of law books
- and yeah, pay of the credit card
- write a letter of thanks for London residence
- damnit, organise a poker night
- write a certain manifesto (I'll come back to this)
- take photos for a certain manifesto
- do some law work - reading R against Brown for starters
- join the Holdsworth club
- get London photos developed
- return all the leftover marketing materials from SO Campus
- talk to people about getting put on the CLL WebCT
- try again to get in contact with *any* SOCC officers
- join a number of other societies, including Real Ale, Amnesty, and so on
- start my filming project

er thats all I can remember right now.

Right, the Manifesto Carbonara. miss_corinne has come up with a fantastic idea, only I'm not black or built like a brick outhouse:

of mine and Deans

In... about an hour.

Anyone reading this is more than invited!

Please come so I can pretend to have some friends.

What scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?

Okay.

Here's a warning to everyone. I get addicted to computer games.

Don't give me computer games. Really. You won't see me for some time.

I say this because, I have just completed Doom 3.

Someone wake me up later today please.

Current Mood: satisfied & tired

Oh yeah forgot to mention.

While bored at work yesterday I found myself reading the weblog of Richard Allan, MP for Sheffield Hallam (my 'home' constituency). As the most IT-knowledgeable MP he is Chairman of the commons' All Party Internet Group, and reguarly shouts at David Blunkett for being an utter moron.

I met the guy once as he came back to his old school which also happened to be mine at the time.

His weblog is here. While having a browse I found some pretty funny cartoons on his site - check them out, especially the last one.

Current Mood: okay
Current Music: dunno what it is, its on the radio
