  • Where Are All My Posts Going!

    Wrote a short post a couple of minutes ago, and it's not appearing on the recent posts list! Grrr! :## Why is this blog.co.uk people?

  • Pleased, Really Pleased!

    Just spent about three hours in the library, researching for this Political Thought essay. :yes: Really enjoying it now! :crazy: And, acquiring plenty of notes, too! :P

    Changed my profile photo, again! Back to the Dalek photo! Anticipating the next series of Doctor Who! :crazy:

    Now, as I have done so much work, I think I deserve a break and a warm, delicious cup of Tea! :P

  • Sleep Note Taking

    Just had a lecture on Karl Marx's theories, and managed to write over two and a half pages of notes whilst half asleep! :D Either that means Marxism is easy to understand, or I've just written a load of nonsensical drivel! :crazy: I suspect the latter, though all Marx seems to talk about is capitalism, so maybe it is easy to understand! :)) I'll find out when I get home, and type these notes up!

    Note to self; do not stay up to nearly midnight, when you have to wake up early the next day! Tiredness catches up with you! (Must be a very fast runner!) ;) That's something I should be remembering from my first year! :crazy:

    :wave:

  • Well, It's About Time!

    Today, I'm doing my own list - instead of stealing one from someone else! ;)

    1. Why did you start a blog?
    Because I wanted my own webspace to write down my thoughts and views!

    Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song

    4. Where do you want to be right now?
    I should be in the library doing some work. But, driving somewhere (anywhere) would be nice!

    5. Where are you in reality?
    At home in my front room, listening to my Dad and Uncle discussing England v Ireland match, last weekend!

    6. Why do we like doing (and stealing!) these quizzes?
    Something to post, I suppose!

  • Hmm. This Is Interesting!

    Not sure if this is at all beneficial, but I'm reading and taking notes for my Middle East Politics essay and blogging at the same time! :crazy: Very interesting stuff, though!

    Have to answer the question; Is It True That Religion Has Replaced Nationalism In The Middle East? Currently reading about Pan-Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood; fascinating.

    Why did I just spill all that information on to here? :-/ Hmm. I suppose that is what a blog is for! ;)

    Sitting next to a friend, and talking about football as well! Isn't that a crazy way of working! ;)

  • More Cool Words

    Pernicious
    Discovered this one whilst reading a political thought book! Can't remember the exact context.

    1. a)Tending to cause death or serious injury; deadly: a pernicious virus.
    b) Causing great harm; destructive: pernicious rumors.
    2. Archaic. Evil; wicked.

    Could be used to describe George Bush's Iraq adventure! ;)

    Anarchism

    1. The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished.

    Hands up if you agree with that!

    13.Did you enjoy filling this in?
    Stupid question! Of course I'm going to say yes! :crazy:

  • Random Questions

    Why do they ALWAYS play crappy R&B Pop in the gym? :## I do NOT want to hear Beyonce whilst working out! My ideal workout music would be;

    Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song"
    Green Day (any song, I'm not fussy!)
    Elvis Presley
    Dire Straits

    Plus, any other quality songs that I can't think of here!

    Why am I still in the computer room, when I have essays to research? :crazy: I do not want to fail, again. I want to get a good degree out of this place! :yes:

  • Cool Things I've Learnt Today

    1. When you are no longer thinking about the subject, that you are reading about, it's a good idea to take a break!:yes:

    2. History books have the coolest words;
    definitions from www.dictionary.reference.com

    Manumit

    To free from slavery or bondage; emancipate.

    Ameliorative

    To make or become better; improve.

    Basically, an academic way of saying "reform"!

  • Txt Msgs, Dad and Study

    I have got lots of congratulations text messages on my phone from last Friday. :>> Was considering posting them on to here, but all they seem to say either "congratulations" or "well done", so not much point in posting them. :-/ Will just delete them!

    (Deletes old messages).

    Dad came out of hospital, yesterday evening. He's walking on crutches, and he's not supposed to lie on his side (for obvious reasons!).

    Stayed at the library almost until closing time, yesterday. :yes: Managed about 4 hours of work in total, yesterday, which is brilliant! :>> Suppose I should do some work on that 4000 word History essay that is due in May!

    :wave:

  • Hmm - Not Sure If This Is A Good Post

    Going without alcohol is beginning to suck! Especially when socialising! :-/ I'm only doing this because I can't work under the influence of alcohol! :yes: And, I've given it up for Lent!

    Another oxymoron, this one is pretty obvious! :roll: "Imposing Democracy" - realised that in my Middle East seminar! Hmm. Very political! ;)

    Another thing; www.bloginspace.com has decided that my blog is the most likely to be contacted by aliens! :>> Why they will be interested in my blog, with all the stolen lists, I don't know! ;)

    (This blog will be on the front page of blog in space on the 28 March! :>>

    Dad is still lying on his hospital bed! Hasn't managed to walk, yet; but he did try standing up yesterday. The effect of the morphine has worn off, so he wasn't quite as cheerful, yesterday! Going back up to visit him later; after my driving test!

    Had this weird dream on Tuesday night. I was in a room at university with my friends; we were laughing at something, can't remember what. The Vice-Chancellor came into the room, and told us off for doing something; not sure what it was! Don't know what this is saying about Middlesex University... ;)

    :crazy:

    Happy about the result, yesterday; even though Liverpool's goal should have been disallowed because of a push on Fabregas (Man of the Match!:D)

    Happy, because I've just come out of the gym. For some reason, I get a happy feeling from there! Maybe, it's the blood rushing round my body! :D

    :wave:

  • MP3s And Books

    For some strange reason, my MP3 refuses to play properly if I'm walking/I put the thing in my pocket! Stupid thing! >:-( And, only one headphone works as well! (Though, that is probably my fault!). 8|

    Haven't done any study today (haven't done much this week!). Should really do some reading later, after I've eaten! ;)

  • Stolen From BellaBella

    1. What's the most important track on a mix tape/CD?
    Does this have to be a specific song? I guess it would have to be something that is not too dreary, not cheesy, but fairly upbeat. Walk Of Life by Dire Straits, or Jessie by Joshua Kadison. :D

    2. If you could live forever, would you?
    Hmm. Good question. Probably not, because I'm not sure I could face the consequences of our unecological lifestyles! >:-[

    3. What's your earliest memory that doesn't stem from a photograph or home movie?
    Erm. I think when Mummy was in hospital having Little Sister, and I was running round the house looking for her(Mummy). :oops:

    4. Why did you start your blog?
    Because I was at the beginning of one of these obscenely long University holidays, and was bored.

    5. What colour are you feeling right now?
    Brown. Because I've just eaten a bag of Peanut M&Ms! (I deserve them; I went to the gym this morning!). ;)

    6. Did you just make an answer up to question 5, or are you really able to translate how you're feeling into a colour?

    Donnie Darko

    Me, Me and Me! ;) (Plus anyone who walks in to the room!).

    Learn to ski!

  • We're Through To The Quarterfinals!

    I was going to think of a title that would wind Mr Spencer up - but I didn't want to upset a friend! ;) Though, we would appreciate some luck and support in the next round! ;)

    Didn't see the match, but I hear it was pretty good! Now, when's the draw for the next round? :D Ooh, I'm so happy!

  • Lecturers On Strike

    Didn't come into Uni, yesterday, because of the strike - couldn't bring myself to cross a picket line. Went to the other campus, this morning, for my History lecture. The lecturer then explained (though, I kind of already knew) about the assessment boycott. 88| Meaning that from today, they aren't going to be marking any work! The lecturer seemed to think it would be resolved by the end of the semester. Hope so! Not sure if this will affect me, because I have three essays due at the end of April/May - plus two exams in May! :roll:

    Don't get me wrong, I think they deserve a pay rise. And I hope they get a pay rise. :D

    My History lecturer also said that he didn't think the boycott would stop people graduating (doesn't affect me, don't graduate until next year!). Funny how the media reported something different! ;)

    Not that I'm suggesting the media have their own agenda...

    :wave:

  • Brokeback Mountain

    This film deserves an Oscar! :yes: I feel like watching it again, and again, and again...But my wallet says I can't afford another cinema ticket! ;)

    The story is; hey, you probably all know what it's about - everyone's talking about it! :D Yeah, two cowboys fall in love and attempt to conduct a relationship over the next twenty years. I got really excited at the, ahem, (whispers) sex scenes! ;) >:XX :oops: And spent the second half of the film crying. Don't know why, it was obvious that it was going to end that way! :'(

    Had two old dears sitting next to me in the Cinema. The only positive thing they said about the film was, "the scenery's great". At the end, they complained it was "a bit obscene". What did they expect? It's a film about Gay Cowboys and it is a 15 certificate! Hardly Wallace and Gromit, is it! :## Why didn't they stay at home with their Daily Mail? :crazy: Strange people!

    :crazy:

  • Happy, Happy, Happy!

    Theirry you're a legend! :yes: 4-0 against a team that are great at home! :)) :)) Unfortunately, I've given up alcohol for Lent (why?!), so can't open a bottle of wine/champagne! 88|

    Think I'll go to see Brokeback Mountain instead!

    :))

    :wave:
