Well, unlike the bona fide windswept and interesting Mr. L, my life has taken a turn for DeathBoredom ™ of late. Dissertation is coming along. Currently reading a wealth of stupidly emotive anti-advertising propaganda from various bra burning feminists, whom my friend Will thinks just need a good ‘deep dicking’. I’m inclined to agree. Either way, it’s total discursive candy. Also reading the aptly named ‘Lovemarks’ by the dude of all dudes that is Mr. Kevin Roberts, world CEO of Saatchi And Saatchi, the company I will surely sell my soul to, if there is a god.
On top of this I’ve been mostly buying a new laptop on the apple website, only for my bf to intervene and give the spec a motherfucker of an upgrade.. Boys. Gotta love em. Lesbians never bought me presents : )
No. I’m not. Don’t go there*
Also been fixing up my new place, which is looking rather yummy now, and going to the gym, generally being good, jotting down creative scribbles for my personal projects** and not going out. Boring bastard, eh? All this will change with the advent of the kids returning,*** and all hell being let loose for our final freshers week ever,**** next week. Woo-yay*****, indeed.
Oh yes, and Monaco in less than a month 
* Shagging him for his money.
** designer babies. It’s going to be sooo subversive. Little deformed fuckers with short arms and long legs for carrying the shopping, etc. Fun fun.
*** at last…
**** Erm. Except for my PGCE year, and maybe a masters in Marketing at Edinburgh.
***** New superlatives, please.

update:
Monaco in 22 days, which means taking 3 days out of uni, which I fully expect to get ass raped for.
Computer still hasn’t arrived, and I need at least 5,000 words of dissertation related genius on paper, complete with focknig harvard referencing by next Monday. Cultivating ulcers. Big uns. Welcome to 4th yr.

Dissertations are hell. I wrote mine two days before hand-in-day. It was not fun. Good luck.

Hmmm. Especially when randomly enough, it counts for 20% of your honours. worrying when you’re sat in the middle of a 2:1. Keep thinkin, just as long as it doesn’t effect anything else. I need it to be the wonderbra to my design work. Not t’other way round, inshala.

Yes. I still don’t understand why an essay not about animation was worth a quarter of my animation degree. Luckily, I did well in my dissertation, and royally fucked up my animation, so it was all okay in the end.
Uni is ludicrous, illogical and endlessly frustrating. As I’m sure you are well aware.

I agree with your esteemed colleague, pink iPods come preloaded with Erasure, “Rimi” Somerville and Rufus Wainwright.
I understand the ‘mini’ iPods are optimised for comfortable, stain-free anal insertion.
Sorry.

A pink iPod would rock my fricking baws. Especially if it was loaded with songs about shoes.
