Big Summer Fun!!!

Okay so I know its only late spring, but the hot weather is truly upon us.

Finished my Literature Review last Tuesday, and then proceeded to have a bit of a nervous breakdown. Recovered in time for the weekend..the best being Saturday Night when I went out to see The Mummy Returns (verdict like the first one, + then some, top 🙂 ), curried and then drank and smoke until the early hours of the morning. Top blokes night out!

My brother George came round last night, from his college in Wakefield, which was nice since we’ve both been busy for the last 3 months or so.

Had a good day today, got a good chunk of my Java out of the way. Certainly past the worse of this terms’ Assignment/Exam pressure.

YES!!!

Nearly finsihed the epic that is the literature Review. Quick clean up tomorrow and then hand it in.
Then get moderatly drunk. Only one more month to go then all the exams and assignments are out of the way.

Amen to that.

My what a weird weekend

…or rather lack of one. Busy plodding away at my Litrature Review for my Masters….so while Rach has been to her parents for her dads’ birthday…and the rest of the world went on the piss last night…I stayed in hammering the keyboard.

Much the same today..got up 9ish…watched the end of this mornings Dr Who Omnibus..then by 10 I was at it again.

Had some human contact around lunch time when a pair of mad christians (you know the “were so normal you can see the absence of any soul” type) came round doing a “community survey” since which ever mad soul less sect they belong to is thinking of setting up a church in the area.

Classic Q&A session though from the half-brain dead Mr Newt though;

Q. “What do you think needs doing in the local area”

My answer “Unblocking the drains during summer….well they smell bad”

Q. “Why do you think people don’t go to Church”

My answer “Because they are not Christians”

oh yes hours of soul sapping fun.

They disappeared, after having the cheek to ask my name (no I’m not having you round again….being all familiar and trying to convince me to join your mad cult) and I got back to work .

About 5 Rachel returned home….and I reallised how cranky I was. Have been destressing ever since…just had a lovely bath…a nice chinese take out is also on the cards…

Then back to the Front….

(work work work work work. etc etc)

Album of the week

wanna know what is rocking Mr Newt’s boat at the moment.

well it the rather splendid new lp by Fear Factory….Digimortal

can’t beat a bit of Cybermetal for those mathothon programming sessions I have found.

Big Dirty LIAR!!!

Well after depriving myself of online connectivity for one day, I’m back!!!

okay so I’m addicted…plus I’m doing my Masters project on Dynamic Web-database driven webpages, so I need it for research. So its an investment in my future rather than pissing money away.

Right of to lock my self away to do my literature review now….

Adios Pt2

….don’t worry about me though, the revision and Assignments are going well. In fact I am dead calm and happy while my coursemates are freaking, the lastest drone is “I’m STRESSING OUT!!!”. Oh ho hum dum dum de da dum.

Just I don’t want to be paying for all this dumb Inferner stuff…

So slaya later.
