Small World

Well, I am feeling a little better today. Evenings are not my best time. I tend to get twinges of existential angst when it gets dark, for no apparent reason. Still a little under the weather but not so emotional as last night.

I am actually not going to spend as much time online, I have decided. This is because I have an exam on Wednesday, have not started revising (and its physics, which I am not good at), and I also have to write up a practical. I have yet to do anything and have been spending my time a) in the pub, b) on the internet and c) killing people in my game. So tomorrow I will be good and (after the pub, natch) will start revising and writing up. I cannot start coming over all fatalistic this time, it may have worked in divinity (where I managed to get my best marks in subjects I had not revised in and on one occasion, had not attended the classes) but I doubt it will work in science.

I am currently experimenting with caffeine-free coke, and not liking it much. I have a headache, which probably means I drink way too much caffeine at normal times, but hey.

I have to go to the hotel for my "sitting reading in the pub" time tomorrow, as there is a match between Arsenal and Newcastle, apparently. Now although Newcastle is "my" team, I will go elsewhere, because, being in London, the pub will be packed with Arsenal supporters.

Parents are both buzzing because they went to see The Producers (again) last night. Apparently dad met a man with a toyboy who had a miniature dog. This was something they found exciting. Also dad is now embarassed - he felt so sorry for himself over getting food poisoning that he told all his colleagues, wanting sympathy. Now he is getting concerned calls from everyone he knows, people all over the world are ringing to find how he is - he was quite disturbed to find his clients in Houston knew. Which just goes to show that telling everyone how poorly you feel can rebound on you. Reminds me of a guy I knew at university who managed to set his pants on fire while microwaving them, and everyone in Scotland knew about it within about two hours.

Its a small world.
