Going to Washington DC for the weekend, cu guys later ;o

This gives my housemates 4 days to remember it's my birthday on friday!

HOLY SHIT D<

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

FFXI related post inc.




So I bailed on dynamis last night because I was a little drunk and sleepy and pissy about Odin stuff, then got a little more irked that I didn't win the lot on Duelist Chapeau (that litterally dropped like 5 minutes after I joined in cause I missed the start) so I went to sleep.

TURNS OUT ANOTHER ONE DROPPED D8 And it was the only drops that night or some shit

I HATE YOU DYNAMISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS





 

Oh.

So...

Apparently our landlord died and nobody thought to tell us. We didn't even know until Midget phoned up to ask the landlord to come fix her bed >____________________________________________>;; Helloooooo uncomfortable conversation.


Ope.


MY RENT CHEQUES WON'T GO OUT THE BANK D8 THIS IS GONNA TOTALLY THROW ME OFF.



I suppose on the plus side I had a delightful catch up with my old teacher Mr Roberts... Stuart. ( D8 ) Chatted a lot about old timesssss, sadly my old Latin teacher passed away earlier this year >: he was quite the character (actually all of my old teachers were). We talked a lot about SCIENCE and such. He's recommended me some good folk to get in contact with... Little did I know it turns out he's actually something of a world authority on BEEEEEEEEEEES and wasps and pollination so...  a very handy person to have around! I think we'll go out for some more coffee later this term and more chit chat. He was telling me about all the stuff he's been up too, conferences in Washington, India and all over the shop.


SO.
ANYWAY.

It was a good day.

Apart from SUPER CRINGEWORTHY landlord news.

I have a meeting in uhhh 1hr or so but I don't wanna go /cry
I haven't done any work on my dissetation this week T_T I'll have to work doubly hard next week to make up for it I guesssss.




In other news, I offered to play devils advocate for my discussion group in Animal Welfare. I kinda wish I hadn't now. I have to put together a convincing argument FOR the keeping of whales and dolphins in captivity... which is like... absolutely nill. I dropped an email to Sea World in the vague hope that they could hook me up, after all, if anyones gonna be trying to convince the world that dolphins and whales are AWESOME in tanks then it'll be Sea World tbh.


Hmm ho what else, I have a seminar to do on Human Altrusim (what does this even have to do with my degree) a piece on the Honduran white bat (don't ask) and a presentation on the mini and macrotaxonomy of bats.

Fun.



I bumped into my old teacher back from year 6 and 7 in middle school, he's an entomologist working in conjunction with my uni specializing in beeeeeeees and pollination. Haven't seen him around since I was a wee fresher but by luck I happened to walk past him on tuesday on my way back from class, so I guess he must be in Reading again. We're meeting up for coffee later in the week and I'm gonna pester him about whether he needs a post grad student to help him out with work hint hint wink wink.

It's so ingrained into me to call him Sir I have a really hard time calling him Stuart >:





ALSO

THIS IS THE BEST SOUP EVER:

Oh tits, gotta finish cleaning room tonight.




sunrisecandy gonna think I live in a dump. Which I do. But I like to pretend sometimes it's like a normal persons house 8o


Also my SIG-552 for airsoft arrived last week, can't wait to use it at halloween (why yes,  I am going to play airsoft over halloween) shit looks badass. May possibly go to London expo next weekend, as tempting as the notion of chasing usagikun around his flat with an airsoft gun is I think I'll leave it here and not risk getting shot. /lolguns.

I'll do a proper livejournal update later when I'm not merely procrastinating on going down to campus.

Spending the day shooting freshers and kids with small plastic bullets.

cu guys later.

loluniversity.

Only 5 modules this term totalling to 11hrs of class. Plenty of free time to work on my dissetation... yeah....


Only one 9am start (thursday) and fridays off = awesome.

oooorz only two weeks till term starts again.


Freshers week next week, I'm actually... doing work for a society this year! Gonna be dressing up in full camo and advertising airsoft soc. Though I suspect I'm gonna end up stuck behind the desk all day rather then getting to go walk around handing out flyers, but I think I'll live. Should be fun either way.


Also Alex got back from his stay in Venice and spent about 2 hours telling me about all the saucy italian men he saw.
I love our little strange conversations.

Yesterday on the walk down to town for some shopping we spent a good half an hour discussing the issue of "What would we do if there was a zombie apocalyspse tomorow." I felt a little sorry for the people walking behind us.

Some art I been working on lately on and off in between other things, I started colouring it in but it's so boring to colour huge things in when they're boringly monotenous in colour. I downloaded a trial version of coral painter 11 but when I try and load the .psd into painter it makes painter lag a bit D: which is really annoying. I wonder if maybe thats because the file is so big and the laptop doenst like it, idk. It's like 2500x3000px but it doesnt hang in photoshop... maybe I should just try track down an older version of painter.

Ooooo! Tempers are gettin frayed in the house!

Housemate B has taken to avoiding everyone aside from me (and bitching to me about the others) and staying in her room all evening and leaving passive aggressive notes everywhere.



I never been so happy to live in the smallest most out of the way room in the house :3
