Oh Deer - Part 2 2007-01-07 15:16:24 Well, TA was calling for the photographs and I duly, faux-reluctantly obliged.
If you, too, have the morbid curiosity then follow the links through and you’ll find the pictures at the bottom of the thread!

Deers secretly playing football? 2007-01-05 11:48:45 Did you know about this? I didn’t.
We’ve got one of those pretty decent size football nets in the garden and this morning there was quite a distressing site… A full grown deer entangled in the net, dead on the lawn. Read more:secretly
Drug Spiders 2007-01-05 02:42:02 Video for today, courtesy of MCC from TA!
I was duped until just after the mention of a ‘hammock’, old habits strike chords I think! They also die-hard, as I’m gonna have to continue to battle against in ‘07! La la la… Video link:

Library Chumps 2007-01-05 02:30:05 WTF is it with libraries? I pay my respect to the silent study rules for the most part, and if I don’t I whisper. I’m there to *attempt* to work at least, so why have some people gotta be such grade A asswipes about it?
I don’t think I’d mind if they weren’t all lairy hoodied up swaggering segregating skinny ponces with ridiculous haircuts. This is the University of Herts library, the LRC, in case this makes any difference in the categorisation of the stereotype..
Mannnn.. It’s f*cking hard to concentrate when the goon across from you is describing to another group of punk ass friends how he fell over running for a bus in a stuffed up big-nose tone. I’m glad you broke your wrist and can no-longer drive, have fucked up your revision schedule accordingly and you flunked your group project, loser! Harsh, but check to the right >> says irreverent doesn’t it?!!!

Jaguar.. Yeah mate! 2007-01-03 18:20:51 I’ll happily have one of these! Surely the production version will be less impressive, but it’s a top design!

Speaking of cars… I’m so fucking sick of mine, but will need to wait until at least the end of uni.. Pahhh.

Arsenal vs. Charlton & sleeping in libraries 2007-01-03 01:12:11 Well, 4-0…
It’d be wrong to say the scoreline was flattering, but hardly the most stellar performance. We seriously need to up the atmosphere at the Emirates still.. Justin HOYTE HOYTE HOYTE! Arsenal
players are loving the dancing of late, must be a new training ritual. Well funny to see Thierry and Ade’s planned celebration, Wenger got a Hi-5 too. Hoyte wins the award for most enthusiastic dance and celebration though. Props!
Charlton
go 3 down, and towards the end of the match we’re totally mute..
“THREE NIL, AND YOU STILL DON’T SING.. THREE NIL……”
Then three becomes four, and predictably it’s “WHO ARE YA!”.. For a short duration, before they cleverly alter their chant slightly… Something like:
“FOUR NIL, AND YOU STILL DON’T SING!”
Hmmm. They’re absolutely right too.. Rubbish.
Fell asleep in the library today, for f*cking ages as well! Over-stimulation to the enthralling Business Str
This morning… 2007-01-02 02:48:49 Sorry, afternoon. Wow. I mean… Feeling FRESH all day!
Think I got my moneys worth, easily 24 hours worth of intoxication from one evening. Don’t remember twelve o’clock - can’t have been that special! Hmmm, I hope not. Autumn House was cool though, better than I expected, had a wicked time! Continued until well into the early hours, ironically enough ending with an argument over memory techniques and stuff. Now then, where’d those 3 hours or so go?!!
Just a few notes for today.. If I ever see another cat again it’d be too soon.
NEW YEARS EVE! 2006-12-31 19:11:57 Sianara 2006… Make way for a far better ‘07.
Low key affair to bring it in tonight, no idea how it’ll turn out.. What’s everyone up to? Either which way, have a dope time.
Glad the Sheffield vs. Arsenal match wasn’t on during term now as I surely would have gone.. Abysmal performance, fucked up. Will be at the Emirates for Charlton so hopefully that’ll be better. Can’t fail to be.
I really need to be getting ready.. Beautiful evening for it, accustomed to this dreary wet slippery rubbish all the time now, not even a crisp frost. Global warming’s fucking it all up.. Anyone else seriously considering an all out re-location this coming year?
That’s it.. So.. Bye bye…
& Happy New Year!
[disclaimer - image bears no resemblence to anything I shall be doing tonight! Seriously…! Best one I could find in a rush.]

Worlds apart 2006-12-29 21:22:51 Damn.. Things often get put into perspective, don’t they?
I won’t go into the details since it’s not really my place, but it’s important to be charitable. Give, and you will receive, they say.. Firm believer. My brothers friend who’s stayed with us for a few days; woah talk about tough breaks. Through that comes adversity. I can’t imagine what would have become if I was in the same shoes. Mother passed, father lives in Seattle on the third marriage, step/half-relations all over the show, boarding school since nine y/o… Come on man.. How difficult is that? Somehow he’s on top of it all, Nottingham University, thoroughly nice chap and all the rest. Full credit to the guy.

Arsenal, iPhone, IE vs. Firefox 2007-01-10 05:10:49 Very quick round-up, I’m knackered. Awesome evening though!

Also, for those of you who aren’t, errr, ‘cool’ enough to read gadget blogs like me, the Apple iPhone

Kudos to Woosey on TA for the video..
JFDI 2007-01-09 15:17:58 I was wondering when this would come.. Got a postcard through my door this morning. It’s one I wrote to myself 6 months ago at the end of an Enterprise/Entrepreneurial skills course.
The course was awesome, I really did learn a lot and I plan to go through all the notes and resources I acquired from there again soon. There were several really influential speakers, some brilliant sessions, and one on one’s with successful and discerning business mentors. Very insightful experience overall. Not least the ‘Networking’ session which was fantastic, something I need to work on above all else. Some nice people too, although most turned out to be ignorant flopping gits. Plus, dare I say it, a bit of an obsessor; you may notice from some blog comments!
Tae-kwon-do? Give a sh*t! 2007-01-09 03:00:24 Yo yo.
So we played the 5-a-side… Rinsed them out first half, second half we got beat down and were about as quick off the mark as subbuteo players. Black lungs, lack of practice and general laziness are all to blame of course. Without the ‘gaffer’ as it were, who is supposed to be a don and I bet that’s true.. Haven’t seen him play in tiiiime. Instead we had Bill [surname
5-a-side 2007-01-08 20:19:38 Playing 5-a-side football with some boys shortly.. Is it wrong to be a little bit nervous?!

Monkey Boy 2007-01-12 01:24:43 Anyone disagreeing with Darwin is clearly a fool, here’s video evidence! I’d love to be able to do that.. Running’s difficult enough on its own but throw all the flips and twists in the mix… Mad skills! It’s ‘Parkour’ or ‘freerunning’ as you’ll probably know, and reminds me of my favourite scene from Casino Royale; the opener with Sebastien Foucan. So while we’re on the topic, District 13 is a thoroughly dope French flick, well worth watching if you haven’t seen it already!

Today at the Library 2007-01-13 00:20:35 Getting boring, innit. I can’t wait to resume normal uni life and just get smaaaaashed basically.
Got home now, 9pm. 8 hour shift, I’d give it a 40% work conversion rate, which is a particularly decent attempt! Completed “Poker Million Masters” on my phone, not incredibly challenging, still fun though. Had some long breaks and reminisced on Primary School class characters with JP, sent some text messages - only time I ever seem to do that, drunk loads of pepsi, oh, and read a few sinfully boring (sleeping) strategy journals.
Sonia’s creeping round the Square in E-double right now as I speak. The BBC Three repeat.. As if she wouldn’t get caught, trying to sneak that parrot nosed bananaman-chinned god-awful mug round and escape attention. Just why is Phil helping her anyway? Because he’s a hero, and Eastenders god IMO.
There aren’t too many of those left. I think Sean is waiting in the wings as a future one, however! Chelsea and Deano look Read more:Today

This is exactly why it's impossible not to at least want one 2007-01-12 23:13:23 Even if you’ll get all brash and resentful at the ‘fashion victims’ who buy them and all this bullsh*t ‘fanboyism’ spiel that gets spouted. Who cares about all that? I just want one because it’s cool, I’d enjoy using it so long as it doesn’t break or get stolen by a some ‘yewt’ with a massive hood.

Womens Darts 2007-01-13 03:03:19 Please… SPARE ME!
You know, if I was at the Lakeside, the mens darts had finished for the day and I wanted a few more beers - I might watch it… Jeering very loudly. But televised? Seriously? Get outta town!
Monstrosities like Andy Ford with his equally fat and stumpy darts are bad enough, but there’s something distinctly macho-lesbian about these horrible sovereign-sporting excuses for females. I’m all for televising more female sport, whatever you like.. Put on some netball with hot uniforms or something.. I could take that! Beach volleyball failing that. Maybe the other way round on second thoughts.. Whatever, Womens Darts
?! WTF man!!
I hate that stupid blonde hoe that wins it every year - yep, there we go, she’s just won it for the seventh time. She can go celebrate with a pint of bitter, probably… Urgh.

Student Loan Shopping 2007-01-15 03:37:57 Yup, mine’s through. A mixed blessing for my bank account, then..
Bought one of these ^ !! To go with my ‘PadKontrol’.. Sweeeet! It’s the last piece of music production kit that I, someone with absolutely no skill and little known talent, will waste my money on, I promise. Then again, “wasting” is subjective now isn’t it! M-Audio Oxygen 8 V2.. Not particularly impressive or dear, probably make a nice paperweight someday when there is less time for such recreational pursuits!
Anyway.. Library today briefly; dull, rubbish, sinfully boring Business Strategy; strategic yet skillful and unintentional procrastination. Woo!
Played 5-a-side again tonight at Mill Hill Powerleague.. Only six players this time since Clinton Sparks (aka Sol Cambpell with one wooden leg) wasn’t on the team, and the ‘gaffer’ is away still. The pricks didn’t turn up! WTF is that about? I’d stopped revising unnecessarily early to come down and tw Read more:Student

Postman.. 2007-01-17 00:40:36 Yoo… So the postie came this morning with the midi keyboard already! Plus something which must be from eBay for my little bro. I BADLY want to open it, surprised I haven’t tbh. :p
Nice! It’s bigger than I expected, but yeahh man I love it already! Set it up with Ableton for a quick play, it’s gonna be jokes! 10 days.. Will be heading back up to until with barrrre new gadgets.. Bo! My room is a serious haven and any Sheffield heroine hoodlum could seriously sort themselves out if they deciding to bust in.. Luckily it seems that being so close to a junkie rehabilitation centre is a deterrent in itself! Too close to home, must be. Not nice having a dude from the council come round with an extended litter picker searching for needles and picking up spoons and foil though..

Pressssssure 2007-01-24 17:17:17 Stressssssssss. That’s what my essay’s on.. Due Friday. Some big nights ahead; bo!
Check it; wonder if that ‘turnitin’ bullshit will pick up on this already:
What is stress? Stress is a concept, a discourse, a blanket term which could be seen to encapsulate other such concepts as anxiety, frustration, pressure, apprehension, distress, confusion, antagonism, despair, exhaustion, overwork, over-focusing, mourning, fear, and so on.
The perspective is rooted in social constructionism which is actually f*cking interesting, and one which I wholly subscribe to. So really, I better get back at it. Masses to do, as ever for me when deadlines loom. ‘Stress’ - not a bad topic to be doing an essay on I suppose, something we’re all familiar with however vague the concept itself is!
Anyway.. ordered this badboy since my EX-S100 packed in. Well, more like I smashed it up by dropping it and bashed it around pished trying to fix it. Yeahhh.. Really gonna wor
Returned from hiatus.. 2007-01-30 03:49:55 Back.
For how long? It’s impossible to tell. Sometimes you think; I really cba writing anything today. Often actually. I guess you just have to sit down and see what happens. But what really is the point? What is this trying to achieve, what purpose does it serve? What interest is it to anyone? F*ck knows.. Who cares.
Oh, in fact today it was stated I “obviously have a lot of time on my hands” from a particular Bristolian.. Well of course I do Spliffy. I’m a floundering around doing nothing substantial, a lot like school, remember? Where would you be assuming I’m busy? I think perhaps the whole point of this thing is to use some of this time reflection or something, anything more productive than being dormant.
So… yeah! On a lighter note.. Managed to get the essay in after “pulling an all nighter”. It will have suffered consequently, but what can you do? I had time in abundance but get to it only once I can actually mentally picture the s
