Happy…

Merry Christmas…

Update to my life
I’ve had a few weeks back at University so far and I quite enjoy it, for the most part. My third year modules ‘Contemporary Social Theory’ and ‘Clinical and Social perspectives on Mental Health’ module are both really interesting and I enjoy the lectures. The third option I picked ‘Applied Cognitive Psychology’ has strangely been cancelled for the year – I should maybe assume the teacher couldn’t do it this year. So I have to pick another one right away this week. Read More
No, no, no, no…really, I haven’t died.
I haven’t had the time, will or energy recently to make a new entry.
Long story short I’ve gone back to university for my final year of my BSc (Hons) in Sociology and Psychology, and I’ve also just moved house with my other half. Other notable events? I’ve made a Good Reads account, from which I also plan to add reviews both here and there of what I’m reading right now. I probably won’t bother reviewing things I’ve read in the past, as they wouldn’t be fresh enough for me personally to do them justice. So, here’s my profile.
Bye.
Guide to Cats
Watch this entertaining ‘Engineer’s Guide to Cats’, I love it’s deadpan delivery. I also recommend then watching ‘Advanced Cat Yodelling’. That is all.
Been away for a while…
So, the website has been away for a while. We were having a lot of problems with our content hosting company. It had recently changed hands in terms of ownership, and while there didn’t seem to be any malicious cutting of quality – it doesn’t seem as well turned out in terms of support. So we’ve gone to a new host. Oh well.
To make up for this long absence I’ve at least been busy making website content. I’ve completed three new pictures. The first is a portrait sketch of Sherlock Holmes from the new BBC series ‘Sherlock’ here > Link. I really enjoyed the series while it was on TV so I had to pre-order it. The pilot episode was very strange and very wrong but still Sherlock. Cumberbatch was very…neat. Read More
Final Birthday Update
Had a very good evening.
Peter and Nicki came over first bearing gifts of Malibu and cake. We watched the beginning of Ponyo, which is a very cute film, and did some catching up. Then Bob and Bren arrived from their Blood Bowl league night. More talking, ordering take out and playing a little rock band.
Take out then arrived, and we played Talisman (board game), drank things, ate take out and generally had a good time. Had a Doctor Who birthday cake! Very nice, turned our tongues blue. And I won at Talisman in the end. And everyone went home. ^^
Feel slightly sick today from drinking and cake, but not too bad. And next door have moved out…so an army of builders has arrived to gut the house….they’re very noisy ¬¬
Presents for me!
As already stated I turned 21 today.
^^ Finally. So, Presents from Peter: Lush canvas bag, two boxes of Thorntons, The Salmon of Doubt and The Rise of the Iron Moon books, Ponyo on Blu-ray, some nice things from the Body Shop, and a How to Draw Erotic Manga book.
I also got 25 pound in cheque from my uncle, 21 pound in check from my grandparents and 200 from my parents. Awesome there too. ^^
And cards, and a badge, and Balloons, and Alcofrol.
Happy Birthday to Me!
I turned 21 today. More to follow.
