I seem to have...ahem......drank too much. This always happens to me and this is the prime example as to why I never drink' date=' now I will most likely have to babysit with a migraine tomorrow..........dammit.[/quote']

Today was pretty interesting and since I don't feel like writing a decent post, I shall make a list of today's occurrences. - Played chess against an international master - Discovered a lot of new beers - Someone's hitting on me - Bought a new flute - Had (and still have) a load of work to do today to pass this year in school - Found out planning trips with air planes is a pain - ...

How did you manage that?

The road we were racing on sucked basically, the broken spokes were a result of the extra strain on the wheels from riding at high speed on such rough roads, the buckled front wheel we're less sure about but since I don't have a grand spare to buy new wheels I'll get them repaired and hope it doesn't happen again.

The more I read this' date=' the less sense it makes. [/quote'] It's Mindy, when does she make sense, btw Minds you call that a drunk post? The next time I'm on the jolly juice I'll swing by 'ere and show ye what a real drunken post is.

[mindy6158]

The bit that does not make sense is how much sense Mindy's post makes. It's not weird or poetic or rambling or anything like that. Mindy, that makes your credibility weak. I'd say that you did not drink too much. You failed to put punctuation on the final sentence, I'll give you that. But a drunken post? We've seen a few of them here... That ain't one. What level of inebriation is worth a migraine anyway?

Ok, maybe I should had clarified that I drank too much FOR MINDY. hahaha. I am also a strange drunk, I focus on things much better while drunk, write better papers, bowl better, do most things better while drunk that involves focusing. Perhaps I should drink a bit before an exam:D

I've been roofing again this weekend, but this time it was mine. Surprisingly, this is one of the only home improvement projects I've taken on that didn't have a hundred and one things go wrong with it. We got everything stripped, shingled half of the main house, and finished drying in the rest of the house in two days. I am seriously exhausted though.

Went bowling with my younger brother, my kid brother, and mum today. Good family fun and no one cared about the results. Then played with the dog for a while (eight years old and still thinks he's a puppy) before cooking pork vindaloo for dinner.

Just got granted housing and passed my language proficiency exam - all I need now is to be taken on as a research assistant with the Berkley Center and all of my immediate worries will be assuaged.

Is that an internship you are trying to get? I took a quick glance at their website. It looks like an interesting place.

I kinda misspoke and used the informal name. Formally it's the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs at Georgetown University. I think I'd enjoy the work since I used to be pretty enthusiastic about these issues in high school and have found over the course of my religion class that they're still important to me. The higher level of inquiry at which I'm studying them has also helped make them more interesting.

So here's the rundown of my recent injuries: minor glute strain (from Sunday no doubt), sprained wrist, and a minor concussion from a nasty fall yesterday. Basically hating life right now.

[FatherAlabaster]

I'm sorry to hear that, dude. Watch out for those head injuries. My knee injury is still a major bummer, I can't walk for very long and it's all swollen. Been over a week. Just trying to rest and let it heal.

Depression/ bored

[jfk36]

For the boredom go to YouTube, preventing boredom is pretty much all it's for, why else would there be so many funny cat videos? As for the depression, do you mean you feel dreadful or do you mean the medical condition? On a completely unrelated note, I just bought a Siamese fighting fish, I've called him Beelzebubbles.

Depression/ bored

There's a difference, y'know. At the request of a friend of mine who taught himself a bit of guitar in the past I've been speaking to him about music theory quite often and I'm pleased to see he's really leaping forward. A few weeks ago he only knew some chords and now he's writing full (though simple) songs with both chords and arpeggios. It feels good to know I can help someone progress and that I'm actually worth a damn from a musical perspective. Who knows where some more teaching sessions will lead him...

We've got something mysteriously tripping the power at present. There's no reason why the power should be tripping so we're at a loss. Stranger still we've had someone from the electic company come out and tell us there's nothing wrong with the circuit box so no idea what's causing it.

I'm almost done transcribing the first half of A Blaze in the Northern Sky (the song, not the album). The plan is to make a cello adaptation for it.

My car finally passed its MOT and is now road legal! I think this calls for a celebratory beer and doughnut.

I just finished attending a speech by Tony Blair at the university. Allegedly the speech was about governance and economics in sub-Saharan Africa, not that you could tell. I'm glad I didn't have to pay. The subject seemed narrow enough that there'd be at least some meat to the speech, but no - ketchup and mustard all the way down. If they'd given him more than an hour (twice as much probably would have been good) and had him focus on governance in former British colonial Africa maybe, maybe it would have had enough specificity to warrant an insight but the guy came off as being amazed that people take him seriously. Maybe he's hampered by government etiquette of some kind. Pity.

Cool, new Abyssal coming out June 23! Looking forward to that. Iceni will be happy to know that its title is shorter than the last one and appears to be Greek rather than Latin. Not sure why, but I'm surprised Tony Blair is speaking anywhere, I had vaguely assumed he was put out to pasture years ago.
