God, remember when I used to have a life? Yeah, not so much anymore. I'm working two days a week as well as (supposedly) studying- it's the third week of term and I haven't done a goddamn thing so far, and have due
-Maths assignment this Friday
-French assignment this Monday and another one a week after that
-Phil essay in, like, a month. But it's a massive essay and the required reading for this class is measured in tonnes, I exaggerate only a very little. Also I'm terrified of writing a philosophy essay because I've never done that before, so look forward to posts babbling out extremely incoherent thoughts about, you know, Skepticism and Objectivism and that kind of stuff.
-THANK YOU, LOGIC A, for having TWO TESTS be our only assessment. Yes, I'll be shitting myself the weekend before each of them, but oh my god no weekly work and no required reading and no testbook- okay, there's a textbook, but the lecturer told us that he wouldn't be assuming we'd read it. Oh, Prof Copeland, thank you for not having any faith in us to do our work...

(In other notes about said prof, he completely has hobbit hair as previously only witnessed on such notables as Blythe Press. There's a photo on his profile: that is completely what Blythe is going to look like when he's forty, yes/no?)


Things I have and have not accomplished this week:
-baked two cakes, one for Rex and Sam's birthday, and one for Ben's farewell party.
-Got lots of compliments on said cakes, I am a goddess, etc.
-Farewelled a dear friend returning to Scotland. :(
-Skipped THREE french classes, approximately one and a half more than I can really afford to...
-Sat at a table on two Clubs Days and succeeded in getting nearly FORTY new members for Bel Suono choir! Rock! By the way for those on my flist who signed up, bowling tomorrow at 7.30, if you have a car bring it, check your email, et cetera.
-Have not had more than six hours sleep a night, generally somewhat less- it's not that this is unusual for me, just that to be happy I need at least seven.
-worked! I'm doing about 13 hours a week at a Caltex down here; a four-hour shift thursday afternoon, and all day Saturday. It shoujld be manageable- I hope. Pay is biweekly, which sucks; some of my coworkers seem okay. They're mostly all guys and they're all a little... odd, as employees of said evil chain tend to be (members of flist excluded- or, well, no. ;))
-Saw Aeon Flux- not worth the money, although as [livejournal.com profile] sixth_light and I agreed, the premise was okay and it could have been good, but then they got distracted by Charlize Theron's... everything and forgot all their science. *facepalm*
-Saw Brokeback Mountain, for free- but I will try to see it again in theatres because I liked it a lot, and we saw a pirated version so I feel guilty. More thoughts on that... aw, who am I kidding? Never. But it's completely worth the ticket and I will add I saw it with several heterosexual guys who liked it a lot as well. SO THERE.
-helped cook a roast; cooked a superlatively good marinaded chicken
-watched Bones and Commander In Chief, which are the Flat Bonding shows. much love.
-Got bittorrent, d/ld most of Birds of Prey, read through several issues- like up to 55 or something. Cooool.
-also read some later ones thanks to the kindness of strangers on the internet; a fandom where they're nice to the newbies, can it be real?


I have a feeling there was some other stuff in ther as well, even less interesting, but I'm repressing the memories. I MISS MY FLIST, I am trying to read it semi-regularly and semi-succeeding, so my commenting rate should go up. Posting rate is not likely to but, considering this post, are you sorry?

Thought not.

I forgot!

Bic Runga's new website would be pretty cool if it idn't need Flash 8 or something- it actually has about eight or so songs on there to listen to that are good-quality. If you're a fan you should check them out.

Also, according to her discography, these are the only tracks by her that I don't have and have never heard:
Somewhere in the Night, Winning Arrow LP. (I might buy this one, since I probably could find it. Or I could hang on till the limited edition version of Birds comes out, because it might be on there... man I hope it comes out soon! The BC limited edition came out the next year...)
Something Good (Submariner mix) from the Something Good LP- okay, I've obviously heard the song, but I'd like to hear this version...
All Fall Down, Suddenly Strange LP- the chances of my finding this are slim, I think.
Interstellar Over Drive Mix, from the Roll Into One LP- Roll Into One is a funny song for a single.... I've never heard this but I'd love it. Sounds like it's another remix of Drive but hey, I can't get enough...
I Don't Mean It- Sway LP. I dunno what this one would be about. :P

Okay, how can I say this? I would really, really love copies of these. If any of you have them and could yousendit.com them to me, I could swap it with you for pretty much anything else in her collection. I love Bic's work and I buy her albums, but these are all minor tracks off singles and I can't get them any other way... oh, flist, if you have any idea where I might go...
