Things I did since the last time I posted:

1.   I finished the first chapter of my dissertation. Did I mention that dissertation is a bitch? A delicious, horrible, time stealing, ever-so-addictive bitch! One down, two to go.

2.   I practised The Boxer on my guitar. I am not having much luck with that actually.

3.   I wrote the second chapter of my detective novel for the creative module. Did I mention I love detectives? I bet you didn't know that, did you...eh? /sarcasm

4.   I watched Margaret which was mainly about people I hate played by people I love. John Sessions, who I am actually depressingly in love with, was brilliant. There was Nicholas Le Prevost! OMG Nicholas Le Prevost is great! Michael Cochrane as Alan Clarke made me LOL and Michael Maloney made a seriously creepy John Major! I always thought Major was just a grey boring man. Robert Hardy, as always, is made of awesome.

5.   I cried a little a lot when Wales lost in the Six Nations against France. I did a lot of shouting. I shout in a Welsh accent apparently. Weird.


Now I am going to bed...or going to surf the internet a little more, one of the two.

I had a great time playing "Match the Tory to the Spitting Image puppet!" How creepy was Major? He was like a sneering school boy! You ain't the only one desperately in love. And he's on QI next week - two TV appearances in two weeks, we're being spoiled! :P

Yes, but being in love with John is about as productive as bashing your head against a brick wall. *sigh* Still though, I mostly have fun with it.

Ha, yeah I couldn't help thinking of Spitting Image either. We kept doing the "and what about the vegetables?" "Oh, they'll have the same" sketch.

It's awesome that your dissertation is delicious and addictive, even if it's also horrible and time-stealing! That sounds like fun :) I didn't write anything in grad school that I was really excited about, but I didn't write a thesis.

Yeah, the horrible thing is that I'm addicted to making notes and coming up with new ideas for it. Yet when it comes to actually typing up the chapters I'm the world's biggest procrastinator. I really annoy myself.
