The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name

I love this song, especially the irony that no-one (that I've talked to about it at least), knows what the girls name actually is. I'd post the video, except youtube isn't working for me, and myspace videos won't post for some reason either. I just want to scream at technology sometimes.

If I was a Crayola right now, I think my name would be something along the lines of 'Radioactive Red.' I also managed to contract a small amount of sunstroke (at least, we think thats what it was) and so lost an entire day alternating raving madly in my bed and passing out on the bathroom floor. I'm considering moving out to Alaska, seeing as sunshine does obviously not agree with me!

Four days since I last posted? A disgrace. This is mainly because I had the exam from utter hell on Tuesday, and I've been trying to make up for it in revision terms ever since. It was one of those times where I took one look at the question paper and my brain was screaming SHIT NO SHIT - CAN'T DO - FIND NEAREST ESCAPE ROUTE, then I took a second look and realised I could in fact do some of the questions passably, but by that point all the knowledge I'd memorised had been scared away. I have the feeling I may aswell write off that particular course completely, and focus upon Europe, which I seem to find (unlike most of my friends) fairly easy to remember. It's just dates and facts which are ultimately uncomplicated, and I can put my own spin on at the end, rather than the ramblings of historical genii who I can't possibly hope to understand! 

Oh, it's also Couples Weekend in the flat, so expect much moaning over my single status! I dont mean to be bitter about it, and really, thinking about it objectively, I'm happy as I am. It's just when I only encounter people in pairs, it becomes a little noticeable and wearing.

Anyway, that was BORING. After this week is over, my posts are going to be ultimately more readable and less depressing. At least 20% less depressing guaranteed, or your money back.

Mmm ice cream. May have unwisely eaten a Thorntons double scoop at lunchtime, then gone for Apricot and White Chocolate in Bella Italia this evening. I love Bella Italia, mainly because you get those little lemon sweets with the bill, which makes you feel better about shelling out a chunk of your hard-earned student loan for a pizza when you could have quite as easily eaten a tin of baked beans from the cupboard and spent it on booze instead. Or in our case...a new freeview box, because ours is knackered and we're stuck in the frigging DARK AGES of four channels, showing 24-hour Bargain Hunt and Trisha. Kill me now.

I'm looking for a dress for Gradball and can't find one anywhere (though theres some very pretty 50s polkadot on www.dollydagger.co.uk) Anyone got any recommendations where I could look? Just on the off chance! Thanks, trusty flist.

Sorry about the boring update. Essays are gradually sucking the soul from my body through my left nostril. Lots of thrills and spills (with some luck lol) next week.

STOP PRESS. I've just found the ultimate ballgown - 



Excuse me while I puke into a doily.

So much for April showers, summer has erupted across Lancaster today. I'm wearing flip flops. Yes, actual sandals, and whats more, my feet still feel warm and sun-kissed! There's something a bit wrong about this actually. A few weeks ago we had snow (at the end of MARCH? wtf) and now blazing sunshine. The seasons appear to be intermingling at will. The sad thing is, I remember the days when summer was one long slideshow of blue skies, and winter was always frosty and crunchy underfoot. As I remember, it even used to rain for days at a time. That never happens now, it rains rarely (whatever people say) and even then is barely more than on-off drizzle; summers are mild but never boiling; and winter no longer really exists. Everythings merging into one. I can SEE this happening, how can any government deny that global warming is a threat?

Progress on the dissertation 'o doom = Zero. Biscuits eaten = 56. Continue like this much longer and I shall actually transform into a biscuit. Fingers crossed for the jammy dodger.

By the way, anyone hear that they are banning Battenburg and Mushy Peas due to their over-abundance of those satanic e-numbers? This rankles me. I've never heard of anyone keeling over from Battenburg-poisoning before, so it must be in quantities safe enough to consume. Yet things that are almost pure lard, eg. Deep Fried Mars bars, are let off the hook? Let's ban everything! Let's ban going outside, it may result in exposure to UV rays and cause INSTANT DEATH. 

Argh, country.

Its my interests collage! Only I don't have a clue how to get it under a cut and then have it full size. Technological spastic. Still, I quite like it!

I just discovered this last night and it has not proved constructive in quashing my Julian Barratt obsession. Must he be so gorgeous?!

Popsicle - The Starlight Mints
This has to be one of the greatest video's of all time. And the implications are filthy, filthy, filthy. ;)

I love this video. "THATS FOR MY FRIEND WENDY, SHE'S GOT CYSTITIS!" 

The programme itself, well I might describe it as patchy, as all sketch shows are. Some situations are undeniably wonderful (biscuit levitation anyone?) but some seem a little tired, or not thought through well enough. Those snooker commentators were awful. But Sir Digby Chicken Caesar has potential for his own show, crime-caper music and all!

What am I doing? I can't possibly criticise the two men that brought me Peep Show! *scolds self*

I considered it, and thought I may aswell use this journal for good in addition to evil.

So here's a little ditty of my own composing. 

An Ode To Subway. (Should be sung to the tune of I Will Survive by glorious Gloria Gaynor)

At first I had no food, I was petrified,
kept thinking I could never live without some grub inside.
But then I spent my Sunday night
buying a tasty one footlong
and I grew strong,
and I learned I could get along!

Then I was back
With no remorse!
Just a slice or two of onion, melted cheese and extra sauce!
I could have searched through all the cupboards,
opened up a baked bean tin
If I thought for just one second
Stuff the rain I'll just stay in!

Woah...now go!
Walk out the door!
Turn around now!
'Cos Subways calling you once more!

Weren't you the one who tried to nick my curly fries?
Did you think I'd grumble,
When sandwich heavens just outside?

Oh no not I!
I will survive!
As long as Ive got my marinara melt,
and the meatballs stay inside!

I've got all my tum to fill
and Ive got lots of time to kill,
So I'll survive
I will survive

Sub-wayyyyy!


Worryingly, theres more where this came from. I also made a tribute to Heat magazine. And then I wonder why I'm going to fail my degree?!
