The last week or so

I had a fabulous evening jumping up and down to rock music last tues, throughly good way to celibrate ones birthday. Most of the rest of the week was fairly quiet, shopping on saturday where shockingly for me I actually brought some cloths (I have been looking for cloths I like for about two months and generally not finding anything). Sunday was a lovely day here an Em and I walked out to godalming and onto a country pub for sunday lunch with J. Found a wonderful country pub, beer was excellent, expensive roast but very good, cm thick slices of meat lots of vedge. By the time we'd walked over we had definitely worked up an appertite, best sunday I have had in ages and one I hope will be repeated soon.Work continues to drive me mad, I just want to make some progress and interact with a few more people (office to me self/ research group onf one not really helping progress). Oh Cornaidd I was taking to someone about doing a holiday walking the inca trail, since you're a regular in that part of the world I was wondering if you knew anywhere to look for good holiday deals?Anyway back to the grind stone.

Comedy Store

Went to the comedy store last night and witnessed some brilliant improvisation, from the comedy store players (mostly people who have done who's line is it anyway). Very good night out, recomended particluarly since is cheap for such top flight comdians (£13!!). Not particluar other news, am hoping tuesdays trip to the rock night will be good.

Rain

You know they say the eskimos have 50 words for snow, it occured to me yesterday english should have more words for rain after all we get enough of it and there are very different types. As far as I know we pretty much have "rain" and "drizzel". But we actually get all sorts of conditions, in the west country we get horizontal rain, you sometimes get that rain that seems to avoid all obsticals just to drip down your neck, I always rather liked the hollywood type rain lots of really fat rain drops falls briefly then the sun comes out.If anyone can think of new words (or old ones I am unfamiliar with) for the types of rain we get let me know, might try and work them into everyday usage:)

magpies

Just saw 8 magpies together, I wonder if this has any meaning according to the rhyme, I think it only goes as far as 7 (sorrow,joy,girl,boy,silver,gold,secret).Maybe it's luck

Work is driving me nuts

I have a simulation that takes sufficiently long to run that I seem to spend most of my time waiting for it to finish working, and when it does I am not at all sure it's giving me the correct results. I really need to be busier the frustration of waiting for this thing to run is seriously driving me over the edge. It doesn't help that I can go all day without speaking to anyone, I share an office with one person who is very nice really but about the quietist person I have ever met if she is in we may exchange all of 5 words if she isn't at least I can have the radio on for company. I really feel like screaming and/or breaking something at the moment. I think the last straw may have been trying to back track the derivation of configurational temperature (while waiting for a run to finish of course) only to find they're using a peice of mathematical notation I have never seen before without explainantion (a : ) since my maths is pretty good this must be from some field of mathematics I have never studied - really helpful.Oh for some progress - just a little - anything.

Nothing In particular

It's about time I posted something I guess.Nothing particularly news-worthy been happening for a while. Have managed to increase my sociallising somewhat and have found a few places in guildford doing live music, which is nice, one bar has a most impressive guitarist/singer playing tuesday nights plus one of the uni bars has started doing an open mic night on mondays with a pretty high standard of partisipants (I am sure I have spelt that wrong oh well). Was also treated to dinner by a couple of friends on thursday, tried venison for the first time, I am not a big fan of red meat but this was lovely, surved with asparagus with I can only presume I have had overcooked previously as I haven't liked it before. Have found that there is a two-weekly comedy night on here, so am hoping to go to that next sunday or two weeks after that. Saturday am hopefully bound for an exhibition on optical illusions in london. A mate is down for a few days at the end of the week so should have a few good evenings drinking:).Has anyone else noticed halloween seems to have been swallowed by christmas this year, it doesn't seem to have made much of an impact this year, I always like halloween but if you weren't looking hard arround here you'd never know it was coming up.

tired of being tired

Been a while since my last update, nothing much momentous has happened. I had a great weekend a few weeks where I got to catch up with lots of friends (everything always happens all at the same time). I then hurt my hand in aikido, something went crack very loudly so have not been able to do that for a week or two.At the moment I am suffering from the heat, I know one shouldn't complain given how infrequently we get nice weather but my operating temperature is quite low. The closer we get to 30 degrees the less able to function I am, at the moment the main problem is that I don't seem to be getting much sleep and as a result am staggering through my days half asleep. I am really hoping it will start getting colder at night, I love blue sky's and sunshine but really need some sleep.

aggrieved

Things are generally going quite well have gotten to the stage of going for a few drinks after work with people from my department, building a social life and guildford is feeling a little more like home.I went to the cinema last night to see eternal sunshine of the spotless mind which is very good btw thought provoking and well put together. Anyway I am walking home about 10:30 not doing anything particularly offensive that I can think of when some *****(insert expletive of your choise) hits me with a rotten egg, I am prepared to admit hitting me from a moving car consitutes good aim but it was really fucking unnecessary. If I'd gotten the license number of the car I would have been inclined to report them to the police.It's amazing how many moronic people there are out there who end up so bored that they think this kind of thing is funny, the same sort of arse who goes out and gets drunk on a friday/saturday with the express intention of starting a fight. I don't know whether I feel sorry for such people or just really wish they never ever crossed my path.sorry about the rant but it is really annoying when this sort of thing happens without even any provocation.
