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.

Movie Reviews
I have not updated for a while so I thought I should really post something but as I have not really done much except attend polymer science meetings and spend a week in cornwall at my parents. About the only interesting thing from my cornwall trip was going to one of the gardens (with mum and gran), I can't remember the name their all tre-something anyway, the gardens where impressive but what was great in my view was that they had peacocks, which where tame enough to be cadging food off people I really wished I'd had my camera they are very impressive up close. I also hadn,t realised that they like to perch in trees, it must be a remarkable effort to drag that tail up into a tree.Anyway to pad this out I thought I'd include my opinion on a few films I have seen resently:-Welcome to the Jungle - mindless action film but fun, similar to 80's arnie films but trying to be more comic, dialogue and characters motivations are a bit rubbish but action enjoyable + christipher walken scary as every.Master and Commander - pants, I couldn't much empathise with any of the characters, you got no real sense of the wider reasons for their actions so sort of like a documentary on naval history without any political context - not my cup of tea.Kill Bill Part 1 - enjoyable, feels at times like the names were invented by a thirteen year old (deadly viper assasination squad) and the scenes don't feel as connected (sort of a comic strip effect) as they might but most of the scenes are fadulously shot/set. So of the scenes of the brides recovery where a bit unnecessarily unpleasent I felt and could have been cut.Antway off to see shaun of the dead tonight I have high hopes since I loved spaced.

Mobile Phones
My current phone is getting on my wick, its a fairly new and shinny samung but and this is imporant its let down in two key areas which seem to be common to most samsung phones the T9 predictive text engine is horrible to use and since I send a fair number of texts this is important to me and the damn thing only rings at an audiable level two seconds before putting people through to the answer phone (maybe this is a feature of polyphonic ring tones but its v.annoying to constantly be too late to take calls).I was wondering if any one has used a sony ericsson phone, are they any good?I would like to go back to nokia but can't find a phone of theirs that suits me at the moment, are their any other brands/phones anyone would recomend?Also I am thinking of switching to O2 as their Pay&Go package looks superior to orange, but I have no idea what O2 is like as a company any info anyone has would be a help.cheers

guildford
I have been here for a few months now and was trying to think how I feel about the place in particular compared with where else I have been. Cardiff was a very vibrent city there was always something going on, somewhere new opening etc a great place to be an undergrad. Bath was quirkier on the one hand very conservative but on the other filled with interesting and slightly odd places, a very comfortable city and one I would definietly like to live in again. So far my impression of Guildford is that everything feels a little temperary, like everyone knows they are not staying that long and so don't really put their mark on anything. Maybe it's just that I have not found the right places in town yet, the university social facilities are all excelent which is so far a saving grace.
