This week was pretty lame, with my time divided between handing out tutor assessments at uni (OMG I hope I never have to read any of them - I’m sure they all hate me on account of how incompetent I am and how I put my feet up on the seats when they’re not allowed to) and working on a new paper about the atom bomb (I know I’m no politics specialist but it’s going to be great - I’m using stuff from the justly famous Simulacra and Simulation which I might add has nothing to do with The Matrix despite appearing on Keanu’s bookshelf in the movie.) Got my passport finally.

It’s also worth adding that because I’m generally a slack bastard and also because I’ve been swimming a bit lately, my former RSI problems are nearly gone. I’ve gotten used to typing until I’m tired, but I lasted late into the night last night - which is really too much I can now wisely tell you, so on the whole I’m taking it easy with optimistic glee (not enough glee in the world nowadays…) I can also play the guitar without going all clawlike. I can also play the guitar very darn funkily if you’d care to know. I have a new song about buttons.

And since all the birthday junk has arrived, I’ve prepared a list of the best bits - in Haiku!!

A raincoat:

written on the tag:
‘keeps you warm in New Zealand’
I sure hope it does

A top with splatty paint on:

jumper from Aunty
pockets full of chocolate
wash it in the sink

A beer:

glass of darkish ale
the same as every other
went down just as fast

A fifty:

a swim at the pool
Turkish pizza for dinner
remainder for bills

woohoo. wanna say something? - say it with haiku.
