My presentation is over, so now I’ve actually got time to do stuff.
First thing is to clean up the flat, which I’ve been neglecting for the past week to get everything done. Need to write a dissertation, and play Fable 2.
Well, I don’t need to play Fable 2, but y’know.
I have to say I’m surprised [...]

It’s over!
The Epic Glove Saga
I’ve soaked and conditioned my gloves *hattip to Jan* and while they are better than they were, they still aren’t their shiny old selves and the fingers are still wrinkly as hell. Did I get the wrong type of conditioner? It smelt more like shoe polish than sheep (Then again, I’ve never been to a [...]
Hypotheses
Yes, I’m going on about feminism again. Sorry It’s in a more ponderous way though.
At some point I want to do a couple of surveys but I’ve no idea how to do them.
The first requires getting all participents to watch a short animation by Joanna Quinn, which makes it rather difficult to get a [...]
“Visual Pleasure”
Aside: Sorry guys, didn’t realise I had messages to approve until this morning, so your replies should be there now.
Back to the topic:
Feminist Laura Mulvey describes something in film called “The Gaze” (Which a friend of mine rather amusingly wrote, “The Gays” :P) by which a woman ‘prize’ character is put there to be looked [...]
Micro sleep.
It’s 5am. “Nah, I don’t have uni tomorrow, I’ll just double check though, just in cas- oh dear.”
Cue attempting to get 2 hours sleep.
Start falling asleep.
Get one of those as-falling-asleep dreams of a zombie biting my face off.
I mean, I’ve been playing watching Paul play The Darkness a lot lately but it’s not really scarey [...]
Give an inch…
Something just reminded me, and I got to thinking (This is a hate the human/student race blog, sorry :P)
Two months before my course started, I was informed I couldn’t get campus accomodation because I lived too close to the uni. (Or, there were lots of people that lived insanely far, and they get priority. Fair [...]
Eyebleach and stuff.
Once upon a time, I told Paul “don’t look up Goatse on Google Image search.”
And he did.
And I laughed.
And he was in dire need of eyebleach.
And then I said “Don’t look up tubgirl either”
And then he did.
And then we both needed eyebleach because I’d only heard verbal descriptions and didn’t realise it was that bad.
But [...]
Endings
Happy endings are cliche, but give you the feeling of satisfaction.
Sad endings seal the story (everyone dies, the end, no sequels for you! ) and give it a sense of finalization.
A mixed ending perhaps?
In this novelly/comic-y thing I’m playing with, I’ve got a couple of characters that will, irreversibly, be changed in such a way [...]
Minddump: Motivation
I’m going back to uni in about a month, and my motivation is just spiralling downwards. I’m sick of education - last year was such a bad one, and I’m not sure whether that’s my fault or the uni’s for being so unorganized.
I think I need encouragement, which you don’t actually get a lot of [...]
Mmm, spiced rum
I’m officially a lightweight, since it went straight to my head.
Trying to do lineart while drunk tipsy is fail though.
It’s the day after payday so work was packed and we only had three people. Being short staffed isn’t fun and we constantly are since our store is/was losing money and they’ve cut hours back. Fortuneately [...]
