LA Story is on TV: a lovely, lovely film. I first saw it just over a year ago, if memory serves…
But I need to sleep now. Tomorrow we have to present our King Lear designs, and there’s a whole lot more essay to get done.

I’m 418 words in, and now slightly refreshed thanks to the wonderful Little Britain. Channel 5 is once again conspiring against me with more bad movies. I’ll be spared them when I head home for Christmas, although that’ll also mean missing out on CSI, Law & Order and any Boomtown they decide to show.

I’m going to get some water from the kitchen. I’m going to put on some very loud music – and I’m thinking ‘Matrix Reloaded’ or Gatecrasher or something that’s very busy – and then I’m going to sit right down and write myself an essay. Five hundred words at least. And my eyes can just stop screaming right now because it’s not clever.

2. Cheeseburgers which claim to be comprehensively salad-free zones, when in fact this is inaccurate.
3. The four cans of London Pride which mock me by being undrinkable in the current work/getting up climate.
4. Microsoft. Bleeding. Word. And XP.
5. Administrator-passworded Macs: they’re like tethered thoroughbreads.
6. Leeds at rush-hour being incredibly quiet on the day that I go there to record the sound of a noisy rush-hour.
7. Photocopiers that refuse to let you copy an A4 page (cost: five credits) when you have six credits on your photocopying card because you are “low on credits”, even though you had to wait a good ten minutes whilst the people in front of you surely violated copyright law on several books.
Taking a questionnaire today on how stressed I am was the least stressful thing I’ve done. But it’s all good.
The interweb seems to be dripping with obituaries of mp3.com.
