Doing everything but things rhyming with dissertation
Well I can't think of anything that ryhmes with dissertation, so its just my dissertation i'm avoiding...
I would say that I am at the point where I can pretty much say that I could sit in the hot-heat of mastermind with my specialized, (z = Americanism), subject being Maine.
Did you know...?
Maine is the largest producer of Blueberries... 25% of Americas' Blueberries come from Maine.
How about this then... It is also the number one producer of toothpicks...
History lesson over. Although also Stephen King was born in Maine and the film The Mist (which is based on one of his novels) was filmed there.
But seriously... I need to be doing my dissertation, its due in 4 days...
So i'm going to set to and do it now... actually i'll do it once i've cleaned all of the, err... cupboards. Also i've left the paint drying with no one watching it, so I should probably go watch paint dry.
s'nuff said.

Liverpoop and Thai
"Walk on walk on
With hope in your heart
and you will never walk alone
The last 20 minutes were ours"
This was a text message I received from a friend after the dreaded United defeat of 4-1.
And I agree! Liverpool did deserved to win... The first 70 minutes, even being 2-1 down, showed a very good game of football. Until Vidic got sent off United were all over Liverpool. But they deserved it in the end.
Anway...
“My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people”.
Orson Welles
A couple of fellow course mates and I recently went to The Art Kitchen in Warwick. It is a Thai restaurant. I can safely say it was the nicest thai meal I have ever had.
Albeit the orange juice accident and their 'broken' calculator. It was very nice I would love to go back again.
However this whole experience has made me think about the food to expect at Camp in the summer. I have had a friend who went to Camp America last summer and he is now a vegetarian because of his experience... "All the meat they eat, is deep fried."
I just hope that they serve alot of seafood and fish
Rant...over.

Criminal Law and stealing penguins...
I had a criminal law exam earlier today... it went suprisingly well thanks.
Once I had finished, and getting bored of checking and checking the checking...(you get the picture) I was bored. I began to think of model answers that I had revised for said exam. And one in particular sprang to mind this was a question concerning theft. It made me laugh inside, at least I thought it was on the inside...
The question starts as follows: "Boris breaks into..."
Boris... haha, but thats no where near the punch line.
"Boris breaks into the local zoo and takes a penguin. Discuss"
I'm sorry but if that doesn't make you want to study law I don't know what would. Personally because of this question I now dream of going to Zoo Court and representing a Penguin in a case involving kidnap.
Oh and i've been given an Embassy appointment; 21st April =D
Also... for those that were wondering the Judge in Zoo Court was indeed a Bald Eagle

Green Green Green Yellow Green Red Yellow....
"Nah not much, been doing a lot of studying"
Sorry just practising what i've got to tell my mum when she asks.
Right, tonight myself and my fellow housemate have spent a good chunk of the evening rocking out with our ***** out on Guitar Hero World Tour! We've been mostly playing a little song by the Foo Fighters, Everlong on hard. Myself on the guitar and John on bass. We were incredibly close to achieving 100%... I got my highest ever streak, 813 for all those who are shouting "please tell us Chris!" Our high score of tonight was about 545,000 =D
There comes a time in ones life where you feel compelled to ask yourself, why? I believe today, this standard, albeit sun-filled day early in March I have stumbled across the answer worthy of a million starfish, a high five from Ghandi himself or sharing a classic 80's air punch with, that guy from The Breakfast Club, you know, the cool one that you could imagine doing an 80's punch with. Anyway... So why? Well I have discovered the bane of many e-band members lives... probably. Getting through 90% of Everlong on HARD and then dropping a note; I couldn't imagine anything worse, except maybe giving yourself a hernia and repetitive strain injury in both hands... John, I need you to drive me to the hospital.
On a more serious note my eyes feel like they have been raped by the playstation, everythig I look at is in the shape of a 'gem' and is either tinted green, red, yellow, blue or orange....
My eyes hurt.

Pink Elephants in the Hospital
Hey,
Title got your attention right?
So Starbucks anyone? It seemed like the obvious choice once returning from a spontaneous trip to Birmingham to sample what sushi delights possible in an inner city... miles from any sea...
There were four of us who decided to ditch the library for a short train journey to Brum; I would say that it would have been a success if the majority enjoyed the sushi goodness, however it was only myself and one other that actually enjoyed the sushi (maybe its the high life in our blood? or that fact it is a step up from jellied eels...) The other two did not enjoy it as much. Although the braver, or more tolerent of the two indulged twice, the other had a mere lick and then attempted to throw up his entire hotdog stomach goodness...
So after sushi delights we decided to head for a little known 'vintage clothes shop' which is not quite as cool as it sounds. However it was better than any second hand/charity shop i've been into. There is nothing better than walking around trying on 'vintage' clothes; including MC Hammer's shell suits and Wham's whole wardrobe... with cowboy boots!
I can hear you screaming "get to the point!"
So what did I achieve yesterday?

The day I met Michael Jordan...
I just met MJ at the train station!!! Wicked-Sick!!!!
Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963) is a retired American professional basketball player and active businessman. His biography on the National Basketball Association (NBA) website states, "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time."Jordan was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was instrumental in popularising the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s.
After a stand-out career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Jordan joined the NBA's Chicago Bulls in 1984. He quickly emerged as one of the stars of the league, entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line at Slam Dunk Contests, earned him the nicknames "Air Jordan" and "His Airness." He also gained a reputation as one of the best defensive players in basketball. In 1991, he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993, securing a "three-peat." Though Jordan abruptly retired from basketball at the beginning of the 1993-94 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball, he rejoined the Bulls in 1995 and led them to three additional championships (1996, 1997, and 1998) as well as an NBA-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995–96 season. Jordan retired for a second time in 1999, but he returned for two more NBA seasons in 2001 as a member of the Washington Wizards.
