Blogging

Blogging is soo last year! I mean seriously, the internet? Lame. But fear not, for hope is not lost. I bring to you the latest in social communications technology and the new phenomenon of 'Fridging'.
It's soooo simple and easy to use! All you need is a pen and a piece of paper, which you can then upload to fridge with your 'fridgit' (message on fridge), what's better is that all your friends can reply to your fridgit in their own witty way! (this may take several hours, days or never happen depending on where these so called 'friends''of yours live and whether you feel the need to invite them to fridge)

Our latest estimates suggest Fridging is already more popular than networking sites Myspace and Bebo, especially with the demopgraph of the population not yet connected to the internet! Projections predict that it will only be a matter of days before Fridging takes over from the social network giants- Twitter and Facebook and that it may indeed replace the blogosphere. The Fridgosphere as it has been termed is an innovative place connecting the blogosphere to the biosphere, which could lead to some exciting possibilities.

Our analysts suggest you listen to this: Beirut- Cherbourg and have a nice day!

It's the Music that drives me...

People are finally cottoning onto the fact that Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal is the hit song of the summer(see first blog entry). Unfortunatly i've listened to it so much, I'm getting a little bored of it- and it's not even released yet!! Fortunatly I've decided to treat myself to music this week and have purchased a grand total of 4 new albums!

I was in town doing my weekly shop and on the way to morrisons I decided to have a quick sneaky look at how Zavvi ( though it's called Head now for some bizarre reason) was handling the recession. Almost everything was reduced. Not great for them, but huge fun for me! I managed to spend at least half an hour scouring the shelves for obscurities and bargains amongst the music shelves. I decided to finally purchase the Neon Bible- Arcase Fire, which has been on my list of albums to get for a long time(years?!) and I also picked up Missiles- The Dears, who I managed to catch word of through myspace. As I prepared to leave I noticed a bargain bin(shelf) displaying a prominent sign of "cd's from 99p". As a bargain lover, I had to look and I decided to pick out something new. I found the colourful looking sleeve of Pain Dissapears- Mlle Caro and Franck Garcia for only £1.99. It's a beautiful album, no songs stand out as anthemic, but as an album it is perfectly fluid and a real pleasure to listen to. Also I got it for a margin of what amazon was trying to sell it off for! Win!

The final album I got was from this month's mojo magazine- a free folk giveaway cd. It's celebrating one of the most prominent record labels of all time- Island Records, signing artists such as Bob Marley. I rather liked it, though my housemates didn't seem all that impressed! So I retired to my room to revise(procrastinate), immerse myself in music and lyrics(procrastinate) and write this blog(procrastinate).

I therefore leave you between the click of the light and the start of the dream. No Cars Go - Arcade Fire.

Losing the plot

Where are my axis? I'm too far from the origin, my graphs are scattered and I'm lost in the Euclidean space. Everything was Dandy whilst Newton controlled my mechanics, but now hes being taken over by the complexities of Lagrange and Hamilton! Seriously, I feel a little bit out of my depth. Almost gone mad in the last week!

Everything's stressy. Module choices. Exams. Finishing off this years modules. Sorting out groupwork. Social situations. Messes cause stresses and I'm in a mess. A bit of clarity would be useful right around now. Why am I here? What should I study? Will I be alright at it and find it interesting? Will it help me in the future? Will it detriment my future? Do i have a future outside of university? What do I want to do? What do I not want to do? Can I trust myself with these decisions?

I had a lecture on depression yesterday in Evolutionary Psychology, fun times yeah? What did it teach me? That i am now a self diagosed depression (depressive and manic(bipolar)) sufferer as I could associate myself with almost all of the items noted as being prevalent in these type of people. 1/4 of people get depression at some point in their lives at least once, but really is this the most appropriate time?!! So im doing my best to stay on the manic side. Dont give up on me!

In other, rather more positive news their was an awards social last night for lsrm and it was rather fantastic. I won two awards and ate them happily :D Also the food was absolutely fantastic. I do very much recommend la Besi to anyone who reads this!!

And yeah to keep myself from screaming ive gone a bit old school. Here's Genesis- There's a job to do . I've got a lot on you!

M M May I ask you a question? (P P Pick up a penguin!)

MAYDAY
In 1620 the Mayflower took 102 pilgrims across the water to the US of A. How many actually reached land?

MAYQUEEN
En France sur le premiere le mai, that is the firsst of may, some males may give french ladies 'lillies of the vale' which are a type of flower, why?

MAYHEM
The tallest maypole was 143ft high and stood for 56 years before it was felled. What are the pieces thought to have been used for?


Wasn't that amayzing. Maybe you thought so, maybe you didn't. All I know is that I'm dismayed I didn't see any penguins that needed lifting. They could all see fine- I'd have only been getting in their way!
