I'm Back!

Hello all! I'm back from the big city! Actually, I've been back for nearly a week, but I've been busy restocking my life, sheperding my parents around South West England, and cursing my BLOODY COMPUTER which has become unhinged again. Looks like its gonna need be professional help this time to... I miss electronics that responded positively to whacking them. Oh well.

But that's why I've not been able to supply any of my own pictures... No way to upload them you see. But I've included a picture of the London Eye done up as an enourmous Catherine Wheel. My sister and aunt were there for the festivities, the rest of us holed up in the boat allowing our agoraphobia to take precedence. 'Course that meant it didn't take us two and a half hours to get home either. And we got to see the look of terror in the apartment above us as one of their bottle rockets made an unexpected entrance into their sitting room... They kept at it though, despite being mildly singed!

All in all it was a great Christmas, and I got to mark a bunch more things off in the "1,000 Places To See Before You Die" book I got for Christmas. I think at last count I was up to 32, so only another 968. Intrestingly, I've seen all of the entries in South Dakota, and only half of those in Montana. But that's probably because all of the entries in South Dakota were on the I-90 corridor right there by Mount Rushmore. No mention of the Corn Palace! Really! I guess the positive news is that I never have to go back to South Dakota again. Hallelujah!

So now it's just a matter of getting back into the swing of school... Just in time for exams to... Joy. Also got my timetable for next semester so I've finally remembered the other course I was taking besides "Comedy, Comedians, and Romance"... It's called "After Elizabeth" and I presume this means after Queen Elizabeth the 1st, although I'd be infinitely more interested in a course detailing the years after Elizabeth the 2nd. That'd be wicked cool prestadigitation!

Kudos go out to Jennie and Amanda both of whom will NOT be recieveing Chia Pets, although the waif thing did not go according to plan... Shipping costs were just way to high, sorry. As for that celebratory post-Derrida drink, I look forward to it PROVIDED we do no talking about Derrida. I left the country to avoid that class! So yes, thats all for now... I'll post again soon, hopefully on my own little box of digital wonder, and until then, TTYL TTFN.
