Easter
Posted in Uncategorized on March 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This year all the Easter Eggs come in entirely recyclable wrap. The boxes are not plastic but rather paper, and they foil can be recycled as cans. How do I know? Because all the Easter egg boxes have a long explaination on their side about how recyclable they are.
Why is it [...]

I want to reorgainze the weblog. It’s going to be a process. I’m not sure how to do it yet.
Do you see the tabs at the top? Do you see how I added “Oregon”? I want to add a bunch of tabs that allow me to classify different posts under different chapter headings. I know, [...]

That’s right, I can’t have a weblog without a schedule.
So. Today I’ve finished writing my damn Hamlet paper for my darned Hamlet class. I’ll edit it tomorrow.
By April 12th (about two weeks) I’ve got to finish both the Hamlet paper to a really good standard, and the paper on Gabriel Harvey.
This will give [...]

Advertising is cheap, these days, because no one can afford it. Because of this a lot of public interests and charities are buying advertising space.
The London Police Department recently started running an ad on bus shelters saying “Anything you say can be held against you”. It’s just a big sign saying that. [...]

Currently I can’t find:
My British Library Card
My ATM Card
My Pearl Necklace
My Crystal Necklace

Toby, in the accommodation office, told me that the e-mail we all use to send our questions about accommodation to (accomm@kcl.ac.uk) doesn’t work. An hour (literally) after he said that, we got an e-mail from it. I told him so, and he asked me to forward the e-mail we got to him. [...]

I’m so so so so so so tired. And I just want to go home now. If I went home, I’d go to the tulip gardens this weekend with my mother and I’d see the daffodils, there are so many new kinds these days, and we’d think about what to plant next year, [...]

There is one mystical boy in my office. He knows how to transfer calls. None of us know how to transfer calls but him. I’ve had jobs before that required me to transfer calls and they were always the worst, because knowing how to transfer calls is an unknowable, impossible skill. [...]
