The desk
For the first time in a number of months, I’m back at my own black glass desk, using the computer once left here by my brother a number of years ago. Once again, I’m typing on my IBM Model M keyboard, the classic clicky beast. Unfortunately I haven’t been getting as much use out of…

I demand satisfaction!
Yes, I am now equipped to duel with my new rapier! It’s strange, but I always imagine swords as elegant, light weapons, whereas the reality is that they are heavy monsters. Even the rapier, one of the lightest swords, is hefty enough. I can’t imagine having to fence with it for any amount of time.…

2000 Views! This is very exciting…
This is it! 2000 views! Thank you to my readers, if there are any of you out there, this is very exciting news. I also have fencing news to share, from the Student Individuals. I came third! It’s the first time I’ve actually made it through the Direct Elimination matches, and I also won all…

What a week!
I’m back home, and completely exhausted. This week has been a total write-off in terms of work, as I started off tired from fencing and enjoying myself all weekend, then I had the 2nd year medicine formal on Wednesday night to ensure I would be wrecked for remainder. Now add to that my new cold/whatever…

Apologies
I had intended to post something on Friday, but things were pretty hectic as I was getting ready to head to Dublin for the fencing intervarsities. I don’t have much time to write at the moment, but everything went well, and we won against six universities and lost against three which was pretty good overall.…

Monies…give me your monies please
Money. It’s not the be all and end all, or the route to happiness, but it certainly is one less burden if you don’t have to worry about it. And on that note it would be helpful if I was actually making some to offset all my erractic expenditures, so here’s a brief plug. As…

Despite what you may believe…It’s still Friday
Hello again, for the second time today. Thankfully I survived the train, and I’m hear to bring you my news, as I watch the engadget show on my media centre (which remains nameless, and is still working well). The week has been busy as usual, but still pretty good. Firefly viewing resumed, and we almost…

It’s Friday
As you will have figured out from the title, and possibly just existing in general, it is indeed Friday. That being the case, I am excited, but not enough to write a song about it. But we’ll see what happens. I’m currently writing on the train on my way back home, so forgive me if…

Filming once again
Things are good, but pretty busy at the moment. Monday night was the camcorder club as usual, but instead of a talk by a member, we had to judge films entered into an inter-club competition (best of clubs). If that was the best all of those camcorder clubs could do, I’d damn well hate to…

Back to porridge…literally
As you may have guessed, the title represents not only the start of the university semester, but also my return to porridge as an alternative to breakfast cereal. It’s all part of my grander scheme to stay off milk as much as possible; which is in turn part of another even grander scheme. But that’s…
