Woke up bang on 11am to my iTunes alarm app on my vintage nokia (yes it can be done, but don’t try), so I had loads of time to torrent my reading list. I’ve got to read ‘Paintshop Professional for Amateurs’ and/or strictly also ‘Excel at EXCEL excellently you XL: a guide for the obese’ by Monday, which is roughly today, so you do the arithmetic. Better still, do it on my Ipad, not that I’d lend it to you; I don’t know you and I haven’t bought one yet.

At midnight last night my bedder (European) asked me the naïve question, ‘Why do you have a PC screen sellotaped to your laptop?’ answer? You guessed it: ‘because it was a silly dare and I regret it’. Also it’s ideal for gaming.

I suppose I’ve never truly moved on from Tetris, I still find myself playing it in the shower or past, but I’ve convinced my college (near Corpus, but not Catz or Jesus) to buy me an N64 for my portfolio on ‘game x’ (complicated stuff but let’s just say imagine Diddy Kong Racing, but with Mario and friends).

Holy Damn, my blackberry just crashed and I lost all of this document except the above. Basically, I went on to predict that Apple will make a laptop that is forbidden to eat a human but does it anyway and so is outcast and causes eternal damnation etc. My DOS is really against it, and so am I- which is annoying.

You’re probably wondering which font I’m typing in, which is frankly distracting; it’s a mix of Lucinda Handwriting and Stencil by the way. On weekends I use some sans serif shit because sometimes you’ve got to chill-out and just type.

Few people know this but two out of three Compscis are either men or women, but it still always feels like a sausage fest in the IT Lab; so many bloody male butchers it makes me sick to be in there. To be fair I applied to Cambridge thinking it was a course for competent skiers, but it’s been a good learning experience. For example, did you know that an electronic mouse was named as such because mice are also small? I did, and yet learning it from an expert really re-enforces it.

Right I need to go pick up my new USB stick (2 metres) from Boots. I’ve hacked my loyalty card so that I get my receipts printed in red ink. Result! Logout.
