Showers

Hmmm . . . the problem with being on a corridor with ten third-years who actually go to lectures, and a lovely but enthusiastic cleaner who turns up early in the morning, and not having any lectures yourself until 11am, is that it gets to 10am and you're still thinking 'I could really do with a shower', and you don't do anything about it because the one time you headed for the bathroom today the showers were both taken. And now they're probably being cleaned. Hmmmm.

Yesterday was a strange day. Spent far too long texting a friend about matters I won't get into, safe to say that we're back to where we started, which is good, but does seem a bit of an odd use of two hours and 90+ texts. Thank goodness for the unlimited text package.

Woot, I'm listening to the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack. Must be one of the most beautiful and varied OSTs ever. Smiles :)

So, I spent over an hour,and about five journal pages, noting down every image that appears in the first four minutes of Oliver Stone's JFK. There's probably an average of an image every second, perhaps more, in there, so it took a LONG TIME . . . bizzarely interesting though. Not sure how much use it'll be to the dissertation (the Kennedy images don't really start until the last 20seconds of the montage), but once I'd started it was very difficult to stop.

Choir social tonight, which is going to be a formal at Clare's College - a 'formal' basically being a formal meal colleges have here, some once a week (like mine), others every day (like my cousin's). And everyone dresses up in suits/dresses, and wears robes if your college has them (mine doesn't) and has a three-course meal, and often (unfortunately) drinks a crazy amount of wine. Although they've done a lot this year to make people cut back on that. And our choir is full of people who are careful about their drink, so yey, should be a great evening :)

Right, I need a shower.
