Fri, 03 Nov 2006 14:01:47 -0600

Tonight on the harbor there's going to be a great fireworks display in honor of Guy Fawkes' botched attempt to blow up the British parliament. People will probably be burning effigies of him as well. My kind of holiday. In other news, two of my flatmates just left for home this morning. They were good people and I'll miss them. We came to New Ze... Read More

A highlight of the exam was that I got the chance to use the phrase "intellectual masturbation." That was great.

The trimester is over and I have a big final tomorrow. I should have taken this opportunity to study but instead I went to the Wellington Zoo with some friends. Even now the minutes are drawing nearer yet I'm sitting here writing this blog about how I went to the zoo instead of studying.Read More
