try to do some homework...read a textbook in bed...Actually the best trick is to actually lie down in your bed and just get on with it and not worry about getting up in the morning and eventually you'll just drift. Works for me.

I'm hungry, but have no car to drive and get some food. And I'm too lazy to walk :pizza:

Sickness, behind with work, and a shit laptop. Cant afford to get a new one for a bit because of another £100 phone bill (eep), so Im having to try and make this one work as best I can for a fortnight or so until I (hopefully) have saved enough up to get a new one.

I recieved some bad news today, and added to that my weekend was somewhat fucked up, and I'm back in college for a psychology exam tomorrow. Lovely.

Mainly on the senses and conditioning and so on. Its on the 5th to 7th chapters of the book "Psychology (3rd Edition){the authors' names escape me currently}. I wouldn't mind but I honestly don't have the €60 to shell out for the book until I get my grant sometime next week.

hmm
seems like beginner stuff
Classical vs operant conditioning?
learning through chains of associations,
that kind of junk?

Details are sketchy until after the autopsy - sometime in the next couple of days - but one of my best mates, who I went to Uni with in Canberra and lived with in Brisbane, was found dead in his car yesterday morning "somewhere between Brisbane and Canberra".

And it's likely I won't be able to make the funeral, whenever it is.

More to follow as I learn it.

Cheers,

Sorry mate, no coverage here, but I appreciate the thought anyway. Thank guys.

Still no news, hopefully tomorrow.

As I'm not a relative of the deceased, I won't be going to the funeral. Ah well.

Cheers,

La Sombra, ...

Sorry to hear that Sombra.

Changing tack slightly, messing with my groove is my really clammy feet. They are not at all endearing.

Does clammy mean sort of greasily sweaty in Manchester or are you dealing with an entirely different animal?

I really don't want to be at work today.

Shaken, not stirred.

It sure does!! Just to clarify, they are not permanently clammy! They were having an off day and have dried out now

So that's a relief for everyone, I'm sure.

Update:

Autopsy report said it was a large liver tumour that (probably, still some details to come) ruptured. Essentially he would have felt pain, pulled the car over, passed out and died in his sleep. Hopefully.

Funeral at 1130hrs in Canberra on Monday.

If there is a plus side, it's that I've been speaking to a few people I haven't been in contact with for a long time.

I'm getting a "Big Chill" kind of feeling. I've suggested one of the guys down there do a 90s soundtrack for the wake. Just the good stuff, mind.

Cheers,

La Sombra, will miss his great mate Jim. A lot. RIP ya big bastard.
