I have midterms, and will I be relaxing, NOOO!
Instead I'll be writing my IOP which is due right after. Don't we all love the International Baccalaureate.

@Silencer - Sanctuary gets a lot better

I recently finished season 4, I think it is worth the watch

@Stormy - yeah, Sanctuary has great potential, but I'm up to episode 9 and am kinda stalled, because the Monster-of-the-Week format is killing me, 'specially seeing as the monsters are somewhat...er...reflective of the low production value. Decent watch, though, I guess. I'll finish it eventually.

@Loki - oh, come ON. Every handset I've ever seen comes with a speakerphone option by DEFAULT, even the ones that are only like $50. And we're the comparatively behind-the-times tech country, here!

Sanctuary is such a dissapointment. I made myself watch through to mid-season of season 2 because everyone said the second season is HEAPS better - they lied. The only good thing about Sanctuary is their portrayal of Tesla (and even that is lowered by the complete lack of even trying to give him an accent. Which, in a show with the notoriously worse British accent EVER you might think they'd at least attempt a Russian one for Tesla).

Silencer - That's $50 I can spend on books instead. I have priorities, you know

Have to break some bad news to someone, and they're probably going to hate me for it. This is going to suck.

After driving down to the shops to pick up some food, I just realised that since I had a seizure three weeks ago (my first in six years) that I legally am not allowed to drive for the next two months.

Are you just the breaker of bad news or are you the cause as well? If you are just breaking the bad news I don't think you'll be blamed - well, maybe at first but then I'm sure they'll come to their senses quickly and then get angry at whoever or whatever is to actually blame.

I'm the cause, I guess...but it's not entirely my fault and there's no other way out of it. In fact, what I'm doing is probably the right thing. Doesn't make my chances any better. :/

Well, I just went and did it.

And no, musical accompaniment doesn't quite do in these circumstances

EDIT: Scratch that. It just went to shit.

Though mayhap I should point out; from a certain-level-of-paranoid perspective, probably not the best idea to post about said scenario on the internet...won't cause you much trouble now, but better safe than sorry, neh? Just a thought.

Well, messing with my groove is that all my friends decided to peace-out at midnight, instead of being good guests and getting shitfaced and leaving at 3AM.
Or is that making me happy. I have no idea.

Messing with my groove is that I tried to use the inter-user messaging service and it didn't work.

Also, the entire reason I was using it was to inquire as to how and why Miss Savage was using gray text. And to implore her to cease and desist.

Seconded.

If I'm not using my phone to access the forum I tend to skip her posts because they hurt my eyes if I try to read them.

It's an absolute pain in the arse and I don't think I've ever applied for a grant where I've seen the call go out in plenty of time, it's always a last minute thing. We decided to apply for this one a week ago and the deadline is tomorrow. This is my biggest one yet, about £1million worth (if I've done the costings right......) so I'll be rather pleased with myself if it's succesful but right now I hates it!

Edit - grey text doesn't bother me, I used IP Board or the mobile skin.
