Stardate: October 23rd 20andten.

What better way to commence reading week, which is basically a week off, than eating 700 grams of fruit and fibre and embarking on a science fiction adventure? I'm going to start writing a sci-fi serial about a world without countries and borders, so expect to be thouroughly confused initially and then greatly entertained, ON A WEEKLY BASIS(probably wont be weekly as I suffer from laziness).

This sci-fi epic will be interspersed with these type of posts concerning how much cereal I have eaten in the past 24 hours and how much tv I am watching et cetera. So you'll get the best of both worlds, the fantastic future and present reality in all its beauty.

Shopping for thanksgiving jumpers

Hello, it's been to long, I shouldn't have left you. But I'm back now to reanimate this monster. So what's up? I'll tell you what's up.

Sophmore slump
Second year is great in the fact that you think you know everything about uni and the city but that's also paralyzing because instead of being spontaneous and having the carpe diem attitude of first year, you play an inordinate amount of computer games and watch piles of television.
What should I do? Get a hobby
What will third year be like? Go to Vancouver/Prague for a change in scenery

Work wise, I get a few shifts from a telemarketing company, which is bad for the soul but good putting food in my locker, I've also written several sketches about telemarketers so I guess telemarketing has become my muse. On top of that, I'm trying to get a waiter postion which I have registered for but I have yet to be given any shifts, which is annoying.

I'm in the middle of developing two short films that I wrote. We have found a good team of people, now we just need to get some decent actors and then find out when everyone is available(the hardest part). It's an ambitious goal(two films in one semester) but if we can pull it off, we we'll be the greatest student filmmakers this side of the Clyde.

I was invited to a Thanksgiving, which I'm looking forward to greatly. I will be the closest thing to American as everyone else is British, so I'm going all out: sweater, pabst blue ribbon and other American thanksgiving stereotypes I can find (shouting drunken commentary at NFL on tv).

November: Essays, Stand up and possible LCD soundsystem concert wooh
