I feel much better today. Getting an early night really can make a difference. Last weekend was a bit scary, a colleague's leaving do and a departmental leaving do meant that the bar was free. I'll say no more.
On Sunday Tor and I went with Phil and Martha to a cinema in Hampstead to watch Farenheit 9/11. It was good and Michael Moore manages not to fuck it up. I am quite happy for anyone to have a go at baby Bush, just make sure you get your facts straight so that you can't be discredited. The cinema allows you to take beer inside, and a trip to the pub down the road (that had Leffe on tap) meant that I had a swollen bladder throughout. The lady behind me asked me to slouch in my chair, now I feel for little people, I really do - but fuck off, I'm 6'3, what do you mean slouch, slouch where, and where do my knees and legs go? Silly cow. Why don't you make a little heap with your shoes and your handbag and sit on them? I very kindly moved to the isle seat, and even though this was an amicable solution, I was not entirely happy. Short people, or midgets as they more commonly known, should not get their way owing to their height deficiency.
After the movie we went back to the pub that has Leffe on tap (I promise that had nothing to do with it). We all decided to eat, which was a good idea - it's another one of the multitude of pubs in London that now does Thai food, only they actually have Thai's cooking the food. I had a lamb curry that was reminiscent of the pots of rich Mon curry found on the border of Thailand and Burma. Only this time I was able to identify the main ingredient, lamb.
Yesterday was almost hellish, but as usual we push through. We went out for something to eat wit Alice, who is going back to SA this afternoon. I'll be having lunch with her, so I've got somthing to look forward to.
Tor called me yesterday afternoon, she was very excited and told me that she had passed all her exams. On Sunday I was telling her to be prepared to do the year over, given her situation while studying. But she passed, it's absolutely incredible and all credit to Tor.
Yesterday's post was a dream I had, if anyone is wondering. I think it's for Tor, I think Tor is Bird.

watch it with the short people comments, remember, your testicles are well within the reach of a vertically challenged person.
and you might be well positioned for me to take a dump on your head!
The previous comments are awfy' anal an' parts- focused - wid it no be beter tae pit a positive spin on the situation? Like feed the wee folk spam so they'll grow muckle enough tae see ower the tall yins. Or set up a foundation tae hiv the puir wee buggars stretched. If they can dae it wi'limos Ah'll bet ye a penny tae a pinch of shite they'll be able tae dae it wi'folk. It's jist a question o' political will an' money.
