Sorry, I didn't realise what it was (just googled it).  Not all of us have English as our first language.  But sure, let's continue that.

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
 
:yawn:

Write, write, write. That's all it is about. "Write your placement report." "You need to write a paper to improve on your bad presentation." "Will you write me a six-page paper for 100 Euros?" I wrote a tentative outline of my bachelor's thesis, but I discarded it. Now wrote another tentative outline and will ask my lecturer what he thinks of it tomorrow. Placement report written yesterday in an hour or two. Presentation improvement written in two hours: I feel dirty for not doing any proper research or not having a single footnote, but what am I supposed to do if all I have is four pictures the professor sent me ages ago without any workable description? If he doesn't like it, he can take his Persian miniature painting and shove it up his end. Sure I can write a paper on a completely random subject that has nothing to do with what I am working on right now. I'm young and need the money. Oh yeah, why not write an academic 2000 word essay to meet the application requirement for my next degree course? In English this time, because I have so much experience with scholarly writing in English. And when am I supposed to do that? I think I have a lapse between 0:00 and 6 AM. That's wasted time anyway, all I do there is sleep. Bleh. Can't sleep anyway because the house I live in has been a single construction site for the last year. Once they had the facade of the neighbouring house done (which still resulted in me waking up every morning from rubble being tossed down) they re-worked the courtyard. Then my neighbour died and they redid his flat, which literally meant they smashed through entire walls every morning. Once that was done, they started building new gardens just outside my window. Now that that calmed down, they're replacing pipes in the basement, which apparently means they have to drill holes in the foundation of the house. I now wake up every morning from a sound that is so loud it actually makes my bedsheets vibrate. All that came to me this morning, and I am actually not exaggarating. For all of last year I've had the most peaceful mornings on heavy metal festivals.

There Mega, I out-Megaed you.

Sorry, Perun, that was rude, gratuitous and totally uncalled-for, but I couldn't resist.  :P  Still, I'd kill to be a student again, even after Perun's story...
 
Got back from work, rough day at hotel. Alot of people, alot of slimy leftovers, alot of feet hurt.
Actually only two of my feet hurt, so that's good.

Yeah, that guy is a jerk.  :innocent:

I have a fun one-- diagnose why an application is taking 4ish seconds to respond instead of one second.... yeah.  2.9 GHz core two duo, 3 gig ram (don't remember the speed) and it 'all of the sudden' is 'slow'.  yep, no clue.

Meh, I'm home and gonna eat burritos now!

@ Per, I wish I woke to vibrating bed sheets....
 
Do you think they'll anounce some more European dates or I can abandon all hope?

//:
Cos there will be Sonisphere also in Czech republic and rumors say, they'll show up.. but still nothing official.  :S

Remember to use spoiler tags whenever making references to the content of the shows, or else I think the moderators may have something coming for you.
 
So I asked my dad whether he'd like a Best singles mix cd with hallowed in the end of it, or a collection of quiter songs. He couldn't decide.

Now I have to decide on some cross between them. I wanted to put the 8 singles from TNOTB up to SSoaSS, but now I'm feeling obligated to put The Wicker Man and Different World on it.
On the complete opposite if this I may want to put together the quite cd with strange world and the likes of it, with WTWWB at the end of it.

Hmm.
