Well, I'm not drunk enough to go to Drunk Posting, so let's write here instead.

Tonight is the Chemistry Club's annual "Autumn Party" at the Student's Cabin outside Trondheim. I'm not going there this time as I'm going on a plane to my hometown tomorrow morning for a weekend off. However, that didn't prevent me from joining some of the younger students for a pre-party (I'm not going to office tomorrow anyway). First we had some "karsk" in my office (karsk is a local drink made from coffee and moonshine - we used 96% ethanol instead of moonshine  :D). Then I joined them for the real pre-party in the flat some other students are renting near campus. Had some beers, but that's hardly the point. At this pre-party, there was actually (hold your horses) general acceptance for me putting on the following songs:

DumDum Boys - Splitter Pine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg8mer20-48)
Motörhead - Ace of Spades
Judas Priest - Breaking The Law
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Turbonegro - I Got Erection (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEJGk8qfAgI)

I mean, come on? There was even appreciation for The Trooper. I'm just happy right now.

As to part a, we have some older students who I'm convinced take long to graduate just because they like student life/drinking so much, and they're usually awesome.  Sounds like you're that type of guy. ;) And part b: I've long since given up trying to convince stupid people (=people that don't listen to metal :D ) how great metal is. 90% of the time, it doesn't work.  Seems like you had better luck, or maybe it was your role as an older student.

I don't.
This is what is really winding me up about Windows 7. Updates. It has always been a bug bear of mine where Windows insists on making you reboot after around 95% of their updates (as oppose to 90% of Linux updates that do not require a reboot). But Windows 7 has taken it to a new level. You shut down to perform updates - then when you restart Windows, it sometimes tells you it is configuring the update you loaded on the last shut down. And without warning, it reboots. Again. And as I have a dual-boot, if I'm not sitting and staring at the screen waiting for Grub to show, Ubuntu loads up and I then have to shut that down to go back into Windows. Only to find it has only done 40% of the update configuration.  :mad:


And NO, I am not making Windows my default OS in Grub.

Some take long to graduate, others embark on the troublesome journey of doing a PhD   :D But yes, I admit that a desire for continuing student life was a part of my motivation. Being a PhD student is a paid position, but it doesn't pay that well.

As to part b: I don't think it was as much my age that mattered, because yesterday I was with people I haven't been with that much, so I suppose I just had better luck. And, of course, the songs I played them weren't the most demanding metal songs.
 
I always wanted to be dressed like a bear, hadn't the opportunity until now...

People who enjoy (or once enjoyed) hallucinogens just love it.  :)
I would like to know the opinion of a 'clean' person regarding this film though.
