But not much of one, since panicking about BIDDS revision (see: "lack of"), sleeping, and occasional lectures and the like seem to take up most of my time. I believe I may have mentioned this before.
That said, there have been nights with friends - Blaise cooked us a Burns Night dinner on Saturday at which we discovered we actually do like haggis after all; in my case it's a fairly unconditional liking, in Han-Ley's it comes with the proviso that no one dances around him chanting "sheep lungs sheep lungs sheepy sheepy sheep lungs" or similar. Not that I would, of course.
Following on from that, we did actually take an evening off to revisit Trinbar last night, perhaps due to some kind of nostalgia.
Following Norm's rather frequent and generally inexplicable closures (e.g. closing the bar for the duration of the Rugby World Cup final, presumably so he could skip off work and watch the match in peace), there is now a sign on the door telling us to phone the catering office if the bar is closed. The implication is "if the bar is closed and shouldn't be," but I do wonder if anyone's phoned them at 6am yet...
We also managed to win £4 on the quiz machine - and it only took £3 input. Yay!

A discussion on what to name a new piece of computer equipment (yes, this happens):
Han-Ley: Keira?
Me: Yeah, that works, it's very thin. Irish spelling or Welsh?
Han-Ley: K-E-I-R-A.
Me: Oh. Well... it's not the Irish spelling...
Han-Ley: What? But it has IRA in it!

PS. Do you think "dodyist" is a subliminal message from people who did not like Princess Diana's boyfriend?
I went off and looked up "dodyist" on dictionary.com to find out what it meant.
Then it wasn't a word so I checked to see if maybe you meant "dadaist".
Then I realised you were probably talking about the word verification code from Blogger.
... it's been a long week.
Yes, I was indeed. But since you looked it up, what does "dadaist" mean?
PS. Your mammy is naughty!
Da·da or da·da (dä'dä)

Basically, I gather it means artwork (or the artist producing these) with the same amount of sense as our post-formal group conversations...
PS. Yes she is.
