So, to cut a long and probably very familiar story short, I am suffering from this:

Apparently, it's PREROGATIVE, not perogative like I thought.

Huh.

Moreover, especially in light of the pioneering nature of the discussion area, this means that the text becomes a mostly predictive venture, which while helpful, cannot be used as an analytical tool, unless by comparing what was thought to become with what did.


TENSE. OWIE.

OMG. BIGGEST NEWS EVER.


YOU CAN DRINK TEA THROUGH A TWIX. IT'S LIKE A PENGUIN MILK STRAW BUT COSIER.

I had a dream that I woke up and saw that it was 15.05 and so I rang my mentor to tell her to wait a bit longer because I was gonna be very late. She was whispering because she was in a lecture, and I forgot I'd called her so I didn't speak for two minutes, but it was all very vivid. She sounded confused too.

Now I'm worried I sleep-rang her :/

TEA!

I'm planning on having my FIFTH mug of tea tonight. Just sort of craving it. But then it's well known it's a hug in a mug. Except it's not because that's soup, but you know what I mean.

And I'm watching Hercules and I have a sausage sandwich. Life can't get much better. Nom nom nom.

I'm watching the Exectuion of Gary Glitter, and as usually, C4 have done us proud with gripping drama.

As someone who only often truly understands and feels things once I have experienced them, this is really getting to me. It's not an "execution" it's an "institutionalised murder", and what it really shows up is how lenient our penal system is. I'm not calling for the Death Penalty by any means, but Life should mean Life, not bail in 6 years.

There are news reports, interviews, and coverage of protests. Even a short word from the coldly named, "Hanging Technician", who reveals he'll have to remain psychologically detached when he pulls the lever.

Gary Glitter is unremorseful and arrogant in this, but the wobble in his lip when the sentence was announced is heartening, and really reached out to me.

It's a war of words and of media, in a country where the politicians decide.

People have complained about this -- indeed Gary Glitter himself is planning to sue (which I think he's right to) -- but I'm interested whether this will make people actually want the death penalty or not. It seems doubtful, as the programme raises some brilliant questions that would be seized upon by an interested RE group or Philosophy class, most with an answer that most of you could tell me straightoff.

Well done C4, it's shock tactics again, but, I applaud you.

SIMON COWELL: The Most Hated Man In Britain right now?

To sum up: JEDWARD VS LUCIE. GUESS WHAT SIMON CHOSE?

THE WRONG ONE.


GAAAHHHH. *HATE*


Sam Gore: "The Judges are being very inconsisent this year. One minute they say it's about entertainment, then the vocals, then likability. Perhaps when the judges decide what competiton this is, then the public will know how to vote."

Is anybody gonna be able to check this out? Watch the shows or chase up what the clues were or anything?

Right.

I would so be helping to build that pyre though. Gah.

I'm watching The Noughties - Was That It? and it's interesting but wierd. For a start everyone's talking like they're completely over or that they were brilliant, neither of which are true. It's interesting to see the decade I've known so well be discussed so easily and in such a comedic way, and it's a bit of a blast from the present too.

Headf**k. )

Peter Andre just told Richard Hammond he was a very attractive man.




I think my brain might have broke.

I used to listen to Absolute Radio a lot in first year. After Capital FM went, it was the next best thing. One of my new housemates has talked about it a lot, about how awesome it is.

I had my radio on last night to make sure I got the switchover to Not British Summer Time. I put it on the Absolute, just so it wouldn't be too painful on my sleepy ears.

That reminded me how awesome radio is, and now I know how awesome Absolute Radio is. Its just played One Day Like This (Elbow), and then Fleetwood Mac, and then Sweet Disposition. That short list contains TWO of my tingly songs. I think this is love.
