Down the drain
I'm not sure who thinks they are funny, but removing 3 of the drain covers along the road from Jack Martin to Arthur Vick is not a big joke. Having nearly fallen down one of them last night (and at the very least would have ripped a tendon), I became quite angry about it last night. So, in the unlikely event that whoever thought this was a good idea reads this, this is for you; you're a f***ing moron.January 17, 2006

Propaganda
Writing about web page http://www.facebook.com
I'm sure everyone is already a member of some sort of online community for keeping in touch with your friends. However, I will strongly encourage everyone to join facebook . Amongst other things, your profile is highly customizable and searchable. If you are trying to find someone you met in the union, for example, a single piece of data is needed to find them on facebook — first name, last name, course, living arrangements, general interests… you get the picture (of course, knowing what they look like is also a prerequisite, and indeed worse comes to worse, knowing what they look like can just about be sufficient to find them!).
It also allows others to "tag" photos of you, so if someone else were to upload pictures of you and they tagged them, they can link straight off your profile (unless you choose otherwise), without you doing a thing.
There are many other reasons to join facebook, but why not find out for yourself? I urge everyone to sign up, so get facebook'ing!

End of term is nigh
In the midst of being terrified of playing Martinu with Laura with an audience (because it's not easy, not because I was playing with Laura!), having no music to play off for oceans and suddenly realising the bass drum had no sticks on it just before a piece begins, the brass concert went pretty well! However, on listening to the brandenburg (a piece I have played as a marimba quintet), I became quite sad as I realised that I would most likely never have the opportunity to play in any tuned percussion ensembles. I don't really like that train of thought so I'll stop writing about that!
I am thouroughly unimpressed at the fact that I am supposed to have lectures 9–11am tomorrow, whether I'll go is another story… and, on that note…
