Things I Like
I like the blackest, darkest coffee.
I like the feeling of waking up early, knowing the entire day is ahead of you, stretching out deep until the night.
I like nostalgia.
I like Coffee House music, that balances relaxation and calm, with reminiscent warmth.
I like the glow weak outdoor lights emit, when they cast an orange haze across forgotten areas of urban landscape and give an eerie romance to common objects..
I like positivity, optimism, saxophones and brutal despair.
I also like paradoxes.
Unconnective ramblings... Part 1
Is caffeine exponentially delibitating? I'm not really sure what I was trying to achieve with this thought. Especially as I don't think delibitating is a word.
Discussing the project mark scheme:
Tom: I wonder what is defined as flair?
Dan: Glossy handbags
I'm also hoping by the afternoon tomorrow I'll reach a state of delirium where I can blog and code at a heightened level of awesomeness. On the other hand....
I bought a Sata cable woo! now where are my fucking bluetooth headphones. I need a zen bluetooth vomiter.
New Word: sitcomas - you can infer what it refers to.
I bought: 2 salads, 1 baguette, 3 pot noodles, 1 BIG packet of crisps, a nutrigain bar, 4 pints of milk, and 6 cans of pepsi max
and all I have left is 1 pot noodle.
People often ask me, Tom why is your blog so successful. I say its simply all to do with quality standards. And the fact I have none.
There's an orange moon tonight.
I love music.
I might go to china or somewhere and learn mandarin intensively. Could be cool? OFFER ME SOME CONFIRMATION YOU FOOLS!
What do I want to do?
Whatever it is, I want a year of it.
Insight is blinding in hindsight
Tommeh: omg I'm the peak of unfitness
Tommeh: my GA would replace me without a second glance, no ties have to be broke randomly
Tommeh: Stephen Hawking could beat me in a foot race
CowboyDan: lol @ humor !@ physique
Tommeh: I need lollerskates I think
Tommeh: and to top this all off I just went to the shower in my towel, and a korean girl comes round the corner, and like pauses looking at me, and I dunno if it was in awe or in disgust
CowboyDan: lol, I'm sure it was in awe of the european physique
Tommeh: lolz, I'll have u know I'm english not european
CowboyDan: was she hot ?
Tommeh: I dunno, I've seen her around I thought she hated me
Tommeh: but I've held the door for her a few times, so dunno
CowboyDan: nice
Tommeh: maybe she'll surprise me in the middle of the night in a nightie wanting some lovin'
Tommeh: then again she may gut me instead
CowboyDan: well at least you'll get some hot korean sex, and a knife
CowboyDan: knives can be very useful you know
Tommeh: I dunno, I'm not into blood play, sounds a bit crazy for my liking
You may remember
I posted a quote by Edvard Munch that describes how he felt a scream through nature.
Well I just went to get some hula hoops (now in healthy flavour!) and a diet coke, and on my way down to the porters' lodge I looked up at the moon. It was goldenie orange with swispy scratchings of clouds around it, and I suddenly felt enraged at the lack of effort and work I've done in the past two days. I think it may have been an epiphany. Anyway, I think I was rewarded by the vending machine, as I got a free packet of mccoys as well.
This post is mainly to remind myself in the coming three weeks to actually work like a nutter. Nuff said. Oh and don't get drunk.
And your songs will be breaking all hearts again
Note To Self: Don't give up on albums so quickly, Kill Your Own is awesome.
Today started off moderately Brisk but soon warmed up with clear skies arriving from the south west and a warm upwardly breeze near your skirt. I mean.....shit.
Had a meeting with Ed today, was 1 hour and 15 minutes long and we managed to settle on some crazy ass Genetic Programming Regression algorithm. Looks scary, I have zero time to do any of this and he's gone on holiday now. I cry. I may get my research published though, if it gets accepted...
Current Addiction: Forza 2 - I've played WAY too much of this today, but ah well, its good fun. Work tomorrow. And perhaps food.
DUCKS!!1!!!!one!!!

"Fide sed cui vide" or in English:
"Trust, but in whom take care".

Why I should write 19th Century Literature
"I see you found my clit bangles" he said with surprising sincerity.
"why yes darling, I was mearly sifting through this collection of lint-"
"Ah yes, how convenient. I believe you have been hunting for them for some time."
A look of intriguing bewilderment flashed across her face, as she pondered a tactful response.
"dear, you're wearing them in plain sight....."
Worst. Poem. Ever.
Lying in wait, amongst the wickedest weather,For nothing of power can be buried forever,
As from times long gone past
A withered legacy of a sullen task.
For only in the rain.
The nikeman cometh again...
Life Observations
The above photo shows the pricing of "The TechGuys" at PC World. I was looking at this and VOMITING at the shocking pricing of everything. Memory installation costs 14.99. You may think "ooh that's not much", it takes like zero time and effort, take off the case, shove the memory in a slot. Job done. No software or anything. Software Installation 29.99. WTF? that's how much software costs and they're charging you that much to stick a CD in the drive and hammer the next button!? I would go on, but I don't want to fill my blog with ranting. Basically befriend someone who knows about computers, then swap some good old fashion lovin' for computer help. Apparently it's worth it.
This may look like an average paper recycling bin, but you'd be mistaken. If we look at the items that are wanted, and the items that are not wanted we see a worrying pattern. Every single piece of "wanted" paper contains personal/private/delicate information, while all other paper is generic paper waste that will be unlikely to contain such details. Man, Cory Doctorow would be all over this....
Love of the Loveless
I'm currently stuck with my 3rd choice mp3 player (my phone) as 1) My iPod Shuffle is still lose 2) I can't find the cable that charges my Zen. Tit wangles.
Russians in my way all day, though when I say all day I mean in the laundrette. But I mean, come on, you let people THROUGH a walkway, not stand topless (was a fat dude) and motionless. As my twitter pun went "rushing past russians". haw haw, gunf.
I woke up today - according to my notes. I love Eels, yum yum yum. Of course I'm talking about consuming the musical intricies of one Mr E, not masticating on a diverse range of sea dwelling creatures. On this note, what is the best way to expand my vocabulary? I imagine probably just reading. Damn I have no time.
It might be nice to create a random acts of kindness website. Then it again it might be horrendous. I don't know, I wouldn't wanna hazard a guess, the consequences could be dire.
I have suddenly realised I'm attracted to girls with lots of writing on their hand, possibly because of slight hecticness or it just looks cool, or that they have a torrent of creative thought spilling out of their brains on to their hands.
New Hobby: Replacing random pages in people's work with "This page has been censored/quarantined"
Things I watched today instead of working
Brick: Again I reiterate, this is one of the greatest films ever. Love it to bits.
High School Musical 2: Nearly as awesome as the first, and as I said to Raffle: it's hard to quantify awesome. Though obvious Brick is better.
Evan Almighty: Meh, tis alright, nothing special. CG is a bit suspect. I bet SuperBad will be 100 times better, but it passed the time while I struggled with java.
Voices tell me... tell me to kill myself... what to do? what to do?
Fads are cool. I have yet to see if twitter will be. Or just be time consuming and annoying.
Ed wants me to work till my fingers explode, little does he know that I am lazy and unmotivated. Actually he may know that...
Wenger said recently: "Sometimes I watch tapes of Arsenal games and I see a man on the touchline I don't recognise. Then I realise it is me and that can be frightening." This is indeed worrysome, as he looks exactly the same as he did 7 years ago. On the topic of football, I forgot to mention I stayed up massively late, like till 4/5am to watch LA Galaxy vs DC United play. It was streamed legally for free! Now that's awesome. Beckham was extremely good, very pleased for the old lad. England V Germany soon (wednesday).
Last night I had a dream we went on holiday, and we went to a Maccy D's on the beach, and then I lost my memory like I was drunk, except I had no alcohol. And I woke up the next day. So we went down to the beach, and English Danu was doing something crazy so we went in the water. Then a tidal wave came. And I remember thinking that the water effects in my dream were crap compared to Bioshock. Which promptly woke me up.
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
~ Marcus Aurelius
Bask in me...
Squirrels came into our kitchen today. I didn't invite them, I'd lost my invitation creation kit. But they got into someone's cereal and it went EVERYWHERE. Totally gnawed a hole in the side of it, extremely hilarious, especially as I didn't have to clear it up....
Plus I think it hid the fact that one of my smoothies LITERALLY exploded in the fridge. Ah well, caps will save the day.
Check this extremely awesome AI technique for images, it's actually amazing.
Apparently if you have Gymnophobia u can never be naked. Which would suck if you were being born. Or a nudist. Or most raw animals. And indeed a few fish.
I was on campus until 3am or something working, then I Walked back and there were badgers everywhere. One ran into a fence, as such, and another just pootled around the ground. Silly badgers.
