AKA revision week update
Wrestling is invading my course, every time I hear the word evolution I think of the stable rather than the process.
Music rec - the Streets.
And PJ Harvey.
Every time I hear the beginning of the Anastacia song -"Left Outside Alone" I keep thinking that it's Evanesence.
I think I'm coming down with something just in time for the exams. Either that or my immune system is as depressed as I am about the Energy Flow module.
Okay that's two bands I like that are both from Iowa - Slipknot and the Killers (US Indie Rock). I highly recommend the Killers especially if you like the Strokes and all that, especially the song 'Mr. Brightside'.
Pachabel's Canon is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
Schubert is always a good thing.
Prokofiev's Capulet theme (or rather the Montague and Capulet tune) is also a thing of genius - even if every time I hear it I think of Yagudin's routine to it.
One massive plus of listening to Classic FM occasionally I get to hear the Vienna Philharmonika. It's not the most PC thing to say but they are the best orchestra out there.
Unfortunately when it comes to classical music I'm a conservative sort.
And I love listening to Maxim Vengerov.
More recs - Golden Touch by Razorlight.
Run by Snow Patrol.
Daniel Ratcliffe is being interviewed on Radio One right now, and he's just said something about managing to get Gary Oldman into Audioslave by playing it in the make-up bus. This amuses me greatly.
Apparently the director made them all write an essay about their characters, Harry wrote 1 page, Ron forgot and Hermionie wrote 16 pages.
[Re: asprin being a wonder drug and people prone to all kinds of illness should take one a day] What they don't say is that taking one asprin a day for years will also lead to intestinal inflamation and bleeding.
I've seen another snippet from POA, the important over-riding detail is that I want to hug Lupin. Even more so that usual.
Ready to smite my animal Energy Flow lecturer. He puts rhetorical questions into his lectures and doesn't answer them - case in point - he asks if pandas are releated to wolves, and then proceeds to talk about polar bears. Then there's the lecture titled Darwin's finches but what we got taught about was adaptive radiation in 3 spined sticklebacks.
I am in awe of Mynx's ability to write Evolution.
I think I may have to go on a classical music spending spree (note to self - Carl Jenkins)
Things which are scary - I can recognise Vengerov's playing without being told it's him. That's how good he is.
Got a date for Uni Challenge, it's the 11th of June which is the least convenient one it could have been.
Dear Nasser, don't quit in the middle of a test series, again! Actually his leaving speech was fantastic, and he was half the way to crying and even me and Nisha who aren't the biggest fans were going 'aww'.
Am ready to kill the people talking outside my window. They're also whistling.
Will also kill whoever it was that prank called me at 12.30 last night. This person must and will be found! Plus I kind of sprained my wrist on my writing hand so you can imagine how happy I am now. It sorted itself out before the exam though.
( Smackdown )
Much better than expected.
Return of the King gets better on its second viewing.
There is a particular joy in the way bad vodka burns down your throat.
It is impossible to revise to a Strauss waltz.
I become less and less convinced of my ability to write in English and to count in any language.
Would various of my friends stop being Romeo and Juliet with the divide being Islam and bog-standard Britishness.
