Well we have a grumpy people thread on the other section, so I thought I'd start a thread for good things here

1. As I walked to uni yesterday I passed a row of trees covered in fluffy pink blossom and it was really stunning.
2. My lecturer didn't show up yesterday afternoon so I spent an hour and a half chatting with my friend Laura on the grass in the sun and reading crappy women's magazines.
3. It's raining right now and so it's cooling everything down
4. I got an M&Ms brownie
5. I've now discovered gluten free corn pasta so I can eat pasta without being in pain
6. I spent yesterday evening in Jon's company which was very enjoyable
7. I have chocolate
8. I have South Park to amuse me when I'm taking a break from revision
9. I've bought Anna's birthday present and it's coming soon
10. I've got some Swear trainers coming soon
11. I've done over half my necessary duty hours for St John this year and only one month of the year has gone by so far
12. There is now a fence of slate tiles stopping Trixie from getting into our garden

the fact that i'm getting distracted from revision by elias corey's synthesis for tamiflu (anti-bird flu drug) which is quite relevant to one of my modules, rather than pretty dresses, which aren't.

the existence of short leather chaps for alex to wear to wendy house.

1. Using LOTS of bleach and cleaning the bathroom (mmmm.... chlorine gas....)
2. Top Gear this evening. They'd decided to try and make a people carrier into a soft top convertible. They took said convertible to 100mph and it just held together, through a safari park where it had monkeys sitting on the roof and finally had to take it through a car wash (apparently modern convertibles can be taken through car washes). The car wash in question was brand new and had cost £1.5 million. Whilst washing the car it caught fire. They actually managed to set fire to a car wash.
3. Remembering another time on Top Gear when Clarkson took an offroader 4x4 of some sort across an army training ground with a tank in pursuit. They danced around a giant hedgey thing before Clarkson veered off and left the tank circling. He then decided to go down a big steep slope saying 'the tank can't follow me here'.
4. Finding an old Times magazine with photos of SEM images of sperm, embryos and images taken down a spinal cord. Very cool.
5. A clean bathroom. Clean!

Was it Enter the Matrix on PS2? If so then go you, I love that game just for the way you can beat up an obscene number of people with about two buttons...

"obscene" is quickly becoming my favourite word to describe something large, such as a large amount of time/number of people etc. "For some obscure reason" is my suffix for when I'm describing events which I don't understand Smiling

Anyway things that are good

1 Stadium Arcadium is out tomorrow

2 I wrote a song and used a chord even Tim wasnt sure about

They sounded like GnR, as i've already said and, as we discussed on the way back, that isn't a bad thing.

That band was quite good - I didn't like the singer though. Anyway, more good things:

1. I've actually done some serious revision for my French Speaking exam on Wednesday, so I might actually have a chance of passing it!
2. I now know when X-Men 3 is out, and also when I'm gonna go see it.
3. Tom's been in town buying my birthday prezzie this afternoon (ooh he's so sweet - and he'll probably be a bit embarrassed when he sees that lol!)
4. Erm . . . I'm not ill (always a good thing, except it means I have to do stuff other than sleep).
5. I had some mini danish pastries for breakfast today - and it was good.

1. I think I've done enough revision for my exam tomorrow.
2. I finally finished a letter to my penfriend that I started nearly 3 months ago! Just in time for her birthday, too (it's the day before mine).
3. Once I've done this exam, that's the final thing that I absolutley HAVE to do this week.
4. Some of my housemates who had become a bit distant recently have suddenly started being friendly to me again (although I suppose the fact that I've been coming and going from hall recently didn't help things).
5. Erm . . . that's all I've got for now!
