Stringing a ukulele - nowhere near as easy as the ‘5 minute’ and ‘beginners’ instructions make it look.
Mar 31st
Cat and I just napped for about 5 hours. An honest to god cat-nap. It was awesome.
Mar 31st
Literally about 10 minutes after my last tweet, my ukulele arrived. Royal mail are pretty perceptive these days.
Mar 31st
And my cat is already asleep in the box.
Mar 31st
Strings have arrived, but no ukulele. Yet.

After getting myself royally trounced by the Joker on AA, I will now try to play Bioshock without screaming like a shocked kitten.

Did I mention I’m officially going to do art in Sept? I am, and hopefully no-one at Wolverhampton college will set fire to me.
Mar 30th
I love the @CERN twitter, their excitement is translating well; the actual offices appear to be large groups standing around.
Mar 30th
Art course interview at 3 today. Would feel better about it if they hadn’t got the course i’m applying for wrong.
Mar 29th
I have finished my #disserLAMEtion. Now, in the 2 hours before I have to go print it off, I will shower and have breakfast. University!
Mar 26th
Just hit 4000 words; I am the master of waffling and extended sentence structures. #disserLAMEtion
Mar 25th
Taking a mini break to harass the internet as we start on the final day before my #disserLAMEtion deadline. I’m doing quite well, tbh.
Mar 25th
Lord, look at the time. Will sleep for 5 hours then continue, I suggest you try to do the same @xJanzx.
Mar 25th
I’d just like to point out they put it back afterwards, it wasn’t like I was part of a backalley organ harvesting hit or anything.
Mar 24th
I don’t think I’ve ever hated anything more than my #disserLAMEtion, and I had half my ribcage removed last summer.
Mar 24th
Mar 24th
No, I’m wrong. Fuck you #disserLAMEtion.
Mar 24th
Oh my GOD a statistically significant result! Assuming I’ve done it correctly. Tell me I’m right, RDJ. #disserLAMEtion
Mar 24th
Using RDJ’s Futurist album to power me through. I will be awake until at least 5am, all night if I think it won’t kill me.
Mar 23rd
Come on brain, its just you and me - let’s do some serious work. #disserLAMEtion
Mar 23rd
Awkward but lovely life drawing instructor is awkward, but lovely.
Mar 23rd
Off to life drawing; back in 2 hours to harass Twitter and panic about my dissertation.
Mar 23rd
James Earl Jones AND David Marciano both in the same episode of House? Oh Fox, you’re spoiling me #CanadaWarsMD
Mar 23rd
As happy as I am for James Randi, the number of gay magicians I’m a fan of is getting ridiculous.
Mar 23rd
Receptionist in 30rock is the mean girl from Fall Out Boy’s ‘Dance Dance’ video. It literally just clicked.
Mar 22nd
I should be doing my dissertation. Instead - 2 days of partying. I’m pretty laid back about it.
Mar 20th
Yesterday’s lunch: juice box and a Wagon Wheel. Today’s lunch: cheese on toast and Disney Princess pasta. I’m officially five years old.

“I’m glad [noisy flatmate] got my note, it basically said ‘shut the...”

Film time. It’s looking to be Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, if only because of my recent, disturbingly strong attraction to Robert Downey Jr.
Mar 17th
I was just sent a link by @rodothea to an episode of The Guild. Who was in it? Evil @wilw. Again.
Mar 17th
Its still there. This is pathetic, I’m at least 5 foot bigger than The Thing. Maybe 4, it is pretty big. Fear might be making me exaggerate.
Mar 15th
The Thing is at a really awkward angle, hoover would be a risk. I’m going to have to go for the glass-paper trap. By hand.
Mar 15th
There’s something on my ceiling right above the door. I use the word something because it’s the wrong shape to be a spider. Send help.
Mar 15th
I DID IT. Cunningly combined Henry the Hoover with hairspray - like a gas chamber in a whirlwind.
Mar 15th
My mum just ordered me a takeaway from the place across the street because they’re having one at home. I have an awesome family.
Mar 13th
Britney Spears in How I Met Your Mother? Surprisingly good.
Mar 13th
Someone in the flat stole my Ben & Jerrys. I literally hate people.
Mar 12th
Series 2 of How I Met Your Mother. Slightly scared that Barney Stinson is my perfect man.
Mar 10th
Oh my god. Alice in Wonderland was beyond good.
Mar 9th
Did You Hear About The Morgans is turning out to be quite pleasant. But maybe that’s all Hugh Grant, charming little devil that he is.
Mar 8th
was really hoping someone would release a cover of Who The Fuck Is Alice to coincide with the Burton movie. Seeing it on Tuesday!
Mar 7th
Every time I think its going to be a boring week, someone surprising turns up in London. First @jessicaalba, now @petewentz.
Mar 7th
“I know retro is in and your thing but I really find it insulting… The...”
– Thanks Tom.
Mar 6th
Similarly, my dad is a really good magician. I wonder if he’s a good actor?
Mar 6th
I’m beginning to spot a surprising number of people on TV who are both good actors and good magicians.

Why is @wilw cropping up as the bad guy in everything I watch?
Mar 5th
Its nights like this when I begin to think of homicide cases and sympathise. Too much noise, students are morons.
