my whole life has become a backlog

the last few days had me whipped, beaten, and then some.

its exam season which means high noon for excessive caffeine and late nights

life is great

starbucks is taking over the world, and my world

>>>>>>~~~<<<<<~~~~~~>>>>>>~~~~<<<<<~~~~

have a million and three photos to post, but that will have to wait until after exams. here are two photos taken tonight, however, to satisfy your rods and cones in the meantime.

monotonous days of cycles of books, caffeine, eating, sleeping with the occassional, iterant going-outs


having chilled for 90% of the past two terms, Im faced with mammoth exams, an under-worked brain and piles of prosaic literature to peruse


on a more positive note, I have finally completed a full draft of my dissertation and sent it to my professor, albeit a few weeks late. if anyone remembers my aeon-ago post about this essay, I ended up choosing the topic of article 3 of the european convention of human rights arguing against the court taking a wider conception of the terms 'inhumane and degrading treatment or punishmet'. Im a cruel one, arent I.


p.s this evening, went to the Comedy Cafe just off Old Street for a good laugh. the first and last acts were a riot, but the middle one...ouch..I felt so bad for the comedian. at least, the audience were civil enough to not heckle.

There are some things I will never become accustomed to:

whats this? human traffic on Oxford Street on a Monday

what time? 2 pm, well I never quite associated this time with being rush hour
