I'm fairly happy this evening
Today's exam (physical maths) went better than expected and I've finally got my kite instructor's insurance papers - meaning I can start charging people for lessons. On the minus side, the number of people who want to spend two hours on a frozen beach at this time of year is, how shall I put this, zero. Roll on summer.

What's gone well or badly for you lately?

Alt Q: Most underrated or overrated musician (living or dead).

Percy Pigs
They are my nemesis. But they're so good.

Only fantastic memories.
I'm a proper sucker for nostalgia.

I don't think nostalgia is as good as it was

They are ace.
When I was a wee nipper my mum would buy a pack and me and my mate Rob would get one each (bloody one!) every hour or so if we were good. We were ridiculously happy every time that moment came.
Simpler times, simpler times.

Also I can't buy them now because I could do in a whole pack within about ten minutes. My body's a temple so gotta avoid that.

I got 78 out of 100 on my first ever assignment today.
But because I handed it in late (I still maintain that's not my fault) it's been marked down to 40. Tutor is a useless twat.

I've had a fabulous trip so far and am at Amberls consuming booze and junkfood.

going well: just remembered that my mates owe me money, solving some woes
Plus am excited about going out tonight now, only an hour and half left at work!

Bad: still officially a poor twat, just not so much of an indebted one. Also, been diagnosed with stress related condition today which just stressed me out even more.

Overrated: White Stripes

Underrated: Ida Maria

I'm currently getting revenge by randomly varying the volume of my music while they're trying to work.

I like to delight the majority of the senses, if possible.
Oh man, I don't think I've sounded so smooth and cool before? Did I sound cool and smooth to you? I think I sounded cool and smooth, wasn't too much was it? You don't mind? It's just that I don't normally come up with cool and smooth things.... hold up, I'm gonna ring my ma' and let her know that I'm smooth and cool.

Is 'Phsyical Maths' like the Krypton factor?
One of the sites I work on a kite surfing site, I donno anything about it but some of the videos look ace.
(, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 20:07, Reply)
Yeah, the videos tend to be good
They skip over the overcast days, the freezing conditions in winter, the crashes that leave you limping for weeks and the frustration of driving a hundred miles to find there's no wind.

Still, I do the land side of it rather than the water side so I get the bonus of going kite skiing which is pure win on a good day.

Edit: Physical maths looks sort of like this:

Hi Matt
Congrats on the paper works. It's been a long time coming.

You know what, I fucking hate it when people describe something as overrated. Not only are they saying they don't like something, but that people who do have some how got it wrong. The whole idea is concentrated arrogance...

I'll go for Johnny Cash who's spent most of his life and death being one or the other.
