I just bought the video to Pink Bullets by The Shins from iTunes. It's the most moving, memorable thing I've seen in years. The lyrics are so well written, they make good poetry in their own right. I can't recommend it more strongly - and it's only £1.58 for the song and the video.
Is anyone actually reading this?

Exam update
The results came - passed three, failed one. Bizarrely enough, the one I failed was by far my strongest subject throughout the teaching and revision phases. In fact, I dropped 25% between the mock and the real thing! Equally odd was the result in Taxation, a paper I had never managed to pass in revision, where I gained 21%.
Still, I'm quite looking forward to retaking. With one paper to think about rather than four, I should be able to make a decent job of it this time.
Unfortunately, a more pressing matter is how drunk I got last night, and how awful I feel today. Some text messages were sent from my 'phone to certain people... I'll leave it at that, I think.

Back by popular demand
Forty-eight hours from now, I will be drunk. Whether it is bad drunk or good drunk depends on the SMS message I will receive at 1700 on Friday, revealing the results of my recent examinations. The possible consequences of these results range from unemployment to moderate wealth, so one could argue that they're fairly important.
This week, I have been mostly listening to The Shins, a great band. Other than that, work and exercise seem to dominate my life as always.
Last weekend I took the train to London, where discovered that it is indeed possible to travel without using the Northern Line. I visited Laura and Stuart, where I was treated to Dubbin' Up the Pieces by The Ashbrooke AllStars - a bizarre, early 90s remix of Pickin' Up the Pieces by the Average White Band, interspersed with Gaudete by Steeleye Span. Bizarre.
I then made my way to Green Park, meeting Neil, Elly, Chris and Claire for coffee. It's always good to see friends, especially those one doesn't often have the opportunity to visit. I must make more effort in future!
One last thing - Aston Villa 1-0 Birmingham City !!!!!!
