I ran the British London 10K run on Sunday, and in spite of not really having done anywhere near enough training, I managed to run the whole thing through only stopping a couple of times in the middle, and once to drink some water. Feel so pleased that I managed it! It’s great the way the crowd carries you away so you end up running far further and faster than you thought you ever good. It was quite nice running in the rain oddly enough, nice and cooling.
Pretty good feeling when you cross the finish line with everybody cheering and the sun comes out for the first time in days, too.

Ok, so I guess I can see what Time are trying to do. It’s just, I guess, it seems like a bit of a cop-out.
Why You, why not Them?
And some might argue it’s just terribly predictable and others think maybe You just need a little more time…

I love the fact that so much of our universe is still a mystery, that we’ve not found out all there is to find out. As a little girl I was always disappointed that I couldn’t be a pirate or an adventurer and sail out and explore new lands, because everywhere was discovered already. These 13 things that are unexplainable make me feel excited about exploring again. I suppose it’s probably time to renew my New Scientist subscription again… just thought I’d share.

I try not to post random internet cool stuff on here, and I try and keep it serious and well… I admittedly don’t post very often. Alan Becker’s Animators vs Animation is so cool though I just have to show you all it!

Amazingness! It’s sunny for the first time in what feels like weeks and when I woke this morning and saw it I thought I might explode with happiness. Still absolutely freezing but nevermind.
I went to see a very interesting film called Tsotsi yesterday with Dalip. It’s an Acadamy award winner - the best foreign film of the year apparently, made in South Africa. It certainly was very good, and it was very strange hearing colloquial Afrikaans again, with all the slang I can remember using when I lived there. I could actually still understand it, which surprised me a great deal. It was mainly in Xhosa from what I can tell (which I only briefly studied for a year) but it often swapped to Afrikaans and sometimes English too. Oh yeah, and the music rocked.
We got our 3D modelling results back yesterday too, even more excitement! I’m very pleased with my grade of 83%, a nice strong A, but less pleased with the feedback. There were 1 word or 2 word comments on each section, and the 3 word comments made absolutely no sense.
What on earth does “Composition of 3D set: basic extensively discussed” mean? And why is he just seemingly marking us on talking about it, instead of the actual way I chose to compose it, and all the planning that went into it? It’s weird.
Another one is the conclusion: “Acceptable extensively conclusion” - anyone?

Am I ever going to have free time again, or am I constantly going to be assailed by these horrible pangs of guilt every time I try and do something which isn’t work?
Is life really just a treadmill, consisting of work and eating and sleeping, going round and round and round in circles forever and ever?
But what I really want to know is, how long can i survive on breakfast bars before I have to go shopping. It’s been a day so far, and I’m feeling pretty hungry. 3 boxes of the damn things left to go though.
Yeah yeah i should update with some stuff to do with serious things, but lets face it: nobody reads this anyway

Doodled something I liked enough to add a bit of colour to and this is it.

After a lot of rambling around I’ve finally installed good old wordpress. How jolly!
