Hey guys... So, I know it's been a while (relatively), but I'm busy on my dissertation so you can excuse me. That's not all that's been going on though. Last night, keikofun and I played host to friends for a sushi buffet and general get together. Mixing copius amounts wine and beer was not a good idea, and for the first time in a long time time that should have been spent in bed was spent over a sink/toilet/bowl/carpet... Furthermore, I had my first classic hangover when I woke up, never had them before... age creeping up on me? So, today I've had some toast... and that's about it... Lesson here is: don't drink... or don't mix drinks... or don't mix sushi with wine and beer... Ah hell, it was fun, the after-effects are just something I could have done without.

Anyway, I'm on my third draft of my dissertation. The first draft consisted of primarily an argument focusing on my results, the second draft introduced supporting statistics, and with 13000 words, the third draft is seeking to increase readability, conciseness, and shave off irrelevant sections in an effort to drop some 3000 words (that's the length of a normal undergrad essay!) Hoping to finish by Wednesday, not sure if I'll make it, but it'll certainly be done by Friday.

Oh, and I've been spending a lot of time on Xbox Media Centre, the powerhouse behind my newly modded xbox. Oh, and Forza Motorsport. All I have to do now is swap out the Thompson DVD drive for a Philips and I can spend the time following my exams and prior to my holiday arsing around! :-D

I'll leave you with this:
