Winter has gone
Barely took any photos during my Easter break but have nevertheless a few that I will be uploading when I get the time to.

Yet another day I'd much rather be outside. Let the light from above shine upon my being. Let my hair take in every wavelength.
But here I am. Inside. Because a certain institution demands it.


We are all here
enjoying the day in each our way.

..and I in mine.

EDIT: I just found out I've been on flickr's Explore since mid March. My first Explore photo xD Rejoice.

Street Performing


Alright, here goes. A photo with an actual Person in the middle.

Also, my thursdays are a pain. Annoying timetabling.
More on that next post. Off to next class.

PS: I only recently realised my blog has no "Older/Newer Post" link. I'll get that done when I've figured what the bracket|tag|endbracket script is.

London Eye


I know this is a rather boring photo. Ground-up-shot-of-monument photo. But I figured I just wanted to do an update now so picked this.
(PS; For some reason Flickr's auto blog function isn't working, curious)

So, tried street photography more or less for the first time this weekend. I rarely ever/never take photos with people as the subject so I figured I should try it.. a lot of rather boring and horrible photos. Not a single one I liked at least. I'll pick one of the people-containing photos for my next blog update.

On the non-photographic side:
Semester two has started again. My timetable for this semester is a complete joke. I have a four day weekend; Sunday - Tuesday, every week. It's rather idiotic. But my solution so far is to move my work hours at the health centre to Tuesday and spending more time in the library. Hopefully that will keep me off lazing around doing nothing.
Also, get myself a part-time job with hours in the weekend through to Tuesday. (perhaps)

I've discovered a nifty little network belonging to my uni. An entrepreneurship network, holding workshops every Wednesday, today was on Social Enterprises, very interesting workshop, very educating. I think I might keep going to their weekly sessions.
Next week: Marketing in the Facebook Generation.

Something less societal and more personal; I've found a growing interest for jazz. I've gone from only liking two artists to discovering dozens of new artists and liking the larger portion of them. I seem to have weekly trips to this small vintage cd shop down at The Lanes with a large array of cds most for only £2-4 each. Great place. All I have to say.

I will then end this post, but not before:

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned.
[W.B. Yeats]

I used to know my 10 before counting to nine.
What happened? When did I stop counting?

Bring Me Light
The Lanes, Brighton, UK.
Showers of rain has been haunting this town for some days now. And I seem to see those reflective jackets more and more as well as the rain.

The rain is getting annoying. Someone needs to do something about it.
Proper constant rain is fine with me. That's just refreshing. But these short 10 minute intervals of showers are just annoying. The skies need to make up their mind.

Exams and assignments coming up next week.. and I still haven't gotten rid of my insomniac. This is bad. It's 5.41am right now and I've been up since a bit before 5am. My body is starting to feel the stress of this irregular sleep pattern. Time to go back to bed again; to lie awake for another hour or two.
No lectures today, so that's good.

PS: Whoever invented exams-after-Christmas-holiday is a(n) [insert obscene word of choice].

it must be said.
The most annoying passerby greeting that you can ever come across.
"Hey-how-are-you."
I'm not even going to put a question mark behind that because it's not even adressed as a question, it's not even said as a sentence. It's all one long word of a greeting.
No pauses in their steps, all you get is a quick smile and heyhowareyou, you manage to put across a 'hey' and if you're lucky, a quick smile back again, unless they already are five metres past you.
What's the point in even saying it if you're not going to stop and wait for an answer. At least do one of those two..

My suggestion? Take the word out of the English vernacular altogether. "Hi" should suffice if you're not asking a question anyway.

I've been fiddling a little around with this blogger and have found a few annoying points.
The "recents" code is only listing posts from the currently viewed post and back in time. It doesn't start the list from the first post. That's a bug by blogger.
Another thing is that there is no function to automatically retrieve the "Next" post from the archive. There is only a ‹BloggerPreviousItems› function. Meaning, you can only go back in time from a post, not forward.

Must..find..solutions.

EDIT: PS: added the word "Comment(s)" next to the post title and number of comments on the main page. Still haven't figured out the "Bookmark" link on the post pages. And I'm going to try to temporarily place a link to the first post instead of a next-post-link.

EDIT2: Wonder whether I'm legally obliged to have that blogger bar at the top that every single other Blogger owner seem to have to have.
