igorakineev)All in all a pretty quiet weekend. Was only me and Timmy in the flat though so that was to be expected.
Saturday Night - I left Timmy at home doing his essay and headed out with Andrew from my course, and his mates Tino and Dave. We headed to the Common Room on Devonshire Street to watch the Haye-Valuev fight. Only there and Bar:One were showing it. We had to queue up to get in because they were doing one in one out. Word had spread so all the men of Sheffield had desended and were in this queue, and those who didn't want to queue were stood on the pavement watching one of the screens through the window. Tino and Dave did that while me and Andy queued and went in just in time for the start of the fourth round. Once in we settled for sitting on the floor between some pool tables as no seats with a decent view of the screen were free. The fight wasn't the greatest I've ever seen but I still enjoyed it, I'm not sure if I like Haye's personality but can't doubt his boxing ability. He fought a smart fight unlike Hatton when he faced Mayweather or Pacquiao and his tactics were spot on. He always looked the better boxer in my eyes, Valuev relies too much on his insane size. Haye's sheer athleticism was amazing aswell. He was so much more ripped than Valuev, and hardly ever fights for the full 12 rounds so was obviously gassing out and absolutely knackered but still carried on. The final round sealed it as Haye absolutely dicked on Valuev so a deserved victory, and its nice to have a British Heavyweight Champion again. Either of the Klitschko brothers would absolutely murder him though.

stubbleupdate)I just finished Mad Men Season 3. It was great. Hopefully Schmevil will wander by so we can discuss it, since the only other person that I speak to who watches it is about 20 episodes behind me.
As a brief aside for myself, the next Reed Richards Explains will be about the Common Agricultural Policy, using #571 and The Farm. It's another scene that's just brilliant in the original form.
For work, I'm putting together posters about some of our core concepts.
I've got this for Rights and Responsibilities

I have been compiling a list of the words that the predictive text on my mobile doesn't have. On the list so far are: ambiance, ninja, and antlers.
I think there might be some more words but I can't remember what they are. So far the list has been in my head which is never a reliable place to keep things.
I've always said that I would like a job naming paints. I think the names you see in the Homebase catalogue and such are hilarious: dusky rose sunset, hint of terracotta, freedom green etc. I would like to add that I'd also like the job of naming staplers.
I was looking at heavy duty staplers today, such is my lot, and it turns out that a many staplers are named. Being heavy duty staplers, the kind of staplers that a manly man would use if he was stapling a girder to a chunk of rock, they have butch manly names. Like Odysseys! Mercury! Gladiator! And my personal favourite, Goliath!
Of course in the interest of equal opportunities, girlie staplers have names too, like Bambi.
I think I'd go with animal names for my staplers, like Cricket for those little, little ones you can get and Rhino or Orca for the bigger ones. If I was naming staplers after animals I think it would be nice to have them coloured with animal print. How cool would a snake skin stapler be?
I think it's time I got off this train of thought...

XVII (I do not love you...)
Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Excellent.
Last night was quiet. Me Timmy and Jonny headed down to the Frog & Parrot on Devonshire Street to watch a mate of mine from work do a gig there. He's a Scouser who does mainly acoustic and sings songs about West Street. A bit of a strange combination but he wasn't too bad. It was a shame though because no-one in the pub was paying any attention to him and the management had obviously intended him to be nothing more than backing music. Even his mates weren't totally paying attention and so after every song there was an awkward 2 second gap before one of them would notice and there would be this "spontaneous" applause and wooping.
Today I've tidied the flat and I am about to walk into town to buy a jumper/something warm because Sheffield is starting to get seriously cold, much more than home!
Tonight money's telling me not to go out (weekend prices aren't student friendly) so I'm going to the gym to get back into that because I had to stop so the hemorrhaging in my eye wouldn't get any worse. Also partly because I'm playing football on Sunday for Sheffield Parties which should be interesting, I've not played a competitive game for a team since I was about 15 or maybe even before though. I'll be a bit rusty but shouldn't be too bad, I'll tell them not to expect too much because I am known for crumbling under pressure in sport!
I finished my essay yesterday. Got everything I wanted to put in and finished on 2199 words. The upper limit is 2200 so I'm happy.

arnezeder)Helo! ...The amazing extent of my knowledge on Welsh. I was wondering if anyone could happen to help with a song I found - I'd be forever grateful. It's called "Pa Bryd y Deui Eto?" and I've not the foggiest what it means. I'd really love to know what it means! Ha. :( I can't seem to find a translation let alone lyrics anywhere. If anyone wants to give it a listen, I have it here.

myself)I'm fast approaching the end of the year.
From the start of the year, I have tried to embrace the philosophy of being a Traveller - Reminding myself that i am only a traveller, remaining only temporally at any place.
Every new people, that come across, is a new experience. Everything i'm experiencing now, is only for a temporal time. Nothing is permanent, nothing is forever.
Embrace impermanence.
One of my new year resolution was to travel to 3 different places this year. I have narrowly met fulfill the requirement, travelled to neighboring places outside this country.
I shall continue to explore next year.
Now that i have grown up, and have stepped into the "real(or unreal)" world, of corporate environment. I can sense that i am growing lazy.
I'm getting complacent. I'm feeling cosy sitting in my little cubicle, day-in-day-out, becoming fossilized, and forming routine, getting comfortable with routine!
I ... Hate.... It!
I must get out of this Corporate environment, this .. system soon. I still have that flame in me, that vision in my mind.. There is a place i must get to. Though i am not sure where exactly is that place, it's definitely not here.
But, here's the thing... the Prince of this World, have set up this chain, call the economy. If i don't work, i got no money, if i don't have money, i can't go anywhere!
That's the question, how can i afford to be a Traveller, to be able to walk to earth, care free.. living off my AirStream Trailer, waking up on a beautiful beach.. swim in the sea, drinking margarita looking at sun set.. and then write stuff for money (As if i can write)?
I love to be a Clinical Psychology, can that bring me to places? AirStream Trailer Traveling Counsellor? How about a Traveling Preacher, Evangelist, Motivational Speaker?
I got to think fast. I don't want to be the man in The Alchemist, selling Glass Ware.. always wanting to leave, soon he become old, and can't do it anymore.
If i don't do anything, it will just be another just talk, no action!
On one way, i think it's a good thing that i have a vision, a dream that i want to pursue.. not being contented on what i have?.. on the other, am i just day-dreaming, and lazy.. imagining that i am someone with GREAT things in the future, yet will never achieve it.. because i just want to escape the HARD work?
Cannot give up hope now, trusting that the Big Guy above have something good for me.
Must think.. Must think.

Sesame Street: Google celebrates 40 years of Big Bird and the gang |
Technology |
guardian.co.uk
It's somewhat shocking to discover from a Google Doodle that Sesame Street is 40 years old. The educational show created by the Children's Television Workshop certainly has legs, as they say, and Google has chosen to highlight the ones belonging to Big Bird rather than exploit Kermit, Bert and Ernie, Elmo or other likely candidates…
Well, that's true for the US and Canada, though your local version of Google may vary. There are different logos and different characters in different countries, as The Next Web has pointed out. And in the UK, where Sesame Street (as distinct from The Muppets) has not had the same cultural impact, Google has gone with Wallace and Gromit's 20th birthday instead.
Google's Sesame Street celebration is slightly early -- it should be on 10 November, when there will be an anniversary show featuring First Lady Michelle Obama, with or without Hula Hoop. There will also be a couple of books: Sesame Street: A Celebration of Forty Years of Life on the Street, and Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street.
When I was growing up in Canada in the early 1970s*, I almost never missed Sesame Street, and while Big Bird was never the best character, I enjoyed his jousts with Mr Hooper Hooper. In the UK, however, the series was considered too fast-paced and people frowned on its use of advertising techniques. Of course, a series made for disadvantaged inner-city kids also had lots of elements unfamiliar in suburban Surrey, or even Islington. And even the most brilliant of those early episodes would not pass through the Political Correctness barrier today.

Joke on my Penguin wrapper the other day:
What's black & white, black & white, black & white and black & white? A penguin rolling down the hill
The oldies are still the best :)
You know what the trouble with cornflakes is (are?)? They're not filling. I've had cornflakes for breakfast every day this week and by 9.15am I've been going, "Where's the rest of the food OMG!!!!" I think I might buy some porridge next time I go shopping.
The excitement never wanes in this journal does it? Crickey, whatever next? I might decide to change the kind of washing powder that I use, hold onto your hats people!

current mood: geeky
Me shouting at the telly during last night's episode of Flash Forward: "You can't trust him, he's a Cylon!" closely followed by, "Two by two, hands of blue!"
So many geeky references, so little time.
