the Dalaverse

Instead of a tedious linear update, I give you: random factoids.

--my Historical Archaeology/Archaeology of Britain 2 tutor is named Dr. Jones. For serious.

--after several trips to Sainsbury's, am now equipped with such necessary articles as orange juice, white cheddar, bread, Jaffa cakes, three kids of breakfast bar, and laundry detergent

--consequently, I figured out the laundry machines today, only experiencing one moment of panic when I thought I'd mistakenly put dirty clothes and liquid detergent in the dryer (the washers have windows and the dryers do not. W. T. F?). Laundry consisted almost entirely of socks, underwear, and jeans; the latter is due to a habit of sitting outside at the Turf

--on Quiz Night at the Turf (we finished 7 out of 13, which is solidly middling), one of the questions was 'What was the name of the dog in Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men In a Boat?' I put Cyril and thus got the question entirely wrong, but no one else had any clue, and I did guess the lyrics to "Starman" correctly

--I was nearly murdered by pigeons while climbing the Saxon Tower

--The Pitt Rivers Museum is like poking around in the attic of an eccentric Victorian with anthropology lust

--"The Big Lebowski" is extremely funny, especially if you are inebriated

--the public library does not appear to have any Jack Davenport movies I haven't seen, at least on VHS, but I will make a closer inspection at a later date

--the single best card in Cranium is the one which requires you to act out the phrase "sex kitten" ("Kitty hump" was the closest answer before the time ran out)

--St. Peter's has the worst food in the history of everything ever

--TWoP is a poor substitute for real television

--one should be allowed to climb trees in public parks

--cobblestones are bad for the heels of high-heeled shoes

--I really cannot function, in an academic fashion, without a laptop, so I will begin begging my parents to bring me the absolute cheapest model available when they come in February

--I have not fallen in love with any British boys. That is all I will say about that, for now.

--I've been uploading the pictures taken so far to Photobucket, and will link to that account soon for your amusement and pleasure


So. Anything new and exciting? Eh?
