Preparations

Two weeks left at Blackburn and it's kinda sad. I've made a load of new friends and I can honestly say I've not really been this close to medics in my whole time at Uni. I'm really going to miss living in the House of Horrors and wandering about Blackburn. But I'm mainly going to miss stuff like going to Tesco with Rachel, comparing Yetunde to popstars, (not) playing Terry with Jordan and hearing Igor's phlegm wake me up.
But enough reminiscing - there's only 10 working days to get lots done!

Just worth noting that Gethin Jones got 39/40 for his waltz in Strictly Come Dancing yesterday - he was more gorgeous than I've ever seen. Having said that, I actually think Matt should win because his performances just seem better on the whole. I'm at the stage I get to in Reality shows where I realise how attached I've become and that I need to prepare myself to let the show go! Although I seriously do want to start ballroom dancing, I really do! Any takers?

My main dilemma this week is what to do about Christmas. The last 2 years I've bought "gifts" from oxfamunwrapped.com but I've read some opinion articles which have made me feel bad about this; i.e. that you shouldn't foist charity onto people. But I do still think that they are nice gifts and for the £5-£10 budget I have for each person, a lot more satisfying than some crap I've found on the high street. I need to decide what to do soon!

This week I have mostly been:

discovering:
Custard Apple Fruit/Sitaphal
Nintendo Wii
Rheumatology quirks
How not to flood the engine of your car by doing what an annoying neighbour says
How to play mobile phone companies off one another

listening to:
Girls Aloud - Tangled Up
Emma Bunton - A Girl Like Me
Darren Hayes - This Delicate Thing We've Made
Dubstar - Goodbye
Craig David - Slicker Than Your Average

watching:
Season 4 of Six Feet Under: I think this might be my favourite season, there are some great Ruth & Bettina stories.

YouTubing lots of:

Serebro - Dyshi
Serebro were Russia's Eurovision 2007 - but this video is just amazing and the song quite haunting. though I don't know what it's about so it might be about kittens or something.


Dannii Minogue vs Jason Nevins - Touch Me Like That
The wonder of Dannii's immobile forehead doesn't distract from the fact that this is pretty good.


D'Nash - Amanda
D'Nash were Spain's Eurovision 2007 entry (yep, another one), but they're kinda cute (ish)


Ordinary Boys - I Luv U
