I feel sullied and unusual

You know (Well. You probably don't actually.) how I watch a chosen DVD collection of mine over and over again during folio week? Well, my chosen play/repeat DVD set for this Semester's folio week was Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest.
"Mr Gibbs, I feel sullied and unusual..."
is possibly my favourite line from Dead Man's Chest, although I'm not sure. It was however definitely the most appropriate one to sum up the whole folio week experience.
And how did it go? Well, well enough I suppose. My model was... well. I daresay that it may cause blindness, it is just that ugly. Which is a cause for concern for me. Oh, and watching Pirates of the Caribbean over and over didn't help ease the ache in my mushy fangirl heart that comes from STILL having not seen At World's End. As a result, I won't be reading my friends page (properly) or er, using THE INTERWEB until I have seen it, because damn it I've been diligently spoiler free for over a year now, damned if I'm going to let Folio Week open the gate to spoilers.
I didn't see it this weekend because I have a grand total of three dollars in my bank account at the moment. Tragedy of tragedies, I know. This is because folio cost me like 250 fucking dollars. That word being used for stressing the point here rather than implying anything else. >:( That is my look of disapproval.
So er, I won't be around much. OH RIGHT

I had a question for everyone.
Can anyone download past exams from the library at the moment? Because I can't download the past exams for my history unit (ARCT 2210 if you're intrigued, which I doubt), and this makes me a sad panda. Should I just call the uni and have a cry at them, or something? I don't know. I would really like it if things would just work, or if teachers would just do their job. Yeah. I really hope those SURF sheets are anonymous, you know?

I just downloaded a pile of awesome addons for Firefox. I love Firefox.
Um.
That's all.
Oh I caught Dialga. Sweet. I called it Tempest, because Maelstrom was too long. I'm not sure it's the right name for it yet though. And it doesn't fit with my trend of naming them all after appropriately linked gods/mythological creatures. Or stuff that's just linked to their name. Yes. Like my Empoleon is called Admiral and my Staraptor (Starmie) is called Celeste. Celeste as in Celestial. Yes. My Rapidash is called Epona, not only named after Epona from Legend of Zelda, but there was also a Celtic goddess called Epona. She was also a horse, so yay. Golem is called Tecton as in Tectonic, Luxray is called Sphinx, which was kind of a play on Shinx and it's catlike appearance. It's not really linked but it'll do. I did have an Alakazam which I called Mavia, named after a Greek goddess of dreams (minor deity), but she's been ditched now in favour of Dialga. I never liked the Abra-Kadabra-Alakazam chain anyway, it was just there because I needed a psychic to balance out my team. Now I have slightly too much Steel, but that's okay. Dialga is pretty badass so it'll make up for it.

Right I'm going to study now. Shhhhhhhh.

Sullied isn't that kind of dirty by the way.

Epiphany Machine

So, I've decided to answer the question Would you agree that the long-term consequences of the black death were more positive than negative? Why, or why not? for history

I love it, opinion questions! Ah, can you ask any more than an exam that A) you get all the questions for more than 2 weeks before the exam, as they appear in the exam, B) Has about 3 questions that ask you about your opinion?

But, I don't really know how I'm going to argue. On the one hand, directly after the immediate aftermath of the Plague, there was a period of prosperity for the peasantry (and women, who could actually get jobs and own things, but once the nobility got back on their feet that basically returned to normal, although there was more government, as in parliament, I guess. Hmm. So the point is, I don't know how I'm going to argue. However, I will have figured that out by "the end of the day" (when I stop studying and cave in to my recently renewed Age of Empires addiction), via the warm, glowing, warming glow that is WebCT and a lecture timetable with comprehensive titles, but I'd still like some outside opinions, because who doesn't love a discussion about the Black Death?! Honestly, people. Don't think about catching the Black Death though, because then I will get a less positive response to that question. :P

In other news, I can't wait for exams to be over, even though I actually adore both of the remaining subjects. Two weeks with three exams is too long.

Hahah, I am going to fail at NaNoWriMo. So badly. I have no idea where anything is going. A pity.

Gavin's all finished now O_o ooh, exciting ('sept he'll be in Bunbury soon *weeps*)
