It’s the three post-it notes in this photo that made me laugh so much. Over the switch to turn on the stove, one says ‘It’s f**ked’. One on a hob itself says ‘Yes, it really is’; the last is in a frying pan, with ‘Pretty Badly’ and an arrow pointing to a hole that has apparently been burned through the saucepan. I really hope it gets fixed soon!
Crazy Matt taught me a new way to tie shoelaces, which results in the same knot but is up to three times quicker to tie. I’m not usually one for Lifehacking – making everyday activities more efficient – but there’s something so satisfying about the method that I can’t stop using it.
I went bowling (£8, all you can bowl) with the Compscis, and as well as kicking ass (153 twice) this was waiting to greet me in the arcade. I was only aware that this had come out in Japan (which I now know to be wrong, but it only served to increase the surprise element), so of course, I had to play. I took on Martin, with myself playing as Blinky and he as Yoshi, who are stat clones of each other; as such, it was a pure test of skill. I maintain that my item button was a bit dodgy, but I still managed to place third, with Martin in fourth – and isn’t that what really matters?
On my way to Camcircus, managing to get lost again, I saw this rather cool mosaic in an underpass; there were four underpasses all done like this on both walls, so this is only a small fraction of it, but it’s all as good as this section.
The idea here was to have the tree framing the picture, but it didn’t come out quite how I was looking for.
Pav – which was very very good – was greatly increased in awesomeness by the porters forgetting to close the reading room.
Nothing like a Ceilidh on Burns’ Night. Even better is when your Physics supervisor is hosting it. You never know when a photo of your supervisor in a kilt might come in useful!
Not much, admittedly, but enough to give me a satisfyingly snow- crunchy walk into town for lectures (one of which ended up being cancelled, annoyingly, as we had to hang around for the second – though in the intervening hour we gatecrashed a first year maths lecture, which was just one tangent after another, and was sensationally interesting for it).
What a pun! For a good cause too. This is both big and clever, unlike yesterday’s photo, and brought a smile to my face just the same.
It’s not big, and it’s not even clever, but it still made me laugh. Spied on the desk in a Physics lecture theatre.
