  Heiankyo Alien !

  Uh, level 37. That's only 7 away from 44! And it only took me 3.3 or so years. :>

  HuRRRR

  

  Up - 9
  Vertigo - 10

  I've finally finished applying to university; the week where I did all the work at once was probably the most stressed I've ever been. I've settled for a Maths/French joint-honour degree at Southampton, Cardiff, Exeter or Birmingham. I stilldon't know whether Maths is something I'd like to study though, so it wouldn't surprise me if I change my mind and take a gap year. The degree contains a one-year stay in France, though, which is very appealing, even though it's not that far away. That'd be an interesting period if I do decide to attend this course.

  King Crimson are starting to become one of my favourite bands (though in fairness it isn't as if my music discography is huge. >_>) after their final 70's album Red finally managed to sink in after a couple of listens. Their debut album, In The Court... is outstanding, but 'Starless' on Red is probably my favourite song by them; the juxtaposition of the song's mood is very interesting.

  And that's all I have to say in this dull time where I have nothing better to do. >:

  Huuuuuuur

  Some more movie ratings:

  Mulholland Drive: 10
  Big Trouble in Little China: 6
  Stalker: 10
  The Day The Earth Stood Still (original): 6
  Andrei Rublev: 10
  Fargo: 8
  Natural Born Killers: 4
  American Beauty: 10
  Burn After Reading: 8

  I've finally decided that next year I'll be attending Cardiff university to study Mathematics and French on a four-year joint honours course. I've still got a personal statement to write but hopefully by tonight the first draft will be completed. I've spent a lot of time wondering what I'd like to do, and I still don't know whether I've made the right choice; it's definitely the safe one, though.
  Making steady progress with guitar. Learnt three one-minute songs now and I'm starting to get the hang of playing chords without accidentally muting other strings. I just hope to God that Santa will bring me an electric guitar with an amplifier for Christmas.
  Me? I'm just fine and dandy. I had a horrible day of depression not too long ago but I'm over that. School is becoming more interesting, academics and social-wise, every day and I'm finally making progress through Shakespeare's King Lear which I should have read ages ago. Also, Ye Olde English a la Geoffrey Chaucer for the win. When I'm done with these school books I'll read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick as I absolutely adore its movie counterpart.

  And that's it I think. I don't know what else to type so I'll leave it there.
