Bits and Bobs

So this isn't the first time I've neglected this blog, but it's the first time I've had a legitimate reason. I've been working a full-time job and a part-time job, so time is at a premium.

So.

Firstly, a bit of bragging. Got my dissertation results in the mail the other day: distinction! Overall mark: distinction! Suffice it to say, I'm well chuffed.

Secondly, I've decided to participate in NaNoWriMo, which starts November 1. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in a month, disproving the writerly myth that one can never find time to finish a novel. Between my two jobs and trying to catch up with everyone stateside, I'm not sure I'll be finish, but I will give it a go.

Thirdly, I saw two license plates while out driving today that made me snort/roll my eyes. The first was on a big SUV and it said: TACKL U. I'll take that under advisement. The second was on a beat-up something-or-other driven by a guy who looked like he had gang aspirations. It said: POPE 14. Does he take his mother to church in that jalopy?

Fourthly, NUFC are doing very well so far this season. Yes, they have been relegated to the Championship League, but if they continue the way they are, they will back in the Premier League next season, where they belong. Hopefully by then they will lose those awful, awful away kits.

That's all for now; I'm tired.
