This title bears no relation to the contents of the blog


Guys, it’s been a disappointing week of blogging. We were doing so well for the last month or so. In fact, November was the best month of blogs since February 2010. Let’s make December awesome too?

I had a 3 day week last week. Well, I had stuff on everyday but I decided that Monday and Friday just weren’t worth the effort so yeah, that’s been nice.  This week coming up more than makes up for it though, Tuesday I have stuff from 9-4 with absolutely no break and Friday I have 9-5 with no break. Damn these lunch time lectures.

I started learning about the gastrointestinal system this week which, it is shit (pun most definitely intended). Who knew that there were so many cell types with complex mechanisms for secretion digestivey type stuff? Certainly not me.

So we got our secret Santa people this week, I think I have got quite an easy person, but as of yet I don’t know what to get them. I will turn my mind to it next week. Are you guys all doing it? Are you happy with the person you have?

I am also doing reddit secret Santa. These days reddit is an awesome thing, it helps to remember that there are nice people in the world still. Did any of you see the Love for Lucas thing the other day? It was so lovely. Anyway, I have decided to get my reddit secret Santa person a Troy and Abed in the Morning mug because they say they love Community, the mug came on Monday but it was smashed to fuck which sucked, they’re sending me a new one though and I am going to try and glue the broken one together and then keep it for myself, win fucking win.

On Saturday afternoon I hung out with Kerry for a bit. We went to Forbidden Planet and they sell really authentic looking wands for pretty much every character imaginable from Harry Potter. We also had hot chocolate which was lovely. The pantomime at the Hippodrome this year is Peter Pan, guess who Captain Hook is played by:

 I made a list of all the bands I had seen this year because I thought it might make and interesting blog topic. Turns out a big list of bands is actually pretty boring, who’d have thunk it? I did work out that I had seen Jim lockey ± the Solemn Sun a total of 6 times this year and Ben Marwood 4 times. I don’t know, but I think that means I’m doing it right. 

Oh, also tonight I watched the first Black Mirror thing on channel 4.Charlie Brooker produced it and it was actually quite funny, also very odd. If you have a spare hour this week it might be worth a watch.

Josh you said you had a Christmassy challenge in mind? Is it close enough to Christmas to do it yet? I also have quite a good Christmas challenge which I will set you all next week if I remember.
David, I saw this the other day and thought you might like it because it is kind of science and singing. You may already have seen it though:


Juliet, fuck Scotland.
