I've watched all of the star wars prequels the past few days, the pain inside was rage in my soul, and that only leads to the dark side. I told myself I was training myself in the ways of the force by controlling my emotions but about halfway through the third film I became one with the force as I realised pride had clouded my judgement and had to go do something else. Star Wars has taught me so much, even the shitty ones.
It's been a pretty quiet week here in Falmouth, its been mostly just work and sleep and tings. Like everyone else, I've comletely run out of money so I'm surviving for the rest of the term on my cans of soup and ready noodles (just a week can't be that bad for me, right?) Two more essays to write and then it'll be HOLIDAY TIME! Seriously can't wait for this term break, it couldn't come soon enough. I made a list of things I'm going to do when I get back which made me think of a challenge: what are you looking forward to most about coming home to Swindon? I'm setting a limit of three cause I know how exciting Swindon is, people are likely to get carried away.
Mine are:
- Seeing the kittens again and thoroughly catching up with everyone
- Sleeping in a double bed
- Having dinner cooked for me
DAVID'S CHALLENGE (Something you like that nobody knows about):
I really like telling pointless lies to strangers I'll never see again on the train. It's such a fun hobby cause you have unlimited freedom and creative control, just don't get caught out or you will look like a tool. The trip between Falmouth and Swindon has really put my stamina to the test cause you can sit next to somebody and literally be stuck with them for 5 hours so whatever I say has to have some sort of continuity. I've told someone that I was going to Edinburgh to visit my fiance (that one followed a lot of difficult questions), I was moving house bit by bit by train from Looe to Exeter, I was going on an exchange trip to Spain etc. etc. After a while, I got quite good at it but there was one time where I fell down cause I told somebody I was a massive Simply Red fan and they were all like 'Really? Me too! What's your favourite album!?' Shit.
So that's my unknown interest, it's pretty embarrassing but it makes the time pass quicker.
For the record David, I don't think poetry is anything to be embarrassed by. I used to really like reading poetry but I haven't done it in ages, some of the best poetry I've ever found has been spoken word online (Anis Mojgani is my favourite). I'd never heard of Buddy Wakefield or Rudy Francisco till I read your blog so thanks.
FOOD CHALLENGE:
I made a pie which looked just like Finn from Adventure Time, I took a photo on my phone but it turns out I don't have the cable here with me. So I made you this on paint to illustrate what it looked like.
