Monday? More like bumday.

I'm going to see The Avengers with Harry and Tom in a minute. It starts at 9 so won't finish until late so I might not be home before midnight. Therefore, as much as I hate them, this place holder blog is a necessity. I will do a proper run down of my week in the early hours of Monday morning.

Actual Blog
I must apologise for my empty promise of updating this post as soon as I got in last night. I wasn't home until about half 1 and by then it just seemed too late to be doing things. But hey, let’s start this shit up now.

Juliet, Holly was beautiful. I have many happy memories of times at your house, she was oh so lovely and will be sadly missed.

So my dog died on Monday too. Not a good week to be a dog eh? We got Milly when I was 4 and going to get her is one of my very earliest memories, she kept trying to untie my shoelaces with her little puppy teeth. My entire life has been so tightly wrapped up with hers and the thought of her not being here anymore is basically unimaginable. I couldn’t have loved her more; I just hope she had the happiest possible life. Damn. Here is a picture I took just before going back to uni after Easter, she is wearing sunglasses because she is a boss:


The whole death of Milly has overshadowed my week. I ended missing all but one day of lectures. It was ok though because this week was a bit of a doss anyway and was all stuff that doesn’t really count.

I came home on Friday because I was meant to be playing cricket on Saturday. The weather was mighty shitty all week though so I got a text early Friday evening telling me cricket was cancelled. As much as that sucked it did mean that going to the pub could become a much merrier affair. When we were sitting in the pub, out of the blue, David just turned up and no one was even expecting it. That was pretty awesome and I had such a nice time.

So on to last night. Harry, Tom and me went to see The Avengers. Harry and Tom had already seen it but it was new to me. We slightly messed up and ended up having to see it in 3D which was kind of annoying. The film itself was really really cool, but I couldn’t help but think that the Hulk would have been fine on his own and the others just got in his way. I also fucking hate Captain America; his only real super power is being overly moral about things. But yeah, awesome film and I really want to see all the other Marvel films now.

I voted in a referendum this week to decide whether Bristol should have an elected mayor. I didn’t follow the campaigns much but the day before I read the leaflets we got from the yes and no people and basically I couldn’t see any real advantage that a mayor would have over a council leader. When you combine that with the estimated cost of £400,000 for a mayoral election it seemed like a silly idea to have one. I therefore voted no but the rest of Bristol (well 24% of them) seemed to disagree and so now I have to go vote again in September for something I don’t even think we should have but oh well, c’est la vie. Talking of politics and France, what are your thoughts on Francois Hollande being their president?

Oh, nearly forgot the bands thing. David, I have listened to as many bands as possible from your list and have found 2 new bands that I would definitely like to see. They are Straight Lines and My First Tooth. I haven’t gone through your whole list yet so there will probably be a few more to add.

I’m sorry this is such a big wall of text with nothing else interesting but what are you going to do.

I’m home again next weekend so let me know if you’re around!
