Amon Amarth: the best time it's possible to have in a room full of longhairs who disdain conditioner. I stood next a big fat dude, and he acted like a pavise, shielding me from the roil of elbows and knees. Great show, regardless. Incredible setlist. Victorious March? Fuck yes I want to hear Victorious March! Also Tim, we need to get drinking horns. And remember to write down our script notes for Lammasu Junior High!

Today's so hot that I've been playing bass-heavy songs all day just to feel the breeze from my subwoofer.

Anyone want to go see Asimo at Southbank next weekend? Free, I'm pretty sure. We could have drinks before and heckle the smug little robo-prick.

So in lieu of maths study, I made a lolcats macro of history's dreamiest physicist:
Now to force myself to remember how to solve nonhomogenous second-order linear differential equations. HOORAY! Then, no exams until Monday. Such remarkable freedom! Oh, bliss.

Story of my life: I had a maths assignment to finish for today, so I stayed up all night playing through Super Castlevania IV. If only I could solve differential equations as easily as I can slay Dracula's minions.

As a reward to myself for being so consistently wonderful, I've ordered Jay Bird's newest Shellac poster:
Isn't it just the ticket?

This past weekend I saw so many naked women that I've become asexual. A woman without her clothes may as well be a skilfully crafted grandfather clock.

So next week I will either die or transcend space and time completely:
Monday, multivariate calc assignment due;
Tuesday, applied mechanics exam;
Wednesday, linear algebra assignment due, Matlab assignment due, thermodynamics homework due;
Thursday, thermodynamics exam;
Friday, applied mechanics prac, MOTHERFUCKING MELBOURNE! Strippers, Sekt, and so much more. Sadly, I'll be taking along my maths text, for the Monday after brings yet another exam. If anyone has either a time machine or a cache of incredibly potent stimulants, do let me know!

For Carol, some exercises from my thermodynamics textbook:
"If all the human beings on our planet (4.5 x 10^9) were gently compacted into a cube, how large on a side would this meaty lot be?"
"Squeezable but incompressible Bubbles La Rue is innocently floating around the swimming pool when Zoran the Mean, who is skulking by the side of the pool, reaches over, pushes, and holds her underwater. Naturally, our dear Bubbles is frozen with surprise. From a thermodynamic point of view, how has his dastardly act affected the energy of the water?"
"Science News reports that a newcomer in our solar system, the newly discovered comet Shoemaker-Levy, passed too close to Jupiter, was trapped by Jupiter's gravitational field, and now cannot escape the planet's tug. In fact, astronomers calculate that on about July 22 1994, it will return and crash into Jupiter in a spectacular and fiery death, which could release energy equivalent to the combustion of 1 billion megatons of TNT. It is estimated that the comet has a diameter of 10km, a density of 5400kg/m^3, and should crash into Jupiter at 60km/s. Is Science News a British or American magazine?"

From a thermodynamics lecture at eight in the morning until I cleared everyone out of the law library at ten, a fourteen hour day. I need to develop a benzedrine habit or something, this is ridiculous.

Mobile's suffered a grave and terrible injury; will be uncontactable through it for a while!

AND A REMINDER: Wizard People, Dear Reader at my place this Friday, from about sixish.

Dear old Hampstead Road house is disintegrating, its constituent members scattering to the four corners of the city! So, in less than a month I will be homeless - don't suppose anyone needs a housemate?

Alright, sometime soon, we're going to get transcendentally stoned and watch Wizard People, Dear Reader. All welcome, etc.

Dessert party: a qualified success! Desserts were mostly delicious; Hate Engine's Dubai cigars were lovely; the traditional viewings of the "march of the peasants" in Triumph of the Will and that bit in Master and Commander where the one-armed kid leads a boarding party onto the Acheron - both warmly received. Police came, but it was carefully explained to them that the yelling was just an argument about whether Brigitte Nielsen was in fact Red Sonja. The knife fight went unmentioned; nobody pulled their gats! CIVILISED! Am so proud of everyone.

For the surprising number of my friends with fathers who've poached themselves a dusky foreign wife: Louis Theroux's show about buying a Thai bride. Parts one, two, three, four, five, and six.
If nothing else, it's a goldmine of lip-chewingly horrifying quotes:
"And she never gets a headache, even when she has a headache, if you get what I mean!"
"...I wish you hadn't said that."
And so on. God, I hate white people.
