Nothing much.

apollaThe Tiffany (fake) bracelet I bought off eBay has been sent to my house, despite me asking for it to be sent to my uni address.
This is bad for a couple of reasons:
1. I really didn't need my mama to know that I spent £30 on a bracelet when I have, like, no money. Explaining it was a full hundred quid cheaper than the real thing and that I've wanted one of these for a very long time seemed to mollify her.
2. I really didn't need her to open it for me, ony for the tag of it to fall off cos the link wasn't squished enough.
3. It's 250 miles away and I want it now.
3b. She won't send it up to me. Ergo, I will not have it until I go home at some point.
Am very tired. Was so tired yesterday that I was asleep by eleven pm. I even missed some of the BBC 2 40th Birthday programme because of it. MAN ALIVE it ain't fair!
My pals all seem to find it very odd that I've not started revising the 300 terms I need to know for next week's Public Affairs exam. I would also find it a little worrying, were I not more interested in the Bond movies I rented today (Tomorrow Never Dies and the unofficial Never Say Never Again. Moonraker and Octopussy still out. When I get them I'll get Casino Royale as well, methinks. Then I'll have seen the bloody lot in the last month or so.)
Have also rented the Aristocats cos the special offer in Blockbuster was three (not new releases though) for a fiver and I couldn't find anything else I wanted to see. NAFFING HELL, can they not hurry up and release some good stuff?
ETA: Can not one person in Sunderland REWIND videos? I've rented dozens in the last month and hardly a one was rewound to the beginning. It is not Good Form.

Reviewing is something different really- you review a book or a film. But I don't know. You call them papers, we call them essays. Tomato, tomato. Let's call the whole thing off!

Something I remember from a Frederick Forsyth novel: "Supreme Head of Intelligence Targeting for Whitehall." In other words, the S.H.I.T. of Whitehall. :D
One last thought about the bracelet (poor you!) ... Mum won't *send* it to you? What are the chances that, when you do get home, *she* is wearing it?
**Hugs**
Think about having a great day. :)
