The Exec Bar Crawl didn't happen tonight - some of the Execs couldn't make it. :( But we've rescheduled it to a Friday, which is alright.

Tomorrow we're having a corridor night in with pizza and films. Should be fun.

So, back to the drunk girl in your bed...

Is there potential there? Or are you in the friend zone having played the nice "I'll just sleep on the floor" guy?

Alas, no potential there. She's going out with a guy at the other end of the corridor, so it's the friend zone for me.

It's not so bad being friends.

True, friends ain't bad. She's going out with a guy at the other end of the corridor, anyway.

And she's a Scouser. Personally, I think I've got off rather lightly. ;)

Scouser?

Maybe?

*shrug*

Indeed. One gold star for Speccy! :D

Not much has happened tonight. I've got a multicoloured face from toner, but that's about it. Oh, and the carpet in the corridor outside my room is multicoloured. As is the hair of the guy next door.

This morning I handed in my first piece of work, and this afternoon I handed in my next five. Fun...

Having some printer issues, Lenny?

Btw, Top Gear is the best car show ever. Been watching it for years.

Kinda. It prints fine, and technically isn't broken... it's just that anything that uses the black toner comes out streaky. I've had a brief look (hence the toner everywhere - I've just found some in my own hair, too, and my glasses have a blueish tint), and I think that there's some rubbish on the black roller. The three colours come out fine, which suggests its not the main roller or any of the rollers the paper is in contact with, so I'm concluding that it's the black roller. Even if it isn't, it'll give me a chance to clean the printer - there seems to be toner marks everywhere. I think the waste toner pipe might have a small leak.

I've got some newspaper to lay everything out on, so when I get down to it after my lectures tomorrow I should be able to do it without getting stuff on the carpet again.

There you go Lenny, no more discounts possibly for happy hour :p. Go lobby against it.

They're going to ban drinking games?!?!

Doesn't bother me - student bars don't have happy hours, as they're cheap all year round, and it's going to be impossible to enforce a ban on dirnking games.

This amused me:

It's not the low prices which make for more drinking, it's the fact that most of the scrags get £20 pocket money a week.

Anyway, we were going to watch Quantum of Solace at the local cinema tonight, but we discovered that it's only showing it on Monday and Tuesday (with Tuesday being the last day), and none of us can make either day. So instead we stayed in and watched: The Last King of Scotland, Alien, some episodes of the Mighty Boosh, and the latest episode of Have I Got News For You.

Quite a good night, actually.

I think I'm starting to fall for one of the girls on the corridor, too. It's quite... interesting. I'm intrigued as to how it happened, and what might come of it. Maybe I'll be able to put my diary to good use at last! :D

New game! For every minute someone doesn't enforce the ban, take a shot!

Ooo, romantic revelations in the life of a Smurf.

Maybe. Maybe not. It awaits to be seen. Hopefully - this Smurf is overdue for some lovin'.

Played at the SCA Jazz Night with Big Band tonight. As a band we played well. As a Big band we didn't.

Pub quiz we came joint fourth out of seven. S'alright, I s'pose.

Alas, I haven't updated for quite a while. So now I shall. :)

Everything is gravy. We're still bonding well as a corridor group (I don't think there is any other corridor that hasn't split down into groups of three or four - we're still a group of fourteen!), and regularly have nights in/out together - Saturday's are now Film Night, Sunday is Pub Quiz and Top Gear night, and every other night is a do something night. Next Friday we're having a corridor Christmas party, and on Wednesday we're going out on some form of Bar Crawl.

Ooooh, the best news - last night we won the Pub Quiz! :D Our team, Charlotte's Pants: They Contain Nuts (named after a, ahem, girl on the corridor) got 32 out of 52 questions right, tied with another team, and smashed them in the tie break question. :) Well, I say smashed, they were 108 years out, and we were 57 years out (the question was: In which year was toilet paper invented? We handed our answer in written on a piece of toilet paper, too!).

Do't think there's much else to add. I've spent quite a bit of time this weekend in Corridor Girls vicinity, slept nowhere near as long as I should have done, and generally had a fantastic time.

I'm going to miss it when term finishes on the 17th, and will be very glad to be back on January 18th. I've got a week and a half until then, though, and I plan on making the most of it. ;)

Last night was an interesting night - I was made to drink!

Well, I say made... a couple of people bought me a rather large bottle of Smirnoff Ice, and a few other people bought me a number of double Malibu and Lemonadey things, and I drank them (bad manners to refuse free alcohol)... and nothing happened. It had no effect at all! Not even a little bit. I was disappointed. The M&L tasted like swimming bath water after a while and everything! No hangover, either.

I'm starting to think that being drunk is a game drinkers play on non-drinkers to make us feel like we're missing out on something.

My friends enjoy getting me drunk. I think it's a game for them since I so rarely drink much. :T
