The Beast
I've now recovered from my Quiz-making Procrastination, and have moved onto writing expressive entries into my weblog... you lucky people you!

I began rereading the entries at the Ringbearer New Zealand Diary, the other day, and its brought the whole experience back into sharp focus. I've begun to remember some of the tiny details of our journey, and just start randomly laughing...

Today, while listening to a Beatles CD, I heard "Yesterday" and started thinking of all the crazy songs we used to sing in Bill, while hurtling across the NZ countryside. Paul McCartney (legend) crooning the tunes, while four enthusiastic tourists tried to supply vocal assistance to the dodgy recording.

I kept listening to the CD, and almost fell out of my chair when I heard "Yellow Submarine"... I think it was one of the only things that got me across that godforsaken mountain. Marching along, singing along with Damien...
"In the land, where I was born, lived a man, who sailed the seas..."
SAILED THE SEAS!
I think we must have sung this song, (with lyrical substitution) for over an hour... stomping through puddles, and wading through the mud. I'm still yet to discover what Damien wanted with an Unholy army of Cats, and I guess I'll never know now.

And then, only yesterday, I was driving through the countryside, when I found one of the tapes that we used to play in the car. It brought back so many tiny fragments of memories that if I closed my eyes, it would feel like I'd be back there. Of course, I didn't close my eyes, as I was driving... but I still felt the wave of nostalgia sweep over me.

I guess I really miss our time that we spent together, and cant wait til I can travel again. In fact, I'm seriously considering running away to the UK right now, and blowing off this stupid Graphics Prac that I'm trying to finish. I know I'll never do it, as it would also mean that I wouldn't be able to finish my awesome thesis topic, nor graduate at the end of the year... however, the thought itself is very entertaining.

These holidays have been absolutely useless as far as work goes. I got none of my project research done, none of my Prolog Assignment done, and none of my Advanced Digital Com's assignment done. BASTARD.

In fact, the only thing I did manage to do, was acquire more work to do. I now have 2 extra web sites to maintain, and a broken computer that I need to fix, and recover from the overwhelming desire to kick the bloody thing across the room.

In any case... I think I'll go back, and try to persuade my program to work. Its due Friday, and I've only got about 2/9ths of it done. Not fun.

I predict lots of late nights, and a strong caffeine dependance
