Morning Mysteries 1 - 1 Scatman Dan
I woke up this morning to two mysteries:
1. Why had I set my alarm for 8:30am?
2. Why do I have a nose bleed?
I've solved the former: Claire needs to move her car (which is parked on double-yellows outside) or she'll get ticketed when the morning wardens come by (morning wardens? they're like traffic wardens, but … -

Typically Busy
[this post was lost during a server failure on 11 July 2004; it was partially-recovered on 13 October 2018]
Another couple of weeks of academic nightmare coming up, followed by the Easter Break (during which I'll be working, ho hum). I've got to do my second "poster session" presentation for my dissertation a week on Wednesday; … -
Manos: The Hands Of Fate
This is the worst movie I have ever seen. It is far, far worse, even, than Barb Wire.
It is truly abysmal. Awful filming, meaningless plot, impossible-to-understand ending, crap acting, discontinuity, shitty clipping... apparently three members of the cast committed suicide shortly after filming was completed. Almost none of the rest worked in film again.
Never, ever … -
And You Thought Adam Was Difficult When He Was Drunk…
Do you remember a few weeks ago, when Strokey Adam came around drunk? Well, it turns out it could have been a lot worse - see this news report about what drunken elephants can get up to [BBC].
My Internet: Architecture And Operation exam went well this morning. I could waffle on about Aggregatable Global Unicast … -

Almost Finished The New Troma Night Website
Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new Troma Night website (between bouts of revision). Should be ready within the next 12 hours. Fab.

Troma Night Website
I'm working (at long last) on updating the Troma Night website. Going OK so far, about a third of the way there. Am contemplating pulling a long, late night and seeing how much of it I can get done at once. Ideally I'll have it all sorted for next Troma Night, on Saturday - including …

Troma Night
[this post was damaged during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004, and it has not been possible to recover it]
[this post was partially recovered on 12 October 2018]
Troma Night last night was a success, as was the Troma Night WebCam (Alpha Test), through which Paul could participate, despite his unfortunate absence.
We watched three … -
Back In Aber! Christmas Update! (Got A Spare Quarter Hour To Read This?)
[this post was lost during a server failure on Sunday 11 July 2004; it was finally (partially) recovered on 12 October 2018]
As most of my fellow Aberites know, I've actually been back in Aberystwyth for a few days, but have been typically drunk (celebrating getting back, then celebrating Kit's engagement to Fiona, then celebrating New … -
Final Troma Night Of The Year
[this post was lost during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004; it was partially recovered on 21st March 2012]
And a good Troma Night it was, too. The usual people came - surprising how few of them had gone back to their families for Christmas, yet - although Liz didn't bring Tom, and, as … -
Last Troma of 2003
This repost was published in hindsight, on 23 March 2019.

TromaNight rolls to a close in 2003 with three excellent offerings. Tonari no Totoro, Pitch Black and Kiki Delivery Service. The first and last were excellent. Pitch Black was a good middle film without doubt - but perhaps easier to forget because the other … -
Something In The Water
[this post was lost during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004; it was partially recovered on 21st March 2012]
People keep getting together. Kate and Leu, Tom and Liz (now with a journal!), and now: Sian and Andy. Must be something in the water. The latter pair (and the one I most recently heard …
