Nearly (the end of term)

I am absolutely busting to break up and finish with teaching for the summer. The last stretch is crucifying, though admittedly, I have slipped into neutral and free wheel the last couple of weeks. No point getting stressed out. Actually, I have got a little bliase around the classroom. Especially when I find out our boss has lost money on us working here. How is that possible? I hear doth cry? Believe me, in this swamp anything is possible.

Here's an odd one. A falang here, who I had just met, got the shit kicked out of him by four soldiers outside the Swan pub. 200 stitches in his face and his nose destroyed, as a co-worker put it. Anyway, our sweet and dotty manager put the word out he was in a bike accident. Not 24 hours later the truth comes out. Why, I asked my assistant Phit, did they say it was a bike accident. Since then, the news has spread all over the region. Gee thinks the soldiers were paid by a dissed girlfriend, and the only reason they didn't kill him, as is normal in these parts, was because he is a falang. The guy got the next train out of town, without his nose.

Games and movies galour being DL'd including; Jospeh Campell Mythos (influenced Lucus on Star Bores), Bill Bailey, Meet the Ancestors, Life after People.

Garden is looking very cool and the girls are doing well.

Really for the holidays I want to get happy and have some vid and game time at home for a while.

Had a fun night with Tom last Saturday. We got wasted on Guinness and happiness and watched Fry and Laurie and QI. Very fun.

Enjoying a return trip to Crysis and Warhead which is a great blast in the Korean jungle. What with Bioshock 2 arriving, I can't keep pace. Karl mentioned he wants to get a PC like mine and get gaming. I am anticipating some Command & Conquor virtual battles over the net. My Tesla coils have remained standing useless for far too long.

Dreaded English camps coming up ruining my weekend. I will be sure to take a back seat out by the trees and take it very easy in, what is now, a long, hot summer.
