Sweet release
Well I finally got the whole Torts II Coursework out of my way, handed that in at the Law Office today.
I actually took the time, this morning, to dress myself properly instead of just throwing on stuff and the result was pretty damn nice if you ask me. My mother has an incredible sense of style, she's Italian which is part of it but she also has fantastic talent for putting things together. When I was a kid people used to comment on how well dressed I was (of course she dressed me, apart from actually putting the clothes on me) and she endeavored to teach me how to dress well, which I do (although some people in colchester would disagree but then in the world of fashion Colchester is hardly Mecca) however this doesn't mean I actually bother to put any of that sense into practice most of the time.
Today however I actually set out what to wear and I felt great. Everything was coordinated, it was pretty damn slick if I do say so myself. I think what made the difference was the fact that I bothered to tuck my shirt in an wear a belt. Those two things my mother told me incessantly when I was growing up. Normally I don't because I have a reasonably small waist and my father's immensely broad shoulders so the shirts tend to make me look like I'm large.
(for the record, yes my father did look superb in 80's clothes thanks to those shoulders, in fact he was a bit of a fashion victim spending absurd amounts of money in milan and yogi yamomoto stores)
Anyhow, I think I might bother to put a bit more effort into how I dress again, it really does affect my mood and state of mind.
So anyhow I handed in my coursework and headed back home, enjoying London on the odd moments when my head was above street level thanks to my pre-dilection for the Tube.
I have spent most of today reading up on Criminal law and playing WWIIOL.
The Axis are giving us what can only be described as a hammering. See, at the start of the new map German High Command immediately issued "Red Alert" which means every Axis player and his sister stops what they are doing and gets online to kill us. At the same time Allied High Command said they were going to take a 2 week break from leading us and so most of the Allied forces are ineffective on larger scale operations. So not only are there 3 Axis for each Allied but there is also a huge power vacuum.
Not surprisingly we are getting slaughtered as once again we maintain our usage of the pitiful French equipment in the south. There's a reason France got overrun in the first months of the war, they lacked the speed with which to respond to the German Blitzkrieg and it shows in game as our accurately modeled armor just isn't fast enough to be remotely flexible against the German threat.
Right I have to now go and aid my Allied brothers and watch as the Free French get their asses kicked. Time for me to pick up the British side and reach officer class with them in anticipation of my units inevitable move back to Lend-Lease UK weapons :D
Later
