"Caution: Contents tastes crap", "Attenzione: E Cattivo", "Attention: C'est merde"

First of all, the Superbowl was fantastic. A real joy to watch. I didn't pay much attention to the half time entertainment so I missed the 'Janet Jackson's b00bie' scandal.

Anyhow those who did watch it know how good it was, those who didn't probably didn't want to watch it so I won't go on about it.

I went into University this morning for counseling and to fetch my new timetable. Mercifully I have been granted no starts earlier than 12 noon - Huzzah! Lots of Sleep for me :)

The more time I spend in the new law building the more I love it. It has a 'modern building' feel to it throughout, with all those shiny metal finishings and white airy spaces. Today I found this incredible room, its very long and extremely open, roofed entirely in glass so there's masses of daylight pouring in with modern angular wooden chairs and tables. A place to eat, drink and share information, the ambiance is fantastic. Apart from the plastic blue floor it's perfect.

I purchased a croissant and a Latté. After I had finished both I resolved to buy a croissant from the little coffee stall as often as is possible and to never buy one of their coffees again. The froth looked and tasted like washing up liquid bubbles. Next time I shall order tea, as it is virtually impossible to balls up a cup of tea. Although to be safe I'll use the machine which pours out cups of PG tips in a coin-operated manner.

A view of this wonderful space is today's snapshot. Like last time I have a variety of other photos I have taken which didn't end up as the snapshot but they are all viewable in the archive.

Once again the Times crossword has defeated me. However now that I've started doing it I can make a copy of the Times stretch a whole 1 hour train journey without resorting to the football articles. Ah the fun-packed life I lead :)

I realized today that I still haven't bought the Sugar Ray album I meant to buy and also neglected to get a copy of the latest Steely Dan album. Admittedly the appeal of Steely Dan is that no matter how long it may have been since they started recording they sound exactly the same nowadays. A dozen songs about prostitutes, drunkards, outcasts and lechers - that's what a Steely Dan album is all about :)

Later

John
