Java time.

I can't stick around, I'm sort of mid-battle with some Java Coursework. These have been some pretty crazy coursework times. I'll probably tell you all about it when its done.
I don't think I'm Gonna make CU, but other than that I have no idea how this is going to turn out. I had 3 hours sleep last night, and I'll probably be living on caffeine untill Thursday night.
Gotta Go! Bye!

Edit:
Did you know.... Redbull smells like how I remember cowpoll.
I think cowpoll tasted like strawberry sweets though.
 RedBull tastes like how cowpoll should taste.

And Oh, I nearly forgot. For all of you who were clinging on to my every word about that art comp, I did make the deadline. [link]
It's clearly not the best or anything, but I think it looks like a proper entry and that's what I was aiming for.
Mission Success.

War of the beverages

It's pretty late (because I'm trying to work. Trying.) and so I think my sense of rationality and stuff is a little bit skewed. Hence when I saw a poll on 'Tea or Coffee', I had a bit of a mini crisis.

Ever since I was little, I've always had an opinion on this matter.

I remember the days when I would have fervently argued for coffee, clearly being the greater drink. I couldn't understand how anyone could bring themselves to drink tea, it tasted so bad. Then one day (in the 6th form Common room) someone reminded me of a forgotten fact. Tea is the British English way. ( I can't really speak for Scot/Ire/Wale, because I don't know what you lot drink. But Sam the eagle has made me always want to say 'The British way', so I'm probably going to and that's probably final.)

Even when I was small and liked neither drink, I had heard that tea was the drink of the England. It had taken a little effort (from my lovely friend Joanne. Thanks mate.) to get me to start drinking coffee, so should I not give tea this same chance?

I (correctly) guessed that after about seven cups, tea should become a drinkable drink.

Though it was tough at first, I pushed through and became a drinker of tea.

There have been ups and downs, fluctuations in how much I preferred coffee but recently I feel I've reached that point where (If I'm making it myself, at Uni ) I would almost say I liked them equally. They're different drinks, they serve different purposes. Coffee can wake you up, make you feel slightly more alive at the book ends of the day. A more milky coffee is also a calming drink (although it doesn't wake you up.) Tea is a drink for relaxing. And those times when you just want to feel a little more English, or can't be bothered with a cafetiere.

Why should I choose between these two drinks? It's like choosing between two really good friends. Choosing coffee feels like I'm betraying my "English is the best way ever" part of me, but choosing tea just feels wrong.

If the war of the hot caffeine drinks ever comes, I guess this is one fight I'll have to sit out. When it's all over I'll come out of my cave supporting whichever team won while quietly morning about the loss of the other (and the destruction of so much civilisation.)

I feel like a deserter, but I don't even know which side I'm deserting.

 

Healthy eating

I have a very important message to tell everyone today. It starts with a story:

Once there was a person. Like most people, this person had to eat, but she was also fairly lazy and didn't like washing up. Often times she would eat pasta and rice and all sorts of ovenable bakable foodstuffs, but this was not what dietitians like to call a balenced diet. For although it was complete in the carbs/proteins/dairy, it was lacking  in the fruit and veg. Sometimes it would feel like it would be too much effort to put on an extra saucepan for carrots, and even more to wash it up afterwards. It's not like they would taste particularly good anyway. Healthy eating was for healty people with real cooking abilities, but do you know what?

This person was wrong.                  *que epic music*
Fruit and vegitables are an important part of daily eating, and they take no effort at all to cook. Shame on you if you cannot find the time whilst cooking your meal to put some peas on! They only take 4-5 mins.
If you're cooking anything in a saucepan, put your vegitables in with it! You don't even have to do any extra washing up. Rice and carrots, pasta and peas, this is the way to go. It even tastes good. I This Person did not know what she was missing. No longer is the basic meal pasta and cheese, now it is pasta, peas and cheese. Not only does this add alteration, but it also rhymes. What more could you want from a meal? Add some mushrooms, bacon and onion and it's not even pasta and cheese anymore.

Eat healthy people, you have absolutely no reason not to.

And yes, I am eating an apple right now.

Golden Syrup

Seriously, the work here never ends!
I was waiting the whole of last week to get to this week, and now this week comes and it turns out this week is going to be worse, and I have coursework (which I haven't started yet) due in tomorrow. That's tomorrow as in Tuesday the 9-6 when do I even have time to hand this stuff in tomorrow. I'm a gonna have ta take a pack-lunch or something.
On a different note, Chicken with ham and melted cheese inside it is pure awesome in taste. yes, I went shopping today, so now I have FOOD! I had kind of run out of food (except for pasta and rice and stuff, but it gets pretty boring on its own after a while) and breakfast cereal. Combined with the fact that having to cook you're own food takes effort, this meant that I had started not really eating so much. As in plain ol' pretty much not eating. Or at least only twice a day, but as a diabetic I'm aware that I'm really not supposed to do that. Sorry to everyone out there who tries to make me into a good little diabetic person. It didn't really work out like that last week.
And sorry for the lack of kindof crazy convo's ever here. I dunno what's up.
I was going to talk about how a good ol' tin of Lyles Golden Syrup would make a pretty good murder weapon in terms of discreteness, added to the fact that its rather heavy, but in reality it wouldn't really work. Its too stubby to get any good momentum when you went in for the swing, unless you had a handbag or something. In which case you might as well stuff it with rocks. Also although it doesn't look that unusual walking round with a tin of syrup, (compared to, say, a gun) its not the most discreet thing either. People might ask questions. Thus I conclude that a tin of golden syrup would only make a good murder weapon if it was spur of the moment, and you had a good handbag. Otherwise I would have to say that Mr Dahl had a pretty awesome idea with the frozen leg of lamb. Genius.
May I also say "Please don't kill anyone with Golden Syrup as an experiment, you'll make me feel bad."





Although apparently Golden Syrup would make a pretty good "weapon" if you can bring it to life.

(I feel really bad for calling it a 'weapon' now. T~T you can't call the toffee monster a weapon, its not his fault! He just wants to be loved!!!)
