Okay, how awesome is that? People getting together to do something entirely silly and mad that went perfectly to plan and left everybody happy. It should stand as a lesson to us all; have more pillow fights.

K's flight to Oz took off forty minutes ago. :( She's not getting there until 6:30 Sunday, Aussie time and, more importantly, we're not going to see her for another four months. ;_; It's a weird feeling knowing that while we meet Neurotic English Student tomorrow (to share the work I haven't done yet; remind me why we couldn't meet on Sunday again?) and have several meals and sleep *twice*, she'll still be on a plane. That flight is going to kill me when I go. Maybe I need to talk people into coming with me for backup and we can stop over in Dubai and nose at that six star hotel Roger likes so much. Apparently the fountain in the lobby is great, which is good since that's probably as far as we'd get before they kicked us out.

I'm stubbornly fighting off a very tempting -- and totally inexplicable, since I had a good hour of power nap earlier -- urge to just go to bed. I can't be this tired. I went to town for an hour today and that's it. Argh.

Guys downstairs are playing horrendous, *loud* music again with the dumbest thumping beat I've ever heard. They've also lost any good will I might have towards them when they complained to the porters the other night about the freshers making too much noise... even though they really weren't, they were only throwing a birthday-dinner-thing for one of the next door freshers. They have the damn cheek to complain about us when the amount of times I've sat here an endured rather than calling the porter at two, three am with their damn music! So, not any more. I just wish it was 11pm already so I could get the porter to shut off the damn music they're playing now which is giving *me* a headache through the floor, so I can't imagine what it's like for them. I swear they must be deaf.

Caught the whole pathetic snippet of the ice dancing that BBC showed earlier and um, the Italian couple getting such insane marks? Let me think; the *judges* wouldn't be Italian would they? However I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about skating and all I've got to go by is what my somewhat-negative commentators say on it, so maybe they were just that good. Controversial isn't quite a strong enough word for it according to the impression I was getting though. I think like the figure skating better. Maybe the original dance'll be better than this one.

Lots to do, work to avoid, guys downstairs to piss off... be back to catch up on comments in a little while.

I liked their exhibition but I dunno anything about skating, so...just my personal opinion :)

See that's just it; I got distracted so I only saw bits and pieces so I wasn't sure how good they were. I think my commentators overreacted though. They don't seme to like anyone. :)

Yeah the whole of the compulsories was a bit flat but it's the compulsories and it tends to be. I can kind of see why the Italians are in first because theirs was definitely the most flowing. Also, one of the judges probably will be Italian, but it'll only be one of them :)
