I guess that’s some kind of irony, missing the meeting you were worrying about because you were worrying about it. Anyway, turned out to be okay, I had a separate meeting later in the day, sadly missing my second supervisor, but we’ve arranged some things for me to be doing over Christmas. Everything feels better now. I had some more fail when I got into the office, pouring orangina all over my desk, laptop and monitor. I now have a sticky escape key. Thankfully the adage of bad luck coming in threes doesn’t seem to have held true.. yet. I’ve just spent the rest of the day with a lack of sleep headache, which I should be rectifying now by sleeping, but I felt like writing something. Blogging is kind of addictive when you get into it.

Watched ‘Taken’ this evening, film about Liam Neeson’s daughter being kidnapped by people traffickers. It was.. alright I suppose. Entertaining enough, but the premise didn’t seem to make sense. I understand he’s seen a lot of terrible things in the world, but kids go on holiday all the time, he didn’t need to have an irrational fear of his daughter going to Paris. And then the horrible something that did happen seemed so unlikely, why would they get picked up by people traffickers from the airport, why would people traffickers take obviously rich and well connected young Americans? Surely that’s just asking for trouble. Maybe I’m over thinking this…

It did make me want to watch Love Actually though (Liam Neeson is in it..), I know it makes me a big ol’ girl, but I really do love that film. I actually paid real money for the soundtrack yesterday, as I realised I’d lost my copy, it makes me feel happy for some reason, not entirely sure why. Doesn’t evoke any particular memories. Which is probably a good thing at the moment to be honest.

Tomorrow is the Christmas Meal for Computing and I’m looking forward to it, me and Faisal are going to watch the lecturers in their natural habitat, propping up the bar. More than anything I am excited about the guild meetup on Saturday. I hope there is enough room for everyone in the house, Friday is going to be a day of shopping and tidying up I feel.
