I found the COOLEST Christmas present for someone today. I am so chuffed about this it's not even funny.

I love when that happens, when you find something that you know is perfect. I can't wait 'till Christmas so I can find out if I'm as spot-on about this gift as I think I am.

No more classes for this semester. After our last class, Mark, Maya, Candy (older Candy. I cannot believe I know two people named Candy), Randy and I went to the Backlot (student pub), where I was pleasantly surprised to find that they have started to stock Rickard's Red beer, which is my very very favorite beer. Also, there was a professor in there who had a bottle of my favorite scotch, and was sharing it out to anyone who wanted some, so I had a dram of that. Yum.

Maya and I then retired to my place, where we ordered in far too much pizza (I am going to be eating pizza for at least two days) and watched 'Bedazzled', which I hadn't seen before. I don't think it was Brendan Fraser's best movie - I found 'George of the Jungle' much, much funnier. The ending of 'Bedazzled' was a little too much 'let me hit you over the head with the Bat of Subtle Morality' for my liking.

I am not going to do anything academic tonight. I shall sit on my bed. I shall listen to music. I will read my new Bill Bryson book. (I love Bill Bryson books). If I am feeling particularly wild and crazy, I may have a bath.

Actually, I think I'm more likely to just go to sleep. 'Night all. Love you.

"A Short History of Nearly Everything". I'm not enjoying nearly as much as I did "Notes From a Small Island", "Notes From a Big Country", or "Neither Here Nor There", though. It's a different subject matter.

However, while it wasn't what I was expecting (which might have something to do with the enjoyment level - when I bought it I was looking for something specific), it is an excellent book for what it is, which is Nearly Every Scientific Theory Ever turned into understandable, conversational English rather than extremely formal technical English.
