My iPod has Amnesia...

Its true. The stupid thing started stalling when I tried to select songs the other week. Then one day it froze up completely and subsequently wiped my entire song collection.
'Nooooooooo', I thought, 'how will I survive without my music collection?'

Ok as it turned out, but then I rebooted it the other day and now its working fine again. I have spent most of the evening gorging myself on 70s rock from Electric Light Orchestra, Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac. Ah the mysteries of machines. They are so random sometimes.

There are a lot of homeless people in manchester, and for some reason they all seem to congregate along Oxford Road and Wilmslow Road, and there's at least three who are commonly seen in Fallowfield, even though this is miles from the city centre. My point is that these are all student-y type areas. Clearly we must be a soft touch with homeless people and be more generous, its not like the rest of the city centre get asked for change at least 10 times a day. Last night, a tramp even asked me for some spare change in my dream. How scary is that? They have invaded my subconscious!

Oh and another thing. When is the flippin weather going to warm up? I have spent at least half of Feb and March being flaked in the face by snow which has never even come vaguely close to settling. But its been consistently cold, even though we are now well into March, when is the weather gonna warm. I don't care if it rains as long as its warm rain! On the upside, there is still some snow on the peaks in the distance, in looks very pretty on a clear day when you look out of the top of the tower. Ii will have to visit there someday again.

Ooo, ooo, has anyone ever played balderdash before? Its a game where you guess the meaning of a word or acronym or the plot of a film amongst definitions that the other contestants have made up. Had a hilarious time, some people used their definitions etc to take the mick out of others, and a reccuring theme involving political turmoil in Denmark cropped up. This doesn't sound as funny as it was, it was a great evening.

Oh yeah, its nearly the end of term already. Blimey! Unbelievable, it only seems a couple of weeks since the exams ended. And this is my last week in uni, next week I'm off on a field trip with my course. More of that when I next post I guess.
