Who watches the Wedgeman?

Ah, good old the 'Random' category, it's saved me from pain and suffering many a time. Niftily. Well, I'm kinda done with university for the time being. For anyone who was unaware, I'm not leaving and will be here next year doing an MA in English. Should be awesome.

Towards the end of things, I was getting a little bored with having to go to lectures week after week, but I still enjoyed the seminars which is a good sign because I've got plenty more of those next year, hopefully with people who are as enthusiastic about the subjects being discussed as I am. So what have I been doing with my spare time? Well, I finally managed to catch up with Barny and have a quiet drink and discussion of all the stuff we've both been up to recently. It only took us about two years of living in the same city. I've also started watching Cowboy Bebop, which has been brilliant so far. Interesting one-shot episodes and hints at metaplot behind everything. I've also been writing again. Which is kinda nifty. I'm not sure quite if it will come to anything or not, but I suppose it's kinda good practice for later life. I'm fairly uncertain what exactly it is I'm doing. I might have to put a small bit of it up here and get some opinions. Keats believed that he needed to enter a sort of a dreamlike state, known as 'negative capability' in order to write his poetry and I think I'm mildly the same, actually. Or perhaps not in terms of dreamlikeness, but I do seem to need a bit of sleep-deprivation, a bit of random inspiration and a bit of mild depression. And metal. Metal seriously helps with just about everything, it's remarkable.

I guess I'm increasingly looking forward to this year being over. It's been fairly long and complicated and, well, I can't wait to see what will happen next year. What's that? Optimism for the future? Whatever next, eh?
