There's always one

Visible to anyone in the world

Sometimes you think there isn't going to be one, but inevitably there always is.  This one lasted until very nearly the end, but then at the last minute, just had to throw a little bit of arrogant, negative, and most definitely unnecessary prose into what was otherwise a busy, but thriving environment.

The drunk in the library.

The broken leg in the zombie apocalypse.

The drummer in the orchestra.

Whatever. 

I got my re-marked assignment back today from B3, woohoo!  From a bare pass to a distinction; I'm very happy.  Desperately hoping I did ok in the final one now, particularly as I didn't have the tutor comments from the previous one to reflect on at the time of submission.

I find it strange the way submission is used to mean 'handing in' an assignment, whilst otherwise meaning to submit to something.  I wonder too if 'handing in' will become a disused phrase in the future, and be replaced by 'mailing-in' or something similar.  Perhaps a 'web-submission'... I want a word that can be used like blog though.  I like 'blink' for 'web-link'.  I could submit using the eTMA blink.  Could I 'blink-in' an assignment?  I like the way that sounds.  It might even catch on.

I was feeling pretty irritated by the fly in the ointment earlier and found only one band that could cheer me up.  If anyone else needs a little lift...

It's funny - I'd never seen this video before, but this song always makes me do the funky chicken just like they do. 

Anyway, I reckon I'm feeling pretty happy now, and ready to get down to business!  I have a lot of work to do before the end of the month!  I was very foolish to waste yesterday away enjoying the sunshine, the beer, and my friends... foolish, but very happy.  I'll try to stay focused this afternoon.  Really, I will.

Ah yes, one of my less positive reactions to online bullshit, though remarkably restrained in using metaphor in place of obscenity. 

I see you have quite a thing for zombies!  They're pretty big in this house too, though not to the same extent.  Cheers for my 'big grin'!
