So Much For Lent

Yeah, I missed a day when I had solemnly resolved not to, but in my defense the computer seems to have come out in sympathy of the striking lecturers a couple of days early. So the possibility of a blog entry materialising yesterday was nulled by BSoDs, non-boots, flashing white hyphens, and people coming to the house and distracting me.

Still, as much as I want to tell you about a) JR and Hannah Tucker's attempts to best me at Mario Party, and b) our trip to Tesco with Tom in the evening, I have decided instead to discuss the impromptu visit of Sam Rees a couple of days prior, as I said I would on Facebook. If you're wondering about those other two things, a) they didn't, and b) he bought an extra-large pick 'n' mix and a copy of Nuts.

So Sam Rees spent Sunday night in our living room, and though I have gathered that he went to the pub quiz at the Cottage, I'm still unclear as to why he was down in the first place. He's gone back to Swansea now, as far as I'm aware, so it's not like he's finished for Easter or anything. Maybe he did just come down for the quiz.

I was surprised to see Sam in the house, as I think were we all. But we were all amiable to him - we haven't seen him in a while, and we all have our long, lonely nights spent longing for him to barge in and say something silly - with the exception of Pete.

Pete wandered into the living room at some small number a.m. and presumably saw Sam resting on the airbed. He was heard to exclaim, quite simply, "YOU!", before unleashing a lightning tirade of kung-fu pain upon his arch-nemesis. It took the combined strengths of myself, Sarah and Cliffey to peel him off, and as we dragged him back up to his room he cursed Sam to the last. Not everything he said was completely intelligible, but suffice it to say that the words 'vendetta', 'purge', and 'divine right' were all being thrown about.

This didn't actually happen, but I do distinctly remember mentioning that it would have been both cool and hilarious.

Joel.

P.S. In case you're wondering if our computer has recovered...no, it hasn't. I'm typing this in the Mac lab in uni.
