Stuart's Birthday

Tim and I celebrated our friend Stuart's 37th birthday this weekend. Drinks and appetizers and really loud dance music - his man Neil was a little under the weather and played hostess and maid for the food and the spills that occurred on the new 'its not acrylic its wool' rug. Alister, Nick, Jodie, Malcom, Martin and Robert in attendance...and some other random people showed up around 130am, but were not quite sure who they were. All in all - fab night. And, despite living here for almost 19 months, the accent after a few drinks mixed with slang still gets me at times, but that also makes for interesting conversation.

On the work end, when it rains it pours. Seminar one for the SCC is tomorrow (which, I am pretty well prepared for, it is just something else on the list), I am struggling with the first of 3 essays for this term's assessment, the dissertation proposal is due Tuesday, and I have just plain old regular homework to work on... ugh, all work and no play. Aw, I really need to stop bitching - didn't I just go out and have a fab time last night in the paragraph above? Damn!
