Well, we have a 'What were you doing before' thread and a 'What are you going to do after' thread, so it only makes sense to have a 'What are you doing now' one, too! This is assuming, of course, that you are all doing something else at the same time, which is often what I am doing. I'm always logged on here, and I refer to the forums every once in a while while I'm busy. This thread might very well flop, but it's worth a try!

Right now, I am taking a well-deserved break from obsessing with university to write a little.

Watching Kingdom Hospital DVDs

Playing Zuma in between having a play on the piano.

Zuma! I LOVE Zuma! I haven't played it in ages.... *scampers off to popcap.com*

Well I have had enough of it now! Off to get ready for bed. Worn out, enjoy your Zuma, it has defeated me!

I will! I'm having a great time! Sleep well

Daft old Henry is deciding never to partake of red wine before trying to post here ever again. And also I am trying to get some lines into my head. Why do I forget the same bits at almost every run-through? Then I shall make some toasted cheese. Perhaps I should post that in the "What will you do next" thread and post about how I went for a run earlier in the "What did you do before" thread!

Red wine AND toasted cheese?

Eeeuww! Someone's in for a bad night.....

I'm emptying the washing machine and making a start on the dishes.

*sigh*

No m'dear! The red wine was last night!

And what happened to make you regret the red wine - did you post something silly?

My spelling was very silly indeed!

Drinking mint hot chocolate with blue milk while considering the 3 lectures-worth of notes I need to write up and analysis questions I have to do before I can go to bed. (I have managed to get procrastination down to a fine art lol)

Feeling ill at the thought of blue milk

Feeling guilty about not having done my homework, and feeling like I really ought to go and tidy my room, organise all my books, and then get to bed.

I just went and took a picture of it to show you it in all its blueness, but stupid computer won't upload it.

Looking at my nose piercing and trying to decide if it looks as tacky and gross as most of my friends think all piercings are. I think I rather like it actually.

Eating a packet of Mini Smarties.

Eating grapes and drinking an Actimel - my breakfast...

Listening to Schoenberg's Peripetie on a loop and get more and more sick of it every time it plays

I think it looks good If you're happy with it, ignore the naysayers. Like you said - it's easy to fix if the novelty wears off!

Thanks. It nearly wasn't up to me whether or not to keep it yesterday when I caught it on my glasses and nearly yanked it out. Much pain, but it's perfectly fine now!

Anyway, I met up with my brother for a drink, and he immediately rang my mum, and told her - robbing me of a huge pleasure I was anticipating - seeing her face.

LOL! Never to do a bank robbery with your brother! Can't keep his trap shut it seems! Ouch @ the glasses... keep up the wound spray treatment!

I'm catching up with stuff on iPlayer at the mo

Thinking about having to go back to school in...oh...25 minutes

Wondering whether to go and move the cat, as it is making lots of noise near my Dad is working in his office. Problem is that it might be noisier for the time when I move it, as she likes making lots of noise...


And yawning!

Job-hunting...

What sort of jobs are you looking for?

I'm trying to learn some solo parts to songs, in the hopes of maybe getting a solo at gospel choir tonight.

Any jobs! But it's so hard to find something Hopefully I will soon... I've applied to Tesco, so hopefully they'll get back to me...

Good luck for the solos!

That's the right attitude It annoys me how many people dismiss doing, say, retail work because they think it is beneath them (ironically it tends to be the less academic who adopt this stance, in my experience)... Keep looking!

Oh, and to echo those sentiments, good luck with the solo, Lucy!

I agree also. If one more person says "well you're just a shop assistant I may end up sticking my scanner somewhere unpleasant! I actually love retail! Good luck Stephie, I'm sure with your attutude you'll find something soon

Thanks guys, good luck to you too Stephie, I don't see what's wrong with working in tesco. Actually here supermarkets are the most sought after jobs because, as students, we can get a job at the one nearest to us, and usually manage to just transfer to the one that's nearest to home, in the holidays.

Thanks guys! I've worked in retail before, so it really doesn't bother me at all. I'm just trying to save up for the extra £825 that I need for my oboe!

Have you applied to any Music shops? could be a good way to earn money and get a staff discount

I've asked, but none of them are looking at the moment. I'll keep trying though, because the jobs I've applied for are temporary for Christmas, so I'll need something else come January!

I've just realised that it looks like I meant that my oboe was ?825, which it isn't... it's actually ?2,825, but I'm getting a loan for the first ?2,000...

I am trying to write a Christmas list, but I'm failing.

eating a sandwich (corned beef)

Have to have a bit of vinegar on the corned beef or it's too dry!

No, no, no, no, no...salad cream!

Drinking tea and wondering if I might have a corned beef sandwich too......(there's one slice left).

Yuck! Picalilli (sp?) might work better.

Piccalilli I think would work just as well...

Installing a greenhouse. Quite pleasant task in the sunshine!

Singing... (Christmas carols...)

Half-listen to a boring conference call and hope that I don't miss my turn to speak

Listening to the television... I'm not sure I'm convinced by what is on at this point in the day!

Conference calls... ugh. We have a weekly one that no-one likes doing. I have to stop myself from doing anything else though, otherwise my auditory senses just shut off and I end up looking like a fool when I fail to respond!

Doing Biology homework - How and why giraffes have evolved long necks

I wouldn't like to be a giraffe with a sore throat....

As for why they have long necks, have you ever smelled a giraffe's rear end?

Thinking about what I want for dinner... I feel like a KFC, unhealthy as it may be...

which is precisely what happened to me just now Was trying to think what embarrassing CDs I own when I faintly heard something like my name but chose to ignore it. Luckily I didn't blurt out the CD names...

I am now watching 'Barbie and the Rockers'

The 'Embarrassing CDs' thread had sparked a sudden nostalgia in me...
