So here I was at 2am trying to write. Of course I decided to procrastinate and viola! I found a new obssession (besides King Julien)!

Creature Comforts is a creation from Aardman and it’s a doco-style series that features all sorts of animals talking about an array of subjects. It’s British humour and I just LOVE it. It’s all this claymation stuff which really tickles my fancy. I’ve made a vow the DVD in good time!

I’m facing reality here. That’s a lot of work due in less than a month.

I’m brimming with intensity, I’m stressed, I’m shaken…

I’m guessing this is my “Welcome to academic life!” party.

I love it!
