Ergh. Feel so sick. Have a cold that has gotten progressively worse over the day. Took one hanky to uni. SO not enough for my nose-tap purposes. It's now wet-through and cold and gross. Ew ew ew. Oh well, it's all good. Radiohead tonight, so yay. Essay proposal due tomorrow... not so yay. But, ooh, the Mandevillian has arrived in the mail. Hmmm, what baby names have past pupils picked for their kids this time around that I can be amused at? I mean, it's just funny that they update the school magazine about these developments in the first place. Hmmmm, perusing, and it's pretty much standard. It's all Amelie Beatrice, Sophie Elizabeth, Sophia Mercede, Elizabeth Clara, Madeleine Rose, Juliet Mary, Georgia Sophie Jane, Chloe Patricia, Ned Thomas, Leo Lawson, Flynn Nicholas, Finn Thomas, blah blah blah. No Oscars or Maximillians this time. And only one Liam and one Jack... Anyway, I'm gonna name my daughter Dolly and my son Wilf, so who am I to judge?

All the teachers seem to be procreating big-time, too. Among them, bushwalking buddies the Ferdinands' had a baby (named Dane). Is Dane Ferdinands a funny name? What country was that Archduke from? I can't think. Anyway, OH MY GOD! That dark horse IT technician guy, you know, Mr Fisher of the speckled brown leather jacket, now has, like, THREE kids under the age of five and another one on the way! Dude that guy's been busy. And here were we all thinking he was sad and alone. Ah, IT man, we hardly knew ye. Jeez, things can really happen over five years, huh?

Haaahahahahahhaaaa! The school theme chosen by the Counsellors for this year is "Brave The Challenge, Live The Challenge". Ohmygod! Has it ever been possible to make up a good one of those? Ai ai ai!
