Back in Black

I know, another time without updates. I did plan on updating more, and a lot has happened in the past 11 days or so, but I just haven't had the energy to write about it. There was the time I almost got a speeding ticket after picking up Becky from Canada, and how I waited for a week fearing a letter from the government telling me they didn't like my driving style.

For anyone who thinks that driving fast is automatically dangerous, I refer you to Germany (where more than half the motorways have no speed limit and the motorway accident record is lower than England [wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn]).

I worked insanely hard on my dissertation proposal, which is about a mobile phone game in C#. I made a storyboard for my 3D Animation, and I have done a ton of 3D Animation as well. That brought me to my first Amazon purchase in ages. I bought a C# reference (my first ever textbook for University) and an external HDD (320GB, Western Digital).

As well as a wonderful (expensive) Chinese meal with Qian and going round to Weiwei's house a couple of times, I haven't been extremely active these past few days. I am having dinner with Laura tonight, which I am looking forward to. I have booked a restaurant and I'm dressing (semi)formally.

Natasha is here, she's back in England for 10 days or so and she's staying with me for a week(ish). It's been a very long time since she's been here and it's great catching up. She is using her laptop next to me now.

I finally found a suitable Halloween costume. I was planning (and have been planning for a year) to dress like Carlos, but I couldn't find a good enough coat. I did find something great for my new costume at Tescos yesterday. I look forward to making it.
