My "owners manual for the brain" came, and it looks really good. I also have the strange feeling that my life consists of falling through some invisible quicksand with a strangely variable frictional co-efficient. Sometimes I'm not where I'm supposed to be, other times I'm realy not sure how I got here at all.

Doesn't help that I've got some evil sniffle-virus.

Oh - and I finished the first Harry Potter book. I enjoyed the humour and the tension towards the end, and it was actually better than I thought it was going to be, but I think I enjoyed it more as an adult than I would as a child. And outside the realm of fiction, the whole concept is a piece of over-marketed crap :P

I would love to buy some more books, currently need to buy around 5 books for University each being £40 ;/

Wonder if the module leaders take a cut in recommending all these books? Always find it amusing when they recommend their own books ;)

Oh yeah - I bet if they don't actually take a cut, it's all about recommending your mates. The only plus point in them suggesting their own books is that you maybe get to see a really old picture of them on the cover. With sideburns and tweedy cardignas and so on :p

Just don't be tempted to get the Haynes manual for it. That "Re-assembly is the reverse of dismantling" stuff just doesn't work.

Hahah - a world of confusion in a single phrase. I'm almost totally convinced that Haynes manuals start changing the vehicle make in the pictures about half way through each procedure. But then I'm usually reading the wrong one - if I'm going through a phase of needing to repair my own car, I generally can't afford a new Haynes manual :)
