Welcome back Dear Computer

First of all, the recent reticence is very much down to the fact that my computer died on me last Wednesday, and I have felt almost half naked ever since. Still, just less than a week without my laptop has helped me learn just how much time I waste on internet - it is quite crazy really and leads to yet another resolution with regards to turning my life around....

It was a lazy evening spent watching quite a lot of television. It was University Challenge as usual, followed by an interesting Documentary on Israel-Palestine and the Camp David accords. That was soon followed by a half-hour special documenting the announcement of the winner of the Booker prize, which went to The Sea by John Banville which was quite a bit of a shock really. It also marked the abject failure of my hopes to finish all six shortlisted books before the announcement - I had finished half of Barry's A Long Long Way.

Going back late yet again, I realized that I had hardly been back earlier than 10pm most evenings - living so far out there is a tendency to just hang around college so save making too many trips, but even then it seems to be a sign of how busy things have been.
