So, you guys remember the ghost walk I mentioned in my last video entry? Well, it turns out that I won a prize in the quiz afterwards. A signed copy of the book that was used to come up with the tour. I got it today and it looks quite good actually. Maybe not a cover to cover read, but something I can dip into every now and then.
It’s freshers week (sorry, welcome week) at the university this week, so meeting up with friends I haven’t seen in ages. Earlier on at kareoke I had some random bloke tell me that he’d missed my version of The Time Warp over the last four month. Thought, but not said, was my reaction of ‘You really do need a life, you know that?’
Anyway it took me ages to get to sing my second song. And I was in a hurry as I wanted to get home to speak to Daphne. Finally got up. Was about 2 lines into the first verse when she phoned me. Bloody predictable.
Anyway, about the title. I’ve enrolled at the university to learn Chinese. (The title apparently says Hey there, folks. But this is through babelfish.) I decided that I wanted something to occupy my mind while I’m still signing on and have wanted to learn a second language for a while. After seeing that the uni didn’t offer any Italian courses (I’ve harboured for a while the dream of reading The Divine Comedy of Dante Alleghri in Italian and I think it’s an amazing, lyrical language) I chose Chinese. Why? A) it’ll be interesting and b) I wanna swear at people in Chinese. like this:
Besides, as the Monty Python crew once said:
Apart from that, all is well in my world. Still can’t wait for Daphne to get here (only 7 weeks to go, not that I’m counting or anything). Still miss her like crazy.
Coming soon may be a political entry, but we’ll see.
And with that, I’m out.
Will
