I just finished an EPIC shift at work. Well, not so epic as it was only 11 and a half hours. Anyway, the funny part.

My Mum was just telling me about what Oscar has been doing today. For those who are unsure, this is Oscar:

He's an old cat. He has an arthritic hip and is fed steroids to combat a snotty nose that gets inflamed. Because of his hip, he cant jump very high at all, but has incredibly strong front paws/arms.

This morning he was seen in the garden eating a bird. It is unlikely that he killed it. It was most probably this beast, Ziggy:

Anyway, he ate it. It was apparently revolting. I didn't see the deed as i was at work, but i was told it was gross.

He then went on to eat his cat food for the morning.

Later on, he jumped into the chicken run with the chickens. Something he NEVER does. He then proceeded to barf quite violently. As he did this, all the chickens saw it and thought OOOH FOOOD!!! And ran towards him freaking him out making him barf more. My Mum had to run in, scoop up the sick and bin it before the chickens ate it, and rescue Oscar.

Weird eh?

Anyway. I get to see Madelaine tomorrow :D all i gotta do is ensure my thumb is extracted from my arse and i get some work done at college. THE PRESSURE IS ON. (i'm going to stop with the metaphors now)

Current Music: Digital Witchcraft - December Daze on Heretic Sounds

I fell asleep last night at a really really early hour. I had too many days with too little sleep. I woke up finally this morning at 04:35 rather amazed at how blue the sky was. I quickly glanced at the news and read the bombshell that 8 out of the 10 current teams in Formula 1 have had enough of Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley and are intending to make their own championship.

There are enough websites which explain how this has come about. What interests me is: If there is a breakaway series, what circuits will be raced, what kind of rules will there be, what aid will there be for smaller teams wishing to compete.

A good way to save money is not change the rules so drastically each year. R&D costs are by nature very high and if the rules and regulations change yearly, you end up spending money but not reaping the benefits for more than 4-8 months before you have to start again.

The Silverstone circuit is likely to want to be part of any new series, as they have been told repeatedly that they aren't going to be back on the F1 calendar for at least 17 years. Bernie Ecclestone said if Donington park isnt ready for when it takes over the British GP in 2010, then there just wont be one.

The fans are in agreement over the circuits fiasco, with there no longer being any F1 activity in North America, both of which would usually fully sell out of tickets. France cancelled their GP after prohibitive costs also. At the same time, exotic locations such as Turkey and Bahrain remain on the Calendar, yet there aren't many fans that care for the sport there. (At Turkey there was 40,000 spectators out of a max capacity of 150k).

I know a lot of people find politics in sport tedious, but i find it rather absorbing and interesting. I will be watching carefully what happens. I will quite likely watch both series' if any breakaway happens. I'll be focussing on the breakaway, but i cant wait to see ForceIndia and Williams fighting it out for the constructors championship.


Enough F1Bawwwwww.

I walked up the stairs and Oscar was sat there looking pretty. I remarked at how clear his face was (he usually has major snot problems around his nose) and he looked at me and blew a bubble out of his nostril !

I have a presentation to make today. I'm jotting down notes. The powerpoint half of the presentation has to be e-mailed off today. I have an interview next Wednesday. I've been focussing really hard on getting my college work done, that i haven't really been giving this the attention it really needs. Regardless, i will give it my all, and hopefully receive the sponsorship/job in question.

Sorry for not really having a proper blog post in over a month.

That said, this isnt going to be a 'proper' blog post either.

I got some things though :)

First off, is a Poster which i ordered back on the 21st. Impressively, it arrived here very promptly considering it was coming from California. Even more impressively is the poster itself, photographed below, complete with a thankyou card drawn by the artist herself. I rather like it! The added fact it's 2/50 makes it a little more special too.



Secondly, my Dad kindly bought me a couple books i felt i needed for my course. One out of two have arrived. The first, as you can see, is "Higher Engineering Mathematics". I'm waiting on "A guide to writing as an Engineer".

Books are expensive. This was £24, the other is nearly £40. I know i will be using these 2 books a lot though in the next 5-6 years though.

Anyway, i sleep now. ciao x
