stil grouchy.. this is so un-me. caught yet another ep of The Big Unknown on ch5; its pretty interesting i guess.. anyway i take issue wif wat e UCL student (and ex-RJ alum... but ive NEVER EVER seen/heard of such a person... EVER... *wail*) ijun - she claims that quite a few colleges have done away wif dissection altogether, she quotes her fren as saying they dun do dissection there (whereever there is..) anymore - so that's supposed to be a plus point of going to UCL? um... hello??! even in my hazy state of mind that doesnt make much sense to me... anyhow not being nitpicky, some of wat is said does make sense, eg having ur books written by e selfsame lecturers ( - UCL student ijun), and buying 2nd hand TBs (-SMU student Pat). and e Deakin student Paul... oh boy. hes exactly e type of guy id expect to run into at one of e hipper clubs around town (dont ask me which are in now, i havent e foggiest idea). he'd *definitely* fit in in oz! strangely enuf e clothes e students wear in ucl seem to be way more formal (not formal formal... um, okay maybe smart casual ++ ). hope thats not true in real life.. uni wdnt be uni without i-just-got-out-of-bed-5-mins-ago-so-heres-e-funkiest-i-can-muster ... which i guess im handling pretty well in poly now. =|

revelation: e selector (so i was wrong about e spelling, tho i cdve sworn 'selecta' is also permissible, it dates back from e era of ska - not e No Doubt kind of ska but something that sounds like it came out of e 20s/30s.. actually i noe next to nothing about it save for a cd i picked up at tower records thinking it was a more lyrical predecessor of hiphop! o_O ) isnt a spanking new p10 concept.. its a syndicated radio show from e british council. only difference between this and most other syndicated shows is only e music is syndicated: ie e playlist is fixed but e host is free to make up his/her own radio banter. works better than Rick Dees American Top 40 - i was almost fooled there! (fine, i WAS fooled... happy?). its a good weekly digest of watever's on e musicradar in e uk - more or less replacing my need to buy Q mag every coupla months for their review of e latest n greatest in british music on cd. i think im becoming more cheapskate by e day. o_O
