Susan Hated Literature

I’m surely not the only person to have noticed this surge in spam comments? Or more accurately, in trackback spam. Tis annoying so it is.

It is Friday today, don’t know if you noticed, I almost didn’t. So yay, weekend time. And it feels more like a Wednesday, which comes from not working Monday and Tuesday I suppose One of our lecturers left at the end of last term, he is heading off foreign and left in a load of his old books as a donation before he went, so I’m working my way through them. Then there is shelf-tidies and sorting out exam papers and what not, to be done. But should be plenty of time, most of our students aren’t back til the end of the month so we are fairly quiet. Just the odd body around the library.

Have to go into Peats on Sat and see if they’ll fix my mp3 player, Manny just won’t start up, which is a tad annoying. I have my receipt and everything so hopefully it’ll be straight forward enough.

The Friday Five:
1. Do you have any pets? If so, how many, and what are their names?

- Technically no. But the family have the mutt and the cat. Shady and Taz. There is also a goldfish, but I don’t know its name. And the flatmate has a goldfish, called Frank.

2. What was your very first pet? Do you remember its name?

- The first pet we had was a cat. Blackie, cause she was black.

3. Is there an animal you would never have as a pet?

- Any insect or suchlike. Don’t see the point.

4. What common pet have you always wanted but never had? Why not?

- a horse. Too expensive and nowhere to keep one.

5. What wild animal (extinct or not) would you own if you didn’t have to worry about its adjustment or the cost of captivity?

- Uhm. If I also didn’t have to worry about space, training, obedience etc I’d go for a velociraptor. Well, a whole pack of em just like in Jurassic Park only without the killing of people I know. (image borrowed from here)
