UNSW Book Fair 

If you like cheap second-hand books of all sorts, the UNSW Book Fair will be on in the Scientia building from Thursday to Saturday!

Every book you can think of (plus sheet music!) for around $3 or even less!

Beware: you may go in … but you may not come out…

Come because this is the last year the Book Fair will ever happen. The people who run it annually have decided to retire after this year’s fair (and so my symphony’s funding will take a large hit). 

ie I was volunteering at the book fair today and ended up walking out with a box full of books. Managed to nab Grimms fairytales for 20 cents. One can never buy too much Chekhov, I have decided. I also got a massive Bernard Shaw tome for free because it apparently had damp and it was going to be thrown out. =OOO

Just in case you’re interested, there are guys called Derp and Nyan and Kangarausage (Kangaroo Sausage?) and a few Disney-named ones. There are girls called Sherlock and Watson. We have a Nagini, Castro, a Ringo, Bam Bam and Pebbles after the Flintstones, Guess (“What’s your name?” “Guess.”), Bjorg (pronouned ba-jorg), Alagn Rickman etc. College is cool.

So it didn’t go spectacularly 

but it was orright. Orright.

Now I’m going to YouTube “Call Me Maybe” - the Aussie bloke version. And finish watching Holy Musical B@man. Aw yeah Starkid!

I’m also going to spend my time making Alan Ng memes.

There’s some lovely jazz music going on in the library next door for some odd reason. 

Moose is such a bossy personality sometimes. And condescending. And hairless. Gonna buy some Brasso for his head. And some styling wax for his hair. He deserves this cruelty.

Anyone interested in seeing a Wodehouse play done by a bunch of College students? If so, ask me, so I can book tickets. (And I’m the music director for it? Does that entice you further?)

So I had to submit an apology letter 

saying that I couldn’t attend the AGM next Tuesday night. These sort of official letters go to the New College Secretary of the SRC body thing. His name is Tank and his submit box is a TARDIS in front of his door.

(And I signed my letter “Dr. Pepper” with a fancy scrolling signature and everything).

Well… 

Moose is definitely not gay.

Moose 

… killed waaay too many people to be normal, in our College’s game of Assassins. And I’ve been told, that despite his claims to have been killed, HE’S LYING. HE’S STILL ALIVE AND WANTS TO KILL…

YOU <points finger & stares into camera>.

Honestly, Gumby was so paranoid that he hid all day yesterday and only came back at midnight to possibly sleep/check his room for booby traps. 

Meanwhile, I was killed earlier on by the person who asked me to help him. ==”

@abjv: MOOSE 

Moose:

  • Plays violin
  • Is GERMAN
  • Reads Oscar Wilde and is a fan of OSCAR WILDE and has a room kinda overladen with OSCAR WILDE
  • Hoping to take over as a New College director so he can put on OSCAR WILDE. Well, nah, he said they’ve done Importance of Being Earnest too many times at college already, which explains the mass of books all over his room as he’s searching for a play to put on.
  • Recites Shakespeare spontaneously. E.g. at dinner, in orchestra, in shower etc. Just breaks into quotes.
  • Likes music and theatre.
  • Appears thin, geeky and a bit on the hairy side but I think is considered a heart-throb in college. He had a “King of Hearts” certificate awarded to him by college, I think. 
  • Is eloquent (and hairy).

@abjv: all-nighter hi-5! 

I’ve been staying up late and pulling occasionally unnecessary all-nighters where I just hang out in Kea’s room with Kea and Saggy and we just talk or listen to music until we’re dead/until the sun rises. Usually Kea’s the first to fall asleep, whilst Saggy and I lie around cramped together on the remainder of the bed. Then we give up after a few hours and either watch sky-tv or take a walk to McDonalds.

Pulling all-nighters with Saggy has enlightened me to his ‘odd’ sense of humour. Translation: he finds cat videos and videos of people getting injured humorous.

Admittedly, jumping corgi is rather cute.

But it kinda sucks, when you get to the point where you simply can’t sleep and that Kea sleeps earlier than you already. Stoopid with a double ‘o’.

Point of optimism: Saggy sleeps later than me and so shall always be free for a chat. NB: Bring own dvds and/or snacks. Don’t wish to spend night watching cat videos.

The night I pulled an all-nighter was probably the only reason I actually didn’t miss a day of uni classes. Didn’t actually have to sleep, so didn’t actually have to wake up. Charming day; 7am photos, 8am class to 5pm, then Wailers performance 6-7pm. Then I fell asleep but was woken up by phone calls.

Now it seems as though I’m starting to understand William better.

chaos




Every human heartbeat is a universe of possibilities.

I reblog stuff - a lot. Stuff that I like may include Sherlock BBC, Doctor Who, Disney, Harry Potter, Glee (as embarrassing as that is to admit) as well as any musicals I may be obsessed with at the time, such as Jersey Boys, Wicked, How to Succeed in Business Without Trying, Mary Poppins, Anything Goes, Annie Get Your Gun, AVPM and generally anything Starkid. Also life-ruining people like Darren Criss, Benedict Cumberbatch, Matt Smith, etc.

Apologies to those who follow and have been recently spammed with gifs from The Reichenbach Fall.
