Again, feeling a little bored. Got to talk to my supervisor in college today. He went through a few project ideas with me which were all, frankly, quite scary. I don't even know where to begin with them. He's going to photocopy a few papers for me tomorrow so I can start reading them I suppose. At least I got a desk today. Its quite a nice little cubicle - in the corner. They ordered my computer today, so Im naively hoping that it will arrive tomorrow. Well, at least I have desk to sit at and look busy. Was introduced to most of the postgrads, who all seem really nice. Theyre not nerdy at al, suprisingly. I know a few of them already from tutorials and things like that, so I should be ok. My supervisor, Andy, introduced me to them. For one particular postgrad he was like "Oh, I have to introduce you to Brian", so he brought me over to this guy who I am sure is gay. I was standing there thinking, do i like have it tattooed on my fucking forehead. He seemed quite nice though, my suspicions were further strengthened when one of the other postgrads, while eating a fairy cake, made some joke/refernece to this guy Brian, who laughed back, and then he mentioned something bout "bitching". I would go into more detail but I didn't really hear it. I mentioned it to Ciaran, and he suggested that since lots of the postgrads have teddies and posters and stuff around their desks, I should get a Ken doll and dress him up in Barbie's clothes, preferably a pink leotard. While Im on the topic why is that Barbie has breasts to the delight of many a little girl's brother, but Ken is virtually a eunuch.

Speaking of which, check out this little story about Barbie, and I also found this quite funny, although I have to warn you its a bit filthy too.
