Waaa

I've just finished university for the year. All that's left is to work my butt of until Christmas, and then spend all my hard earned cash. It's going to be great!

So, I finished sorting through my Beatles mp3s tonight, and renaming them from the goddamn stupid American album naming system, and I decided to go through as much as I have (only about 75 songs) chronologically in order of release (not composition where they vary - like the whole Let It Be/Abbey Road thing). Anyway, I pretty much got as far as Strawberry Fields Forever before I had to keep going back and replaying. And replaying. And replaying. Kept getting caught by the lyric:

It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.

Also, have utter respect for:

Always[,] no [know] sometimes[,] think it's me,
but you know [no] I know [no] when it's a dream.
I think I [a?] know [no][,] I mean a 'yes', but it's all wrong.
That is, I think[,] I disagree.

One of those songs you appreciate so much more after a few listens. And yes, I did hear the speed change one minute into the song. And the weird almost mispitching in John's voice. George Martin just makes me want to grab a four-track and start playing around with it.

Enough stream-of-consciousness. Before I finish up I'd like to draw your attention to a little thing Trav's got going:

This is still a website. I'm still here. I think we need a new poem. If there's anyone out there who is even remotely aware of this website and even more remotely poetic (really only first prerequisite matters, really, really) then e-mail me something to post up there. All submissions will be posted. That's right, anything, anonymity guaranteed, (if requested) and sure, if it's crap then it may happen to be posted and immediately purged, but it will be posted.

There's also the issue of the other domain to be taken care of. I'm in such dire need of attention that I'll give you it as long as you're prepared to make some use of it. My suggestion is that you simply ruthlessly parody Trav. Right, time to celebrate. Justin, post about Sustainability Engineering - it's worth getting worked up about.
