We watched The Theory of Everything last night! Such a sweet sad movie, he really is an amazing person.
:O Amazing! I think I read a quote that Stephen Hawking was really impressed with Eddie's performance and that at times he actually thought it was himself!Quote:

Also, just checked the tracking on my new mac laptop and it's "out for delivery" as of 09:30 this morning :D so should be here soon!
My Christmas present from my best friend arrived. I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends! She got me a gorgeous gothy necklace, but also bought me Bat Out of Hell on vinyl. She said she wasn't sure if I could use it (my boyfriend has a jukebox; as it happens, that only plays singles but, oh well) but thought I'd probably like to display it if not. Which I will. I'm going to put it on my wall in the office. The first two Bat albums and Thin Lizzy's Whisky in the Jar are pretty much the soundtrack to my childhood. Plus, my dad has it on vinyl, so it kind of reminds me of home and being a kid and just, yeah. I'm happy. It's a really lovely gift.
^ my mum now wants to adopt you :P they're two of her favourite records, and I too was raised on Bat Out of Hell.
I spent the day revising with my girlfriend (we took the same modules) and now feel SO much better about these exams - we talked through some essay plans and she witnessed my epiphany that Marx, Durkheim and Weber can be used to critique each other. And I realised I know A LOT MORE than I thought I did.
It was just so nice to be with her and have her make me feel better about these exams - for the first time ever it doesn't feel like an enormous, impossible task.
Just applied for my Australian visa. Bundles of nerves!
My parents had two copies of the second album (long story) so one was given to me. The best way to make me feel like ten years old is to either put of LotR films of Meat Loaf. In Year Six, we had to pick a famous musician to write a 'biography' on; while all of my friends were doing Britney, Steps or whoever else was popular at the time, I did Meat. ^_^ Have you ever seen Steve Steinman's Bat Symphony?Quote:
