Procrastination? Moi?

Catch-up
I haven't written anything for a while - tut tut. I usually write more when I have an impending deadline, but right now this doesn't seem to be the case - and it's not as if I don't have anything to write about either.
The fringe is into it's third week and Pinafore opened last night, to great appreciation apparently :) Have managed to catch up with quiet a few people: Harriet, Helen, Si and Jordan. I've been to see a few shows, notably Ed Byrne and Tim Minchin. Great fun with fantastic energy.
I'm currently in the midsts of hunting for a new flatmate - thought we might have had the right candidate but she changed her mind at the last moment, which was somewhat frustrating. Got a few people viewing tonight, so hopefully will be able to make a decision in the near future.
I have been pretty low with a bug for the past few days - feeling really weak and shivery. I've managed to keep going but I have a horrid feeling it'll be back again once this deadline is done and I start to chill out again.
I have such a long list of things I want to do once this dissertation is done! Not least of which is to find a job! There are a few which might be worth applying for, but nothing truely exciting.

Stuff

Absolutely bloody teriffying...
---------------------------------
I'm at home now for all of 24 hours to visit the family - My Aunts and Uncles are visiting from South Africa and London, so am taking the opportunity (however brief) of catching up with them while they're here. Just back from a family meal (with the missing members being my brother and my London-Uncle-Peter: we have 4 Peters in my immediate family). Was crossed examined on my dissertation and employment prospects by my Grandfather - joy.
The train journey down was utterly packed - there was no way I was ever going to get a seat on the 5.30 train to London Kings Cross on a Friday! I ended up huddled in a corner of the vestibule until Dunbar, where on everyone else got a seat but I couldn't be bothered moving so just stood by the open window enjoying the fresh air and the wonderful seascape North of Berwick.
This is the first time I've been home since Holly died, and it's very strange without her. Even just noticing small things like the absence of her water bowl puts it into sharp relief. I'll visit her grave in the morning - it's too dark now.
Have been interviewing potential flatmates over the past couple of days - a couple of guys who didn't seem right, and a lovely girl who I reckon will fit in perfectly. Hopefully she's meet Sally tomorrow, and if sally likes her then I'm more than happy to offer her the room if she wants it.
Ug - my head is aching :(

About bloody time!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7540480.stm
I've probably ranted about Starbucks on here somewhere before, so obviously this article delighted me :)
Other stuff:
Have seen The Dark Knight: brilliant :D
The Fringe started: w00t the Fringe! (but not the crowds when you're trying to get somewhere!)
Finished the first fraft of the dissertation with 3.5 weeks to spare: unheard of!
A friend I haven't spoken to for ages got in contact again, which was pretty cool :)
Later:
I have a problem involving making a choice between two options; both have their ups and downs, their strengths and weaknesses. I honestly don't know if I can make a choice between them, or even if I have the choice - no, that's stupid, I have other choices, and even the choice of not activly making a choice. I also have the choice of not angsting out and not sweating it - after all, who knows if it'll even come to making a choice.

Polo and prudishness
I'm not a fan, but the girl has a point...
