17th December 2010You Gotta Wanna Be The Drummer In The BandI want to express what I’m feeling right now. I want to capture the moment in a way that a camera never could. All I can do is try. I’m drained. I’m grumpy. I’m thirsty. I have no energy or enthusiasm and I want to sleep for a month. I’m anxious ((Very new feeling, related to accommodation and the prospect of snow ruining my travel plans on Saturday. Can be ignored.)) and irritated and sad.

He looked up from his novel towards my house, but I don't know if he saw me looking back. Hi Murray, and thanks Mum, for pointing out that Murray was walking past.

It was everything I hoped it would be, and I hope to buy one in the near future (before Christmas). I hope you enjoy yours Ruairidh.

1st September 2010Buying a ComputerThe one thing my blog needs is an editor to write the titles. Other than that, I'm sorted. I'm going to university in less than 3 weeks ((Jesus FUCK.)) and I need a computer. What should I get? I've known for ages what I want ((Except for unlimited money and unlimited everything else that I want.)), but I keep thinking whether or not it's right for me. Do I even need my own computer at university? Yes, I would use the fuck out of it and it would make many things in my life easier. Should I buy a desktop computer or ...

About Wilf's Blog
I'm a mathematician, but apart from that, I'm a fairly normal guy. I used to write a blog - this blog. I write (wrote) about whatever is on my mind. It can get quite personal sometimes.
