It's not all about the soup...

I wanted to wait for about 24 hours before I put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) on yesterday's disappointing dinner (non)event.   Having spent 3 hours putting together a special meal for some invited friends (one of whom has a temporary eating disability), a brief phone call received at 6.30 provided little information other than "argument", "not coming" and "speak later".   

Of course I was pissed off big time - both in terms to looking forward to the evening and missing a large part of the day that I could have spent studying for Monday's exam.   I still am pissed off but I'll get over it.   We enjoyed our part of the dinner with far too much wine, then went out on the town and had a great night, unfortunately descending into drunken reasoning of "it's 12.30 - no itsh not - itsh 1130 cos the clocks go backsh".    I am unlucky with dinner guests - either my invitees are too unreliable or my cooking sucks.   

tictictictictictictictictictictictictictictictictic....
The cooling fan on my laptop is driving me nuts.   I direct a little desk fan onto the thing (the Macbook pro's get unbelievably hot if you do anything involving heavy processing) yet still it whirs.   I need to get it in for a service quickly.

Yes I have an exam tomorrow for the first module of my diploma in financial services, with an 80% pass level.  I spent all day today working back through the material, doing practice exams, re-doing old questions... it's been a blast.  I can't wait until its out of the way - I look out the window and have an undeniable urge to get out and take photos or wash my car or something.  Anything.
