They had a Japanese night at the Kalmar Nation pub yesterday. I knew some people I know would be there and figured I might go out and be social for once. Unfortunately the ones I know well were stuck in the kitchen cooking for most of the evening (the place, like all the pubs of all the nations, is run by students) so I made small talk with friends of friends for a couple of hours, had some halfway decent sushi and went home.
Today is damp and cloudy and I get bored five seconds into anything I start doing, I'm sure you know the kind of day. I'm actually glad my break ends on Monday (for a long time I thought it was Monday this week), I even went and bought some of the literature and started reading ahead. If you've seen Schutz' 'A First Course in General Relativity' you know that it's probably the most boring looking book in existance. It is better on the inside, not graphically, but the text is good. Why can't they at least try to make the books look interesting? For this kind of book it probably wouldn't do anything for the sales, but it'd make the students who have to buy it feel like it might have been money well spent.

Go and listen to this, it's been the high point of my day thus far:
