Buy Nothing Day

Tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day. Funny that despite the magic of the internet and all, I found out about this from graffiti I saw on the bus into town during the week. But anyway. Tomorrow I will, of course, be buying nothing. Not that I would have been buying anything anyway, but I won’t tell if you won’t.

Today, I had a nice half day. I got my lunch at Bendini & Shaw. They put tomato in everything, not good. Before my logic tutorial I talked to the USIT people about my Toronto flights. I now have enough changeover time at Heathrow to make myself feel better.

I’m gonna do some writing this weekend, and get at least one of my two projects finished. I’m also going to the gig on Sunday. Yay for me.

And I’ve been thinking even further ahead… I’m seriously considering applying for an MA or a HDip in information studies for next year. I’ll have to read into everything, and talk to the DepLIS folks, but it might be very useful. We shall see…

Dave was online earlier. He intimated that a group might be heading to Japan to see the World Cup. Now if he or Paddy or whoever were going, that would be the perfect opportunity for me to go along with them and visit Japan. My financial situation allowing, of course. And I’d pass on the football; a wrestling show sounds like much more fun to me. I’m very intrigued and mildly excited.
