It's The End of The Term As We Know It

The OUSCR wine and cheese bar-b-que party last night was gangs of fun. Yummy food, lots of schmoozing, sparklers, sing-a-longs on the piano and guitar. Good stuff. Got into a couple of interesting discussions... one on political philosophy and Anarchism, another on the nature of geekdom. Some good pictures were taken, one of me with three other ringers names Mark, Luke, and Jon. Another was a slow exposure shot of sparklers drawing out the "OUS" acronym for the society. I was reminded that most of the Society are undergraduate kids when another long exposure shot used sparklers to draw an ejaculating penis. Stayed until the party closed down, then headed back to chat with resourceress for awhile before bed.

Today has been fairly mellow so far. Cycled over to the sports centre and swam another mile. Tidied house. Watched a fifteen minute thunderstorm -- rare for Oxford -- mixed with hail. Now cheshcat and I are getting ready to leave for the formal summer ball at the Oxford University Press. Should be a fun shindig!

Okay, I get lots of points for self-control here, because there is such a dodgy pun to be made and I'm not making it. ;-)

If it brings the whole idea of balls more down to Earth, the evening did end with my glasses getting broken when a drunken asshole smacked me on the dance floor. Well, actually it ended when I filed a police report for "common assault", but you get the idea...

oh wow... Yes, that definitely brings the idea of balls down to earth!
