    Busker's Festival hit town this week.
    Some very cool performers, the stand-out being a French guy in a Gargoyle outfit complete with wall-mounting style podium

    I had a weird dream too, it involved finding a secret goldmine but the gold was kind of rubbery like the slime you can buy from vending machines.

    I dreamt that I was on hunting for the first time in my life. With a double-barrel rifle somehow :confused: I didn't know those existed, at least not in Norway. But I managed to shoot, and kill a moose...

    Buy another dictionary. One that actually translates, not simply explains things. 'The error is human' would be 'error humanus est'. There's some subtle difference between a verb and a noun ;)

    Ya know what bugs me? "Juice cocktails." If I'm gonna pay $1.79 or more for something to drink, it had damned well better contain more real fruit juice than it does corn syrup and water!

    My uni class schedule sucks.

    So far, it's:

    Mon free
    Tue 8am - 8pm
    Wed 8am - 11.25pm
    Thu 11.40am - 3.05pm
    Fri 1.30pm - 3.05pm

    I could take the pain of Mon 8pm - 9.30 pm and make Tue's 8am - 1.15pm and Fri's free at the cost of Thu's 8am - 6.25pm. Can't decide. Need to think.

    Rally, I remember paying $2.5 for juice, but it was real at least ;)

    It's so hard to get up.

    After a long period of dormancy, I have decided to screw being aloof and go get a girlfriend. Aren't many nice ladies in my proximity, though...

    At first it looked nice, coming from about 45hours/week. This year's uni schedule looked very, very relaxing: less than 30 hours/week.
    Till this one teacher says: "I need two more hours a week for I'll be gone in November"
    Then this other teacher says:"We must finish this before Christmas, adding two hours here and two hours there."
    Then we found out we needed to make 2x75hours working in two chosen departements.
    Lastest news, the guy giving optics, says "hey, you got lab work to do for me, didn't you know" -no we didn't.
    Hell, that's 40hours/week again I guess. Just can't catch a brake. :coffee:

    [​IMG] Word of the Day for Wednesday October 1, 2003

    expropriate \ek-SPROH-pree-ayt\, transitive verb:
    1. To deprive of possession.
    2. To transfer (the property of another) to oneself.

    Very few voters, after all, really believe Europe's new
    generation of social democratic leaders are wild Bolsheviks
    plotting to expropriate their Toyotas.
    --Fintan O'Toole, "The last gasp of social democracy,"
    [1]Irish Times, March 19, 1999

    The Spanish constitution declared the country "a democratic
    republic of workers of all classes" and laid down that
    property might be expropriated "for social uses."
    --Mark Mazower, [2]Dark Continent

    Farmlands that had belonged to Bosnia's Muslim beys...
    and agas were expropriated without compensation and handed
    over to their former tenant sharecroppers.
    --Chuck Sudetic, [3]Blood and Vengeance
    _________________________________________________________

    Expropriate comes from Medieval Latin expropriatus, past
    participle of expropriare, "to deprive of property," from
    Latin ex- + proprius, "one's own." The act of expropriating is
    expropriation. One who expropriates is an expropriator.

    Oh, do shut up!

    My day has sucked... I also spent way too much money on stuff, including food. Oh well... at least the red wine with that steak was good...

    LMAO! The word of the day reminds me of a running joke my friends and I had at the university (and I still use from time to time).

    Whenever someone would jokingly accuse us of stealing something (I can't remember what situation started it), we'd always respond: "I don't steal! ...I expropriate." or "I didn't steal it, I merely expropriated it."

    "This is not revenge. This is retribution" :lol:

    Bad news. Beginning with this very year, certificates no longer give you a free mark for language courses at our university. Welcome to the world of C1, more or less CAE level - and most probably rather at the end than at the beginning. They just don't do higher levels. It's also so late in the evening that it means sitting there from 8 am to 8 pm, as having a break after 1.15 pm and coming back to the city for English course is hardly worth it (add two hours needlessly spent on getting home and back there). I could still sacrifice my sweet free Mondays instead :( ... Although getting free Fridays does sound appealing.

    So when someone who is now living in another country "adopts" property, is it a case of expatriate expropriation?

    Say THAT three times fast after a few double vodkas!
