We got a new puppy called Molly/Psyche yesterday, very cute! She's half GSD, half akita, altho she just looks like a german shep to me, apart from her nose i think which is a bit Japanese! Lol her sister we had a look at too was literally half and half, her tail-end was completely akita with a curly tail n all, and funny akita walk, v naughty that one was (nipped me ear, and also spent our time there chomping various jack russells round the neck).. this one's good so far tho, apart from accidentally scaring the cat off! He's back now tho, still slightly grumpy looking but seems to be getting used to her!

Anyway, on the topic of Star Wars..
have a look at this wicked Yoda james painted me:

Revenge of the Sith

We went to see Star Wars Revenge on the Sith on the opening night, it was amazing! I particularly liked the yoda fight bit, and R2D2's new special features, ooh yeah and that cool dragony/lizard thing that Obi-Wan hitches a ride on! All v cool, oh yeah and when we got up to leave, we turned round and saw Louis Theroux sitting right behind us! Bizarre!

Stressed Eric

Phew, just sat two 48 hour exams, handed in two big coursework assignments, and now I'm home (for a bit) to revise for my 3 exams coming up on monday, tuesday and wednesday.. jeez they don't give it a rest! Ah well, 2 down 6 to go I guess.. agh.. right.. Computer Vision page 1 here we come!

Good news about the house anyway, we both managed to stop our cheques for the Hollingbury Road house after the crayzee lady messed us about, so she can keep her no smoking stickers to herself, and raw garlic (for medical reasons), lol. We've put a depost down on a nice place at Preston Circus, above an excellent fancy dress shop with plenty of multicoloured haired customers as far as I could tell.. it's right near the old cinema with the stripey tight wearing legs sticking out the top, and its just along the road about 20 metres from Preston Park! It's also just about 5 mins walk into town from there, and there's a station just up the road, it's all good, and the landlady's nice, she's even going to re-decorate for us before we move in! Here's the piccie..

Ooh, I just found out, it looks like Gemma's allowed home this afternoon! =) more good news!

HollingburyRoadHouse

So, yesterday we went to look at the flat in Hollingbury Road, it's nice, it's got quite a large bedroom, a kitchen, sitting room and bathroom all to ourselves, plus a washing machine, and a view into Brighton over the racecourse! We were shown round with two other couples, but waited around after they'd left and asked the landlady if we could take it. Unfortunately, she said that the house actually belongs to her son, and that he is planning to move back to Brighton if he gets the job that he'd been interviewed for the day before, in which case he'd need the flat himself! Doh! Nonetheless, we put down our deposit, and now we're just waiting to hear whether we got it or not.. i'd say we've got about a 50/50 chance, will find out by Sunday at the latest!

This is the view into Brighton from the end of the road.. I think the racecourse is there somewhere if you really squint! Mind you apparently I lived more or less next to it for a year last year and it still eludes me, I don't think it really exists..
