HD and Signposts

Today was a good day ! I had to wake up at 8 this morning, which is WAY to early for a psychology student, in order to go to a cognition lecture about semantic memory. The lecturer's one of the best we have but the structure of the lecture was something like this "Here is theory x. This is why theory x is wrong: ... Here is theory y. This is why theory y is wrong: " I mean, can't they just give us the epic theory that actually works and be done with it ?! Turns out psychology still hasn't a foolproof theory for working out semantic memory... Future research ?

I spent a lot of the day producing music with C (making the music, recording vocals, recording the video, editing and producing the video) which took us about 9 hours. I'm rendering the final version as I type in 1920x1200 full HD so it's taking a good deal of ages to finish !! I won't give the song away just yet as it's already finished but I'll post up the video soon .

I need to have a rant about the roadworks that are happening behind the Vue Cinema... It's been going on since I came back from France this summer, that is mid-september. Since then, they've dug up the old safety barrieres, taken down all signaling, retarmaced everything, made holes in the new tarmac for the new signaling posts... and that's it... in FIVE months ! So at the moment, there aren't any safety barriers, the new tarmacs being destroyed everywhere to make way for the signals, no-one knows when it's safe to cross because pedestrians don't have signals, leading to a game of Shall-I-Cross based on what cars are moving and what the opposite signalling lights say. So dangerous and there never seems to be more than 5 people working on it at the same time ! Stupid council would do better to concentrate on putting safety barriers back over one of Reading's busiest crossings instead of asking themselves whether Melrose Avenue and parallel streets should become cul-de-sacs...

The weekend will be spent working, working and working (yay...) so I haven't got much fun stuff planned. My usual weekend then !

Sleep :)
