Winter (or give me a Bösendorfer)

Welcome talk was the event of the day. Our programme leader explained to us few second yearers who turned up what the university expect from us all during the upcoming academic year.

Personally, I always feel inspired and motivated when something new starts. I just hope that I will carry that motivation throughout the year, cause it is honestly not of much use before the studies start. And while I am at it, the new building is awesome and definitely worth some praise. All because of the infallible combo of Sir Robert McAlpine, NBS and our tuition fees.

I have found a new favourite artist to add to my list. It is Tori Amos and her greatest hits compilation is available for a fair price. And I think that I have to live with the fact that she wants to "smash the faces of those boys, those beautiful christian boys"...

Anyway, read on wikipedia (the ubiquitous ever-reliable source) that she composed some tunes of her own with lyrics at the age of 5. She plays on a Bösendorfer Grand Piano. I want one.

Today Simon has:

Listened to Tori Amos (check out the tracks Winter and Angels)
Read The Undercover Economist by Tim Har(wood?)
Noticed that it is getting colder inside
