How to make the perfect fish finger burger… March 20, 2007

Right having had a craving for a fish finger burger all morning then satisfying the urge only to find I have an insatiable appetite I thought I’d share the genius of this simple but extremely appetite quenching snack.

Step 1) Purchase the ingredients… Fish fingers, Crusty white bread rolls, Ketchup, Lurpak (spreadable, slightly salted for best results)

Step 2) Pre heat oven to 220 or gas mark 5

Step 3) Cook fish fingers on a tray in the middle of the oven for 16-18 minutes turning half way through.

Step 4) Prepare bread rolls but cutting in half horizontally and spreading a generous helping of lurpak.

Step 5) Place fish fingers in bread roll. About two and a half fish fingers per roll is a suitable amount.

Step 6) Top fish fingers off with ketchup spread all over to cover the top of them.

Step 7) Sit yourself in front of some good TV and prepare yourself for some immense taste pleasure (I’d give at least 30 seconds for full preparation)

Step 8) Eat

Step 9) Repeat all of above if still not satisfied.

For any other fish finger burger advise or possible tips to improve the recipe please do not hestitate in contacting me.

Monday again March 12, 2007

Three minutes past midnight and I already have that ‘Monday feeling’. You know, the one where you have a whole week before you feel you can justify a little bit of time off (not that I ever do anything in the week anyway but this one HAS to be productive) And I don’t even have a proper job to really justify having either the dreaded ‘Monday feeling’ or the well anticipated ‘Friday feeling’. The weekend has come and gone as quick as normally, I’ve been way too hyped up for the last few days and no doubt a come down is inevitable. I think it’s started already. You have been warned.

Oh and I just heard a bad song…its definitely began…

Save the cheerleader, Save my dissertation March 8, 2007

As days go, today has been a pretty good one. I have spent too much time stressing about the fact I have wasted so much time at uni doing something I don’t really enjoy and not enough time just making the most of the situation. Am I going to dwell further on this I hear you cry? Well the answer is no. Not for the moment anyway.
Managed to pen a good plan for a chapter of my dissertation and am feeling pretty positive about it now. Made spag bol for dinner and if I do say so myself, it was pretty damn good. Then watch Lost, Heroes and pampered myself a bit. Coconut body butter, a must in any girls cosmetics drawer. Note to self, buy some more!!!
Feeling refreshed and ready for another productive day tomorrow I just wanted to write this to remember that right now I feel good. Content. Pleased.
Having not left the house today either, I think it says a lot about where I live and I feel grateful and lucky that I have been fortunate enough to live with people that I can talk to, make me laugh and have similar interests (Hollyoaks watching is always a highlight!)
So right now I am going to sleep safe in the knowledge that when I’m knee deep in dissertation notes I can remember the positives.

But for now, I have two lovely episodes of Heroes to watch and that is guaranteed to make me smile

Later Days

4am March 6, 2007

Generally being a light sleeper I am used to waking up randomly in the middle of the night to the sound of several students chanting high spiritedly down the road after no doubt drinking themselves into a semi conscious state, however rolling over and disappearing back into the world of slumber is something that I am very good at. Until now.

Apparently having 2 hours sleep this evening is sufficient. Obviously I am not at all busy at the moment and I don’t have a dissertation to write… I wish! I could put it down to stress I guess, but today I have actually been feeling the most positive about my work in a good while. My subconscious is obvious not ecstatic about this change of disposition and would rather me go about things the hard way.

Attempts to get back to sleep have resorted in me tiring myself out with typing. I feel for sorry for anyone who decides to read the rambling of a third year at what is now 4.15 on a Tuesday morning (I had already spent most of yesterday talking at people) but perhaps if you also are having sleeping difficults then this will help. I’m no writer therefore two paragraphs in and you should be sleeping like a log.

Thankfully I had NTL ondemand to satisfy my hollyoaks needs at 3am this morning. Bit of a second-rate episode though. Bring back the student. Evil Will needs his comeuppance.

I’m not sure exactly where I’m going with this blog be honest but I’ve heard that if you get things out there it normally helps… I don’t want insomnia. Simple.

I am going to continue to stare at the boring cream ceiling in my room and possibly plan a mural. I mean, why not.

Morning!

Time to blog March 5, 2007

Right time for me to get with the times! For being an Interactive Media student I really am a unfortunate example of someone who really isn’t ‘with it’ in the world of new media.

This is my attempt to express myself on a more up-to-date platform than what was once scrawlings in a diary (not that I was very good at that in the first place!)

Happy reading and welcome to my inner thoughts! Brace yourself.
