What a week. Science ball on wednesday, puggs on thursday, and Jono's last night. I don't think this is healthy.

Life is too full at the moment. Peace and quiet would be so nice... the trouble is, almost whenever I'm not at uni, I have to go to work...

Had an interesting (if slightly drunken) discussion with a friend about optimism the other night. I reckoned hope is really important. He claims there's no reason to have any, we're all going to die anyway.

What would humanity be without hope?

Hopeless, I guess. (yes, I have rediscovered puns. Cue groans.)

Seriously.. I don't think we could develop at all without it - after all, what would be the point?

So remember, when you're sad.. there is always hope.

Enough one line paragraphs... on to cricket. Taken from a post on alt.fan.pratchett:
