Assuming I do a PhD, where should I go?

Head Automatica...

played a free concert at the student union here last night. FREE!!! With that in mind, it was great! I didn't know any of the songs but who cared? It was loud and free! Before that we had a pool party at the apartment complex with more free food, as is increasingly becoming the norm! They were handing out free ice-cream on the Uni Mall aswell, fortunately with several different servers so i could go back for more and not get caught.

On a side topic, we had some rain yesterday/last night! Infact, the full monsoonal thunderstorm for about an hour a time. It wouldnt be so bad for the fact theres no drainage at all here. Nothing on the roads or anything. Essentially, the roads can flood if someone spills their regular 20oz "Diet" coke whilst fumbling with the rest of their nasty fast-food cholesterol chicken meal. Actually, their not all that bad. I met up with an American friend along with my apartment-mates and we found somewhere selling lunch wraps, mostly filled with salad! There had to be a catch!

Went food shopping again today (nothing too interesting about that i hear you say) but we nearly made it through without seeing the greeter guy (i shall call him Herbert until i find out his real name!). Herbert is out over-enthusiastic, always smiling 'friend' who works at Fry's (our local supermarket). We got as far as the checkouts before he strode past whilst i was packing, tapped me on the back and delivered a speech along the lines of "Hi, how you doing! Thanks for shopping at Fry's. Are you both ok? Nice to see you again! Hope to see you soon!". I'll get a photo at some point and you'll see what i mean. I think Herbert might be Mexican!

Just finished reading the new (relatively) Harry Potter book aswell and what a great book it is! I hadn't read any Potter before (seen the films though) and i was taken-a-back by the gripping readability, all-ages nature of the book. J.K Rowling has written a masterpiece which i reccommend to anyone! It finishes off the Potter era's fantastically with twists and turns, adventure and action. I'm not going to give anything of the plot away, find out how good it is for yourself!

See you guys later and keep checking back for more pointless dribble from Arizona!
