Someone on my corridor seems to have decided to try experimenting with cooking fish.
As a result, the corridor is in a state where one almost needs a gas mask to walk down it. Stinky, big-time.

And the intelligent thing is, whoever it was, he put the trimmings, unbagged, into the main kitchen bin. The bedder doesn't come to empty our bins until Monday, and I don't even think there are facilities for students to empty the bins themselves. So we're stuck with this until Monday morning, I think. Ew. Hopefully it'll fail to permeate my room.

Happier point is that Cambridge is currently full of amusingly-garbed overexcited graduates, post-grads and others, in gowns of black and hoods varying in hue from Eco-warrior green to I'm-a-blood-donor red, as well as fluffy white. Overall quite a pretty sight. On an attractive person, college gowns are most decidedly sexy. Female or male.

What is it about dress-like clothing that makes men look so gorgous when they're wearing it? Hogwarts gowns, Elves' formal robes, University college gowns... *drools* Girly, you are so right about that.
I think there should be a decree passed - attractive men should be required to wear a dress or similar apparel for a minimum or one day per week.
Anu and Avvie would naturally pass already *awards prizes*, as would any Elf or Severus you should choose to name. The rest of you - frocks, now!

Is it the whole formal uniform thing? Lots of unnecessary stuff to give pleasing asthetics to the general body shape and say "Hey, I'm not just anybody. I'm a X" where X is something good and admirable.

Jung-Hwa Ban Jung (such a great song!)

XD Just XD. That's all I have to say. XD

But yes, I agree. Men in uniform. I never understood it until recently, thanks to HH. Hooray for naval uniform and big swooshy hats!

My shiny new MA gown is quite good in this regard (and not just 'cos you can hide wine bottles in the sleves :)

Frocks look OK on us fat buggers, too.

I completly agree... there is something very sexy about the ambiguity of gowns....

What's so funny about Jung-Hwa Ban Jum (except that I misspelt it the first time around)? Do you know something I don't?

My brother sent me the MP3. I don't speak Chinese. I guess the lyrics could be anything...
