The really fucking weird moment when your university decides to get rid of Honours degrees. Uh, what now?

That's even more bizarre than the Melbourne Model. What's their reasoning?

Vlad I just interviewed a guy who is driving a 1913 car from Melbourne to Moscow.

Won't it get wet?

Ax, I take it you and Charlotte decided not to go to this Triple J Unearthed party thing tonight?

They're moving to a two year Masters program (first year entirely coursework, second year entirely thesis) in an effort to create new PhD students et al. Still, it doesn't make sense for those who want to just do Honours as a professional qualification (outside of Ancient History and Psychology which'll still have it). Kinda sad that tradition's being thrown away, though.

I would have thought it would make more sense to drop the Masters than Honours... Masters always seemed like a bit of a cop-out for a PhD. I say this as someone who started a Masters prelim course (because I'd been out of uni too long to do Honours) and gave up.

Now I've probably offended loads of people I never suspected of having done a Masters.

It's time to go see what the free app of the day on Amazon is

Damn, kittens. Looks like some exciting shit happened during the... thirty hours I was away.

I need to go to bed. When I saw who the last poster was, Cobbler's name/numbers completely looked like Mr. Nipple's name.

Yeah, we gave it a miss ... honestly probably would've gone if it had been at the East or Northcote rather than the Corner.

Had a good night at home watching the telly anyway. Rare for us to watch so much in one burst! But The Chaser's new show is pretty good.

Yeah, that's just weird. And especially annoying for anybody like me who was able to hop straight from Honours to PhD; that Masters would add an extra year to studies.

Hahaha one interaction with Matkin and he thinks I'm an asshole. These first impression things are usually right.

 

[Axver]

Oh well, if it keeps people amused and brings in hits and I don't have to do anything except issue a statement here that I think it's lame too, what do I care!

 

[bono_man2002]

The lack of NLOTH material is disgusting.

I am amused by how uncreative they are. Most of these were performed regularly throughout the tour.

If the twitter folk pulled Kunstmuseum, everyone would have believed them. And they would be too braindead for anyone to be mad at them.

 

[bono_man2002]

The set is incredibly short, for a pretend show. Its more like a real one with a lot of snippets thrown in here and there.

Well I think that was his point, to make it true to the tour. But yeah.

 

[cobl04]

What a dumb idea. I hope he has other stuff going on in his life

 

[mono]

You're going to see Mono tomorrow night, so if you've started this prank you have been caught (unless last.fm lies!)

Who's gonna see me?

Ax of course. You mean you aren't prepared yet?

 

[Reggo]

Hey, Vlad. What does this translate to?

 

[Axver]

Who knew Japanese post-rock bands posted on U2 fan forums!

Something like:

Accumulator Fire Hazard

Aww, boo. It's a picture from inside that UVB-76 weird Russian radio station and I thought it was more interesting than that.
