Last week.

So where have I been for the last two weeks, and why has there been no blogposts?
Two reasons; League of Legends and lack of motivation.
League of Legends is a RPG/RTS-ish multiplayer game very similar to DotA, there are 65 or so different champions, each with different play styles and item builds, and the game require a fair bit of skill and strategy, and more importantly the realisation stupid actions cause stupid deaths, something most players don't get.
This leads to me always ending up with total retards in solo queues, which is somewhat depressing, though great when I/another decent person gets the team to co-ordinate and win.
In other news, snow caused one of my three lab practicals to be cancelled, so now we somehow have to do three sessions work in two. :'(
(This went okay, they removed a session and actually we were in and out of the lab like greased lightening, though I'm not sure that greased lightening would be any faster than normal lightening, and how do you grease it anyway?)
Another important thing I've been trying to keep up with is the continuing student protests and the somewhat amusing police response. Dragging disabled reporters from their wheelchairs and across the street is not exactly the hearts and minds approach. Keeping peoples in kettles and then denying it, breaking collarbones and arms and not wearing identity tags are somewhat brutal and not really teh sort of thing to be expected in a supposedly democratic and caring country. That being said they do a hard job and are threatened with violence, so its not really surprising they overreact, but I don't really have a problem with the violence that just happens as with any mass of people, its the underhand treatment, like keeping people in Parliament square instead of letting them out along the march, and then claiming that as a reason for mounted charges and kettling.

Anyway, I would blab on for ages about wikileaks but can't be asked, you probably don't care much/readitallbefore and I have 1.8K words left to do for an essay in for tomorrow morning. So uh. Huzzah.
