Right now, you could set me off like a metronome

Well, my lecture was a waste of time, staying for it even was a waste of time. 10 minutes into a lecture which was promising to be very boring to start with, and after beginning 5 minutes late, the lecturer (who is usually quite good with his material) stated that anyone remotely familiar with Microsoft Access should leave, as they would become too bored to stay [alive] during the remainder of the two-hour period.

So I left. Along with half the other students attending the lecture.

But now I have to go and see my dad tonight over family dinner (not a fun prospect) and I've dyed my hair no less than three different colours only two days ago. What are the odds of this happening? My dad has been out of the country for like 18 months, and two days after I do something to my hair that he'll completely take off for Mars about, he comes home for one night and demands to see me.

Anyway, oh woe. Plus he'll be wanting all the updates on my studies, my work prospects, if I plan to publish a paper... when I'm getting married... if it will be to Rani, etc. My dad is a weird person sometimes. I'm just glad I had to take the tongue stud out so at least I can talk, plus neither of my crazy parental units will try to rip it out of my mouth again.
