I had a cool dream last night. I was walking into the record store(do such places still exist?) and noticed there was hardly any CD's on all the shelves. I asked the guy at the register if they were going out of business? He said they weren't. I then asked if I could place an order for the new Fleetwood Mac album. He wiped his forehead and said, "woa, the rush of pre orders for that album just blows me away." I asked if I could see a promo pic of the record. He showed me the paper. The album is titled THANK YOU and it has a bluish-gray background with white winged doves(hey, this is a dream. I have no control here) flying up from the ground with great, wide wings. There's some type of 3D hologram on it that when you hold it, makes it appear to be flapping in real time.

The album(it was an LP, not a CD) features all their best songs in demo and outtake form, written in or around 1976. It says on the front it features Rhiannon recorded in 1976(demo).

The only thing in the dream that dissapointed me was the fact that THANK YOU was being released the same day as IN YOUR DREAMS.

Also in my dream, when I went to sign on The Ledge to report this good news, there were already a bunch of fans griping about the 2 CD's having the same release date.

Hey, British youth on this board.... I really need your help.

I'm transferring from my college and I'm seriously considering going to school in England. If any of you have insight on British universities and/or the application process, I'd be forever grateful if you could message me so I can ask some questions. I've already bombarded Lucy but I need to hear from as many people as possible.

I can help you out there if you want, I did the whole application thing last year and I have friends who are doing it now.

Although, unless you're really well-off or can get an education loan in America that'll let you study in the UK, I'd personally advise against it, unless you transfer over this year, you'll have to pay at least £9000 a year for tuition alone, which is insane.

On another note. I just hate being so trapped by my work that I can't keep up with things here and thus err my thoughts. I have so much work to get done at the moment that I'm considering paying for a Clone on the installment plan. Preferably Stephen Fry's Clone so he can earn me an A for my Dissertation while I make pretty things

Ah, Silver Springs- you are learning quickly because you're so brill. Sometimes one's body just needs time to catch up with the energy needed for a thriving and striving mind. Your little body just needs some 'me' time- be it drinking Red Bull and watching Bill Who and enjoying rock music. It's just recharging your batteries, taking some time for yourself- so that the section I underlined that you wrote bec0mes one of those things you will love, again- though sometimes hate. For the rest of your life: Love.Slash.Hate- for all those thoughts and work that will take you where you want to be.
You wouldn't want to be "normal" in the bad way, would you? It's "normal" in a GOOD way to say 'today has been cancelled due to a lack of motivation' and just enjoy laying up in the bed, drinking the Red Bull, putting some music on loud on the headphones, and watching some tv. Part of being young. Take a page from Miss Scarlett's Guide To Living-- think about it tomorrow! Enjoy today doing nothing, take tomorrow if you need it too. By Wednesday the work will be welcomed. That's one of the best parts of being young.
Me, I'm shooting for March- for remnants of motivation

Enjoying one's 'down time' is essential to putting up with the bullsh*t that is life.
Slack off, sweetie

For a tad longer...

Yeah, you could always come here to the land of the Welsh where the tuition fees aren't rising, but the universities here are a bit crap apparently. I'm going to England for music uni for that reason despite the tuition fees

I think that, if you're Scottish, it's still free. And if you're English/Welsh and go to a Scottish uni, you only pay half... of the old fees. Which is ridiculous.

My current tuition is $32,000.... education is so much more expensive in the United States. That's JUST tuition, not room and board and other living expenses. Luckily I have a big scholarship but I'm still paying much more than you are.

I've only really looked into universities connected with the University of London but if you have any recommendations for a literature major, let me know!
