Tied by Hate, Bound by Love

Alex on The Cambridge Examination System:
"Exams are like saltmining. You stand there chipping away at an insurmountable pile of salt; then, sometimes, salt being what it is, it collapses on you a bit. Then you dig yourself out and start over again. Now, the end is in sight, because the communist regime has been dissolved, and we will soon be free of these gulags."

We ventured out to the centre of cinematic genesis that is the Cambridge Arts Theatre (next to Wetherspoons), and saw "Strings". It's about puppets. Lots of puppets, but, rather than being wooden humanoids pretending to be their larger and more agile superiors, they live in their own world, held up by strings to the heavens. It was well done, surprisingly un-corney (is that a word?). It had a little bird in it. It chirruped. It was funny.

Humm...

Also, today was the day of Anatomising, for the second time. Luckily, this exam was much happier than the last and I have now regained my faith in canine-kind.
