Go me

I got my essay back today - I got a high IIi! Aren't I good? Maybe my tutor isn't such a bitch after all. Oh and also I did an assessed presentation thing and it went ok, I didn't manage to tell my tutor that I didn't read a paper that was assigned to me because it looked too hard for me to bother with, like I did last time, and I got my loan! So today has been generally good. Although looking at the glaring whiteness of this screen isn't helping my headache much, but then the other options are sleep (not tired) and read, watch tv or work, which will all do nothing to rid me of this crippling, excruciating, pounding pain in my left eye. Ok I've been moaning too much lately haven't I? So I'm going to put my headache to the back of my mind and write about something else...

Right, time for Blog Ideas I think...

"What is something scientists need to invent?"

it says. Well, I came up with this idea while struggling to cope with a tricky page-turn during a Wind Orchestra rehearsal a few months ago - the Electronic Music Stand Thing(TM).

Ever missed out on an all-important passage while trying to turn pages during a windy outdoor concert? Ever successfully turned a music page only for it to blow onto the floor because of excessive air conditioning/someone removing it and putting it on the floor/a racoon? Ever tried to play in a tropical hurricane? You need Electronic Music Stand Thing(TM)! Electronic Music Stand Thing(TM) is a computer-monitor-thing displaying a double page of sheet music - no more paper blowing off stands (excuse the innuendo). When you need a page turn, Electronic Music Stand Thing(TM) will detect where you are in the music in time to change the page for you! It even comes with its own adjustable stand for the taller or shorter musician, and is self-illuminating for those dark, dark concert halls/outdoor gazebo thingies. Electronic Music Stand Thing(TM) comes in a range of colours and sizes to suit all tastes. Electronic Music Stand Thing(TM): buy it NOW!

I believe Electronic Music Stand Thing(TM) is the future - someone will steal the idea and it'll be in the shops soon. Or at least it would if anyone in a position to use the idea read my blog.

You will notice a new poll (if I managed to think of an idea for one, which I will have done, as I am super). Musings on Mice has probably been forgotten or not seen by some people, so the present polls aren't really appropriate. Therefore I have decided to create a new poll every couple of weeks. Voila.
