I Talked Leicester into a 2:1
February 25, 2022 Lehan Edirisinghe
A cute Shiba video and a cage-ethics rant sit beside a bigger flex: I persuaded my degree result upward, and I keep chasing justice, impact, and clean accountability. The conflict is insecurity versus authority, the stake is status and self-belief, and the payoff is proof I can move outcomes.

PSY - GANGNAM STYLE(강남스타일) M/V:
How References and Explanations Work in the Captain’s Log
7:15 p.m.
I don't write explanations or describe things in full detail, in my head, in my mind, I don't use explanations, I know those things myself. But when writing here, some things, some stories or points, some jokes even, they are a little tougher, so I explain.
I sometimes write re: 7:00 p.m. and then it means that it is a reference to 7:00 p.m. content or point. But when I am thinking, it isn't necessary, as I already know it, I also, think, the whole narrative is chronologically written as a story to follow.
I do not always know when to write a note, but I still do it, when watching movies, I personally hate it when they use big words or use complicated words, that nobody knows, it's not fair, it is something people who make movies always do that pisses me off very badly.
Over here, I was going to write the following two lines:

Ketanji Brown Jackson and a Harvard Honorary Degree Idea
12:45 a.m.
Wow!
Ketanji Brown Jackson (born September 14, 1970)[1] is an American attorney, and jurist serving as a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 2021.[2]
Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Miami, Florida, Jackson attended Harvard University for college and law school, where she served as an editor on the Harvard Law Review. She began her legal career with three clerkships, including one with U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer. Prior to her elevation to an appellate court and from 2013 to 2021, she served as a district judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Jackson was also vice chair of the United States Sentencing Commission from 2010 to 2014. Since 2016, she has been a member of the Harvard Board of Overseers.
On February 25, 2022, President Joe Biden announced that Jackson was his nominee for associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, filling the vacancy created by Breyer's retirement.[3]
Well, if you are in the Harvard Board of Overseers, I do have a good case for a honorary Master's degree...

I had a bit of wedding cake from Sarath uncle's daughter's wedding, my mum brought me.

Treating a Preliminary Screening as Rule-Free and Hating the Movie
3:30 a.m.
(c)
I think, as it's a preliminary screening, it is OK, to put in stuff I am not allowed to put in, and I think, it is OK to do whatever the f-ck I want in it.
Without the usual rules, it will be much better, like those baby pig, ribs that Frank Underwood got.
It's just for business anyway. Later it will be done right, really well, for Oscars or cinemas.
I H-TE THIS MOVIE:
It's a terrible, terrible, terrible movie.
