Hi Internet ( Read more... )

Well, my life currently sucks hairy donkey balls.  The best part is when I can fall into my work, and lose myself in restoring order to old chain mail, or cleaning some old knitted textile.  Mostly, I'm distant, trying to stay away from myself, and how exhausted I am, and how this feels like it might be for nothing, since it may soon be impossible ( Read more... )

Hello internets!

Please to be noting my user icon.  October baseball is the BEST baseball.  (Even though there aren't really any postseason day games, so I just wind up reading recaps the next day :(  Sadly, it's not worth staying up and getting only three or four hours of sleep...)

Things aren't too bad.  I have a new flatmate, who is absolutely ( Read more... )

Hello internet!

Ooops, it's been awhile, hasn't it?  I had the Summer of Awesome, but apparently that's harder to write about than you'd think.  I'll try to give a highlights reel, starting from now.

If you happen to hear a sighing sound coming from South Wales, that's me, giving a full-body sigh of relief regularly, as I gaze about me, wide-eyed in ( Read more... )

Hi Internet!

Crap, it's been ages, hasn't it?  If it helps, I have some e-mails that have been waiting for responses even longer.

Things are okay.  Within the next month I'll have completed and turned in two essays, a GIS project, another project (powerpoint and a small essay), masses of writing on all the objects I worked on this year and a 5,000- ( Read more... )

I'm a real rugby player now!

...just not much worth writing about :) I'm in a generally sweeter frame of mind after reading week, which makes me (and presumably everyone around me) that much happier. Fighting a slight cold, but that's more obnoxious because I have suddenly transformed into someone who gets man-flu, and moans and whinges about having a blocked-up nose ( Read more... )

Yesterday was just a Good Day, one of the rare lovely ones.  The experiment I was running came up with actual results, and I got so much done in lab; there's lots more to do, but I'm feeling more like I know how to think about these things.  And then an absolutely cracking practice -- lots of being pushed, and hard work and lots of tackles, but it ( Read more... )

I continued my descent into 50's housewifery by whipping up a pasta salad for tonight in about fifteen minutes*.  Hooray for a little middle America (om nom mayonnaise) at tonight's get-together, to celebrate our collective last night of freedom until December.  And then, tomorrow, I'm into the lab at 9:30 am.

While mildly trepidatious, mostly I'm ( Read more... )

~  Stitches are out!  Everything was well-closed-up by Thursday, and I kept pulling the sutures, so I picked up a pair of tweezers and nail scissors, and took 'em out at my kitchen table.  Not quite ten minutes of work with my non-dominant hand -- 'cos I'm 'ard like that, mun.

(Actually, it was pitiful.  I literally couldn't feel a thing, watching ( Read more... )
