I see I haven't posted in ages. I've been too sucked into work and music to be bothered ranting about the things I would normally rant about on livejournal and I suppose thesession.org is a more interesting way to procrastinate on the internet than self-serving posts about how interesting my life is. Because lets face it, it's really kinda not. When I take up BASE-jumping or something it may well be. Aye, right. This post only exists because I'm at a loss for 1000 words describing to a Historical Institute in London what I am going to be doing next year that justifies a big, cushy fellowship. Anyone (especially academic-types) have an idea how one writes these? Cause I haven't.
On that note, I thought the most recent PhD comic pretty well encapsulated my academic existence (as it does):
