Friday Four
1. Reminiscing. Yesterday I had a short but quite massive catchup up with someone from PhD days (works at Other Uni but comes down here occasionally and was down yesterday to give a seminar, but haven't managed to catch up in the 5+ years we've both been in same city). Was good and kinda funny. Lots of stories about going back west, avoiding Jim, who's where now, who's here now, etc. Although not great for my case of status anxiety... Was good tho, will try to catch up again.
2. Scariness. Had scary computer crash on Tues. Blue screen. Lack of restarting. Harsh and violent hardware sounds. Went and had a blueberry danish and let it have a rest. It's the same PC I've had for 5 years and I thought it might actually be time for it to move on, but when I came back, it was fine. Was kinda interesting that I didn't really worry about losing data. I have so many copies all over the place nowadays - a couple of memory sticks, laptop, email accounts...at most I might've lost 2 days of work... But was still a little jolting.
3. Tastelessness. The blueberry danish was from the Posh Cafe. Was very very disappointing. The pastry was dry and tasteless. The alleged blueberries were a pureed mush like a faux and flavourless blueberry jam, with nary a sign of actual fruit.
4. Uh-oh. Was trying to do a "Friday Five", but ran out.
