my drug of choice is a pixy stix
Wow. I read a lot of fic this evening. Maybe it's my spiffy new glasses (well, lenses) making the world all sharp again. No wonder I was getting frustrated - my sphere (the basic refractive error) had gone down but my cyl (astigmatic error) had increased, making the fine details a bit smear-y looking. Nothing I'd be able to identify without knowing ( Read more... ) -
In case you've ever wondered what exactly it is I do for a living...
...elmathelas linked me to this awesome classic Peanuts cartoon:
Sally wears a patch
I'll change the link to an image later, but right now I'm at the gym and apparently right-click doesn't work here. Weird. -

A quick roundup:
- Another week has gone by and I still haven't been fired!
- I made an offer on a flat, which was rejected, then upped my offer slightly which has been accepted, so hopefully I will be moving into a place of my own very soon :)

One exam down, four to go *le sigh*
It was pretty good, all things considering, but my stomach decided to have a stress attack as soon as I sat down so I felt pretty nasty all through it. Better now that I've had a sit down, eaten some choccy biccies and read some fanfic. To which I must say:
OMG GO READ THIS NOW. It's an SGA fic by copperbadge called The ( Read more... ) -
Aaaaand... we have internet!
Turns out my placement has wireless internet in the accommodation.
Obviously, this is TOTALLY AWESOME. But it also means that I have a lot more opportunity for procrastination, when I wanted to be writing The Night Tower and maybe even finishing or being nearly there ( Read more... )
