This may be the final post in this journal. I have passed my viva and am now Dr javafox, which is the culmination of many years of hard work. I'm not sure what else I have left to say here, and this place seems to be getting spammy and so different to how it was ten years ago. Ten years! A passport's worth of time ( Read more... )

I have just written something ridiculously smutty, and am tempted to post it here. I worry I may offend the delicate reader, however, as said smut contains scenes of an adult nature, and words and actions and thoughts which not everyone will find a turn-on.

I think I need to lock this journal though.

Last Sunday I participated in my first ever half marathon event. It was not a 'race' as such, because it was in reality a walk to raise money for breast cancer charities. But I treated it as a bit of a race, because I wanted to see how quickly I could power walk a half marathon. And it turns out that I can walk thirteen point one miles in under ( Read more... )

For someone so concerned with power dynamics in my other writing, you'd think that the power section in my theory chapter would be easy peasy, lemon squeezy. But it's not.

That's all I wanted to say right now.

Man, I miss the early days of LJ when you didn't get spam comments if you mentioned certain trigger words. I guess we shall never return to those naive and simple days of talking at length about certain electronic devices, certain pharmaceutical goods, or certain pop stars who attract a great deal of media attention ( Read more... )

An old, dear friend has requested I come back to LJ, so I'm really going to make an effort to do so. I miss her, and I kind of miss this place. I hadn't really looked around for a long time, and it's really changed! Thankfully this interface isn't so different, but sheesh. Though okay I guess fair enough, it's been a while since this site has ( Read more... )

Hah well I reckon I should start updating more often in this journal, because otherwise it might just be overtaken by spam hacker phishing comments, like the one I just deleted. Fuckers. Piss off with your hacking spam phishing bullshit! This is a live journal, as in active, as in I sporadically post. There is no home here for scrotal sacks like ( Read more... )

My interruption was approved :-) Much relief from time pressure. Still working toward goal of submitting thesis on 31 Aug 2011, but now it's not SO crucial if I take a few more months to solidify my argument and tighten writing in chapters. I recently attended a workshop at my university called "The Viva", which was extraordinarily helpful with ( Read more... )

I have to admit, I'd very nearly forgotten about this journal, but how could I forget about my dear old LJ? So many good times spent here ( Read more... )

So I'm still mostly asleep and my eye is still wonky (like looking through gauze). I'm drinking coffee and listening to reggae. It's a good day so far ( Read more... )
