Impressive
This is the PM I want. It's about time!
An absolutely gorgeous calling to account for the sheer fucked up behaviour of Tony Abbott and his leadership of the Opposition. Just beautiful.

A year!
I was trying to figure out all day why today felt significant. Finally got it on the way home from uni - it's a year to the day since I started my MPhil. And what have I achieved? Well, I've gotten through Confirmation, the harrowing process of being confirmed as an MPhil, where before I was a provisional student. I've written a couple of chapters ( Read more... ) -
Curiosity on Mars
That was pretty amazing to watch. I watched via NASA's live feed. And no, there was nothing in my eyes AT ALL when confirmation of landing and then the first pictures came through. AT ALL.
Curiosity on Twitter. Very amusing feed!
Living in the future is sometimes just ACES. :D
:D

Feeling a tad run down this morning. I've had a really big couple of weeks - in terms of moving about that is... getting out of the house for uni or seeing friends and I'm tired. I'm writing again today with my supervisor on an article that will be submitted to a journal soon. It's a lot of my stuff so she wants me to be first author - which is ( Read more... ) -
Confirmed!
I had my confirmation interview yesterday and it went swimmingly. A couple of questions and explanations wanted but nothing to curly. A couple of practical questions had me thinking and there's still a tonne of literature I want to wade through, but I'm pretty much sitting nicely in my theoretical framework (according to the committee and ( Read more... ) -
Confirming things...
I've been awfully quiet here over the last little while. Hm.
Mostly this is due to the process leading up to confirmation. No, it's not a religious thing (I purposefully skipped that bit back in my Catholic days), it's the first milestone for my masters degree. It involves a presentation (which went well! I have had many compliments! People in other ( Read more... ) -
WOE.
So, Queensland lost it's collective mind today with the State election. The LNP did more than win by a landslide, it bodysurfed that landslide on top of a village and left crying widows in it's wake.
The ALP (who were the party in at state, and are the party in at federal) lost 44 seats. FORTY FOUR. That is Quite a Lot. And now, Campbell Newman is ( Read more... )
