The tickets for the BNL concert have arrived (yey!), so this is a note-to-self-and-anyone-else-going-with: just to make sure I don't forget where they are between now and March, I have put them in the desk drawer in my bedroom.

Had a mystery powercut for half an hour today, which (among other things) has set off someone's house alarm down the street - not the best of security features. Word managed to recover most of my work, but unfortunately the new Firefox installation seems to have interfered with its ability to restore previous windows after being shut down suddenly ( Read more... )

It's been aaaaaages since my last update (sometime in October, I think), for which there's little excuse. I've been pretty busy, but a lot of the time, I've thought to myself "oh, that'd make a good lj entry" but couldn't be bothered to write it up, and somehow the procrastination fed on itself. Ah well. The last few months in (sanitised) bullet ( Read more... )

I've had a long day of paper-chasing, which has resulted in the departmental secretary for Chem knowing me by name. Ah well. I guess my reputation is doomed to be one of ditziness. On the plus side, I think I got all the initial stuff sorted, and now there's only experimental paperwork (COSHH and DSEAR assessments, etc.) and write-ups to deal with ( Read more... )

Urgh. In addition to my aforementioned idiocy concerning my wallet and the inappropriate places I might've left it, I've just had a morning of headless chickenery (like "chicanery", only I'm the object of it, as opposed to the subject, which in this case is probably the universe at large). Anyway, I got to the safety lecture on time this morning, ( Read more... )

I probably should've mentioned that I've now moved into the House Of Crack, which is currently occupied by myself, alinak and davechicken. And I've *finally* unpacked. Mostly. There are still things to be nailed into the walls (but no people), but otherwise all's sorted. I've actually been back a couple of days, but since I've been so scattered that I've taken to ( Read more... )

Random scene from the House of Crack:

"You savaged Mr. Flibble and now he's damp!"

Back from the States. Sooooo jet-lagged. I hate night flights (because I can't sleep on planes), but not as much as I currently hate Continental Airlines. Spent about five hours napping once I got back, all of which should have been spent packing. Which, for the record, I also hate. Have to be up at o'early-thirty tomorrow (ick) to drive back to ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, davechicken!!! Hope you have a really marvellous day ( Read more... )

In a very short while, I am going to have over 12 inches of my hair cut off.

*whimpers quietly*

(just pray I don't come back looking like the bunny o'fear in the icon...)
