(What do you mean, it’s Thursday already? So I’m keeping up my long tradition of never updating my diary on time…) Underneath my desk there are now four boxes: Box 1: Registered books, all labelled and ready for release. Box 2: Books still waiting to be registered (I needed a MUCH longer weekend!) Box 3:…
Ok, so I’m a bit late with the meetup report, but I’ve been busy. Work mostly (it’s end of term, plus we’re in full-on planning mode for our exciting new structure next year (wow, you can hardly even hear the cynicism in my voice when I say that, can you?)), but also more fun things…
Went to visit lytteltonwitch at the hospital tonight. She’s looking about as well as can be expected after surgery, which by the sound of things was a bit more complicated than they expected. She was hoping to get out tomorrow, but it looks like they’re going to keep her in for a few more days….
…but sometimes I do 🙂 1] Who was your FIRST prom date?Harry Johnston. The Number 1 Geek of our class (I was Number Two). I didn’t really want to go with him (we were friends, but that was definitely it as far as I was concerned), but it obviously took him so much effort to…
(FutureCat slinks back into the room after a long silence. Life’s just like that sometimes.) Yesterday a very rare occurrence happened – I actually caught a book in the wild. I of course pick up books at meetups and conventions all the time, and through various forms of controlled release, but if I can’t count…

We’ve discovered a great new internet game, called Geodashing. It’s a bit like Geocaching, in that you follow gps coordinates to obscure places, but there’s no cache. Geodashing is all about the journey. And a new GPS game was all the excuse lytteltonwitch, rarsberry and I needed for an expedition. We checked out the 40…
Well the snow didn’t last very long – rain on Saturday evening meant it was pretty much gone by morning. Oh well, at least it was white and pretty for a couple of hours… At least I managed to get out on Sunday for my planned release walk (with a secondary aim of a bit…
[We interrupt this broadcast (before I’ve even written more than the title) to say I just looked out the window, and it’s snowing! It’s been threatening rain all morning, and started to drizzle about 20 minutes ago, but it’s suddenly turned into snow – and quite heavy for Christchurch, too. I don’t know if it’ll…
