(although I did spend the afternoon at a 2 year old’s birthday party, so it was a close-run thing for a bit…) I’ve been getting the odd nudge and query as to my continued existence, so I thought I’d better drop in briefly and reassure everyone that yes, I’m still alive, and I’m not avoiding…
erm started this week, and I’m already swamped with work (it’s worrying when the lecturer says she’s going to give you a nice easy reading for the first week, and it’s 40 pages long (and that’s not counting the two “optional” readings that go with it…). Yeah, I kind of forgot just how hard Honours…
I’m waiting for some files to process, so a quick chance for an update while I’ve got nothing better to do… Thanks everyone for your kind words about my cousin. A bit more detail has emerged about the crash, but they still seem not to completely know what happened. At this stage it sounds like…
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Fuzzle was here for most of the first week – it was great to see her, and we had loads of fun (plus she cooked the most amazing enchilladas for dinner one night – who knew she’d turn out such a good cook after all those barely edible…
ne of the nicer side-effects of the earthquakes is that because we lost almost all of the city’s arthouse cinemas, the mainstream cinemas have started showing a broader range of films to cater to some of that market.

K, I get the hint Mum – time I posted something. My only excuse is my usual one: Honours is hard and I have no life. Yeah, I’ve been saying that a lot lately, but study is definitely taking up a huge proportion of my time, and not leaving a lot left for anything else….
really have nothing to say, but I just stumbled across this amazing site while searching for something completely different, and had to quickly post something just to have the excuse to use one of her gorgeous drop-caps. So I suppose I should think of something to fill up a paragraph or two to make it…
This could be why I’ve got no life at the moment: I’ve taken the day off work to attempt to get an essay written, and that’s the reading pile I’ve accumulated for it (the books, though they look impressive, are not the biggest bit – most of them I’m only using one chapter from –…
Yesterday was not the best birthday ever. For a start, deadlines and panics meant I had to go to work, and it was a frustrating day with all sorts of technical problems putting us even further behind (though on the plus side, one of the analysts did go out and get pastries for afternoon tea…
We’re finally getting round to having the 1950s wiring in our house replaced (I’m so looking forward to having more than one power outlet per room – finally an end to the maze of extension cables and multiboards we live our life off!), so had the electrician round on Saturday to do a walkthrough of…
