To think, at noon on Friday I was just sitting down to a Crystalline Solids lecture, confident that my work was going well and that there’d be a fun afternoon ahead. Then, it all went WEIRD. In many, many ways. That Loki has a lot to answer for. But mostly,...
And now, if I may, I will sleep. Given the circumstances it would be somewhat shallow of me to wish to bestow “sweet” dreams upon us all, so I’ll make do with “appropriate” ones instead. Although “Night night, appropriate dreams” doesn’t have much of a ring to it.
Today went mostly from okay to cool to awesome to ARGH MY BRAIN HURTS. This morning I went to lectures, and helped Racheet get a newly-acquired computer home from Highfield. That was okay. Then we spent most of the afternoon fiddling with said computer, geek shopping and eating lots of...
Recently, I’ve been feeling awfully… separated, detached from reality. It feels as though when I talk to people I’m not talking to them properly, and when I do things they don’t properly happen. It could be as though the world is just ever so slightly tinged with a kind of...
That was a weird dream. A weird sequence of dreams, in fact. No less than five tiems did I wake up and go back to sleep, and in each period of sleep the dream continued from where it left off. I pretty much slept through my two lectures this morning...

It opens. ~New Adventure: “Attic Exploration” START!~ Pushing the hatch open with a quarterstaff revealed only blackness...
I’m glad, so very glad, that times like this exist. Should I ever forget how wonderful my friends are and what a fantastic time I’m capable of having, all I need to do is remember days like today. I’ve decided now, I think, what life means; what’s worth striving for....
Lesson One. Do not go to bed with the beginnings of a headache. For at least two hours I drifted between sleeping and waking, while all the time the headache got worse. Every tiny fragment of sleep contained a dream in which the headache was explained by ever more disturbing...
I’ve just arrived home after running the third session of my Dreaming Awake tabletop game. And holy haddock, it just got really awesome. The players are finally beginning on the road to realising how the world works and what their place is in it - starting to accept that they...
