Saturation Point

Written on Thursday 1 Sep 2005

Today, I am full of thoughts and chemicals. I drink more coffee than is probably good for me, I know that much, but today caffeine and stuffiness and humidity and people and work and, well, everything, just seemed to crush me under their weight. I had to stop work and...

Have Another Story

Written on Monday 29 Aug 2005

Started work on Friday, finally - I think - finished it today. Thanks to Claire for suggesting improvements! Echoes of a Dream

Emotions Hidden in Twilight

Written on Monday 29 Aug 2005

I understand less and less about the way she feels with every passing hour, despite people’s best efforts. Right now, I’d settle for knowing how I feel, let alone her. I didn’t realise it would feel quite like this…

Of Azure Skies and Golden Wings

Written on Monday 29 Aug 2005

And so, at the end of a painful week, Friday passed in an instant, no more substantial than anything that I experience in that soulless and dreamless weekday world. The train to Southampton was filled with dreams as if I was catching up; making up for lost alarm-punctuated time. No...

From Dawn 'til Dusk

Written on Thursday 25 Aug 2005

I left home before dawn today, and now the sun is setting over the horizon as I return thirteen hours later. It’s been a long day, no doubt, but a successful one. The conference was a fantastic success, and I learned a lot - including about a plan for creating...

Three Days Remain

Written on Tuesday 23 Aug 2005

For some reason, the facts that it is not Friday and that I am not currently in Southampton are verging on painful. Damnit - hurry up, weekend! Before that, though, Thursday looms. We’re hosting a conference at work, attended by some of the most important people in neuroscience. People who,...

Dislocation

Written on Monday 22 Aug 2005

It’s dark now, when I get up, and it doesn’t feel like morning at all. The feeling was even stronger today, though - it feels almost as if my mind and body are somehow separated. I don’t feel that I’m hearing all the sounds that I should hear, nor seeing...

Waiting for the HSBC Lynching Squad

Written on Sunday 21 Aug 2005

So, currently… I’m on my overdraft limit, I owe my parents £40 and there’s already £60 on my credit card. I have two weeks, including - hopefully - a trip to Southampton, in which I can spend precisely nothing. Not a very fun situation to be in. My wallet contains...

Gotta' Love My Parents' House

Written on Wednesday 17 Aug 2005

My ping just topped five and a half seconds. It’s like torture, but not as interesting… I’m sure Satan is preparing a special hell for me, where there’s nothing but pay-per-minute 56k dialup for eternity. EDIT: Already we have a new record! =p 64 bytes from 216.239.59.147: icmp_seq=559 ttl=242 time=14428...

This Week's Challenge

Written on Monday 15 Aug 2005

Recently, since I’ve been staying at my parents’ house, I’ve been walking near a lot of the places I used to go as a child, and the close encounters have been sparking a lot of memories in my mind. Therefore, my mission for this week (or even this summer/early autumn...
