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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...

Ah, the end of another Bournemouth Meet. A successful one, if my standards are anything to go by (which of course they really aren’t). My recovery from illness - for now, anyway - proved just in time for the descent of no less than 13 friends on what for the...
I guess I was kind of caught off guard by the amount of sympathy I’ve recieved since that last post ^_^; I guess I’d be lying if I didn’t say that it helped a bit, so thank you everyone! It turns out that I couldn’t get a doctor’s appointment for...
Apologies if I keep this brief, sitting in a chair feels most undesirable at the moment. Today marks the second day I’ve spent off work, and at this rate I’ll be doing likewise tomorrow as well. I’ll explain the history to this one, in case it’s relevant. Around two months...
So, today was… fun. Not quite what I was expecting when I made the morning odyssey to work… As usual, I was getting odd looks from passers-by and the guards at the front gate, but then as I’m someone who carries an umbrella over one shoulder even on quite sunny...
