Rules are made to be broken. or stabbed with a pointy shoe.

Briefly, a request: if you’re going to email me (and I like email, I really do, and all evidence to the contrary I do eventually reply), please let me know an address I can reply to?
-points at RIB in particular-
Tried to respond. Can’t. No email addy. Bad RIB…
And whilst I’m on the subject, Ceres, can [...]

that’s not all i do - i gave a penguin a bath today!

I suppose that this could have waited, but I wanted to share now, darg-nabbit!
Once more, the lab has much to answer for: somehow, in between being thumped and patted by the Belgian; making endless cups of tea; giving my supervisor even more reason to believe I am off my rocker (most of the faculty are [...]

it doesn’t mean we’re engaged or anything

It seems that my musing duties must now be extended to cover Jeff (the person formally known as Option 2). We were all in the lab last night, doing our thing, ostensibly frantically working on our projects, but also having a laugh and generally doing whatever we could to avoid work. Fairly frequently I had [...]

You think a little head-jiggle is supposed to make me happy?

Now I understand the need to trail films - sometimes they are the most enjoyable bit of a film - but to trail a film an entire year (and a day) before it is released?! That is possibly a mite excessive, don’t you think? Well, whatever you, me, and the rest of the sane world [...]

People develop strange habits when they spend their working lives in dark rooms

Mwhahahahaha!
My cunning plan has worked: Moose is now a self-proclaimed RSS junkie as well.
Seeing as how I think RSS is a good thing, I thought it would be good of me to make public what the RSS feed for this site is (working on the prinicple that, if I don’t tell you, someone is going [...]

Young, Stupid, and Easy To Catch

- edit: apparently the first picture wasn’t platypussy enough. And yes, I have a reason for wanting a picture of a platypus, other than it just being a cool name for an animal! -
Once more, it is going to be an odd’s-and-sod’s type of post. Once more, this is because I really should be doing [...]

Maybe Cunning Squirrels Have Taken Over

I don’t know why this amused me, but it did. I opened up a new pack of quick-cook spaghetti today (no matter what it says on the packet, normal pasta always takes nearer 20 minutes than 10 to cook) and was confronted by a curly piece of spaghetti. But, I hear you cry, isn’t spaghetti [...]

I Need A Better Filing System

Not a coherent post today, due to me actually doing some work for once! But this little collection of interesting bits and pieces has been building up on in my ‘blog-bits’ file for a week or so now. Time for a clear out… Oh, and before I forget, for the purposes of this blog, in [...]

Would It Help If We Ran Away Some More?

Just got back from watching Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll do my best not to give too much away, and I won’t even bother giving a synopsis because, unless you’ve kept your head firmly under the pillow these last few weeks/months, you know pretty much all there is to know about it anyway. My thoughts? Well, [...]

Are You Suggesting Coconuts Migrate?

It would seem that my will to blog is currently somewhat under the weather. I don’t think that it is a terminal state of affairs, but it has certainly booked an appointment with the GP (that’s the family doctor for the silly American’s out there), just to check things out, maybe get a shot of [...]
