While I’m uploading pics from my phone — behold the striking resemblance between Dr Chad and Bill Bailey! (I’ve mentioned this similarity in an earlier post — now I have the photo to prove it!)Come on, admit it: they’re twins. At least fraternal twins, then.Cousins?Long-lost cousins, then.Fine. They’re fourteenth cousins, twice removed.Sigh.All right. They’re both…… Continue reading Separated at birth

I gots me some purdy new specs…
They’re kinda coppery and metallic (much like the shower stall in the background — d’oh!)
Rant #3

Weather for Adelaide SA17°CCurrent:Mostly CloudyWind: W at 18 km/hHumidity: 55%Thu21°C | 9°CMy landlord’s wife has had the dryer running for the past 3…… Continue reading Rant #3
Happiness…
There’s nothing better than getting a delivery of books in the mail. Few things make me happier, really. So this afternoon, when I was feeling sorry for myself because I had just written a load of crap (see previous post), the fates intervened and sent the sweetest little delivery man, whose flimsy arms were laden…… Continue reading Happiness…
Explanation for my hiatus…
I might have mentioned this already, but I’m on a mission to churn out two of my thesis chapters before heading to Brisbane in January. Actually, I’d like to have them well-churned before Christmas so that I can have a bit of a holiday with the lovely Dr Sexington before I abandon him for 6…… Continue reading Explanation for my hiatus…
I jinxed Paul Newman
So tired this morning. We went to a fondue night on Saturday (mmmmm…. cheesy goodness…..) and stayed up way too late, drank just enough splurgundy, slept on the floor, and woke to a bone-crunchingly deflated air mattress after not nearly enough sleep. Long gone are the days that I can do that sort of thing without suffering…… Continue reading I jinxed Paul Newman
Behold!
(Picture nicked from catsparx)Behold the glory that is the Canterbury 2100 anthology. Now that there’s cover art (by Nick Stathopoulos) the book is officially real. Can’t wait to see it in three dimensions… It’s being launched at Conflux in early October (an event I would love to attend, but instead I will be locked in a…… Continue reading Behold!
Me and a Velociraptor
Thanks to Cat Sparks…I could survive for 1 minute, 19 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor
Happiness Forum
So a few of my girlfriends have decided that they want to run a ‘Happiness Forum’ a couple of weeks from now. I know, it sounds like a load of new-age wishy-wash, but I think it might be fun (especially since plenty of splurgundy will be imbibed while we gush about happiness. If alcohol doesn’t…… Continue reading Happiness Forum
Thesis week…
I’ve taken this week off work so that I can get some serious thesis chapter writing done.Clearly I’m doing well, considering it’s Monday morning and I’m already blogging instead of writing about nationalism in the Middle Ages. (Was there a sense of nationalism in medieval Iceland? Is it possible for early modern societies to be…… Continue reading Thesis week…
