Seven songs from the tundra

Sanna — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:17:00 GMT

Given I'm a champion procrastinator (so far today I've baked a quiche and a cake and done the dishes twice), and fellow Knowledge Pimp/Wondergrad Danica posted a meme on her blog papercut heart today, I thought I might as well volunteer for tagging. I...(read more)

If I were the Headmaster of Hogwarts

Sanna — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 07:01:00 GMT

1. The Sorting Hat would have to go. On the one hand, the houses have caused nothing but awfulness throughout the history of time. If Slytherin is supposed to be the nest of all evil, why continue to place only the shrewdest students in it? Still, I can...(read more)

Sanna — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 04:50:00 GMT

Rules: 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules. 4. At the end of...(read more)

A Day in the Life: Red Eye

Sanna — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 14:58:00 GMT

Well, after some computer problems and brain malfunctionings I stopped work and any pretensions that I was being productive around five. At sevenish, after Ben had popped home quickly before fencing, I started listening to a radio discussion on Kaurismaki,...(read more)

A Day in the Life: Tea break

Sanna — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 06:04:00 GMT

Well, not that I'm having tea yet, but plan to, as soon as I send this off. So far I have, of course, done nothing about my thesis. I have instead been doing some research (finding articles but not actually reading them) for my teaching research project,...(read more)

A Day in the Life: Lunch

Sanna — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 03:58:00 GMT

For lunch I shall consume: 1 x 3-minute macaroni&cheese - where the 'cheese' is of the instant just-add-water variety which may or may not be edible. It still coutns as a food group though, right? 1 x glass homemade lemonade. We have a prolific lemon...(read more)

A Day in the Life

Sanna — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 02:55:00 GMT

Now, my grand plan was to do lots and lots of work today so I could blog to the world how fantastically productive and organised I am. Instead, I only managed to get out of bed at 9.30 (in my defence last night's meeting went on until 10pm, which meant...(read more)

Challenge: A Day in the Life

Sanna — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 14:58:00 GMT

This is me reminding myself and any readers (are we all being strangely quiet on the blog front in solidarity with Tama's newly found wedded bliss?) to take up Karen's challenge : What do research students actually do? [...] [On] Wednesday 20 June [...]...(read more)

Neo, there is no work space...

Sanna — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 13:47:00 GMT

Right, here's (finally?) a picture of my workspace. However, this photo is really more about how I experience my work space. Much more indicative of my personality, don't you think? ;-)...(read more)

God, grammar and meme

Sanna — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 08:34:00 GMT

Drawing inspiration from Karen, I'll meme today as well. Although this one is from munkey - if you don't limit yourself to just one word-answers you can spend a lot more time on it... :-) *** 1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was...(read more)
