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 have also been told to update this here blog more often, so that other people may ...

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 understand that in a boarding school environment, a ''house'' can really be the equivalent of ...

Ditto conditions.  1. I travelled as a child - particularly memorable moments: standing on a sand dune in the sahara, riding a horse to see the pyramids at saqqara,skiing in Tehran and avoiding nuns in a playground in Melbourne. 2. My early ambition to be a flying doctor transmogriphying into finding a cure for ...

You know the rules already, and everyone else has been tagged already, so I'll just post the eight things. 1. I have only ever broken one bone - my right femur. This happened when I was ten years old whilst riding my bicycle. I spent 6 1/2 weeks in traction in PMH and a further 2 weeks trying to learn how to use crutches. 2. I have lived in ...

I just realised to forgot to forward the meme. Anyone on myResearchSpace not already tagged, consider yourself it!

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, the director I'm ''writing'' on. My parents recorded the program for me a couple of months ...

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, and hoping I get the OK to proceed with it in its new form. Long story. Basically I want to ...

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 tree, and husband dearest brought ina bucketful of the most easily reachable fruit over the ...
