I don’t know if people have heard but apparently, male users of laptops are at risk of becoming infertile. Well, I think this is stupid. Basically, if you use a laptop on your lap, it’s supposed to raise the temperature of the, ahem, gonads so that they explode or something.
Quick! Do something about it! Like… [...]

Isn’t this pretty:
It’s some of the growth data from my clover experiments, showing how differently treated plants grew over the course of my experiment. Today’s been the most disgusting day I’ve had for ages, and it’s all my fault. It’s really weird, yesterday I was in such a good mood, and today I’ve been the [...]

People that know me may have noticed that I have two moles on my right cheek.
Well not any more!
This morning I managed to shave one right off. It doesn’t hurt, but it is bleeding copiously.

Right, so I’m sick of my degree. Well, no, I’m not really. I don’t know. Everything seems to have exploded at once. Tried to collect my data so I can actually write something for a change, instead of just sitting about and the lab’s locked. Why on Earth is it locked!?! It’s never locked! Maybe [...]

This morning I woke up and shouted something. I really have no recollection of what it was, I think it was one of those funny sleep things that I sometimes do.
Anyway, evidently one of my neighbours (whose bathroom is right next to my room) heard me because he shouted something back.

Just did a dictionary.com search for ‘bint’ to follow up on a previous blog entry. It means ‘woman’ or ‘girl’ and is “Chiefly British & Offensive”. Anyway, googled the word ‘bint’ and came up with this:
Welcome to bint magazine, the weekly online magazine for women. Are you a bint? Take our test and find out.

Last time I stayed up really funny things happened in my lecture the next morning. I kept half-falling asleep in the middle of writing something, and when I looked at what I’d ‘written’ it was just gibberish. Ha ha! I’ll try to find some and scan it, hang about…
In the image above, I think I [...]

Well… today, a lovely brand new washing machine arrived at our house. This is a replacement for the one that finally gave up the ghost, after a long battle with being rubbish, over two weeks ago.
Oh yes, the old one was absolutely hopeless. Half way through our first year (December-time, back in 2002) it started [...]

There is lots of moss on our kitchen roof. I actually think it is amazing. My crappy fallapart digital camera doesn’t really do it justice, but here is a photo.
It’s always fun to stand on my bed and look out my window (I invite you to do it sometime), and the moss on the roof [...]

Or rather not wearing glasses. I was walking home tonight, not wearing my glasses, when I looked up and saw, in the middle of the road, some kind of small animal walking across the road, pausing a while, then continuing. There was a car approaching, and I wondered if I should warn it about the [...]
