Gah....
I'm day 2 into quitting smoking, and frankly it's a motherfucker. I wasn't a super-heavy smoker but recently I went up to about 8 roll-ups a day, which was beginning to take its toll. I quite like occaisionally smoking, but when it became a habit it lost some of the fun. So I decided to try quitting.
I've not got any patches or chewing...

Whoooo! My Pukkelpop tickets arrived last week, so I'm officially going to see Tool, NIN, The Smashing Pumpkins and a whole load more bands play until my ears bleed. I'm literally ejaculating air, my pleasure nodes are dried out through the excitement, and my literary inhibitions are seemingly falling away too. If anyone else is considering coming to it, get in touch and maybe we...

Just a heads up; one of my friends who shares the office with me at work has finally got his book published It's a beginners guide to Astrobiology, going through what life is, how it might have come about and what exactly the boffins at NASA and other space agencies are doing in order to determine if there is life out there in space. I've...

My free time continues apace, I've completed "Bully" and am moving back to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in a bid to finish what I started. Problem is, I'm trying to cut down/quit smoking and more often than not I just snap and end up doing the usual "lets see how many blown up cars I can stack up before they take me out". Nicotene...

I really do need to get my PS2 out of the box it's been in since August and play Bully, FFXII, God of War 2 and Okami. Unfortunatly I'm too obssesed with Puzzle Quest to play anything else at the moment

good video and I think I could only play Harvest Moon if it had zombies or guns in
I saw Spiderman 3 the other day, and in general enjoyed it. It would have been more suited to my tastes if they edited it as follows:
1. Ms. Dunst shouldn't be allowed to sing
2. All the relationship bits could have been condensed to 5 minutes at the start of the film, so I could go get popcorn.
3. More venom/spidey actions, and more...

I have yet to see spiderman 3, but if its predecessors are anything to go by I fully agree with number two on principle. Number one may make my ears bleed.
Would a man biting a spider not kill it, or am I being too "glass half empty"?

It finally happened, I underwent my PhD viva and survived, so I'm officially now a Dr. ! Hurrah, the wait is over, and the quest to regain my life begins anew. My SG activity was pitifully inadequate over the past few months, but all should be well again now. I am struggling to write anything in my normal prose, the dry language of science pervades...

we've been together almost 8 years so I think it's safe to say we're rushing in to this 
Its not over, not over, not over yet....

Is the thesis actually finished? Or will you have corrections to make?

Hello Edd. Seeing your profile pic makes me want to learn PhotoShop. Bad. Real bad. The things I would do........ So then, are the Eeynip po still out to steel your soul and take over the world? Sounds like a good time. Maybe I'll move to England. I am English afterall. But luckily my parents could afford orthodontia when I was a child. And now one cannot tell that I'm English hehehehe I shouldn't write things like that. That was terribly stereotypical and just dreadful. But true. O.k., I have just fallen in love with the burning rabbit skeleton up above in your friend profile pics and must go seek out it's owner.

You lucky bastard
I'm still cracking away at the thesis, not long now though.....

Happy birthday for friday my friend! Your bovril is in the post.
Last Friday was something special for me...
I finished work, got pressganged to the pub at 5.30 by a band of scurvy dogs from the rival building in my department, and thought things were looking up as I sank the pint in front of me. My girl wanted to do something at 6 so I joined in the discussion about whether tiger penis was an...

You know, that sounds like an awesome night. sounds like you've found yourself a keeper there.
I've recently upset a couple of my friends by slagging off a band on YouTube, so as penance I've decided to post the link to the video here (and on the SG boards):
"My friend's friends formed a new band called Grace and I'd appreciate any comments, good, bad or ugly about them:

Corn Exchange was a BIG let down for me, i was expecting original clothing blah blah, but it was a bit shit. I was pretty hungover though and tried to tackle a full english breakfast, poked at some beans and ate half a round of toast 
Rugby was everything i ever thought it wud be
apart from the rage and random girls standing on the sidelines shouting obscenities it was fun. If only they were naked

mann having a joint wud make me even MORE sick after that, although Leeds was pretty much like Belfast, full of wanabe children wearing black and hanging around the main attractions. On the whole pretty lame time, but I wud go back, if only for the kids on the bus making an exhibition of me because of my pink hair...oh how i love children.
Ha! I thought my time was up, that my account here at SG would be over, but turns out I could afford another year, yay!
My sloppiness at blog writing somewhat depresses me though, in 2 months time hopefully I'll be a blog writing fiend, skillfully articulating tales of unemployment and escapades from the eeynip po jobs page.
Next Tuesday I'm off to see Steve...

Hello my old friend. How are you? How I love your geeky scientist ways. Make sure you escalate any aggressive feelings at the talk I want to see a full blown science riot on news 24. Will you be back in Leeds to be unemployed or elsewhere?

I look forward to reading your tales of sleeping late and watching daytime TV.
