Papers, Please…just no essays
Writing, for me, has become exactly what I was trying to avoid. A chore. This semester has been a lot busier than I expected. Who ever said a Masters was supposed to be hard work? Three 3,000 word essays, two presentations, and long lab days in between, and my project is yet to yield any…

Sad Times and Halloween
Last week was completely hectic. I’ve spent most of this week winding down after it, and sorting out things I didn’t manage to get done. My grandmother passed away on the 27th of October, and it just so happened that some of my relatives were coming over to visit for Halloween on the Wednesday of…

Canoeing and Adjusting
I’m pretty good with jet lag. Being young helps a lot, and slipping into a normal routine as soon as possible. This time it was easy, as we arrived in the evening, but last year our flight came in before lunchtime, and we had a full day ahead of us. The first full day has…

Empire Business
Empire Business “I’m not in the website business, I’m in the empire building business” – Not a quote by Walter White, from Breaking Bad. My mum launched her new website last week, with a little help from your ordinarydecentgamer, over at newforgetherapies.com. This is not a shameless plug, by the way, but I found it…

2 Years and still going strong! (Sort of…)
Damn you Curse of Monkey Island! Old adventure games are an easy target, and one I’m using in particular to blame for not having anything written this evening. I did do other things today, including baking brownies and knitting, but no writing at all. It’s a shame, because today is the second anniversary of my…

Almost Forgotten – Writing Challenge Day Three
Tree-Hugging Almost, but not quite forgotten. The challenge, that is. Today has been a busier day than I intended, filled with exciting things like breakfast, birch tea, tree-hugging, talking about films, and a tiny bit of driving on a horrible night that should belong in the middle of a deep dark Winter somewhere far away…

Part Two – Writing Challenge Day Two
Cathedral Quarter Where to go next? That’s the real question. Cathedral Quarter seems like as good a bet as any, and St Anne’s square to have a look round the MAC. It’s a place I’m yet to visit, but I’ve heard good things. Cathedral Quarter is the place to go for anything artsy, or, cathedral-y.…

Blue skies and White Coats
As I was walking back from the hospital in the muggy weather in far too heavy clothes, and with a far too heavy bag, I encountered a rather odd bunch of people. They didn’t look vastly different from you or I, the difference was in their clothing. Something rather peculiar was printed on the back,…

Holidays and so on
I have been lazy. Lazy and busy. Exactly how lazy I’ve been compared to how busy I have been is up for debate, but the general gist is that I either haven’t had much time, or I’ve been out of the country. I did not even get a chance to wrap-up my little bit on…
