The Monday after a good weekend always seems so confusing. I get mumbly and disorientated. I wonder what good 'one-of-the-most-social-weekends-I've-ever-had' does if it doesn't distinguish at least SOME of the awkward weekday moments. I can't read people on Monday's. A good weekend DOES allow you to accept the awkwardness with an occasional smile, ( Read more... )

It is my fourth night here in Alice Springs, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. For those of you who didn't know, I have been sent up here (Alice Springs Hospital) for a week to do some sleep studies. It was a little stressful orientating myself, as I had to setup 4 different portable EEG systems in an area I had never been to (I'm the only one who ( Read more... )

Belle & Sebastian have become associated with the advent of short Autumn days and cold, isolated, rugged-up walks into the city night. Their lovely melodies provide such a warmth, as if by Glaswegian neccessity. I shunned them over the summer, as I found that having them on my mp3 player would get sickening after a short time ( Read more... )

Just a monthly update to let you all know that I'm still alive. Partially. Still working full-time. The next month will see a 4 week block of 40 hours. You see, it's when I do 4 nights in a row that I start feeling out of it. Luckily, the past few weekends with Bec have been quite relaxing, and seem to boost me for the week ahead. I've now got ( Read more... )

I had one of those lively weekends, where (if you, too, are bipolar) a flurry of activity and sleeplessness was followed by a certain lull come Monday (both in energy and mood). It's a good thing work occurs during the week. I finally got the chance to (attempt to) sleep in a park on Saturday morning when I found myself to be locked out with Keren ( Read more... )

Melbourne was jam-packed with activities. St. Jerome's was pretty good. Work was sleepy last night. This week has been somewhat more introspectively depressing. I woke up today feeling distanced from my normal hum-drum ways. I noticed a few things about my self that have formed as growths on me over the past 1 1/2 months of full-time work. It's ( Read more... )

I think evolution is a beautiful, yet brutal system. I think there is an inherent moral code in everybody but that it only evolved to serve one's own genes. Hence...

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian
