Well yes, i'm sitting here in Jindabyne, realising I got myself more internet time than i needed and feeling utterly shitty about things.  I ran around in the snow today and then slid down hills without any sort of tobbogan type device and also got some productive science done but none of that relates to why i feel utterly shitty.  I've basicly ( Read more... )

Well, for a long time, i've wondered why left wing values all occured in people together.  eg, why aren't there any racist environmentalists.  Well now I realise there are:

Well, seems like nobody posts on LJ anymore. I guess facebook has killed it, a pity really, cause facebook sucks a fair bit. Oh well, I don't have the time to go LJing in protest.

Ok, lets see how long this lasts before I start to feel sick. Significantly less time than the battery will I daresay. I’m typing this up on the train back from Canberra, where I’ve had a less exciting than expected week at the Australian National Insect Collection. I had hopes for this trip, despite my distaste for my Jindabyne forays I thought ( Read more... )

Ok, to continue where I left off...
47.  I've also just last nigth discovered an humourous, highly innacurate take off of wikipedia called uncyclopedia ( www.uncyclopedia.com) and its incredibly cool.
48.  I just noticed then that the word "encyclopedia" has the word "cyclops" in it, just without the s at the end.  I like that.
49.  I fancy myself a ( Read more... )

Well, I've been down to yonder mountains twice now, and sadly didn't have a good time of it.  Tall mountains with bits of snow on top are cool, but they loose some of that cool once you've walked up and down them 9 time in five days.  I freak out about too much of whats going on as well, always second guessing my accuracy.  I think "field sceintist ( Read more... )

Were it not for a hold up in the delivery of one of the chemicals to fill my ant traps I would right now be somewhere between here and Jindabyne, in a direction more towards Jindabyne than here. Alas, there has been such a hold up, so my trip shall not begin til tomorrow ( Read more... )

Well, I daresay it's probably worth putting up a post to inform the general readership with whom is isn't likely to come up in conversation with that, as of two days ago, I am single. Mmm, that sounds a little sleazier than intended (in a "Hey ladies, I'm single" type way, which it's not intended as) but yes, the general gist of it is there - Kate ( Read more... )

Ok, despite the existence of .gl at the end of Greenland websites, it's not quite a real country. It has no embassy and all it's foreign affairs are taken care of by Holand. Just thought I should clear all that up ( Read more... )

I've got a thing for places I've never been. Last night before I went to sleep I was reading one of the many ant books I've been recently reading and came across the unsurprising point that there are no ants in Greenland. I fell alseep at that point (it was late) and ended up dreaming about learning dutch to go perform experiments in Greenland. ( Read more... )
