This blog is currently experiencing technical glitches

Caused, of course, by the fact that I am slowly losing my mind. Well, not so slowly anymore. For the life of Brian I seem incapable of doing anything at a reasonable hour, except play rugby and get injured. Who needs a shoulder anyway? If your life is ever dependent on me getting to uni by, say 9AM, then your life is pretty safe. If, however, I need to get to uni by 9AM to save the life of my thesis then I am well an truly screwed.

And sadly, due to years of Presbyterian upbringing and the occasional minister's daughter, I've learnt that if you are late to school, uni, work or life then you are lazy, lazy, lazy. Grrrr.

Fortunately I have not made the leap from mind-losing sleep deprivation and excess to full out madness. Unlike Corey, who seems to have a perverse fantasy of me in a blond wig singing Barbara Streisand songs. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times - not gonna happen.

But I have recognized the dangerous signs and I had Queens Birthday off. Aside from rugby and some DVD action I stayed pretty much at home playing Star Wars Jedi Academy (I owned that force) on XBOX and watching with a turgid mass of nerves the BBC reports on the death of Reagan. (Next stop, Bin Laden?) Had a lot of sleep and was feeling pretty good until I got to uni earlier today and ran into an old mate I hadn't seen in a while who told me off for obviously not taking care of myself. Grrrr.

On the plus side at least the thesis is showing promise and is getting the important people excited.

And Ben is happy and that is good.
