Yo, all...Been very slack with blogging recently, I know. But it's okay, because the PhD is mostly going along, I survived my review meeting without tears and someday I hope to graduate. Please god let me graduate. Oh, and I moved offices again. Which was probably the best solution to the bee problem (though filling the hole in the wall was a good attempt).
I'm going away to Mudgee tomorrow, to get some driving experience, since I'm only halfway through the practice I need to get my driver's license. I'd like to get my P plates before I go away in December. Have fun without me, and don't burn the place down in my absence.
ETA: I keep forgetting to tell you guys, but I signed up for a cake decorating class. Expect interesting photos once it starts.

It's not stealing if he's been dead for 3000 years...Reading an article about new discoveries in Egypt:
Twenty pear-shaped containers, one metre in height and bearing Tutankhamun's official seal were also discovered.
According to Mr Hawass, the containers are probably full of provisions that were destined to travel with the pharaoh to the afterlife. They will be opened soon, he said.
I know I'm a big softy, but there's something terribly sad about this. The poor guy just wanted to journey to the afterlife in peace and these dudes come along to steal his fruit basket.

This is where I live...Or, more precisely, this is a block away from where I live.

September 11th...Heh, I bet you thought this was going to be a serious blog post, didn't you? No, I'm leaving that for everyone else to fret about, because I have more important (to me) things to blog about. Like, for instance, the realisation that five years ago today I put most of the content on my website up, although I didn't link it for general consumption until October 2nd. Expect something nifty on that anniversary (and if you have any brilliant ideas for said niftiness, please email me).
Oh, and of course I should mention that James and I have been going out for 5.5 years now. Woo! Love you, boy!

Brought to you by the letter 'B'...Today's office bee count: 8 dead when I arrived in the morning, 2 alive before the buildings and grounds guy came to check on the room and 5 more alive ones afterwards.
In some ways I'm looking forward to the excitement that going in tomorrow morning will bring.

AIIEEEEEE!!!!! BEES!!!!...The PhD is going great, I'm having so much fun at the moment and the thought of spending my entire long weekend working on it doesn't fill me with dread at all.
So instead, I would just like to declare: Bees! In my office!!!
