see ya later

Yo dudes, due to a lack of blogworthy things, impending thesis and general apathy I've decided to stop writing 311.

I may however write a few posts for insertwittytitle which is an interesting mix of science, internet commentary and homemade cool stuff

Au revoir

The funniest thing on youtube...

First bumble bee of the season

We had a visit from a bumble bee this morning on the 14th of march. This seems a little earlier to me and NPR has confirmed our siting. It was a big fat fuzzy bumble bee too. He looked a bit miserable but after warming himself up in the window (and Jim providing him with water (!!???)) he looked fine and bumbled off outside.
It must be global warming.

Gay Paris

Just to let you know I'm back from a most excellent long weekend in Gay Paris with Nicola. Photos will be appearing here soon.
I did all the stuff you'd expect - the eiffel tower, the louvre, arc de triumphe, notre dame etc;
some slightly less obvious but ultimately superior experiences like the orangerie and musee d'orsay
and some cool stuff like the catacombes (spooky shit!!!) and having a look round the rather seedy Montmatre at night.

In other news I've got an interview for a postdoc job at John Moores so heres hoping

Rejection

I got a rejection email for a job at Cambridge yesterday. Nothing strange there you might think. Except I didn't ever get round to applying for the job! All I did was email the secretary and ask her a question about the postal application. How very strange!
