So lots has happened recently. Well kinda anyway, mostly I've been watching bad TV and feeling uninspired in a creative sense. Nonetheless my little baby boy was born, he's seven weeks old now and growing fast. He's also not sleeping (Shan, Jodi, that card was prophetically evil) too much but, honestly, he's generally a good baby. Which is nice. He seems to be doing well anyway and Steph appears to have recovered. All good things. Except the lack of sleep. Naturally. It's all cool though, I sit with him most of the day, I'm bringing him up on my choice of unhealthy music, test cricket and dubious fantasy novels of the teen-oriented persuasion. He's gonna be a gem (the physics articles will surely help his future girlfriend prospects no end. Can you say "Bose-Einstein condensate, can you say Bose-Einstein condensate!" )

*parrots* Bose-Einstein condensate! Bose-Einstein condensate!

Hmm, yes. Suddenly I'm not nearly as depressed over the direct lack of anything approaching a love/sex/you-get-the-idea life [though the social life front has been improving of late]. It may be lonely, but at least I get to spend all my money (ha! What there is of it, right?) on myself

I'm re-starting my university career soon. 3 weeks from today (Monday) I shall be back in lectures learning and all of that jazz. I'm off to do an MSc, a wonderful MSc of Oz. Or at least of the physics and technology of nuclear reactors. Emerald city and nuclear powered hot air balloons here we come! Honestly though I'm kinda worried about it all. I mean it's been 2 years since I did any physics or, indeed, anything that really taxed my brain and I never had a work ethic to begin with. I'm not sure I'll be able to blag my way through this as I did with the 4 years of my MSci. Ah well, if all works out in about a year from now I'll be living near Kuke or some other lucky soul and providing their electrickery through the magic of fissioning atoms. Don't worry guys and gals, I rarely sleep on the job...

You may want to reconsider that, seeing as I am going to attempt graduate school in plasma physics and fusion technology. I'd hate to put you out of a job, you know.... But then again, given current research funding, it isn't likely to happen any time soon that I can see, so you may just have lucked out

Work. School. Sleep. Gotta love it when your life can be defined in three words. Blah
