Since I’m currently sat in an empty conference room, unable to get into any of the rooms containing the computers I need to work on this afternoon (damn classes are getting in my way!), I’ve been revisiting an old literary friend. It’s no overstatement to say that these books hooked me back into reading as [...]

What a morning!
Sometimes I find myself wondering how I led myself to believe that a job working in IT would be easy and accomodating. I think perhaps one too many bad Amercian TV programs featuring the token ‘geek’ warped my fragile little mind in it’s formative teenage years, and made me believe that a life spent in [...]

In Need Of A Diversion
AT the moment, I’m sat in Aimée’s bedroom, in her shared accomodation in Cambridge, on my own. As I have been for about the past four hours. And as I will be for about the next four hours. “Why” I hear you ask “are you sat alone for so long in her room?”. Well dear [...]

I somehow managed to contract a thorat infection sometime around Thursday/Friday, which resulted in me croaking my way through the weekend. When [...]

Reading, but even geekier…
I want a Sony eReader!
Yes I know it’s just a fancy-pants way of reading a book, but it looks so sexy! Plus, it would allow me to carry 160 books around with me in a unit smaller than a standard paperback. Which is pretty damn spiffy.

First Post-Reading Round-up
Well, as you probably guessed by the fact that you’re here reading a blog that’s written by me rather than a grieving family member/friend beginning “Rooney passed away…”, I survived Reading Festival 2008!
Much alcohol was consumed (I had a liquid breakfast every single day, which is a new record for me), as was a large [...]
