"Unbelievable as it may seem... the dead are rising from the grave..."

I actually get to say that in a film, which is pretty damn cool in my book. Now I just need to get me a part in the feature length follow up.

Writting any kind of report sucks, big time. So that's no fun. Other than that, things seem to be reasonably peachy....

So I suck at keeping my journal up to date, but the upshot of it is this:

The PhD seems to be going quite well, first year report is due at the end of next month...

scary, scary, very very scary.

Working for the company which sponsors me is also going quite well, which is nice. Hopefully I'll have a nice job waiting for me...

Well, it's been a least a yonk since I went to see Batman Begins (fantastic, by the way), so it seems I've been a little lazy with my journal posting...

I've moved flats in the intervening time, to a much nicer place. I also spent a week house sitting my friends' flat while they were in France, and looking after their pregnant cat... and then...

I had meant to update a couple of days ago, but I've been quite ill. Since graduation day in fact, which sucked.

Caught the last episode of Doctor Who yesterday and really enjoyed it. The two...

I has recently been pointed out to me that I don't update my journal often enough (hello H + D), so now seems like as good a time as any.

I've been having a lazy few days, since I still don't know when I'll be starting my PhD. The upshot of which is that I can't really get a job and my finances are starting...

And another long while between journal entries...

Results day came and went and I got a 2.1, which is okay becuase it's what I needed to get onto my PhD, but it's not what I wanted. I was pretty much slap bang on the border between a 2.1 and a 1st, so chances are it was pretty close... and that's just annoying. C'est la vie....
