Back at work today, it's good to see everyone again but I forget how depressing this place can be...

I don't know who designed the lighting here, but it's perfectly designed to erase all motivation from my head. I checked the bulbs, apparently they filter out all the goodness, leaving only the dark light that reveals the stark truth of reality.

Only 9 months and I'm supposed to finish this Phd.

9 Months.

*NINE* MONTHS

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
I'm boned

The light even drains batteries, I was going to take snazzy fashion stylee shots of me in my new <ahem, not nicked oh no> lab coat (oooh, uber cool, everyone will be wearing them this spring, I tell you). First shot, sneezy cam, then the camera refuses to take anymore, citing emotional issues and battery sulking.

More POSITIVE Thoughts:

Beer: Lovely saviour
Work: I get to lecture soon, woohoo!
Music: So much goodness at the moment, got The Hold Steady, Wolf Parade and new Sleater Kinney album to listen to on the way home, damn you Pitchfork for influencing my borrowing.
New Camera: It works! I have friends gurning in DIGITAL now!
Old rubbish: Found an old school timetable diary thing. Did I really end every homework record with "P.S. I am w***ing as I write this?". Apparently yes.
Older stuff: Found a photo of my dad as a youth, clad in rocker leather, kidnapping a monkey (at least I think it's a monkey, unless I was a hairy baby ) . Impending scanning at some point....
Japanese writing: Learning it and it's great

Ok, enough garbage.
