Yay for long overdue blogs! Woo!
I'd like to say something interesting has been happening but it's really more of the same shit. Gonna have to take the landlord to court for one. Not too happy about it but I'll hopefully get to see him squirm so maybe it'll all be worth it. Thank you all for your good wishes on that particular subject, by the way. On the Emma front, she went to see about getting back to her PhD earlier today but to no avail. We have a new dean and it seems he is somewhat financially driven to the point where he is trying to close the Royal College building. For those unaware of Strathclyde Uni, the Royal College was the first and central building of the campus. Rather sadly, no-one seemed perturbed by this but when he tried to sell off the union recently everyone was up in arms. Fucking students
Anyhow, Emma's gonna need to put in an appeal to see if she can get back. Not good, but it could be worse.
On my PhD front, things are the same. Still running simulations but I'm working on a new device now. However, if we go with this device it'll be nice as I designed it. Still need to tweak the simulations though. Oh, and I'm giving an oral presentation at a conference in September. Won't that be fun, interesting and not at all nerve-wracking?
Entertainment-wise, I saw the new Transformers movie, which was fun but overly long, and Drag Me To Hell, which was fantastic. Yeah, I know the scares were cheap (Something's happening! It's loud! And sudden!) but it was still fun and took me back to my Evil Dead days. Apart from that, there's new Burn Notice, Adventures of Pete & Pete and Strawberry Panic to keep me amused. Oh, and I saw Static-X! It's about fucking time....
Love & smooches, people

i'm in love with science and technology, you know. so you have all of my respect!!
i attended biotechnology degree at university, but i left, and changed field completely. But my love for science never faded!
speaking of SH origins, well, if you like the whole SH series you'll like it. There are many good points like the power to shift between the two worlds across mirrors, the pleasure to discover the origin of the "Alessa incident", huge places to explore...but i found it less frightening than other series, the alternate world is not as disturbing as in other games (especially SH2), and the main suspence factor is due the faint pocketlight that makes the game very dark. i don't like the camera fixed angle,that in some part is annoying. some mosnter are very frightening but the boss fights were too easy to me. i hate when strong enemies play dumb. anyway, i don't think you'll regret playing it, unless you do that alone in the middle of the night.
