So, I'm alone at home, I have no idea why my landlady's not here, it's dark, the air smells of smoke, and there's sirens in the valley, something scratching at the wall, and a helicopter with a searchlight making slow circles over my house.

...I so did not pick the right night to be watching a Stephen King movie. D:

ETA: Have now succeeded in watching movie and am not dead! Another successful Saturday night in Refurland!

Son of ETA: Turns out all of the above (with the exception of the scratching and the movie) can be explained by the fact that there's a huge house fire just down the road from me. We now return you to your previously scheduled D:

Notes: This started out as an explanation for a certain event in 5x04, but then it ended up going a bit further than that. It starts out nowish in the timeline.

Oct. 19th, 2009 @ 11:02 am It's going to be a good day, I can feel it.
So, there's this dude who looks like Nathan Ford from Leverage studying on the floor outside my office. There are two possible explanations for this:

1. He's a mature student who I just happen not to have met before.
2. Nathan Ford is planning to steal my department.

So,1 of the many things I have done since last time I posted in this here thing, one of the most recent is switching my home computer (the delicious Heidi, cast-iron matron to the stars) from Windows XP to Ubuntu. While this has improved almost everything about Heidi's performance, the main joy I'm getting out of it at the moment is that I've switched all my default fonts to Purisa, which means that both Heidi and the internet talk to me in a childish scrawl. Heidi is kind of upset at the affront to her iron-matronly dignity. The internet, meanwhile, thinks it is remarkably appropriate.2

1. Font merely for illustration, fear not.

2. PS. Everyone who's messaged me asking if they can translate/record/print out and set fire to any of my stuff, the answer is yes, and the further answer is "sorry I'm such a muppet lately, I appear to be allergic to replying to messages".

Today This week has been full of minor frustrations and failures that have rather snowballed into a melodramatic feeling of self-pity on my part. I was vaguely considering whinging about it, and then I thought I would talk about something else instead )

So, tonight I was walking home, and I stopped in a wee park to look at the stars. And then a possibly slightly drunk man stopped to talk to me, and the following conversation ensued.

POSSIBLY SLIGHTLY DRUNK GUY: What are you doing?
ME: I'm looking at the stars.
PSDG: Oh. *looks at stars*
ME: *continues looking at stars*
PSDG: You're right, they are beautiful.
ME: Yeah, they really are.
PSDG: Is the moon waxing or waning?
ME: It's waxing.
PSDG: Oh.
ME: ...
PSDG: ...
ME: ...
PSDG: Well, it's good to know someone's... taking care of these things. *wanders off*


So, you guys, if it's clear where you are tonight and there's not too much light pollution, take a look at the stars. Someone's got to take care of these things. ♥

Jul. 25th, 2009 @ 08:06 pm Of all the things I hate about being beplagued, I have decided the worst is not being able to sing
If you had happened to be in or near my room in the last twenty minutes or so (I SEE YOU THERE UNDER THAT BUSH), you would have observed me making it all the way through a wobbly chorus of North-West Passage before shouting "ha! Take that, swine flu*" and descending into a bout of hacking coughs. Let me just pause to assure you that this kind of behaviour is completely normal in New Zealand, and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is selling something.




*NB I think it's very unlikely that I do indeed have swine flu (and even if I do, I'm now getting over it, so yay), but never let it be said that I missed an opportunity for extra melodrama.

Soon after the quake hit, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued an advisory, which extended across the Tasman with Sydney and Australia's south-east coast put on alert.

The Sydney Morning Herald website reported last night that residents had been warned to keep away from the water's edge and a Sydney a performance at the Bondi Pavilion was cancelled and all theatregoers evacuated from the beachfront venue.

Mr Cruickshank said a 17cm wave had been detected at Jackson Bay on the West Coast and the tsunami warning had subsequently been cancelled.

Jul. 5th, 2009 @ 06:04 pm I aten't dead! Much.
Hello! I notice that my absence from LJ has got to the point now where people have started sending me concerned messages, and so I feel I must explain myself. About a month ago I went out on fieldwork for two weeks to a farm near a village of 200 people in the middle of nowhere. Yesterday, I got back. Things... took a little longer than we were expecting, and having spent a month living on a campsite and working twelve-hour shifts seven days a week on a drill rig in the middle of winter, I now return only to leave again for another field-trip tomorrow. Apparently, my life here is much more rock and roll than I ever thought it would be. Well, if getting up three hours before dawn every day for a month to go and make very deep holes in a farm paddock in the freezing cold counts as rock and roll, anyway. Anyway, I have received all your missives, and thanks for your thoughts -- I'll hopefully be getting around to answering them, along with the crazy number of comments to my Big Bang, come the end of this next trip. As for this post, I probably won't answer comments to it, but I thought I'd better put these pictures up for my own memories before I lost the will to live went off and took a bunch more. Be warned -- there's a lot.

My Life, So Hard )
