Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Anger, pure anger.
For the second time in my life I’ve watched the so-called medical profession assume that they know better than the patient what is wrong with them. Aisling nearly died because of it. And today one of my friends was admitted, sent home and then re-admitted at 1am, by me. And the Doctor kept talking over…

The worst essay I’ve ever written
Is undoubtly not the one that I’ve just handed in; but the one I just handed is pretty bad. Not in the sense of being ‘a bad essay’. It’s reasonably readable, the grammar is okay, the spelling’s good. It’s well referenced. It just doesn’t really answer the question very well. Oh well. Anyway, today I’m…

Coffee, elixir of the goddess
So, Coffee helps. So much for cutting down my caffine intake. I’ve got one ‘section’ more to write – the essay is now offically “long enough”, but if I can write say, 400 more words, then it’s just nicely over the word requirement, perhaps enough to make up for the complete lack of answering the…

Tired
Still doing the essay. I’ve taken breaks for food, sleep, to get some food shopping, and Battlestar Galactica. I’m now completely wrecked, I’ve still not finished and I just want to sleep. I want to sleep so badly, but instead of sleeping I’m probably going to have a whacking great cup of coffee. I’m just…

Kate’s Whinge of the day
So. Been doing essay on and off all evening. 1,542 words. Of 4,000. Nearly half way. It’s a hard one this one. Mostly because I know what I found interesting about the research, and to be honest, it’s not quite as relevant to the question as I’d like. I’d really like to write about why…

Today…
I shall mostly be writing my essay…. But I thought I’d share one of todays Darwin Award candidates. The man who, this lunch time, attempted to use a set of jumpleads on a petrol station forecourt. Thankfully, someone spotted what he was up to and said “Nooooooooo!” So there you go. Anyway, back to essays.

Talking about your problems
…or at least, me talking about my problems helps me to change them. The things that I’ve known I do for a long time, and which I needed to change, I feel more aware of. I feel like I can try to change some of them. This is ‘a good thing’ :)

Worthwhile, but not pleasant
So. Councelling. Yes. I am exhausted. There’s so much to talk about, and so much I need to think about. Why did it all have to come out when I’ve got an assignment to do? Why do I find this stuff so easy to write when I should be thinking about the pile of paper…

The Lack of Bike
So, there’s two problems with watching the last episode of The Long Way Round. One: I’m single, most of the time it’s okay, but watching reunions, and romantic stuff (watched a bit of Tipping the Velvet yesterday) really can suck. Two: I MISS MY BIKE! I know it’s sheer lazyness on my part, and I…

Music, TV and that K700 advert.
In case you didn’t know, the music behind the K700i mirror ad is “Death In Vegas – Hands Around My Throat”. This is the second Death in Vegas song I’ve heard off an ad. I’m beginning to think it might be time to invest in a Death in Vegas CD. Any recommendations anyone? In other…
