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.

Moving (site)
For those few of you who read this on my vanity domain, the DNS hosting is in the process of switching providers. Things may get a little bumpy (but hopefully not).

More Belf (or Bookbed, or something).
So, despite having been on nights, the impending visit of my mother has spurred progress on the house, or at least on the Belf. The Belf being a Daybed/Fold-Out-Double/Bookcase affair of such astonishing complexity that even I am quite surprised by how complex it’s ended up being. The bed itself is mainly MDF and pine.…

I’m beginning to wonder if I’m paranoid.
So, the more I look at women’s history, the more Kathryn researches for her project, the more I become aware of the way that women’s importance in science and history is hidden by the veil of just not being mentioned. If you never mention someone, they disappear, and like Rosalind Franklin, people forget they were…

Thanksgiving
So, we did thanksgiving. I realise Turkey day has either been-and-gone or not-arrived-yet depending on where in the world that you are, but in our bit of the world it’s not given as a day off, and thus we tend to have it at the weekend, when we can arrange days off, and our friends…

I understand, but it doesn’t work for me.
So, not having a car and living in a city is the way of at least some of the future, I expect. The zip car / on demand rental / city car club thing has been going for a while, and I keep thinking it’s something that we should consider. Or at least consider dropping…

For some reason I’m knackered.
Completely, totally exhausted. No idea why. One minute I was peachy keen, the next I felt like kipping on the sofa. I’m resisting, because it almost invariably makes me feel worse. It has been a fairly busy and productive day though, which might explain it. So, the items on today’s list were: Replace the leaking…

Today’s progress
So, today I’ve varnished the shelves (on one side). I will leave them to dry overnight, then tomorrow varnish the other side, and then it should be assembly time. Which is exciting. I’ve got a few holes to drill first (44 on the uprights and shelves, in total, then a few on the back panel…

I should totally be paid more
So, as a consequence of my job I got to spend today at an inquest. Obviously I’m not going to talk about the inquest, or the evidence, or whathave you. Whilst it was an open inquest and anyone could have attended, I don’t think it’s terribly appropriate to discuss these things here. What I can…

Work in Progress
So, at some point soon I’m hoping to take this whoooole site down (not LJ, obvs. My vanity domain), do some tinkerings, and pop it up new, fresh and shiny. Well, that may be over stating things. But a fresh install of WP, hopefully with multiple site support working because the highly cludgy multiple instances…

Where to land
So, we’ve started looking at moving to Canada again. Where once we had a simple plan*, we now have a diffuse vague notion with a definitive desired endpoint**. The thing is complicated by the fact we would like to end up near Kathryn’s family, but Kathryn’s family are near BC, and BC is expensive. On…
