…you know the rest

Those of you who still read this thing will have noticed that everything broke for a while, followed by everything being gone. Those are technical terms.

Before today (and since my last post), life was generally gloriously, estravagantly, shatteringly boring. And then today, this happened:

Welcome back. Miss me?

This entry might seem a little belated. Thinking about it, it is almost two weeks after I should have written it. But time is all how one perceives it, a meandering river that flows over both flat planes and surges down the most turbulent of rapids.

...in the paper. What, I like Elliott Smith lyric references, they make me sound intelligent. Anyway, 'twas 34 days since I last posted, and since I figured you'd all be getting drunk and merry yesterday, I thought I'd post today.

Tonight we're gonna make love. You know how I know? It's Wednesday, and Wednesday is the night that we usually make lurve.

I apologise for the inexplicable downtime that my blog has had over the past few days. It really is a mystery as to why it happened, and indeed why it appears to have fixed itself.

I was set free from my hospital prison on Monday. After an 11 day stint with pancreatitis. And I can now tell you, from first hand experience, that you do not want pancreatitis. No really. It isn't fun.

As you probably won't have noticed (as I only put it up last night), I have a new page on the site, where I have "published" the essay I wrote on instant messaging last year. Having been rejected by Nature and several other such scientific journals, I thought I would publish it on the only place I can for peer review. Happy reading.

Well, it's been the best part of 2 months since I last updated this blog. And just when you thought this thing was finally dead, here I am clogging up the internet again ;).
