greetings...how is your work going?
my computer died a horrible, exasperating death last week and i lost a lot of stuff. won't be on much until my new computer arrives, so hope you're well. congrats on the fp, by the way =^..^=
i have a friend who fosters cats and they are an endless source of amusement. life here is perpetually busy. quite a lot hit the fan back in january thanks to a colleague with an inflated sense of self that thought i insulted him behind his back. definitely something i dislike about academia - the huge egos. but the research is endlessly interesting. the cats are good, i look forward to gardening again and taking a little holiday in three weeks. any holidays for you?
those are great new photos you've uploaded. how's life?
Thanks! I can't take all the credit, my kitties pose beautifully for them all! The extra tiger kitty was my parents cat, I got to go home for Thanksgiving. I have to say Christmas does seem to be escaping me this year, I'm way behind this year!
ready for xmas yet? nice new photos you posted =^..^=
congrats on handing your thesis in! that's a huge step...the defense is rather anticlimatic, in my experience. life here is busy but not unusually so, so i cannot complain. what's next for you? more book writing? =^..^=
how's life treating you? hope your writing is progressing well =^..^=
happy howl-oween to you too. how is your novel coming? and your studies? hopefully smoothly, though I liken academia to the greek myth of sisyphus, who was condemned by the gods to roll a boulder up a hill every day until eternity, but he could never get it over the crest of the hill and it would roll back to the same place he started...and it went on and on! but it is those 'eureeka' moments that make research so great =^..^=
hope all ur studying is going well. enjoy de weekend =^..^=
http://cheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=4839650 hoepfully your weekend won't be like Kato's here.... nothing much planned, perhaps catch up on my non-work writing! i hope yours has many positive moments. =^..^=
very cool! when i was writing up my dissertation i often thought thesis-writing went thru the same stages as grieving: first there was denial, then anger, then depression, bargaining and finally acceptance! and i went through those stages on a daily basis, it seemed! the publishing process is painfully slow. i have that issue wit ecology journals. but it's definitely worth the wait...hang in there and relish the creative process! =^..^=
u is novelist? wow, very cool! may your week be a good one. =^..^=
it was fairly relaxing! i haven't watched any new movies lately...am waiting for Coraline to be on dvd. the cats for sum reason enjoy watching tv too... =^..^=
hope u get some relaxation dis weekend! don't work too hard. =^..^=
i know the feeling...i would be working away then look at the cats fast asleep on the couch and feel rather jealous! but all that work is definitely worth it. hang in there! =^..^=
