_Ed_ Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I'm looking for ways to ease my stress during my Masters. I've already decided to play a bit of golf and/or have a crack at surfing this summer, but today I decided it might be fun to take a break from thesisage from time to time to work on a preposterous crime novel. There's a 99% chance I won't finish it. The working title is Underwater Serial Killer, and the main detective shall be named Humbario Prilslo Bailey (an anagram of 'hilariously improbable').

_Ed_ Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks! I doubt I'll really get anywhere with it, but I think it'll be fun, and the random, inexplicable surge of inspiration this evening felt good. I've spent the last few hours coming up with anagram names for other characters - up to six in total now! How's uni been for you so far this semester?

_Ed_ Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I hate how people at uni don't communicate with each other. I went to the Arts Students Centre today to ask why my online application for Masters hasn't been accepted yet. They said I needed to talk to the Postgraduate Adviser first. I emailed the Postgraduate Adviser. She said I only needed to do an online application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ah, the weather was so nice today. Had a nice walk around the island and been helping out with takahe drama. A new takahe was released here which disturbed the balance causing fighting and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yeah the weather was so lovely today! Sounds like a bit of drama. I laughed at the NZ Herald this morning. A story about how when John Key rings President Obama, he answers the phone. Special relationship, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I just started watching that 'Extreme Male Beauty' special after Richard mentioned it, and I don't know whether I can watch the rest They're really not... I mean they... well its... they're certainly very blunt about the subject! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I have to wonder how seriously this reporter is taking this issue, since he just said to a surgeon: 'does this mean that if enlargements go wrong, you have to fix those cock-ups?'

_Ed_ Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It's very appropriate that 'Extreme' is in the title. Nothing less would really have sufficed. I witnessed an awkward situation on the bus this afternoon. A guy got on, and some other guy who appears to be his friend called out to him. The guy didn't notice. The friend then got out his phone and presumably sent the guy a text. The guy didn't check his phone. You could tell now that he'd realised that too much time had elapsed for him to get out of his seat and go and sit next to the guy. He clearly had no idea what to do in this situation. He didn't end up talking to him until everyone got off the bus in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It most certainly is a series. One hour of that is nowhere near enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Funny John Key said today that NZ won't become a republic while he's prime minister. Recall him saying during the election campaign that NZ becoming a republic was "inevitable" and something he would look at if we voted for him.

_Ed_ Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Hey, Moas, could you try to answer something for me? I came across this graph while doing research for uni. It's not essential to my thesis to know the answer, but it's got me flummoxed. What could 'other' mean? The only real possibility I can think of is kayaking, but that's a pretty big chunk for Sydney. Almost as many people as walk/cycle! Surely not that many kayak. Edited September 3, 2010 by _Ed_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Fox Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Carpool? Don't know if that'd come under 'Car' though. Quite a pickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 That's a good one, but yeah, I think it might come under car. The only reason I say that is because quite a few people carpool in Auckland, and 'other' doesn't register at all on its graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Fox Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 That's true. Hmmm.... Motorbike, Skateboard, Spaceship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
