I’m not going to say anything. The past 24 hours haven’t been a good time for me, and I suspect this will continue for several days.

Currently:
- Tai Chi stuff
- Tai Chi website
- dissertation
- C++ coursework
- Andy’s site
- h2g2 article on towels

And that’s just what I can remember off the top of my head… obviously these have priorities, but it’s still hard to know what to do when… gargh!

Quite shocking that really isn’t it? Anyway, had a lecture today – double Program Construction and Verification as is usual for a Friday at twelve, and several things struck me. This is to add to the list of the other things which have struck me recently, and I’m now going to talk about some of them.

I just saw the season finale of Stargate SG-1 season six, and it wasn’t particularly satisfactory… may the start of season seven follow it up with the kind of whammy which the plot deserves. The end seemed to happen too fast – it should’ve been longer and split over two episodes really (and not over a cliffhanger).

Apparently my eyes have got worse again – not by much, but significantly more of a change than last time. Enough that if I didn’t wear contacts most of the time I’d probably be getting new glasses right about now.

I’ll probably have to consider getting some within the next year or so now because of that… I hadn’t noticed any problems, but when the optometrist made up the new prescription it did make a noticeable difference. Odd that – I guess it’s because changes happen so gradually.

This pretty much puts another nail in various coffins. Oh well.
