On the Shoulders of Midgets

Morituri te salutant

So I figure I should at least start some sort of diary again, before I head off to Perth, and lacking any good material to write on (and knowing that my atrocious handwriting is not befitting of my glorious life), I'll attempt to revive this blog.

Though, it's proving harder than I thought - the wireless mobile broadband that I signed up to, which I hoped to be the panacea of all my internet woes, has dropped out for the fourth time tonight. I am quite looking forward to moving to Perth, and with the move, maybe the promise of some proper internet.

So, in a day from today, the teaching period for Semester 1 will come to an end. Hence the title of this entry - "those who are about to die salute you" - in reference to the fact that exams are coming. Despite this, tonight is a night of relative relaxation, since the final year chemical engineers have just completed the last major assignment for the semester - naturally, we celebrated by drinking. It had been the source of pure hell for most people. The night before, I, for some reason, could not sleep (thinking about distillation columns, heat conduction, and kitten huffing), came online at 2AM to find people still doing the assignment. I woke up again at 4AM - apparently people were still up, or only just starting to sleep again. A friend of mine slept at 7AM
- only to be woken at 7:30 by a call from BlueScope Steel. Poor man.

But that is behind us now, and all that remains, is the glorious future ahead. Morituri te salutant - indeed.

Also today, I managed to take a picture of that crane that fell over - you might have seen this in the news recently.

I wanted to do something like those internet memes you see around - and place the word FAIL on it, and some reference to the Melbourne Model, but I can't be bothered. Too lazy. Maybe in time.

So, in parting, we shall see how long this manages to survive. I have other blogs out there, I have no idea where they are, somewhere, somehow, they may survive. But it must, and that requires encouragement...

Enjoy.
