All of these bloody sky surveys and it's so difficult to actually get any actual bloody images out of them!
InvaderXan
That, and I always eat too much at conveyor belt sushi places.

I would appear to be living in interesting times...

So upon tidying my desk, I realised that I have a small mountain of papers. I guess I've done a lot of reading over the past year!

Silly physicists. It's called a molecule, not a 'coulomb system'...

I like it when my numbers add up. I think they add up. I hope they add up?
