A... journal? Wot's that then?
Posted Nov 25, 2004
It's... been a *little* while since my last journal entry, hasn't it? Naughty naughty! But then, it's been quite a while since I've been around hootoo much... it's scary, so many people here now don't even *know* about Rupert, nevermind the pre-BBC era. But for all that it's not what it once was, it's not exactly morphed into some terrible misformed ... ah, there's a smiley I haven't used for too long! 
So anyway, what's been happening... well, not much 
Very very briefly, ellie and I moved out together to somewhere where we didn't have internet access, then we were living seperately for a short while (which was HORRIBLE) until the w**k situation improved, then we found ourselves a great little apartment (not one of those awful modern 'open-plan' apartments which look like excessively neat closets) where we *finally* got internet access back (but only dial-up 
) and I completed my studies. Well, supposedly finished my studies, until I decided (due to ellie's prompting) to do an Honours year, which will give me a BA (Hons.) instead of just the BA (which I have now, certificate on the wall and everything!). So that's why I've been insanely busy these last few months... read read read study study study, it's been ridiculous... but it's been worth it, I'm studying amazingly interesting stuff (the universalisability of human rights, if you want to know) as well as just plain bloody difficult stuff, like the possibility of knowledge and how to define it, and just what *is* the self anyway? I've come through the first semester on a first-class honours average, and my thesis (10000 words) is progressing okay, even if I get scared at times that what I'm hoping to be able to do, I won't be able to manage. But that's philosophy for you! You always seem to end up making a contribution by asking a question, rather than answering one. So... any questions?

How long is it? 33 days sir. Thirty-Three days!
Posted May 27, 2003
Or, to put it another way - that's a rather personal question! That's how many days (plus 3 hours 10 minutes) remain until I'm reunited with ellie (U198365), my love . We've already been apart for 67 days, so it's not much longer now, even if at times it feels like each day is a whole month unto itself. I love her! Okay, so it's not world peace or anything like that, and it's perhaps not terribly important to anyone else, but do I care? Well no, not particularly

A-Europe we will go
Posted Jan 14, 2003
Yes, that's right, I'm off to Europe for 7 weeks of... 
... Europeness Not right at this very second - I don't leave for another 27 hours. Or so. Not that I'm counting. At all. 
The (very) rough itinerary is this - arrive in Paris on the 16th. Recuperate for a couple of days. Travel around the south of France and Italy (particularly Venice and Florence) until the end of January. Return to Paris, and then either from the 4thish to the 11thish or the 17thish to the 24thish, travel by train/ferry to/from Finland, via Germany. The rest of the time I'll be in Paris, with possible jaunts off into the more northern French countryside, time and money permitting. Then I fly from Paris to London on the 2nd of March, arriving in at Heathrow around lunchtime, go in to the city itself to meet whoever decides they want to show up, then back to Heathrow that evening for the flight back home. Which gets here just in time for me to theoretically go to uni. I don't know when or even if I'll be able to get online - or will be bothered to actually swing by here but I'll be contactable by email (at an address I will send everyone I know who might want to contact me ) I also have a hotmail account (link on my home page http://www.kingcthulhu.net/) which I'll also check, though not as often as the other.
So... have fun without me, because I'll certainly be having fun without you!

Shootings at Monash University
Posted Oct 21, 2002
Today at Monash University, Clayton Campus in Victoria, Australia. I, happily, wasn't on campus at the time. Details are pretty sketchy at the moment; I shall, of course, keep this up to date. For now, more info at:
