h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Urg, I am meant to be writing up my little research project: Synthesis and charachterisation of a new chiral ligand.
Somehow I just cant get up enthusiasm... Curse this guide in all its brilliance, distraction is endless.

Join the club; I have a thesis for my MSc, which has to be done and dusted, and all finished in its entirerity by October; since I became locked into the H2G2 thing, and can't find the "exit" I haven't done the resurch to enable to begin doing the stats to enable to write it up;
Damm this wonderful H2G2!

You know, its actually not all that funny .

I have been utterly unable to work since I found this site.
Or eat for that matter. Or sleep. Or play.

What I need is some form of minicomputer wired into my skull so my subconcious can do all the h2g2 stuff I want as my physical body has a real life.

So correct, I have been on H2G2, playing guitar, smoking/eating/drinking, and have done no work; I am desperate to start my thesis, everyone else started their's a month ago and I haven't yet; its 40,000 words, and I have wrote zero; only got until october... Maybe I should go offline now..

hah, thats what I said yesterday, but here we are, writing lymericks for no good reason in particular

Still. 40 000 sounds likea lot, I just need some 25-30 pages altogether, not a whole book thank goodness.

There are many, many good reasons to write lymericks, I just can't think of any now!
And here we are; creating a whole conversation based around the fact that we should be doing work...
When the conversation itself contributes to our mutual lack of work!

Yes its quite brilliant isnt it ?

And it will be exactly the same when I get home: Why do work when I can re-read Dune I will think to myself, and then I will get angry for being so feeble, and go and find someone to complain to about my inability to get down to some serious thinking.

Maybe I should join the procrastinators, its just, I cant seem to get round to it....

Strange, I was looking at the procrastinators today, thought about joining, but figured it would be best to do it tommorrow..
I've forgotten what work is, I've forgotten what a thesis is, I've forgotten what outside is, actually, is there such a thing as "outside", or did I just invent the word?
ponders, maybe tommorrow..

at least you went away for a while - I hope you had some food in your absence. Ive just stayed here, hungry, reading and typing, reading and typing.

It will all end in tears

Yes food!!
I go off-h2g2 about every hour for 10-30 minutes, useually to have a ciggerette and a
I begin loosing it if I stay on-and posting constantly for more than 2-3 hours..

Argh, I have been here now for 8 hours, I think I shall hit the sack.

Its a bit early for bed isn't it? Oh, are you in the Uk, USA, or somewhere else? I'me in the Uk, so I guess there might be a time difference?
I was just gone offline for over 30 minutes, then a 5 minute hop to my Emails, to delete all teh c**p, glad I'me back though, I was getting withdrawl symptoms, but at least my nicotine and cafine levels are back to normal (very high in other words)!!
Goodnight....

still not gone dammit

Currently in germany, but still early, and I really could use some lunch before bed, but its the haiku and lymericks, I cant give them up. Its the poet in me .

Are you from Germany? Or just studying/working there? I think you, like me need help, try

thankx for the link, I think I do need help...

Am in Kaiserslautern for a year doing research projects, then back to usual haunt (edinburgh) next acedemic year to finish my MChem

I'me in Manchester doing a MSc immunology; finish october; then back to Cambridge (England!)or Suffolk..
We all need help!!!

Having fun in Manchester?

(My parents live in Cheshire in tiny dull village, so when I am home I tend to see quite a bit of Manchester)

I prefer Cambridge to Manchester, not quite sure why...

Well, only go to manchester through Hobsons choice to be honest

It is not a very relaxed place - getting better now, but that bomb in center ages and ages ago left very slow healing wound in terms of city vitality.

I find Manchester a very dirty place;as soon as you go outside the center.
Cambridge is more friendly and I know all the pubs in CAMBrIDG!!
