So, I think I may have just done some­thing a little… odd. I showed my super­visor how to find this journal (hi Jeff!). It’s mainly so he can keep up with my mus­ings while I’m overseas…

He cur­rently has a very pre­lim­in­ary draft of the thing. I cur­rently have a leave of absence form. Think I’ll get him to sign it on Friday and then I don’t have to worry about the thesis while trav­el­ling at all…

On the travel side, I’m in the pro­cess of get­ting a Ukrain­ian visa and the Czech, Latvian and Rus­sian ones are yet to come. It’s not like me to leave these things till the last minute, but I only really decided I was going to Latvia and Russia in the last few weeks after Dad’s urging.

I have 46 papers to mark by Sunday when I head to Sydney. Now *that’ll* be fun.

Anyhow, Sydney folk, looks like I might see you at Kon­trol on Sunday night. Other funky catch-up arrange­ments should be sug­ges­ted swiftly as the rest of my week will be taken up with the X|Media Lab con­fer­ence during the day and the Sydney Film Fest­ival during the even­ings. Bwahaha.
