close... close... but not quite.

Reading through my thesis over and over again is making me realise how absolutely mediocre it is. Almost 30,000 words of mediocrity at that. As I said yesterday, editing really is soul-destroying; realising that really, you can't write that well. Not just that, but you pay as much attention to details as a slug.
I don't know why a slug would pay little attention to details, but it would. Promise.
I am toying with my word count, and so have come ridiculously close to the word limit. Ah ah. I don't even want to think about the poor soul who's going to have to read this whole thing, probably a couple of times. I guess they get paid though, right? So it isn't so bad. Not only did I not get paid to do this, but I've actually forked out a good 12,000 pounds (plus living expenses for two years) to do this. How great.
I have to say, I'm not exactly the picture of positivity today.
Must be the bloody lawn mowing (or mown lawing, as I called it earlier) outside my window this morning.
I hate everything and everyone.
The only thing that keeps me going? That bottle of sloe gin in the bar... It's mine. Just wait for it.

Version

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I cannot describe my life better than a picture can.
And because my heaven is here, I'll wrap the world around it and live in a cocoon. Quoting from a favourite song, 'Letting the cables sleep' by Bush, in its incarnation as a remix. And I do wish the friend who introduced me to the song was here to see the way things turned out.
The photos used on this site were all taken by me and can be found on my Flickr account.
