… I really didn't get much substantial work done this January with reference to my more academic behaviours: sure I got a few abstracts off to conferences, and got my thesis proposal approved, and I guess I also presented at the Forum for Information Professionals, but all things told, I did probably the minimum of… Continue reading As January draws to a close…

Food etc.
So while I was in Indianapolis, there was literally like unlimited access to food. And I love variety so definitely overate. Not perhaps as badly as I could have, but I definitely ate more than I needed. Once I got home I was back to my more normal habits of grazing a bit, so that… Continue reading Food etc.
An Old Soul… ?
This weekend at SLKP Conference, someone described me as an old soul. I'm not sure really as to the veracity of that claim, but I can certainly identify with the idea behind it.

Back home and in a great mindset!

As I long ago realized, I do much better if I… Continue reading The joys of having more free time… and the loneliness of living alone…
Looking back at 2011 and forward to 2012…
I guess the new year behooves me to make a post of some sort regarding what I've learned in the past year and what I guess I can foretell for the coming year. I don't always do this, certainly, but it's a decent idea. 2011 in retrospective – I lived with a current significant other… Continue reading Looking back at 2011 and forward to 2012…
