I've been remarkably productive (for me) the last few days. All the same, I've started to notice ominous signs that I may be spending more time and effort on blogging than on my thesis:
- I used to spend the time cycling from home to uni planning what I'd do on my thesis that day, and the time travelling home (over-)analysing what I should have done differently. Now I spend it composing imaginary blog posts.
- I keep coming up with ideas for photos and images I could put in my thesis... if it were a website instead. I want to apply a pretty template!
- My supervisor just pointed out that the section headings in my latest draft are 'amusing, but kind of random'.
- And worst of all? Three times today LaTeX barfed when I tried to compile my files, thanks to me having typed in html commands by mistake.

Unfortunately, Wolfa, that title sounds more lucid than most of what I've been using :)
This is one of your best posts. Hilarious! I am convinced we should all just be allowed to submit (edited versions of) our blogs in lieu of dissertations. I'm sure they're long enough!
Thanks shrinky!
And I agree. I'm terrified that one day I'll find out how to do a word count on my blog, and discover that I've written more here than on my dissertation.
