"The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits." G.K. Chesterton

Epidiosyncragyrology

Epidiosyncragyrology - the science dealing with stirring patterns resulting from human activity intended to dissolve sugar in tea or coffee, by stirring with a teaspoon. Most epidiosyncragyrologists consider the recent emergence of this interdisciplinary field as nothing short of a revolution in the study of the human mind.

Gecko commotion!

Two gecko's are either fighting, playing or mating outside my window - hmm, can't tell. There's plenty of commotion and a cacophony of gecko-squeaks. Oh wait! - I can see one has got hold of the other's tail with it's jaws. Whoa! - the gecko binary system has just swung haphazardly, pivoted on the hind legs of the biter, coming close to dropping off the window altogether. Nope - I still don't know what to make of it.

Friends

My flatmate's dog Russell, came to greet me last night when I got back from a tutorial. After trotting giddily downstairs he paused politely at the threshold, looking up at me, until I said - hello there, come in! After I turned the TV on and sat down, he sat next to me. A minute or two later, while we were sitting there, watching the tube, he glanced over, and looked into my eyes - it was then, that I had a thought which put that moment in perspective - "so, my friend - here we are, two living beings sharing a moment in eternity."
