No goals. No word counts. Just chilling out, listening to some seriously laid-back music and watching the sun set and the clouds roll in. I've been working hard for weeks. Tonight, I relax hard.

If you assumed that the scarcity of entries lately is an indication that I'm leading an active social life, lose 5 points. The reality is that I've been working on this thesis every day, and have no choice but to continue to do so until October when it will be safely handed in and I can resume worrying about the next set of life's hurdles. So updates will probably continue to be a little sporadic for a while.

The heatwave currently searing this country shows no real signs of abating (although as I write this there is a half-arsed thunderstorm going on outside. It's just about the most pitiful, placid thunderstorm I've ever seen). Temperatures like these, in my view, do not make life pleasant, and whenever I speak to somebody who perversely thrives upon such unnaturally high temperatures I get an urge to set them on fire.

On a personal note (and I apologise just this once for using the blog as a vector for communicating with friends, but in this case it may be the quickest and best way) it's my 25th birthday tomorrow, and I'm suffering from a shortage of plans. If anyone I know in Nottingham fancies meeting up at the pub, going to see a movie, or even just coming over for drinks and DVDs, let me know.
