Wow!

So the gap between blogs appears to be getting bigger, but that's probably got something to do with my facebook addiction and the sprawling vortex of chaos that I call a life. Either that, or some kind of temporal Doppler effect caused by my proximity to anomalously high levels of biscuits.

I'm not going to go into detail, but it's fair to say that 2008 sucked balls. Largely due to my own inability to avoid people who keep themselves ticking over with weapons-grade evil, (stupid Disney making me believe that they'd have a propensity to cackle maniacally and have talking animal side-kicks.)

Finally, it would seem that I'm recovered and refreshed from the ordeal and 2009 is looking up. I'm a busy little monkey, what with thesis writing and trying to rinse a couple of bonus publications out of my research, but I'm not feeling overwhelmed.

I'm splitting my time between my "office" in Stoke and Nottingham, which is so far proving to work pretty well. I'm already clawing at the walls and looking forward to moving out of Stoke, but that only serves as motivation to get my shit together.

So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I hereby announce that boB is back!
