Today I am happy about:
* Pleasant emails from numerous delights,
* The library here is natural lit and has open windows, so it is not only quite pleasant to sit in but very quiet (no sounds of lights humming),
* Kalgoorlie-Boulder is apparently not so backward (it is weird finding out about this on the Internet...kind of like the time I found out someone had turfed the inside of a phone box outside the Flying Scotsman in Mt Lawley via BoingBoing, a US site),
* I am still all full of excitement about getting back to Perth, and all my lovely people, and living in a sharehouse again (especially this particular sharehouse, which has been quite lovely in the past),
* that my letter made it to kalgoorlie ok.

I am not so happy that:
* I still have over two complete books to read, and not enough time to read them in, so I'll probably have to come back out here. Attempts to find copies to buy remain unsuccessful.
* My research feels like it is still going quite slowly - I can't believe I've been here a month! I am calming myself on this front by reminding myself that I very often have research-related panic, and in the past it hasn't necessarily meant that my work was doomed.
* Less importantly, I am a bit miffed that only one of my bookcrossing books has been registered so far.

Would you be able to get funding to go back? Sounds like it'd be fun to go back later and come at it from another perspective after you've had time to digest it all.

Actually I've been thinking I'd love to make another trip about a year before my PhD is due. I'm not sure that I could get funding, but as long as I can pay for the plane ticket (which I should be able to manage, assuming I don't start smoking crack or anything) I could fund it myself fairly easily.

Also, that way it could be part holiday, too.

Dear Sky,

Unforntunately everyone is smoking crack now, its the cool thing to do.

If you want to win at cool (and you wont because I will, but you will want to try because one day winning at smart won't be enough) you will need to start smoking crack.

As say this not as an advocate of crack smoking, but as a concerned friend.

Yours,

Jarrad

Ps: Crack.

Oh damn. I guess that cuts out any hope of saving money.

Still, we do what we must.

BoingBoing

Watch those relative links, dearie.

That said … what's the story with the Scotsman/Phone Box thing? If it's what I'm thinking of, I think I may have been involved.

Someone laid some of that roll-out instant grass in the floor of the phone box. It looked pretty cool, actually.

Yeah
We tried to get some on the roof, too. It didn't really stick.
