Nearly, very nearly finished yet another Geochemistry homework! They come thick and fast and i understand theres another one being dished out tomorrow! Well, it'll have to wait because im going climbing in the mountains Friday night with the SESS club (Geology club at the UA). Its cheap (infact virtually free except hiring shoes and tent) and should be good fun! The place were going is called "Prison Camp" - im not sure if thats an omen but im told to expect a hard days work with painful fingers afterwards (you can probably tell i havent rally been outdoor climbing before!).
Today was fun Fun FUN! I spent all morning puzzling over geochemistry (with some success!) and all afternoon working on Promax - a seismic modelling and computation program with a prehistoric interface for modern tasks. It takes an age to process seismic shot records as their all run off a local network server so the imp in the corner checking the baseball results is slowing the progress of your "exploding interface correction run"!
BTW - ive added more great one-liners in the Ducea Randomness section. Mihai Ducea is our regional tectonics lecturer and he's uniquely class in being really quite clever but not liking teaching (he works at a university!) He tell's it like it is and has a real dislike for geophysists who "cant really tell me anything" and rarely "have a purpose in the world!"
Any how, my housemate informs me Arizona Diamondbacks (the state baseball team) are playing in the post-season something or other which i couldn't give a damn about. Tbh, ive got to finish this geochem and then play my guitar (yeah, ive got to do that!).
Incidentally, as a passing comment - following Mahmood Arhmadinnerjacketrentalshop's visit to Columbia University in New York state last week, the Iranian's have returned and invited George Bush to Tehran. I dare say he won't be accepting! Meanwhile in Bejjing, a bank is offering a tempting free gift with all loans - a 20 pack of condoms!
