Iacta alia est

Mr Blair has been returned to power for another term...let's see if he lasts. Going to watch Kingdom of Heaven this evening - ought to be interesting. Supposed to choose a BSc for my fourth year - choices have to made in the first week of June - I'm not very certain which topic to pursue...

Les jeux sont fait - play on - no turning back - no sir, no indeed - no dice where that one's concerned.

I decided last night to give up. The first ever conscious decision to 'give up' - I don't like doing it, but that's the only way to solve some problems. Sometimes it's the only solution - to stand up and walk away.

Blue and brown today. Dark blue, light blue and chestnut brown. With a folder. It's not good to speculate - no, no, no - it's not. You shouldn't allow your mind to wander into fancifully deranged interpretations of something you hardly know anything about. Stay focused on the mechanisms of septic shock; stay focused on microbial infection; stay focused on the role of coagulopathy in sepsis. Argh. Please, please, please don't smile. I can't walk away. An ensemble of blues and browns is just a passing distraction. Thank goodness it's not all black and white - thank goodness indeed. Let's just whisper a prayer of thanks that blue and brown isn't scented - or I'd probably inhale a whiff of a doomed daydream before losing myself utterly...totally...senselessly...where is logic? Where is reason?
