1st October 1998

Graphic proof why relationships are heaven and hell… Susan accidentally accessed Jules computer from mine, and he got really upset because of it. So she read the pop-mail where Jules told me that he was really pissed off. Now she is even more upset and he's going to be angry at me because she wasn't supposed to read it and so on… Of course, now that they have reached a "low-point", they can build upwards from there. A low is always followed by a high. Like Seinfeld might say, "make-up sex" is the best. Not that there's necessarily going to be sex, but overcoming adversity helps to bond people, and this is of course no exception. Sure there might be a bit of anger and so on, but "it can't rain all the time". Gosh, I'm really coming along with the meaningful quotes tonight aren't I! ;) Still it's good to see Susan and Bridget again, they certainly bring a certain something with them whenever they're around. Susan's is an on-again / off-again fun energy, while Bridget is a more of a low-level always interesting aura… God knows what that all means. Jules found some interesting pills, which I might have to try later, I've been wanting to take my shoes off for hours, but I know that if I do, I'll want to go and take a shower and I sure as hell won't get back to work. Still, I haven't been particularly motivated to go back to work at night's these day's, possibly it's because I've been getting up at (relatively) early time and therefore I'm more tired by 6:00 pm and figure that I've already done a full days work (Ha!). I just know that when I go in tomorrow that MGH is going to serve me my head on a platter, I lost the Z-scan information, and the results are worthless without it. Another great ending to a great week. Haven't done anything worthwhile, I feel worthless and falling further behind. Oh well, I suppose it's been like that for 6 months, I'm not expecting it to change now. I hope my Chinese connection comes through with that bulk order of TMBA, that would cheer me up a little bit. We went out to dinner at Ravello's yesterday, I got a phone call from Bridget at about 6:00 pm saying that Red and her friend from Sydney Nina (the Israeli girl) were going out there to dinner and wanted to know if we would come. It wasn't too bad, had a very hot pizza (more on this later) and a good time. We went and bought some beer's and went back to Bridget's room and watched Blue-Heelers. By the time I had finished my alcohol (10:30) I was feeling decidedly pissed, and so went back to my room and crashed out. Woke up for no reason at 3:00 am and couldn't get back to sleep until 4:30 am. Was very hot for no particular reason. Next day (today) woke up at 10:30 am and got into the lab feeling rather crook. Combination of pizza burning it's way through my lower intestine and too much strong beer. Got Szusza's stuff today, but didn't get here reply email in time to get it too her. She was off to a bit of a "hen's-night" with Sharon and her girlfriends from the Ball. Put the film from the Ball in today for developing, should be great to get those back. I wonder if anyone actually reads this stuff once I put it up on my web-page? I mean Szusza says she's read it once, but what about anyone else? I mean when I'm surfing (rarely) and I come across an interesting page, and there's a diary, I won't stop and read it all, but I will at least maybe read a day or two out of pure curiosity to know what their life is like. So is that what happens to my entries, they gather a fair bit of dust and then some rare interested stranger might read the most recent one to see what's happening, and never return? I guess it's the sort of person you are. I'm definitely a Bio person, I want to know where a person was born, what their cat is called, all those little bits of meaningless trivia which make strangers people. A picture is just a picture, it can be enhanced, fiddled, of someone else or whatever, but I think real truths come out of what people write. I mean if people are dedicated enough to write a long Bio and post it, that's much more work than just sticking up a photo. I find faces in photo albums, but I find people in their biographies. Wow, what a cool quote! Another one for the night and it's not even 11:30 pm yet.
