Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Godamnit Tim, your secret e-mail games just aren't funny any more, and the restraining order I got prevents this kind of thing as well, and you know it as well as your lawyer...
If this continues though, I will be forced to go to this site and enter the e-mail addresses of every single person I know, which I believe would result in you all getting one of these messages...ahahahahahaaaaaa...

In other somewhat puzzling events of today, I went metaphorical cap in hand, and with scabby face, to see my supervisor, who greeted me in the friendly 'what the hell happened to you? 'fashion I have become accustomed to over the last couple of days, and then said:

"Did you know you were about to be de-registered?"

To which I replied:

"?!!!"

It transpired the proposal I thought I had submitted 3 months ago, er, wasn't. So there was grovelling to the Dean of Post-Grad studies answering machine, followed by acting as my supervisor's personal secretary (he had a lecture to give in 10 minutes and was not a fast enough typist to get his handout done.) In short I have to have something in by the end of the week. No problem (I hope); at last in fact, someone forcing me to do work on pain of death, just what I needed (discipline me Post Grad Studies department, discipline me! Oh yes!). All-nighter for me tonight I think anyway.

Right, off to congeal a bit more. As of this morning the police are on the (my? No, the police aren't on my case, they're on the case of the guy who took my money...or something...) case. Updates will be posted.
Oh, and Vanilla Coke tastes like Russian fudge.
