I realise that it is geeky and vaguely wrong of me, but I am actually grinning in delight at some of the stuff that's on here for National Science Week.

I mean, it's not that terribly exciting, but still...

Oh! The second weekend of it is the one that StAnza's on! So I will have to choose between physics and poetry... I think most of the science stuff that caught my eye was earlier - there was a talk by Dholakia but I've had him for lectures and... well, see if it clashes. I want to go to the meteorites one no matter what, because is meteorites and organic life, which is cool, and hey, this sentence is practically poetry anyway: "The carbonaceous chondrites often carry organic molecules which some scientists believe could have brought early life to Earth."

Still, that ought to be a fun ten days. I am going to do stuff! And I am not going to let bloody work get me down.

Also, Mim and I owe it to fandom to go to the first event. Because it is a joint reading (from his latest book) by Richard Dawkins and his wife Lalla Ward. And that is on the 10th.

I'm sure there's something else that day but I cannot think what. Something me, not public. Hmm. Perhaps I will recall later.

Dammit, I really have to go and work now. Seriously, seriously really do have to. Bugger.

that sounds like fun!

We will have to practise our Not-Here-For-Lalla-Out-Of-Fandomness faces.

Richard Dawkins is married to Lalla Ward?

*headexplodey*

Be sure to arrive early, for not many people fit into the room alongside his enormous ego.

Yeah, doesn't it?

Well, I am there out of Science also. Honest.

It is quite headsplodey.

He is in the Younger Hall, so there may be enough space.

yeah! wish i could go.

*checks self*

I have no geeky badges about my person, and I could wear specs to look Clever. Also, the Canterbury Tales are sort of my thing and it's sort of derivative and... *bleeds*
