yep. the sea. and that's some famous ship. hms something.

its been an interesting couple of hours. i went to the letting agents and sat waiting for about 10mins because the guy was running late so that put me right off. we got into his car and drove to the place in fratton which wasn’t all bad, but wasn’t great either. the location was pretty wank and it was going for £525 or something. on the way back i asked about other properties and he said he could show me one for £570 and i said i’d have a look. as we were in the car he also mentioned one for way more and i thought i might as well have a look, since i’m here and my other appointment wasn’t for an hour or so. killing time etc.

so the builders were still in there having lunch when we walked in and this place is so fucking money. its massive compared to the others i’ve seen and way bigger than my flat. the open plan kitchen lounge is wizard and its all brand new. sure its unfurnished and i’ll be completely broke living there but i have to admit, its one of the nicest flats i’ve ever been in. “i’ll take it” i said after about 5mins.

when i thought about a flat in portsmouth i wanted somewhere near portsmouth harbour train station and i could – well, perhaps not me, but someone who was good at throwing could throw something at it and probably get it after a couple of tries. its close is my point.

the downside is, apart from the extortionate rent, its not as close to the chinese supermarket as i wanted but its only a mile away. plus no fibre optic.

so i’ll be staying in for the next two years (my contract) and eating boiled rice but i’m really looking forward to it.

fuck.yeah.

“the sun as you’ve never seen it before: this picture was taken at night! it was taken looking down through the earth! and it was taken not with light but with neutrinos! neutrinos are ghostly subatomic particles produced as a byproduct of the nuclear reactions that that generate sunlight in the heart of the sun . whereas light takes about 30,000 years to work its way from the centre of the sun to the surface, neutrinos take about 2 seconds. eight minutes later they arrive on earth. so neutrinos show us what is happening in the sun now.”

fuck.yeah.

toilet of tomorrow. today.

i’ve been looking for a fuck.yeah. post for a while but nothing really did it for me. until i saw this.

admittedly inax’s satis asteo washlet isn’t as advanced as some of the others (it doesn’t have urine temperature analysis or some amazing bidet functions) but it does have that sweet nighlight.

jim al-khalili

i found out today i work with jim al-khalili’s wife. i heard her talk about going up to london for an o.b.e ceremony so asked about it. she said her husband was being presented with it this week for his work in physics.

“physics?” i beamed. “what field?”

she replied something along the lines of “theoretical nuclear physics”

“that’s so cool” i said. then i realised. “not…jim…”

“yeah”
