Nearly done with September and this is my first post of the month :( Film work's stepped up a gear as we shoot in 3 weeks :). Was going to write one the other week but I went off on a rather angry tangent about what was happening in the news at the time, not quite in the spirit of this chipper blog :)
Another reason is that the NFL season is in full-swing, which takes up a notable portion of my life :)
Anyway, it's now merely 2 weeks until I begin the aforementioned journey I've been going on about. October 5th is day 1 of the 1460 it'll take to get the BSc. (hons) portion of my mission to doctorhood...

At the same time as I shat the proverbial, I also found myself excited at the reality of it all. I am now a student, ready to learn all that is thrown at me (or at least give it a damn good shot)
My science background...

So it finally happened, as much as I have tried to avoid it I have been unable to stop the inexorable journey towards my 30s.
This does now mean that the tagline at the top "Join the journey of a 30 something....." is now factually correct.
This week has been quite eventful, not just for me but for the planet as a whole (and no this is not me being horribly arrogant and narcissistic)
The most expensive, complex and adventurous mission since the moon-landing was a great success. I am of course talking of the Mars Science Laboratory rover mission to Mars, commonly known as "Curiosity".

So it's been a few weeks since the last blog post and since then there have been a few updates.
If you have been following us on the social networking sites you will have noticed the pages have become alot more active in the last week or two.
