David Nicholas forwarded this fascinating article –

-- that makes a broad definition of "autocatalytic set" which elaborates into an explanation for life, the universe, and everything. It turns out that the chicken crossed the road in order to lay an egg so that another chicken could cross another road. And so on, to the Apollo Program and beyond.

We were wondering about the return of Warehouse 13, I asked on rec.arts.sf.tv and got the same reply from a couple of people:
Alphas and WH 13 both return on Monday, July 23.

Apologies to myself for missing yesterday's journal entry - though, to be fair, you brought it on yourself, mate. I better start with a recap, then.
Yesterday
I got my eyes tested. Not good. Having explained how well my lenses where - too good as I'm leaving them in for longer than 12 hours, she immediately pledged to find me some better contacts. Well, I could see the dollar signs in her eyes so protested that I saw no reason to rock the boat. On came extra tests, which involved rolling my eyelids completely up - causing much wincing and discomform. Suprise, suprise, there are problems. Apparently there are "signs of bloodvessel changes near my cornea", these changes are suggesting that not enough oxygen is getting get my eyes. If these changes continue then "at some point" I won't be able to wear contacts. She played the "eye health card", there's no getting round that - so it looks like I'm going to be paying another £7 per month for my plan - taking it back to what I was paying with Scrivens, some thirty quid each month. Boo!
Nights
Clara is currently doing night shifts - beyond her normal allocation because she's keen to do more unsociable hours before she begins her maternity leave. Which reminds me, I need to register for my own baby-related time-out paternity-whatsit. I spent the night sketching, playing Battlefield 3 and then at the time when I should have gone to bed, I put Civilization V on and spent 2 hours as an Egyptian Pharaoh, dutifully building great wonders.
Today
Helping mum get her luggage to the car, more scribbles, more games, more sun - oh boy this hot AND sunny weather is a most welcome change. Given the weather I'm going to make some MAN FOOD for dinner - cooked on MAN FIRE. There will be smoke! Hopefully some nice cucumber salad and some cous cous too.
t-fury
My geek t-shirts arrived! How geeky? D20 SAN roll for anyone who suffers a full-on view of the Great Old One himself Cthulhu "Flatagan Flatagan Ga-hummer-hummer what-ya-call-it R'lyeh" - come on, it's been 25 years since read this stuff!
