Blogging Hiatus

After almost a month off, I'm back in the swing of things. While I've been away, I've encountered and survived the following:

* chemistry final exams
* jetlag (eastbound and westbound varieties)
* Christmas
* food poisoning
* a high-speed train trip from Belgium to Germany, with food poisoning
* allergic reactions to curry
~and~
* that really bad cold-with-a-fever thing that seems to be going around

None the worse for wear, I look forward to blogging again! I'm working on some stuff that should be up in the next few days. Happy New Year!
