Woohoo - Wordpress rocks!

I’ve just managed to import everything into Wordpress: scepticaemia.wordpress.com.


This is officially my last post here which I’ll leave for a few months before deleting this blog permanently.

The Sisyphean Task

Ya know, I’m trying to migrate my tumblelog from jools.tumblog.com to scepticaemia.blogspot.com but there doesn’t seem to be any easy way to achieve this.
Despite the limitations of Tumblr, I may be sticking with them for a while as the other is just TOO hard right now.  Maybe I’ll give wordpress a go.  Stay tuned.  This is chewing up far too much time as it is, but it’s one of those things I will probably continue to pursue in lieu of studying!

Coraline

Unable to get to sleep after the tennis final, I read Coraline by Neil Gaiman.  It’s a wonderful children’s book that most adults find a little scary.  A bit of a twisted take on teaching children to “be good to your mother”, “be careful what you wish for”, “things are not always what they seem” and lots of other adages.

Button-eyes like a character from the Coraline movie

They’ve made a movie in 3D stop-motion animation.   The website is great fun for little kids (and big kids) - you need broadband though!  The picture above was made on the website.

Poor Federer

Stayed up late to watch the end of another epic 5 setter: the men’s singles final of the Australian Open.  Maybe Roger thought that Nadal had been softened up for him by Verdasco, but Nadal didn’t even look tired.  Nadal  called the trainer to the court between sets for a massage; something he’s never done before, but hung in there to take the match.  No wonder Federer was overwhelmed with the emotion of loss at the end.
