girl & kat: Get Fit. Escape zombies. Become a hero
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2013/04/get-fit-escape-zombies-become-hero.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. Get Fit. Escape zombies. Become a hero. I was running full pelt, but my brains were about to be eaten. Jamming my finger down on the treadmill's speed settings, I slowed to a walk just as my iPhone app announced ". You're making good time! It was lying and had my phone been able to pick up a GPS signal, the ' dinner. Gong would probably have sounded. The app in question is the concise, yet descriptively named ' Zombies, Run! Get Fit. Escape zombies. Become a hero. 8230; cough̷...

girl & kat: May 2012
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. I looked down at my feet in time to see my cat's teeth almost pop out of her jaw through her impassioned screech. I knew the sources of her distress:. We were currently experiencing a magnitude 6.0 earthquake. And she was being pursued by a robotic vacuum cleaner. . Have you seen that thing? Is it a robotic cat? Why does it bump into walls? ITS BUMPING HAS MADE THE WHOLE BUILDING ROCK! HOW COULD YOU HAVE LET IT IN HERE? The stick vacuum can take this area from 'major biohazard' to '...

girl & kat: April 2012
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 28, 2012. A few doors down from my apartment complex is a small shop that sells plants. I've never been inside since - being a small place- there would be the obligation on the shop keeper's side to make polite conversation and only appropriate word I know the Japanese for is 'tree'. The conversation would therefore progress something like this:. Good evening. Are you looking for a particular plant? I'm afraid we don't have anything as big as a tree. How about this small shrub? This crow,...

girl & kat: August 2012
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. My phone was set to silent. None of the keys made a sound. Texts, voice calls and emails screamed like banshee in space. I pressed the camera button and…. 8230; and everyone in the public restroom became rudely aware that I had just taken a photo of a toilet. . When I first discovered this, my second idea was to start wearing cycling shorts under my skirts with immediate effect. The first was to stuff a long flesh coloured sock and hang it from my waist. This is an immensely an...

girl & kat: Vacuums suck
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2013/05/vacuums-suck.html
Thursday, May 2, 2013. Hi My name is Elizabeth. And I'm addicted to vacuum cleaners. . Despite being described as a '2 bedroom', my apartment is really a one bedroom with a main area that can be divided into two by a set of sliding doors. However, if another person were to move in and use half of that space, one of us would end up being tipped over the 9th floor balcony. . This is why I played hockey. So that person wouldn't be me. Occasionally, I clean it. Which brings us to the point of this post.

girl & kat: September 2012
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Japan The only place where a normal end to a conference is to get naked together in one big bath. . I was at a three day ". Leadership Workshop for Female Faculty. The Fuji of the north. Due to the physical resemblance with its famous southern cousin and the similarly exciting possibility of violent death by lava. . Still, the workshop itself was not for mountain gazers. We were timetabled through until 11 pm (not a typo), where the last session was listed as '. This was th...

girl & kat: Moving~!
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2013/05/moving.html
Saturday, May 25, 2013. In a wild, uncouth experiment, I'm moving my blog over to a shiny new writing website I created on squarespace. It has its own url and EVERYTHING. Clearly, I must be a highly professional writer and worthy of the multi-million pound deal you're about to throw my way! 8230; what do you mean ". Don't you have a job? It's a minor point and we're ignoring it. . Anyway, I'm desperately hoping that everyone who read my blog HERE, will come and read my blog THERE. May 26, 2013 at 7:16 PM.

girl & kat: I organise an astrophysics conference at a carnival
http://girlandkat.blogspot.com/2013/04/i-organise-astrophysics-conference-at.html
Sunday, April 28, 2013. I organise an astrophysics conference at a carnival. The physics department at Hokkaido University is organising an international conference and we'd like to see your meeting facilities. Yes, there was a merry-go-round. I'm getting to that. . To give him credit, the receptionist's face did not suggest that this was the most improbable story he had heard in his life and instead called through to the hotel's conference facilities to locate us a tour guide. . Do you speak Japanese?
