Today I finally started writing the first discussion section of my thesis. This is a relief like you wouldn't believe! Finally all the data wrangled, analysed and correctly presented for half of my project! Now I can start to speculate wildly about its significance. My supervisor tells me that the commonest error in PhDs is to over-analyse data. I can absolutely see why... faced with data that you've ate, slept and breathed for the best part of a year, failing to make any connections with anything else or for it to be trivial is just unthinkable. Must... take... care... must... add... caveats...
In other news, I've invented another beetle:

This one is an ungodly hybrid between an Egyptian dung beetle and a Floridian orb-web spider. He cute!
hobbit_dave thinks that I should mount them and flog them on Etsy. I have quite the collection now, and prints sell for around $30 and originals for much more... and MAN am I broke. I've tried to get a part-time job this week, but short of escorts and care assistants, there is sod all around. Even Ikea aren't hiring, Goddamn them.
Also, anyone out there alive? You're darned quiet these days...
