Writer's Block: Daily Grind

[Error: unknown template qotd]

A typical weekday.

1. (a) Wake up to alarm at 6:30.
(b) Wake up to alarm at 7:00
(c) Get disturbed enough by the cat before the alarm goes off that I get up anyway.
2. Go to the toilet.
3. Let cat out.
4. Wash face.
5. Read e-mails, LJ, whatever.
6. If making lunch for work, make lunch. (Usually this will entail my 6:30 wakeup instead of the 7am one).
7. Around 7:15 eat breakfast in front of computer.
8. Around 7:40 get dressed, brush teeth, get stuff together for work - not neccessarily in that order.
9. 8:00 head to work.

Bookworm

So, I finished "Krakatoa: The Day The World Exploded" yesterday. Interesting read, it covered way more than the actual eruption, being a crash course in Indonesian history, biogeography, geology and religion as well.

So I bought a new book. It was a case of wanting a new book to read NOW and not having enough to time to go the library.

The book I bought is simply called "Bad Science" and it's by Ben Goldacre. It pretty much covers the medical and health myths in our society and the bad (more non) science behind them perpetuated by the media and salesmen rather than actual scientists.

As I was reading the intro I was thinking to myself, "Oh, I bet he has a ball with things like detoxes and ear candles". I wasn't disappointed, a few pages later in the first chapter he attacked BOTH.

I think I'm going to enjoy reading this book. I hope it opens my eyes a bit.

ETA : Ah, it seems the man has a blog.
