Was taking my usual afternoon nap in my office, fluffy eye mask, thick neck pillow, hearing aid off, snoozing in the corner. Woke up to an electrician on a ladder installing new plugs into the ceiling.
What a sight he must've seen, and what a sight for me to wake up to 😂

This morning I was fishing out chia seeds from the kitchen sponge and I couldn't help but realise the process and overall look was very similar to pinching out blackheads from one's skin 😓

Mum and I have been re-watching House MD episodes most evenings and lately my snarkiness has gone up a bit 😅
I need to go find more TV series with Sherlock-esque characters and figure out the ones I haven't seen. 🤔

Feeding the vampires for a bit then sheltering from this god awful heat. In the meantime, guess my age!
My age now is unfortunately not prime,
but both its divisors are indeed so.
The two digits themselves are also prime,
their product 20 years younger, as numbers go.

Every time mum and I wind up with those small cheapass bulk mini spring rolls with barely anything inside them we both love to break out the sweet chili sauce 😂
(I really should just make them myself if I want to enjoy them with more substantial fillings, hmm)

After pretty much driving to work on working days, today I randomly decided to walk on a whim because there was a local Christmas market today.
Literally takes me 10-15 minutes to walk to work because there's a convenient walking track shortcut. Sheesh, past me. 🙄

One of my past students just recently landed a software engineering role at a major bank and I'm tempted to snark "Hopefully they don't make you work in the COBOL mines!" 🙃

I'm skimming Leah Edelstein-Keshet's Mathematical Models in Biology and came across this adorable illustration 🥰
Having heard her give a talk it really puts a level of charm and gentleness into her writing 😊

Just a FYI for fellow Mastodoners, I've started recording and posting short cello videos on the weekends but can't do so on this server (and I respect that I'd otherwise be taking up precious server resources!)
I'm slowly building up the other platforms, but look for matthras_music on YouTube or Instagram (TikTok to come), but otherwise matthras on most other platforms have them as well.

I dislike the error function being shortened to "erf" because every time I read it I imagine a crusty old stooping frail man with a massive overbite trying to croak out a sound through a congested and stuffy throat, slobbering spittle the whole time.
"Erffff, erf. Errrrrrrf."

I finally sat down and watched Ep 1 of Utopia after enough friends were saying it was eeriely representative of their workplaces and....holy shit 🤣
But I can't binge this. I'd definitely lose all faith in humanity 😂

Some random fiddling with the aperiodic monotile pipes version. Discovered some symmetry if I had an empty hexagon in the middle 😳

Today's random thought: If there was an animal (anime character or otherwise) that is suited to maths, what would it be? 🤔
I'm also encouraging suggestions of the complete opposite because I like ironic humour (e.g. a goldfish extremely short memory span would be bad for maths)

It's only two months into my PhD and my brain will NOT stop drafting scripts and throwing around ideas for the 3 Minute Thesis competition ugggh. Even though I probably won't participate like, probably not even next year 🙄. I've resigned to dumping them in my Obsidian.

If there's one thing maintaining my sanity in this PhD its shamelessly giving my model stupid names (still marginally based off some relevant feature or change confined with an obscure reference).
v3 has hereby been dubbed "Glob glob glob"
