Definitely living up to my moniker[*] today!
Woke up, as I so often do, in Oxford. Promptly headed into London. This time, my destination was not Imperial College, but Queen Mary University of London. There, I was meeting with a colleague who is also a new post-doc on the T2K experiment and also did his doctorate at Stony Brook under CKJ. I barely knew him back then, as I finished up shortly after he arrived, but we have been starting to coalesce into a team at our new positions.
After our meeting at QM finished, I started heading back to Oxford. Indeed, I am writing this -- as I do with many entries of late -- from Ye Olde Oxforde Tubee[**].
Upon arriving back in Oxford, however, I shall not be staying long! I intend to clean up a bit at the new flat and collect![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cheshcat. Then we are off again!
Where are we off to, you may fairly ask. Tonight's entertainment is a return to Stratford-upon-Avon. There, we will see the Royal Shakespeare Company perform Loves Labours Lost. This will be the nineteenth performance that I have seen by the RSC[***]. It has been about nine weeks since I last saw the RSC do anything -- I need to be a good theatre junkie and keep feeding the habit!
After that, we return to Oxford where I shall sleep, as I so often do.
It seems that recent events have conspired to turn Oxford into less of my home city and more of my base-of-operations. With a job in London, a passion for travel, a sweetie in the rural middle of nowhere, an addiction to Stratford-on-Avon, et cetera, et cetera, and so forth... well, I have been back from the States for twenty-five days now, and only two of them have not involved doing something outside of Oxford! Quite a change from the early days of when I was living here -- still without a car -- when I could go weeks without leaving Oxford!
[*] "Nomad", that is. What did you think I meant?
[**] Thank goodness for mobile broadband! It has made this commute so much more productive!
[***] Also, just for the record, it will be eighteenth trip to Stratford (as one time we went on a Saturday for two plays). It will also be the eighteenth play that I have seen the RSC perform (as I saw them put on Richard III twice). It will be the seventeenth Shakespearean play that I have seen RSC perform (as I once saw them perform MacBett -- an Ionesco parody of MacBeth). And it will be the seventeenth RSC show that I have seen withcheshcat, who has accompanied me on all but two of these expeditions!
