The skeptics have posters up around uni which bear a quote from Darwin's bulldog, Thomas Huxley: "The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence."

With respect, I reckon ol' Hux is wrong there. There are two far worse sins against the human mind. The first is believing things despite the evidence. The second is trying to convince others to do the same.

CPAP heyah for your sleep apnoea

I'm now the proud owner of my very own CPAP machine. I had no idea the things stored so much information! All these graphs came out of the trial machine, showing that the leaks I'd been worried about were actually nothing to worry about, and that it was preventing almost all of my apnoeas; but I was Still having episodes of less serious, but nonetheless sleep-disrupting, hypoxias. So I hacked it and cranked up the pressure from 8 to 9 (centimetres of water) and I've had three exceptionally good nights' sleep in a row. It was jolly weird yesterday not to be hit with grogginess even once. Experience has taught me never to think "Whew, I am cured of my sleepiness", but I'm always inching in the right direction. Or centimetring in the right direction.

Oh, that's weird. You know how falling in love makes pop lyrics suddenly seem meaningful? Apparently the same is true for Obama's victory. I'm just listening to Styx's Rockin' The Paradise, which might as well have been written about current events.

That's it. Chapter five, 5500 words. Of which several were various misspellings of "accomodate" and at least three were misspellings of the protagonist's goddamn name.

Next step is to rework the outline into something another human being might have some chance of comprehending.
