Hello out there! If you’re reading this, you’re probably a bit lost. On the off-chance that you are actually here to read about this blog and its author, here are some highlights.
The title “SELECT * FROM Shane” is a simple SQL statement that essentially means “select all columns in the data table called Shane,” or in non-geek-speak, “Everything in Shane.”

I’ve been stressed recently.
Ever since I left uni in 2007, I’ve wanted to go back. My Honours year was the best year of my life (I’ve had better days, like my wedding and Annie’s birth, etc, but taken as a whole, 2007 was the best year), and I wanted to go on to study a PhD, become a doctor…

It’s been a long time since I last posted in this blog, and an even longer time since I was regularly posting. There are a number of reasons for this, which I will attempt to go into in this entry.

Two days short of Annie’s one-month birthday, I have returned to my blog to add some photos and a brief Annie update.
Things are going quite smoothly so far. Being a parent is a lot of work, but also (so far) a lot of fun. Annie is sleeping quite well and is a very placid baby, so she is mostly a joy to look after. She is a hungry little bugger, and is happy to feed from breast or bottle, which is excellent news for situations where we are out in public or when Katie has left me alone with her for a while.

The last few days (since Friday to be specific) have been incredibly busy for Katie and myself. Rather than attempt to recount the amazing newsworthy events of this time on this blog at this late and sleepless hour, I shall just copy and paste an email I sent in to work this morning. Here it is.

A recent study suggests that the baby brain phenomenon – you know, the one that makes pregnant women leave the iron on for five hours and not realise, or lock themselves out of the house on a weekly basis – may not be a pregnancy-specific condition.
Research conducted suggests that there is no mental deterioration that occurs when a woman falls pregnant. Which would suggest that blaming the ‘baby brain’ may not be as viable an option as it once was.

In my daily lunchtime-wasting internet crawl today, I stumbled across an interview with Robin Hobb, bestselling author of (among other series) the Assassin’s Apprentice Trilogy, which I own, signed by her, and of which I have read the first volume.
Although interviews asking writers how they find the time to write are a-dime-a-dozen, I haven’t really read one since it became a real issue for me. Since starting full-time work, and getting married and starting a family, basically. And it really hit home this time. With my life destined only to get even more full of non-writing activity, I’ve begun to realise that it would be all too easy to just stop writing, and never pick it back up again.

It’s February 4 today.
Which means the baby is two days late.
