'Twas a week before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except Catherine who was swearing like a banshee...
The Christmas present I had ordered entirely too late arrived this evening. I opened it and was amazed to discover that they'd sent the wrong bloody thing: something I could have easily picked up in store without paying an eight dollar shipping charge. Crap!
The recipe I was following to make everyone else's Christmas presents gave me chocolate powdery mess, rather than something "with the consistency of frosting". I had to use my emergency supply of non-vegetable-fat dairy milk, which I was saving for a really bad day, rather than gifting. Crap!
In random linkage: this is how I feel about blogging.
And in much less rage-inspiring news, just in case anyone missed it, my Heidi had a baby, Nicholas Demetrios Demetriou. He's gorgeous.

Having a bad day, but I'm blogging anyway...
Actually, while I'm throwing out the occasional random thing I want for my birthday, I want to go see The War of the Roses (link only to the first part, because they don't have a combined page). Because 8 hours of Shakespeare sounds simply wonderful. Also, Cate Blanchett as Richard II. (And under 30s get tickets for $30/part, which is cheaper than the student rate...)
Also, I found this article, Men's bra stimulates otome (girlish) side in men and felt I had to link it here. Oh Japan. ("Otome" is more commonly used to mean "maiden/maidenly", so it's not just blokes getting in touch with their feminine side. They're getting in touch with their frilly princess side.)

Yo, all...Been very slack with blogging recently, I know. But it's okay, because the PhD is mostly going along, I survived my review meeting without tears and someday I hope to graduate. Please god let me graduate. Oh, and I moved offices again. Which was probably the best solution to the bee problem (though filling the hole in the wall was a good attempt).


I'm going away to Mudgee tomorrow, to get some driving experience, since I'm only halfway through the practice I need to get my driver's license. I'd like to get my P plates before I go away in December. Have fun without me, and don't burn the place down in my absence.
ETA: I keep forgetting to tell you guys, but I signed up for a cake decorating class. Expect interesting photos once it starts.
