I do think Alain Ducasse's 85% Équateur — Nacional Arriba from the Hacienda Felicidad — is the best chocolate I've tasted. Very herbal and earthy, astringent green tea, yet with some subtle and sweet dried berry notes too.

Looks like I'm going to have to send the Oakley Tombstone back. It just doesn't fit properly.

I may or may not have done pretty well on today's exam. Went through it 3 times just to make sure — not only because it was the kind where you had to shade in circles (for computer marking) and I had to make sure I hadn't skipped a line or something (I did, on one question).

Nothing to do with social taboos or even appearance — simply that waist-length hair gets tangled up in bag and camera straps very easily, not to mention the dangers of train doors at rush hour etc.

Sounds like:

  • Blood loss
  • Walk away
  • Sign papers
  • Clean up
  • Dig your own grave

At least, that's my general experience with data migration.

The modern cat doesn't kill rodents manually.

I'll probably get mine cut to shoulder length this summer. I've had it at waist level for 3 years now and am getting quite bored of it — that and the inability to go out with my hair down, ever. Occasional headaches from hair being up too.

I pretty much only wear black, grey, and blue. Very hard to make them clash, unless you wear something like midnight blue with indigo jeans.

Just got a call from a friend who broke up with her boyfriend after a rather scary argument last night. Involved throwing things around and physical contact by both.

They're not in the same apartment anymore, which is what's important…now it's just the emotional side to be sorted out.
