Work
Got through a ton of GABA assays, and helped my new supervisor orinteer his way around the place. Smelt some compounds. And actually did all the graphing on the assays the week that I did them rather than wait til I got bugged about it. Need to spend some time getting it into my lab book now.

Social
On Friday night I went out with the girls and saw some bands, the problem was it was a very small room and well made it hard to mix properly.

And the other problem was the band that we were their to see (Labretta Suede and The Motel Six) decided to ignore the no smoking laws, so if they could so did every one in the bar - which sucked massive balls, so I left. They weren't to bad, you can check them out here http://www.myspace.com/labrettasuedeandthemotelsix. But to be honest I liked the first band (no idea what they were called), with a bit more practise and a few sessions in a decent manic depressive state they could be really good. But sound issues aside the venue was very cool, would love jazz there. I also mowed the lawns, I always forget how satisfying a freshly mown lawn can be, I guess that is the same with weeding. Which is the next thing I need to do. I made bread - like kneading and that. Wasn't to bad but the problem i had was the recipe had 4 different yeast measurements i went for the low one, and found out I should have gone for the high one. The next lot will hopefully be better. It certainly looked better after the raising step.

Games
Peggel damn well rocks, it rocks so much it is a rocking rock thing. Now to get Nick

to buy it for me. The demo is all good, but can only play for an hour. Other than that i have seen a lot of TF2. Which is in beta at the moment, and the only way to join the beta is pre-buy the game. So if you have a gamer in your life and they start screaming in their sleep, "Kill the medic" or "SPY" or "Orange Box". They have pre-brought and are playing hard.

Wellness
Going well, even with lunches and that. 76.5kg last week which is the half way mark. Every thing is down hill from there.

Yumminess
Garlic and Cumin Prawns. From the latest foodtown magazine, pg 86 if I remember correctly.

Movies
Hogfather

This was really good, it was a average book. But this made it awesome.

Superbad

This was damn funny - a little bit American but full of laughs. With out the cops it would have been lame though.

The Terminal

Would have been better if they got a Russian rather than Tom Hanks trying to be Russian. Was OK, but I wouldn't suggest it.

Fido

This was just pure odd - and not good as in David Lynch odd. Just odd as in your nice uncle that keeps asking for photos of the kids.

Books I finished 1984 which was actually a little bit disappointing near the end. It is defiantly a book of ideology rather than well written. Which is a shame because it could have been both every easily. But all that aside I do think it is a book that every one should read, and in their early twenty's when your ideology of the world is shaping.

Projects
Nothing to see. Hope the kiln is fixed :/

The only thing I know about the dark is you can't see in it.
