Goodness
Hmm, hard thinking of interesting things to say when all I've really done in the past couple of days has been work. So, it's list time again. Some things that have got the thumbs up from me this week:
1. Heston Blumenthal. I'm loving his BBC 2 programme where he uses daft scientific ideas to create the perfect food. Like today, in order to make bubbly chocolate for a Black Forest gateau, he rigged up some apparatus involving a vacuum cleaner, a clothes packing bag, and ice-cream box, and sucked all the air out to make the chocolate all bubbly before freezing it so it would hold it's shape. Personally, I'd have cheated and used an Aero bar, but that wouldn't make good television and the resultant cake looked delicious.
2. Asda. Not sure whether this should be on the bad list due to it being the pikey-est supermarket around, but it's so cheap! Aside from making me buy 12 tins of tomatoes for 2 quid (4 of these nice brand ones usually cost £1.89 elsewhere), I managed to get a whole outfit for work today for 18 quid (skirt and jumper). And it looks nice, not as cheap and nasty as some of the stuff does.
3. Boots. Not the chemist (although I do like shopping there for nice things), but the footwear. Perfect for winter when worn with skirts, as it doesn't matter if your legs are a bit stubbly for the week before you go for waxing... girls will know what I mean! Although there is a whole argument going on as to whether they are too slutty for work if they are boots with heels, my view is that they aren't (especially as they spend most of the time under a desk out of sight), as long as they're not worn with a mini skirt or PVC or anything...
4. Google Earth. Hours of nosey fun zooming in on tourist attractions and your house, but my area for some reason isn't on very high resolution. Some say it's because there are some army barracks in the area, I'm not too sure why but it's a shame as I can't see my house from the air. Been trying to see some of the Nazca lines figures but have only found some of the trapezoids as yet, for those of you who are interested they're at around 14.43S and 75.08W.
5. This song . My angry-teen-emo-rock phase continues, and I have been listening to an album recently with this on. Respect to Finnish goth-rock bands!
Was going to also list some things that have pissed me off this week, but nothing particularly has so far so I'll have to do that another time.
