Today's resolution: I will never drink a litre of iced coffee in 4 hours ever again.

On the bright side, I got more than RDI of calcium!! (which is a rare occurence for me - check back in 50 years or so i'm guaranteed to get osteoporosis or something like that - I've already had a bout of juvenile arthritis even though that's probably completely unrelated to osteoporosis) On the downside, i'm still on a complete high - to the point where i'm listening to antiskeptic and even vaguely enjoying it (to be honest i actually really like clear to pass from aurora) but enjoying the punk beat and singing... agh - hence the resolution.

I managed to do absolutely nothing productive for all of today (mostly thanks to Dan coming up to visit) - watched all of series 7 of red dwarf though ;) anyone want to research down syndrome or congenital rubella for me? i'm so lazy.

Oh good, normality is being restored - the blurry guitar and over-the-top drums and punk voice are starting to irritate me. yay! but there's punk rock and punk rock... (flashback to my one-gig history as a keyboardist for a punk/heavy band - that was fun, even if i couldn't hear anything properly for weeks afterwards - somehow i don't think i can pull off the rock-chick image properly)

*flicks through aurora cd* - total number of tracks i enjoy (i.e. >like) has just risen to three. one of them is 32 seconds long and has no singing in it... does that one count?

Had dinner at with some of the international girls - 3 malaysians, 2 singaporeans, 3 japanese, 1 korean and me (whatever i am) and we all jammed into a room at barahineban (self-catered motel quality rooms with ensuite, kitchenette, airconditioning, etc.) it was fun with people bringing random dishes from their culture - next time i'm doing a 'how to cook australian' (me of all people) or maybe italian that's easier... or maybe i can demonstrate my current staple diet of instant noodles with tuna... eep.

Maybe bedtime now i hope the iced coffee's worn off
Merry christmas to all and to all a good night!

Now playing -- Antiskeptic - Clear to Pass

I am nothing but a slave, as self belief will lie and keep me down...
