I don't feel terribly well.
But tonight I am seeing Roky Erickson in Camden. I am torn between excitement at seeing a true pioneer performing his (fucking twisted) magical tunes, and excitement at getting back into bed afterwards.

A day of opposites. You?

I've got a cold coming on it seems, so I'm not too happy about that
Unfortunately, if I get a thick head at work, I cease to function, so I'm going to start on the Lemsip this morning, hopefully clear my head a little.

I'm still on a high from a fantastic weekend though, and get to sleep in tomorrow!

I'm making a black and white stripey corset for a customer which looks really cool so I'm happy
but I'm all alone in the house all day and all night this week so I'm a bit sad. I also have lots of college work to do which I keep ignoring because it's hard.

I'm going to try and experiment with rainbow cakes this afternoon to see if I can use a biscuit icing thing (which looks like a giant comedy syringe) to layer the colours better. I'm hoping I can be all "BOOM PURPLE! BOOM BLUE" etc.

You probably don't find any of those things interesting.

No it's more carnival style than zebra.
I did make a bee corset once though because I found ribbon that had bees on it.

I do actually find the college work really interesting, but when I say it's hard I mean it's time consuming really. On the particular module I'm doing I've got to collect together information, brochures and samples from companies like stone masons and joiners before I can write an essay to answer the question, so it's the faffing around of emailing companies and requesting a brochure before I can actually sit down and answer the question. The essay writing is fine, I can rattle off an essay in an hour but collecting all the info is annoying. And I then get bombarded with phone calls and emails asking me when I want to install the oak flooring I requested a sample for.

i have just had to spend £100 on 100 coat hangers from john lewis
because i simply cannot find anywhere else that sells them online. well ok, i only looked there. even i feel this to be a total waste of money. they are only plastic ones!

this is a combination of having to buy loads of new clothes because the ones i was wearing now look ridiculously baggy (yay for the gym) but i can't get back into my super-skinny ones yes (doom for the christmas holidays) and having a new flatmate who might want to hang something up, the selfish bitch.

i am also trying to fit all the stuff from the double wardrobe and chest of drawers in my spare room into my room so she actually has somewhere to put her stuff. it is like trying to stuff a saveloy into a cocktail sausage :(

It started off when I was answering a question about what superpower I'd like to have
"Flying - Wow! It's awesome! Who wouldn't want to fly? Well, me for a start. I'm assuming this really is a one power only thing, and so the only special thing about you would be that you could fly. So, you'd freeze to death, or not be able to breathe. I call that one a FAIL. Even if I'm wrong, and you don't die, it'd still be a bit shit because it's a really obvious superpower, and once people knew you could fly it'd be all like "Ooh save me!" and even if you couldn't be arsed or were busy or drunk or some shit like that. Also, once people know you can fly, your city is under constant attack. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH COUNCIL TAX WOULD GO UP IF THERE WAS A MONSTER/SUPERVILLIAN ATTACK EVERY WEEK?!?! It's just selfish really."

I frequently find it's a better experiment all round if I leave my trousers at the door of the lab.

Erm...not you, the other sort of lab...

I'm reviewing documentation
which includes the sentence "Development solutions to fulfil user requirements will include enhancements via additional and new functionality to enhance existing current business processes whether manual or automated."

Quite apart from "Enhancements... to enhance" being an abomination, it's just meaningless. And there's another 30 pages of this.

On the upside, when I get home tonight I will have a slow-cooker full of venison stew. I took your advice, Monty, and it's 1/3 stewing beef. I'll be adding the wine for the last hour of cooking and some mushrooms and serving it with parsnip mash. I CAN'T WAIT.

So what's the benefit of cutting it with a small amount of cow?

I assume it'll stop the venison from drying out

It makes it a little less dense and the fat adds richness,
as venison has almost none. Also the variety of texture is pleasing.

Makes sense
That does sound very agreeable.
Edit: Since I've got you on meat, know ye of a goode recipe involving taile of oxen?

Not specifically
but I have had some fucking great oxtail in Jamaican places. I'd look into a Caribbean recipe.

It got the thumbs up from my cook friend
unlike Chompy's roux suggestion which got a scornful chuckle and some headshaking.

I have finished
wallpapering the sitting room, a project which has been plagued with difficulty for I am crap at this......
Today I shall be painting but can't decide which colour to go for.I like quite bold colours but it is a very small room with not much light. At the moment I am sat shivering, lightheaded and nauseous with very poor vision in one eye - last time I sleep in my lenses.

Ouch!
Lense pain is bad! Get your eyes burned better!

thought about it
but decided against it - apparently it can cause problems with night vision and mine is rather poor to begin with. Not in pain, just foggy vision......
