WHY IS THE KETTLE COVERED IN ANTS?

Seriously, there are small particles of food - many of them sticky and sugar-based! - all over our less-filthy-than-usual-but-still-dirtier-than-most-people-would-find-acceptable kitchen, but it is the kettle that they were swarming all over. Did someone sneak in while I was sleeping and cover it with a fine ( Read more... )

In a whimsical case of Worst. Timing. Ever, I woke up this morning feeling like a truck had hit me. I was fine last night, and then some time this morning between getting up and eating breakfast (i.e., about ten minutes), I came over all hit-and-run. Trouble breathing, weak as a kitten, knees and hips like a particularly rheumatic octogenarian, and ( Read more... )

So! My Very Last English Exam Ever, Please God And All His Tiny Angels, is tomorrow, and I'm strangely worried about it. I mean, I was good at showing up at tutorials and talking like I actually knew what was what, and my essays got a B+ and A+, respectively, so even if I bomb this exam the outcome should be generally favourable, no?

$85 for a five-minute dental exam. They did excellent work on my wisdom teeth, but I am finding another dentist. One that is nice to students relying on their patient and hardworking parents for money ( Read more... )

Note to self: green tea is soothing antioxident-rich vegan-approved hippy juice, but it's still caffeinated. Stop after four pots in a row.

P.S: Yay! The accounting trolls have given me my tax number! It only took two and a half months.

Harrumph. After days of relative warmth and intermittant sunshine, this afternoon has turned to the drizzle and biting wind that Wellington is famous for. However, the tree outside my window has burst into white blossoms, which are blowing all over the construction site. Mmm ( Read more... )

Someone, someone whose head I must crush like a small and half-rotted melon when I discover their identity, filled my teacup with soapy water over night. I cannot decide whether this was meant to be well-intentioned or not, but I rinsed the mug four times and my tea still tastes like detergent.

Tea 'healthier' drink than water - Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers.

I cannot tell you how much this pleases me, given that I've been drinking more tea than water for years.
