I finally found a decent manicurist in Sydney that will do Japanese style 3D nail art.

Consequently they are coming later on in the month and I have no plans. Anyone have interesting ideas? davina78 is suggesting a doof, but we all know how I feel about The Outdoors. The other vague plan was to nerd ( Read more... )

I got very little done yesterday; some minor work for Fiend but spent most of the day locked in my room with my laptop rather than actually cleaning the house and doing chores as I'd intended. Pottered pubwise in the evening for drinks with illykai and tull for chat about the irritations of dating, study, mental health, career plans, ethical and moral ( Read more... )
