I'm really into cookbooks lately. Bought two on Monday (one chocolate one of course), and then the research assistant I work with gave me an awesome chocolate cookbook she never uses. So I tried one of the recipes from the chocolate cookbook out. It was Italian Sweet and Sour Chicken. It asked for 80%+ chocolate, so I used 85%. I thought it would have just a hint of chocolate in it, but when I dropped in the chocolate (the last step according to the recipe, the source basicly become a chocolate sauce (for chicken). It was interesting to say the least. I really loved the first few mouthfuls, but then it became kind of overwhelming. My housemates (and Lucy's mum who was visiting) were nice enough to not say anything bad about it.
Anyway, yesterday was a pretty full on day at work at Q-Health. But I followed that up by a short run, a whirlwind trip to Anaconda with Nathan (so he could help me to convince myself that a kayak is a good purchase) and an early bed time (8.30pm, I severely need to catch up on sleep).
Anyway, it was back to PhD mode today, so I decided to walk the talk and catch public transport to uni, to study it's accessibility on the way. What a fiasco. Transinfo now sucks (online, it said I couldn't get anywhere from Elbury street), then I decided to go on previous experience to get the bus to uni, but the bus stop had moved. So I tried to access the service counter, but it was closed, then the electronic kiosk only covered buses leaving from underneath the Myer centre, so I called Transinfo on my mobile and the stupid voice recognition didn't understand me, so it took about 3 minutes to get to an operator. Then I had to breathe in the pollution while I walked to the bus stop, which was in a completely illogical place facing in the opposite direction to uni. From planning my trip to getting to my office it took 2hrs. Now that's not accessible.
It's seems I have quite a lot of work to do in the next two years. My little excursion have me a lot of insight and wisdom though.
