Firstly, Happy Birthday to the lovely Celebrimbor! *sends hugs and lots of choklit!*

Stuffness going fine. Found out interesting stuff about synchronous flowering in bamboo for Plants (it's quite impressive when 10 000 square km of bamboo all flowers at the same time, then dies, then grows back and repeats this process approximately once ever 50-100 years!).

Lovely coffee with pincushions and Helen, another friend. Borders' 20% discount means giant coffee currently the same price as a small one is normally. Am getting very keen on idea of getting labwork abroad over summer. Lots of chatting. Lots of coffee. Caffeinated! Eni warning.

Did more laundry - discovered that either a) tumble driers are evil and that day decided that they need you to press the button once for every 10 minutes of drying time you want, or b) there is some evil villain sneaking around using other people's drying time to dry their own clothes...which I think could be done if you are very sneaky indeed.

Either way, clothes came out damp and Eni too stingy to pay for another round in the drier, so room currently filled with clothes hanging over anything over which clothes can be hung. Hopefully they'll dry in the tropical heat of my room (having an aversion to ventilation and an inability to sleep when too cold, my room is typically kept WARM).

Am I hungry? I'm still trying to work it out. I think I am *goes to find some kind of food* A good time of day for toast and marmalade, I think...

EDIT - marmalade plan foiled by suspicious white fluffy organism that said marmalade appears to be culturing. MARMALADE IS NOT MEANT TO GO MOULDY!

Oh, and setting oneself up for a depo shot in Cambridge is far more fiddly than in Manchester. The doctor actually wrote me a prescription! And he couldn't give it to me right there and then, apparently; I have to come back tomorrow. Are male doctors not allowed to give women injections in their butts? But I dicovered that I love the NHS - I thought prescriptions cost money, but this one didn't. *pleased*

You do indeed have to press the button for every 10 minutes... ie if you put in a pund you have to press it 5 times. And the person after you, well it wasn't their fault, it automatically uses what ever credit is there when the next person comes along.

Aaah, well that removes any possibility of me being able to blame a nasty person who goes round removing other people's clothes from the dryer mid-cyle, adding their own and then using the dry time to do theirs instead...

*sulks at wasted 50p*

Living with an actual full-size fridge this year, I have discovered that many things that I would never think would actually go moldy actually DO get moldy, such as:

Butter
Spaghetti sauce (OMGWTF)
Spaghetti (cooked leftovers, of course)
Watermelon

The cheese I expected, yes, but the spaghetti sauce? And BUTTER? There went a whole meal, right there. Blech.

Also, doing laundry at school sucks. Especially now that I'm not on campus and do not have access to machines that will take my FSU card chip money as a method of payment. I must now use actual quarters. Bastards. Thankfully, I've only had to do it once, because the rest of the time I take it home. XD Bwahahahaha! I have beat the quarter-eating system! You will get none of my quarters, foul dryer! *is actually doing laundry at home now*

Butter...mouldy? Wow! That must have been quite an event!

I've seen mouldy margarine, I admit.

Watermelon, yes - at home we always had to throw out the last sixth or so of a watermelon once it started to take on a strange smell and some odd growths. OTOH, penicillin came from a mould growing on melon, as I recall! So maybe we should be glad of melon-mould!

Hooray for home laundry!

Male doctors are allowed to do pretty much anything they want to you unless you object I believe.

Fear reading TUBE on your medical report.

Oh bamboo again. *covers eyes*

I had a teacher that was completely obsessed with that. I mean every class...
ugh!

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Argh! I'm sorry!

*Munches choklit happily and shares with Maedhros.*

Thank you! Ain't RL and stuff like laundry fun???

Oh, absolutely! Thrills all the way! But it stops me going completely loopy, so can't complain.

PS That is one CUTE lil icon!

Thanks! My elfling drew it for me! *Swells with pride.*

Things to make you stop having babies don't cost money because the government don't particularly want people who can't pay for prescriptions having lots of babies they can't support...

I never did use the Driers at Chads. Use the washing machine, take back all the wet clothes (read: socks) in a bag, then hang them up in my room. I had a laundry rack in my room (still do this year and did in my first year) to hang all this on.
