It has occurred to me that for various reasons, I have not done my full makeup for months and months. I don't recall doing make-up since before getting the extensions in. Thankfully I have time to practice before the Ball, but I'm not sure of what effect there will be given the dry state of my skin. More on this later I think.
Got an email from Soba today, she is back in Berri with some awful flu thing. She asked me where I was going for my lifestyle? I will email her soon, but if I think I can summarize it as 1) Clear acne, 2) Start Electro, 3) Begin Estrogens, 4) Get facial work done, 5) Move to full-time. Given the costs involved and the necessity of finishing my Ph.D. I not expecting # 5 for at least 4-5 years.
Spoke to Mum and Dad tonight ~6 pm, so it was good to hear from them. Nothing too exciting to report at home really.
My backlog of domestic chores is getting longer and longer, I'm sitting next to a small mountain of washing which needs to be done, and tonight I need to shave for tomorrow's appointment. Thankfully I don't have to go for a run though. Got an email from Nikki which was nice, I will do coffee/lunch with her tomorrow.
Tonight Jules brought home a burn of "Phantom Menace" on CD. Boy did that movie suck, the holes in the plot-line were big enough to drive the death-star through.
This morning I phoned the CB Hotel to make a reservation, the woman was very brusque and so I feel I will ring to confirm it. I got into the lab at ~9:10 am and the lecture series was on at 9:30 am. It was actually rather useful. The lecturer discussed the Heck and Stille reactions which I hope to use soon. Still, getting up that early on a regular basis doesn't really excite me.
Work was OK today. Worked on correcting my report and put a trial reaction on. Downloaded the SETI@ home screensaver for the PC at work which is pretty cool to see.

11:30 pm – Just had a shower, I've developed the habit of turning on the hot water in the adjacent shower so that it generates heaps of steam. With the room full of steam, I don't need to run my shower as hot so it's better for the skin I guess. Also, in an attempt to increase my fruit intake, every time I take a shower (now days about every second day for obvious reasons) I take a tangelo or a mandarin. When I get out of the shower I no longer get the sugar/water cravings I used to get which was costing me a fortune over time in diet coke.
Dinner tonight like yesterday was real pasta with stir-in sauce. I'm hoping that this pseudo-carbohydrate loading maybe useful come Sunday's race.
