I’ll be in Edinburgh tomorrow, for the first time since June last year. I love that city. I can’t wait.
The Anniversary - Sweet Marie
Many people, myself included, found it difficult to fully-accept their change in sound between the first and second albums. If I had to pick one album, I’d pick Designing A Nervous Breakdown, but if I had to pick one song, I’d probably pick this — Sweet Marie, the opening track from Your Majesty.
It definitely belongs on the second album, with its more thoughful sound and, as an opening track, it couldn’t have stated that album’s intentions more clearly: This is different. For that, I should maybe dislike it. But I can’t, because it’s too good.
Coffee taster's tongue insured for $14M
But truly, no dollar amount can espresso the true value of his ability.Wow, that’s a latte cash. What are the grounds for the insurance claim? What if he’s found to have bean lying?
I’ll have to let those questions percolate in my head a bit, lest I be accused au lait-ziness in my thinking.

Watching the people go past, their reactions, and all of the activity in the background, I didn’t want this to end. Fascinatingly brilliant.

I Am Not A Paper Cup
I have fallen in love with these things. They’re like paper takeout coffee cups, but made of porcelain, with a silicone cap. A friend at work got one a few weeks ago and brought it into work today and, as soon as I saw it, I had to get one myself.
Apparently, if she had got me for Secret Santa, this is what she would have bought.
I just bought my own.
I just finished the last level on the Adventure mode of Peggle. And look — I finished the last level on my second attempt! Fist pumping ensued.
Maybe I can think about doing other things now.
