Food

Well, the Thai thing turned out to be rather extravagent. A great deal of fresh ingredients and various dried herbs bought. Thursday was a nutty chicken and pepper dish (slightly let down by my lack of rice noodles, and perhaps not a strong enough nutty flavour). Unfortunately I had to chuck the first batch of rice I made, and rather forgetfully failed to wash then overcooked.

Friday was a green chilli chicken from green curry paste lovingly made by my own two hands, followed by a mango parfait.

Saturday was a sandwich and reheated leftovers :). Not sure what I'm doing tonight, something with chicken.

Study

Now, on Friday afternoon I had a meeting with my Ph.D. Supervisor, feel better for having done so. I have a list of the taught theory postgraduate courses that are running this term, and the knowledge that I need to pay particular attention (as in mucho further reading) to category theory. I have a book and need to borrow books from the library.

Nice term starting again, feels somehow comforting. Oh, and I'm looking forward to learning things, of course.

Shiny Things

In a hopefully unrelated note, aquired Warcraft III off my flatmate yesterday. He bought it on Friday but it was crashing on his computer. So now I've completed the first (human) campaign. It's okay, spiffy graphics of course. As always there is a tradeoff between games that look good and have depth to them, but it doesn't fare too badly in comparison to Warcraft II. The system of hero units is interesting, and I think I like that. Basically it's a lot of fun, but I also want something in the empire-building arena, it's always a shame to leave your painfully constructed base behind.

Been playing Vice City quite a bit recently. Is fun. Great soundtrack. Is great game. Must... resist....
