There are some recent things that kind of **** me off at the moment. Mainly things I've heard on the news. So. In no particular order.

GCSE's. For the past few years about this time of year "officials" have been saying that exams are too easy and need to be harder because too many students are getting good grades. Um...yeah...how exactly is that a bad thing? It might not be to do with the exams. It could be the quality of teaching they've received or the studying they've ...

Argh. It's too hot. My cousin's still touring Australia with her boyfriend. They say it's winter there at the moment and most locals are too cold when it's 30 degrees. Reason one for why I could never go to Australia. I'd melt. More precisely burn then melt. I was starting to wonder since it'd been 3 months since they updated their travel blog.

I hate the kind of weather we have at the moment. Naturally you'd think the hottest part of Summer would be midsummer. Oh well. On the plus ...

How hard can it be to make a lemon meringue pie?
As it turns out it's very hard. This is my third attempt. First I used a premade short crust pastry, the same one I used for my pumpkin pie. That turned out pretty well I guess.

Last month I was watching Gunslinger Girl. Now I'm watching Saikano. I seem to have strange tastes. On the subject of taste; I don't like vegetables. They're pretty boring. They rot quickly. You have to wash and peel them. Since I'm feeling sick I don't want to eat much but I figured something light would be good.

We had a salad in the fridge. I didn't make it. It's premade. I kind of object to premade salad. It's surely more expensive than doing it yourself but mostly I object to ...

For the past two days we've been playing Scrabble. I've never actually played grown up scrabble before. I had Junior Scrabble when I was little. Quite a few years ago (when my now dead uncle and his wife used to live nearby) they gave me scrabble one Christmas. But I never played it. The box was left in the spare room until now. It's not that I've never wanted to play Scrabble. It's just that I've had no one to play with. I've been thinking of playing it for a while but I had to find the game. I ...
