{ this entry is brought to you by the word "mundane" }

So as I said, I've finished my Spooks ficathon entry which is one less deadline I have to worry about. I'm still writing up lecture notes from early last week; I really have to sort that stuff out. Went to Portswood, bought a few bits and bobs. Now time to finish the notes and try to do the prep for next week; that way I can spend tomorrow reading.

No Numb3rs! I don't know how people in the US can stand not knowing when new episodes are going to air; I know we only have shows for half a year in the UK but they're shown consistently, week after week. Oh, speaking of TV, am trying to icon GA and remembering why I quit after the first attempt: it's so difficult! I have good caps but trying to get the colouring to work is driving me batty. I think I'll make about twenty and then wait another year before making more, heh.

OK, off to do boring academia-relating stuffs before I get behind.

{ in which M turns to the almighty flist for aid }

In an effort to learn how to cook properly, I am begging recipes of the flist! Simple foods, quick & cheap to make, please. Requirements:

1) Must be vegetarian friendly

2) Cannot be soup because liquid foods are the death of me

3) Nothing with mushrooms, broccoli or beans

Think you can help me out? Please?

In other news, I watched BSG but can't be bothered to talk about it. Suffice to say I liked it better than Black Market and less than Scar. I'm still making GA icons because I found shiny caps and then got all excited about the color balancing tools. Also, is there anyone who can help me with basic pointers on the curves tool? I can't use presets because I have PSP and I've been using curves for night on six months now but I'm still pretty useless. So, anyone?

The parentals just called; have been waiting for them to do so from, like, Thursday. So now home sounds like a good place to be even if they're living in the pokey little flat and the house is being painted. I seriously just had the battiest conversation with my dad. I was trying to ask whether or not they'd actually bought paint and he was telling me that the paint will go on the walls, as if I wouldn't know that anyway. *brainpalm* Seriously, I'm tired, not impaired (although some may beg to differ).

Oh, apparently this post is all about begging of the flist so: rec me one book, one song/artist and/or one fic. Please. (LASS FOREVER!)
