Projector

Do you think I can get a projector so I can watch DVDs in the bath? That would just suit me because "lying still relaxing in a bath" and "watching an English language DVD" are often both activities which take up *half* my concentration.

I might have to get one that can squish an image into hexagonal shape so when projected onto a corner it looks right. And maybe a house with a different shape bathroom. (I don't want to have the projector *in* the room, even sealed up, that's just asking for trouble. But I don't mind if the quality isn't perfect.)

(no subject)

I'm still regularly tweaking my todo list system, trying to find what works for me. And trying to find something that isn't regularly purged as I lose track and start over with the things I *really* need to do this week.

I think I need to move to a database based system, where I reliably orthogonally categorise things. (Eg. things I must do this week, and things I want to do, both of which may have some items put in "do today" :))

The current tweak is to have a "worried" section. My greatest failure mode is when I leave something undone and it becomes a massive bugbear and I'm scared to anything. Anything that might be getting that way -- or anything I just want to keep in mind, but not do anything specific about -- goes there. And then if I start to lose it I can drop everything else and face up to that until I'm in sync with reality again :)

I've also started transferring regular chores to a web-based reminder service, and thence to my inbox, which is a natural part of the day's todos, and I can either do them, or, if necessary, delete them in the confidence they'll come back next week and not be forgotten forever.

Lemon cake

I'm supposed to bring a dessert to a party on Sat. I will buy something from Marks and Spencer's. But it feels like a complete cop-out not to even try to make one.

I've never made sweet things, all my cooking has been main-course-y, because desert is nice, but I don't care as much as some people. So I might yet try. It should ideally be moist and made ENTIRELY OUT OF LEMONS.

Does anyone want to help me on sat aft...??

Jack's happy post

I realise I've kind of slacked off on the happy posts. Well, I just checked this month's posts, and they're all happy posts, apart from the rant about crypto-anti-feminists. Which is an average of two a day, which is doing quite well.
