*** crabbies ginger beer ***

This is an artistically irrelevant post, but I feel I have to get back into the habit of blogging, so I am sharing utterly useless information with you... namely that I really like this beer. The really friendly shopkeeper of the corner shop in my street was telling me about the new ginger beer he has in stock [and since I buy quite a lot of beer there]- he advised me to give it a try... and so I did. It is awesome. It tastes exactly as you would imagine the perfect ginger beer should taste. It is sweet, but not too sweet. Tangy, but deliciously so and as an added bonus it is alcoholic...

Also I had a great evening, baking pretzels and working on a script for class. So I am feeling pretty jolly and in the mood for sharing irrelevant drink advice.

*** i like being productive ***

A friend of mine referred me a blog that made her think of me, I found this image on it and it made me smile. I feel like a nerdasaurus... I have been feeling that I am getting old, because I spend most of my time in front of my computer [let me digress and say that my computer called "stinky pie"]... as opposed to being in some pub 5 out of 7 days a week. And surprisingly it feels really good. I like being productive. For the time being at least.

*** i like... teaparties ***

The other day my "Core Research Skills" Group and I had a teaparty in an elevator. It is a response to the reappropriation of the space at the Glasgow School of Art. Basically the idea was to transform an elevator- an essentially very unsocial space- into a very social one... it was lots of fun. And our teammate Nils took lovely photos.

*** i like slides ***

Too cool!

I want one of these in my house oneday! I live on the top floor of a block of flats, I'd love to slide down every morning rather than tackling 6 flights of stairs...

*** happiness ***

Someone posted this on facebook and it made me think "yes!".

A few days ago I was in a halfway dingy bed and breakfast without prospect of a home (I moved to Glasgow and it is a nightmare finding accomodation such short time before university starts). The weather was bad. I had to move out of the bed and breakfast today and had nowhere to go. I don't know a soul and bed and breakfasts were full.

But I found an awesome person to couchshare at [yes, couchsharing- I raved about it a couple of weeks ago], I found a homely flat to move into in two weeks and I am drinking a Scottish beer. So I am happy as a pig in shit.

*** pretzels ***

I baked me some mighty fine pretzels today. I still like baking. Admittedly my pretzels aren't as good as bakery-bought ones, but still: it's a start.

*** things with my name ***

At some point I was looking at pretty things in the internet and I happened to find this cute little boat, it is called Julia, just like me. It made me smile. I want it.
