Studied at uni today as I just kept procrastinating at home and drinking endless cups of tea, plus needed to get some inter library loans, one I have no idea why I ordered it at all, the other is very exciting, but only if you are interested in a particular Viennese garden around 1700, which I am *garden nerd*.
I am cosied up on the couch now drinking some wine and watching Father Ted.
I was reading this article on the fact that the names for the north and south islands of New Zealand were never legally registered, and I like this suggestion from one commenter.
Why not pick names from Middle Earth to get the tourist numbers back up?
Gondor and Mordor? Wellington should be changed to Hobbiton, Auckland Rivendell. The English names are ugly anyway.

I am feeling quite motivated at the moment, got back some feedback on my first chapter, which I re-wrote late last year and my supervisor says it is more or less right to go with a few small changes. And I looked at the draft and for the first time ever they were just small changes not huge re-writes. So one down seven to go!
I am just sitting here waiting for my apartment inspection. The place is so tidy I want to throw some stuff around, it isn't NATURAL. They sent us a letter with a list of things to do before the inspection which I thought was super patronising, but I guess some tenants are pretty hopeless. Though maybe they should consider a lost of things THEY should have done over the past year, like serviced my stove which sparked me and blew a fuse and the washing machine which still won't use hot water. They are meant to be here between 9:30am and 12, which is annoying, I wanted to go for a run earlier but thought they might arrive while I was still getting dressed. Plus I want to go to uni to work and now seems like I won't get there till 1pm-ish. Hey ho.

I am following Darth Vader on twitter, I wish he would follow me back as I really want to get the email "Darth Vader is now following you."
I am easily pleased.
The fashions! Good stuff.
Yes I am having a lazy Sunday watching random things on youtube.
Made my own hot cross buns. Half have sultanas (none of the evil peel) and half have choc chips. Tried one, ever so good. I am ever so proud of myself.
I used this recipe from this wonderful blog http://ironchefshellie.blogspot.com/
Look at em! I know some of the crosses are a bit off, they are the atheistic buns.
