The Day That Was - June 29th, 2010

Well, people seemed to enjoy my review of yesterday. One more day of my life in detail to come.
I got up around 9:30am today. I had some cool dreams: one about co-hosting the Academy Awards with Katherine Heigl, and awarding George Cloony Best Supporting Actor for a film I don't think exists; the other about a scary internet cafe down an alley occupied by homeless people. 8/10.
I feel a cold coming on, which seems pretty unfair - I only got over another cold about 2 weeks ago. Ugh! My usual remedy of drinking lots of water seems to be working as poorly as usual...
Porridge and apricots (lots, to cure the common cold) for breakfast again. And a cup of tea, which turned out to be Dilmah, silly me. Maybe I've just grown to expect more from my tea. I 'checked the internet' over breakfast, and it was fairly average, though my beloved Los Campesinos! did update their formspring (plenty of witty/droll answers, 7/10).
After breakfast I straightened up my room a bit. I started listening to a large stack of CDs which I've gotten from the radio, and never heard. I listened to albums by Lightspeed Champion (4/10), Field Music (6/10), and Urban Tramper (8/10); still quite a few to go. Incidentally, Harriet greatly enjoyed her mix-CD (I would modestly estimate her review as 10/10).
I'd been wanting to do some more drawing, so I had a crack at a self-portrait. It's a picture of me standing, and I didn't use a mirror. After I'd finished the outline, I decided to make it nude, which was interesting: 8/10. If there's much demand, I'll post it (censored?) here. I started a few sketches for a couple of other drawings I've been thinking about. I also made some modifications to this lampshade - it's now more stable, and it's light more diffuse: 8/10.
Eamonn headed to uni, and I went in to town to meet him later on. I went to the library, and read some of the new Adbusters magazine. It's awesome, and this issue looks very promising: 8/10. I met Eamonn at the bus exchange (don't really like this place, or 95% of the clientele), and we walked to Natcoll. Nick needed a model for some photography, and given my past experience, I was happy to help. It was cool, and Nick took some flash pics. Good times: 8/10.
Eamonn and I went to the supermarket to buy some things for dinner; we were having nachos. I was feeling really hungry, and tired, and cold, so wasn't in an especially good mood. Supermarket and walk home: 3/10.
Dinner was good though. I cooked, and I think I got the right blend of spices in the bean mix: 8/10. Once I'd eaten, I cycled in to town to meet my friends Hannah and Simon. Hannah's been in Melbourne the last few months, so it was nice to see her again. They'd been to watch A Single Man, and both rated it very highly (me too!). I brought my typewriter, and we sat in the Square, typing messages on stickers. These stickers were then stuck on to posts and rubbish bins. We also went to the library during its last 15 opening minutes - it was nice and warm. 9/10.
I cycled home, and ate some more corn chips, and a couple of mandarins. Then I spoke to Beth on facebook, which is always great.
One more day of indepth review, then (probably) back to occasional romantic/poetic observations.
