The Day That Was - June 30th, 2010

This morning I was up at around 9:30am. I've started putting on my electric blanket when I wake up, because my room is very cold. And damp. I really like my room (probably the best I've had, apart from my childhood room), but it's cold, damp nature means I tend not to spend much time in there: 6/10.
Breakfast this morning was four pieces of Ploughman's Soy & Linseed toast, two with peanut butter, two marmite. I think this brand makes very good toast, and it's pretty filling: 7/10. I had a cup of tea, which was nice. My tea intake has decreased a lot lately, as I am running out. I did some usual internet checking, and re-read most of the truly outstanding Perry Bible Fellowship: 10/10. I also spoke with Fran, who's melting in the London heat at the moment. It was really nice to talk to her (we used to live together); it'd been a while.
I did the dishes with Melinda; she washed and I dried. The dishes had been stacking up for a while, so it was a minor event. We listened to the first half of Kid A, but I put on Neon Bible, which I preferred and hummed along to. After we'd finished, the rest of the flat were in the living room, and we chatted away for a while. I started doing a couple of sketches, which I will put up here soon. They look pretty good: 6/10.
It felt like I was just killing a bit of time after lunch (two Scottish baps with hummus, capsicum and spinach: 7/10), and I didn't do anything in particular. I did choose some CDs to take to the radio, and made a few notes about what to play. Hannah came over to see Eamonn not long before I left. I rode my bike to RDU, and I didn't feel good - there was a bit of a headwind, and the cold air made my lungs feel really tight and stressed (boo winter colds): 2/10. I don't think I'd make a very good smoker.
At uni, I bought a chickpea curry from Spice Traders which was yummy, and spicier than usual: 7/10. Nick hosts the show before mine, so we chatted on air, and shared some curry. My show went fantastically; it felt like one of the best I'd done in a long time: 10/10. I felt like I had worthwhile things to say and ran a good show. A few callers complimented my show, or the music I played. A lady rang up to ask what song was on (Birthday on Mars by The Ruby Suns), as she'd just returned home from the hospital with her new-born baby! Baby's First Song? I hope so.
After the show, I cycled to Josh's to have dinner. His house was nice and warm, and he'd cooked a ratatouille and cous cous. He was worried that it was too salty, but it was really good: 8/10. Alice, Rose, and Josh were also there, and we talked about all sorts of stuff. We had sorbet and pineapple for desert, and also watched a couple of funny videos. It was a really cool night: 10/10.
It was a cold bike ride home, but also very still and quiet, so it was nice. Nick was making 7" vinyl cases, and I had some vegemite on bread as a midnight snack. And now this review. A really good day overall, but I feel like I could have done more things: 8/10. This is the last review I intend to do, but if there's overwhelming support for more, I'll write some more.
