Once soft, add the beef mince.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once the mince is browned all through add the chopped tomatoes. Dissolve stock cube in a mug of boiling water and add to the pan. Then add the 142g of tomato puree, a few "dolops" of brown sauce, mixed herbs, ground pepper, salts, chilli flakes & tabasco sauce. There is no specific amount for these ingredients, be creative!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Chop the green pepper and add to the mix along with the kidney beans.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dissolve the hot chocolate powder and coffee in 1/2 mug of boiling water and add to the pan.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Finally add the shot of Tequila and stir well. Bring to the boil for a few minutes, then leave to simmer while cooking your rice.</span></li>

This has been going on far too long! Andy, who is hungover today, has left the flat TWICE - once to go to the sorting office and once to go down to campus (where I presume he is now).<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This must be the third day running where I have wasted so many hours either sleeping into the early afternoon or sitting on my couch (in the SAME spot every day), procrastinating on my laptop! The situation has become so sever that the is indeed a dip in my couch... what one might call a "bum imprint"! In fact... I do both... firstly I sleep into the early afternoon... get out of bed and come and park myself on the couch for a few hours.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe it's the SAD, maybe it's the guilt of not doing enough uni work, maybe it's because I know that I have run out of money and can't even do the christmas shopping. It's starting to get dark outside (it is now 3:40pm) so I'm going to blame the SAD for keeping me here. I seem to be ok as long as I am comfy, warm and un-distressed here on my couch, basking in the light of my 60 watt lightbulbs. The other problem is exactly this - lightbulbs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaSp3bc54p9HMSLMs4dBwxMjXoqndyu554_vKO6l7P2zjqeRQOAKCtqIND46F4_e5Aatv8oeamNUj6zxsH7nh3du3Wxlq2lIk1d8R1K5Rvn222aGBT2qIUZBhYsnLg7i8h1j2deMsx1Hk/s1600-h/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaSp3bc54p9HMSLMs4dBwxMjXoqndyu554_vKO6l7P2zjqeRQOAKCtqIND46F4_e5Aatv8oeamNUj6zxsH7nh3du3Wxlq2lIk1d8R1K5Rvn222aGBT2qIUZBhYsnLg7i8h1j2deMsx1Hk/s400/1.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">About 4 days ago I woke up, stumbled into the en suite, flicked the light switch and BANG! I blew up the lightbulb.. quite litterally, the bulb smashed within the frosted glass port hole like light fitting. Along with the en suite light I somehow had managed to blow the fuse which means that now the bedroom lights and the study lights also do not work! Not ideal for someone who works like a solar panel - only capable of functioning where there is a certain amount of light. So I have since been avoiding the study for fear of is gloomy darkness (it's also the coldest room in the flat) and also the bedroom, which Is not in the tidiest of states. I WANT to tidy it...no.. I WANT it to be tidy, and I would go in there and sort it out if only there were a bit more light than the free standing lamp (which thank god still works).<br />

This has turned into a far more miserable blog than I had intended :(<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is now 3:50pm and the street lamp outside has just flickered on, the sky is a gloomy pink/purple from what I can see of it, the majority of the view from our lounge window (and bedroom window for that matter) is the side of the Athena, a nice screen of dull brick wall.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Went to Dita's book signing in London the the other day. Here is a photo of Sammy, Emma and myself after meeting her... kind of in a state of recovery. Then we have a photo of the moment I met Dita... Dita looking fabulous, me looking like I'm about to collapse with a bout of mild hysteria!<br />

She was absolutely stunning, more beautiful in reality, just left me speechless. She signed both books for me and liked the wrapping paper I used on the gift I gave her (a copy of my documentary on DVD).<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Aww, it's so pretty"... were her exact words.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">There was something very french about this morning. No, I didn't have croissants for breakfast, it was just that during my walk towards campus there was a certain french-ness in the air. I can't put my finger on what it was, and I honestly cannot describe it. Whether it was the unusual sunshine I do not know but then maybe every morning is like that, I'm just never usually up and about with the rest of civilisation so early in the day.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">... what IS geek chic about!? Or... what is with geek chic? Or, what is geek chic? It intrigues me slightly. By all means I don't dislike it! In fact it has a strange appeal which even I, (rebeller against fashion trends... trust me, I finally bought skinny jeans about 2 years after everybody else!), am growing fond of. But the main question I think it poses is this:<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is it glamourising the look of "geek" or is it taking the piss out of it?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7UiZNS9VIe_NUDusr2mdZDmhKK0X-pWqeVBMO4HdS1pNfsWmZ5Xo1H7WJvBKwOD2maHX0rDH-Vs0G0LrVFJRnDtD8Sn0iEdepQaDUGUp3oP3DTmCO7nmgGx4skCzCWQUprgAYFihe4KU/s1600-h/geek-chic.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7UiZNS9VIe_NUDusr2mdZDmhKK0X-pWqeVBMO4HdS1pNfsWmZ5Xo1H7WJvBKwOD2maHX0rDH-Vs0G0LrVFJRnDtD8Sn0iEdepQaDUGUp3oP3DTmCO7nmgGx4skCzCWQUprgAYFihe4KU/s320/geek-chic.jpeg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I mean, to be honest, most girls you see embracing the "geek chic" trend are really not all that bad looking are they? Glam girls, beautiful, pretty and generally with pretty good skin... all donning the think rimmed glasses and sweater vests. That's not to say you can't be a geek and be attractive too... by a long way (please don't think I would be insinuating that!).<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But if you were to see what one may class as a "genuine geek", you wouldn't be rushing over to them with the intention of enquiring about where one could purchase a pair of those ever so sexy loafers!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's almost as if....<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>it's ok to dress like a geek if you aren't one, but if you are one... you are still classified a geek. And that is different from "geek chic".</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />

My usual reaction would be to turn the heating on, but in my current financial situation, I'm thinking that isn't an option :S<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, I've lit a few candles, put on my wooliest scarf and am being glared at by a pile of laundry waiting to be ironed. This may well be the solution, I always get too hot when I'm ironing, so maybe I can get my ironing done, and heat up the flat at the same time.<br />

But this year, I was stumped and dragged out the old faithful Halloween corset, which, each year is reincarnated to create a new character. After some consideration and a lot of experimentation with the hair I decided to settle on my favourite lady of the moment, Marie Antoinette (as a nice little follow up to my birthday celebrations). Of course, this was the Halloween version and required copious amounts of white powder and good old Barry M! </span></span></span></span><br />

Hamsters are stupidly hard to photograph. This is Flossy and she is the worst model ever! But here is the one picture I managed to capture of her stuffing her little pouches (probably with chocolate).Emma Knighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01761010597465692726noreply@blogger.com0
