Acquisitions.

[bouteillebleu]

I've given into temptation and bought a wok.

I've also acquired a copy of How to Get a PhD by Estelle Phillips, from my last trip to Oxfam. I'm planning to read through it once to see if it's worth me thinking about going into research, but since I'm leaning towards not staying in academia I doubt I'll read it beyond this. So, if anyone in Cambridge would like a copy - it's in very good condition, with the only markings in it being the previous owner's name and the Oxfam price on the front page - please let me know in a comment.

(I also found a copy of the Chicago Manual of Style, but I'm keeping that one. It can live with my copy of Strunk and White. :)

Ah, yes. If you're wondering why I friended you today, it's because I found http://www.livejournal.com/users/bridgetester/128742.html via Google (I was looking for that animation to show to a friend). I had a look through your posts after that, and you seemed to be posting a lot of quite interesting articles, so I friended you as it looks like your journal is an interesting read. I hope you don't mind me doing this.

Mind? No.

It was basically confusion on how you found me, particularly since there isn't a two-step connection between us. You seem generally interesting too. I do tend to post a lot of articles, and due to time constraints, ignore a lot of my friendslist. So if you don't mind that last bit...

I don't mind at all, and thank you. :)

I must say your resolve in stop creating icons isn't working very well - I seem to find a new one every time I go on your page! ;-) Glad to hear you've got a wok though. I had a feeling you'd give in, which is why I was trying so hard to prevent you falling, but *sigh* you got there...

Book sounds interesting. Can I have a look at it after you've finished?

Well, now that James is becoming more of a cook I feel I ought to have a go as well, you see. And of course - I'll give it to you the next time I see you, or put it in your pigeonhole, whichever is sooner.

Can I have a peek when you're done? :D

I'm going to need all the tricks I can lay my hands on if I'm to get through a PhD… >.<;
