The little burglar alarm lights in the corners of rooms used to terrify me when I was small. You know, the little motion detector things. We had one in our living room that would show a red dot if you moved in its line of sight, and when I was about four, I was really scared of it.

To try and calm me down, my dad said, "Oh, it's okay. If you see a red dot, it's fine. The time to really worry is when you see a blue dot." (There was no blue dot, it was meant to reassure me.)

For about a year, I then wouldn't even be in the same room as the damn thing, in case I saw the blue dot. Oops! Points for effort, though, Dad.

The gist of the project is just this: take a photo every day, for a year.

I did it during 2008, and most of 2009, and it was the most interesting experience. I love looking back at those photos, which chronicle some of the happiest times of my life, and really remind me what it was like to be there. Not to mention, my photography skills improved sevenfold.

So, watch this space!

Heyyy, check it out. Food blog!

Only two recipes so far, but it'll grow.

P.S. I will have no internet until the fifth of July. Please don't delete me; I still love you!

I got 100% in my shorthand exam last week, which is great. I've got one day a week at a radio station lined up starting on Wednesday. I'm really proud of me.

But oh, I'm tired.

I left a pillowcase by a damp towel for too long. The pillowcase went mouldy, but, go figure, the towel is fine.

Weird, huh?

Now, I made a fantastic, fantastic discovery yesterday. It all started with a mistake I made, where I missed out an egg in making cheesecake. Anyway, I made chocolate brownie cheesecake. It is awesome, and it is done like this:

And when you're done, it looks yummy, like this:

I have two law exams next week. How scary does that sound? Anyway, after a couple of days where I've been doing my usual "Woe is me, I despair, I shall never pass" thing, I think I just came to the conclusion that I have enough notes, and must just learn them now. And that's more than do-able! I hope.
