I have been doing coursework today! Only, I chose to do the easy coursework over the hard coursework. Only, the easy coursework involves reading really tiny old handwriting and now my eyes hurt. Tomorrow I will do the hard stuff; for the sake of my eyes!

I have also been spending my time watching Moyashimon. Yup. It's that anime about microbes (although it seems to be mostly about yeast so far). And they're all so cute! It's ridiculous. I've never seen S. Cerevisiae look so cute before. I wonder if S. pombe is going to be in it too? Or maybe C. crescentus? Or perhaps even the good old E. coli? Man, I wish microbes were so cute when I had to work with them; but all I remember was them looking like a load of cloudy water that smelled really bad. Hmmm. Anyway, the microbes are cute and the rest of the story...I don't really care about the rest of the story; I must remember to stop watching this show while I'm eating, because it's kind of disgusting (please, less fermented seagull sucking please); and I've heard that the main character's best friend starts dressing up like a lady half-way through the series?

I have been listening to some more laid-back music today. I was reminded just how brilliant the album 'Lost Horizons' by Lemon Jelly is. It's proper nice; the sort of music that you hardly even notice as it laps across your eardrums and simultaneously presses all the happy buttons in your brain. I was also reminded how boring the album 'I'm Wide Awake It's Morning' by Bright Eyes is. The thing with Bright Eyes is that the music isn't very special at all (I always zone out after listening to it for more than a minute) but the lyrics are very nice. Seriously. If you go by the lyrics then 'First Day of My Life' is quite possibly the most beautiful love song I've ever heard:

Yours is the first face that I saw.
Think I was blind before I met you.
I don't know where I am I don't know where I've been
but I know where I want to go.

[...] this is the first day of my life.
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
and I'd probably be happy.

In other news. I think I have indigestion. I ate some cheese that tasted a lot like rubber balloons =_=
