a rose by any other name would still smell Good Enough
A researcher cited in a paper has the last name "Goodenough" I wonder if he (or she) chose it him(her)self :)
snow sinks, flowers sprout
Spring is slipping up through the snow. This is the second settlement of snowdrobuffeted uthern slopes I've setrafficdding introaring oom.
(aldecidederation is alluring).
In voice class today we had to turn our relationship to our voice into a story. Here was mine:
"Once upon a time there was a little wind that was just a breath on the air. It liked the company of other soft voices. It would murmur with the wind in the trees, or have little lapping conversations with the waves on the lake. The roar of the city with its rushing too and fro and hundreds of words was overwhelming for thecould pd le wind. If it had to blow through a city it preferred to hide behind a bigger wind,frightened of the big city aing through. It liked to curl up in small dark spaces. It liked to play, rolling and tumbling in the fields. In those fields it met furry creatures and it found it could ruffle their hairs until they fell asleep.
But the little wind grew tired of being frightened of the big city and of being buffeted by the wind from the traffic and the roaring voices. It decided it needed to learn how to blow a little stronger."
I liked it. I think I could turn it into a kids book.

Beer Review: Boneshaker
"It was good. It had an aftertaste."
A repeat from the last beer advent, Boneshaker was previously ranked ninth, ahead of Russian Gun Imperial, but behind three different flavours of Innis & Gunn. Yesterday Kevin asked me with big hopeful eyes if there were any Innis & Gunn in this years advent.

Beer Review: Piraat
The build-up:
Piraat. A Belgian beer. I have a feeling this one is going to be good. Look at the percentage on this one! Ten and a half percent! Let's get her going. This is going to give the mead a run for it's money.
The review:
It was pretty good. Not as good as the mead. That one is going to be hard to beat.
Missed Beer Reviews
Rafiki and I didn't chat on the phone for the past couple days, so I missed my nightly beer review. So tonight I asked for a summary.
Shepherd Neame & Co. Christmas Ale:
Silence.
However it was the last beer advent line-up, and ranked eleventh, just ahead of Hockley's Amber Ale and just behind Russian Gun Imperial.
Downtown Brown All Natural Ale:
It was okay... Okay.
Trafalgar ESB (Extra Special Bitter):
It was bitter.

Mead Review: Trafalgar Ginger Mead
Today's beer review came as a text message: "Where did you get that beer Ginger Mead?? The one with the viking on the front. AMAZING!!! Don't tell anyone about it. It's our secret. I might clean out the shelves of this stuff! :)"
Later he added,"The look of it was great. The taste of it was great. It's the one. Better than beer. Better than wine. And the top looks like it's wine, because it has a cork in the top." and in the background Rafiki's brother shouted "It's all about the mead!" He liked it too.

Gifts from the Earth
Today my boss and I gave each other a series of gifts that we found in the gardens.
She gave me a set of practice nunchucks, white pine pinecones, and a pencil.
I gave her a spoon.
I went home with my pinecones and nunchucks tucked into a coffee holder. I really liked it.
I also visited Rambo the Carrot Rustler who is enchantingly enchanted by christmas lights. He sits in his stroller and his tiny red mittens point at them as we pass by.
Inspired I put up my own christmas lights which glint like jube-jubes in their big round bushes.

Beer Review 3: Augustijn
It's small but it's strong! 9%. That is a strong beer. I dunno what they do to make it so – put a shot of whisky in it... It's good, but it got me! Straight to my head, and I didn't even drink the whole thing; split it with my brother. Tastes good."

The Beer Review
My favourite part of doing a beer advent for Rafiki is getting the nightly beer review.
I don't drink beer. I have no idea what I bought. I buy it purely for the aesthetic pleasure for the labels - and after last beer advent, I now (usually) check the labels to see if the alcohol content is at least 5%. The Rafiki brothers like strong beer.
Tonight's beer review for Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale, "It was okay. :)"
...a little anti-climactic.
ps. The beer review expanded a little more that night: "It was a dark beer. 6%. It had a bit of an after taste after a while... a weird one."

One Bun of Steel
On Monday I sprained my ankle.
Yesterday I giggled as I scooted about on my butt, crawled, hopped, or did a one footed shimmy remarkably akin to the happy butt dance around my house. I waved as I slowly travelled past occupied rooms in unusual ways. It got especially amusing if I carried something. The smallest trips turned into large accomplishments.
General Yumminess brought me grapes in the wee hours of the morning before she left for work. I woke up just enough to take the bowl, and held it on my chest and happily scarfed down grapes in the darkness, before rolling over and falling back asleep. When I woke up I could rotate my foot enough to draw a circle in the air. It is very exciting.

Mocha Monsters
Lying in bed this morning my stomach made a noise like "wheeeee!" as if it was celebrating something and it made me giggle.
We made cupcakes last night, trying out the first cupcake recipe of Ming Makes Cupcakes.
We made only minor alterations to the recipe - coconut oil instead of butter, strong coffee instead of espresso powder, a dash of strong coffee in the icing and slightly less sugar. They were so divinely delicious we nicknamed them Mocha Monsters because we couldn't help but growl in pleasure as we ate them.
I dipped General Yumminess' extremely healthy cranberry loaf into the left over icing for breakfast and thought, life is good.

yellow light
I love the sunlight that comes in through my yellow curtains. It is so warm. Every morning seems full of sunshine.
In a theme of gold, birch leaves made a beautifully patterened carpet where they scattered the ground in round perfection.
The katsura trees shine gold as well and all the light that falls through them holds summer in the middle of autumn.

If you want some...
I have a four step program to deal with my university's administration.
Step 1: Consult admin about the possibilities of a course of action I would like to take, and how to approach it.
Step 2: Do what they suggest.
Step 3: Find out it didn't work.
Step 4: Argue.
I get stuck on step four a lot. So today I went down to campus and spent a merry hour looping between steps two to four. On the way home I stopped to write an irritated email to one of the departments asking them to sort out the department I was irritated at, and I sat down on a flight of stairs and found fifty cents!
If the forces that be are going to pay me when I have to write these emails, it's not so bad.
So I continued on my journey, and turned on the music on my phone. With the volume down low I held it up to my ear boom-box style and rocked out to my own personal soundtrack all the way home.
