resistance is futile meme

I’ve asked a few people for questions in the current round of question game. If you’d like to play, let me know and I’ll ask you questions. If you’ve got questions you’d like to ask me, let me know, and I’ll write them up too. Here are the questions I’ve got so far:

4 hours, 44 minutes

My plan for today was to come in, quickly look at mail, then go fill some capsules for my next experiment. But a few people had asked me questions. Answering them and coming up with new questions, and reading the questions others have answered has caused a very happy 4 hours and 44 minutes to slip by. Oops. But it was fun! (and somehow I don't think the game is over, yet, there are others who may yet ask, and others of whom I'd enjoy asking...)

Yesterday I did a trip to IKEA to pick up one last set of shelves for my pantry. Since I already knew exactly what I wanted, and their location in the store, it was a relativity fast trip. 2 hours, 30 minutes to do the walk to the station, take the train to the end of the line, take the free bus from the station to the store, grab the stuff, and reverse the process. Because it was only one set of shelves I was able to fit the shelves into a wheeled suitcase and carry the uprights, so I didn't have to pay for delivery, but was able to manage it on the train on my own. (clovis_t can't stand furniture shopping, so elected to stay home and help out by sorting the scrap fabric, which had been used as packing material, into bags based on fibre type. Later, when I've got time the pieces will be ironed (still need to buy one of them) and folded neatly and stacked into boxes such that all the pieces can be seen at once, so when I need something I can find what I need quickly. Now that I've got enough pantry shelves and all of the books unpacked (though still mostly random on shelves at this point) I'm starting to get enough room to turn around. Still some boxes of craft supplies to sort out (and probably bring to the office, where I have more room), and I need to decide just where I'm going to keep big things like the pavilion, since it can't stay on the couch.

There is still ever so much work that must be done before December and all of the traveling that will entail...

In other news, after answering the earlier set of questions, going home and making some yummy spinach/zucchini/tofu sauce, and then baking some of the sauce inside some bread dough (and totally burning the roof of my mouth enjoying it), I returned to uni and managed to get one capsule filled and welded shut for my next experiment. This means I get to come back again tomorrow to try to have a second one ready. Since we've also got fighter practice scheduled for tomorrow, that means it will be a busy day!
