magictreehouseI've been on a bit of a baking run this week. On Monday I made a chocolate and orange souffle which I was really pleased with. It wasn't exactly perfect but it was ok considering how I've been scared off making one for years. And then on Tuesday I made banana bread which was a total success. I took some into work and Sarah and Belinda can't get enough of it. Amazing.
I've not been up to much this week. James has had a cold so that's stopped our plans really. However, he did go to an interview at the National Media Museum yesterday and it'd be awesome if he got it. He's also been ploughing on with his law course studies. It's quite nice hearing about what he's learning about because some of it I know form work but he's filling in little bits of stuff that I don't know too. He's finding it really interesting and wonders why it's not taught in schools. I'm wondering the same thing as, since I started my job I've learnt so much about the legal system and it's allowed me apply it to real life. The creation of law affects us all and it gets a fair amount of press really so it's nice to actually be able to understand what the news is talking about! It's a very interesting topic and I'm loving being involved in it.
Last Sunday was my second Meeples meeting in a week. Yeah, even I've out-geeked myself there. It was good though. A bit quieter than the one before it and in the bigger room. I played the normal version of Flux, King of Tokyo, Smallworld and 7 Wonders. I didn't win anything! But I did come second in Smallworld. I'd never played King of Tokyo or 7 Wonders before and I was really thrown in at the deep end of the latter. Both expansions and I was the only one who'd not played it before. This meant that I lost miserably! Not sure if it's the game for me though, and not just because I lost!
What else have I been doing? Playing Bioshock 2 I suppose. It's ok. There are so many well done FPS's out there. It's really not enough any more! Oh, I've seen some films too - Twins (less comedic, more drama-y than I remember) and Youth In Revolt (very good. Actually funny too which isn't always the case with 'indie' type films).
