Hope springs eternal

Hi again

Well, the curry was alright I suppose. It actually tasted quite good in the end but there was a lot less of it than I expected there to be and it was a lot less saucy than I had intended. Well, nice but I'll have to find a way to improve the sauce. If anyone has any bright ideas on how to make mango and banana sauce, please let me know.

I just can't wait to see Ryan's (my enigmatic digsmate) face when I tell him he ate baby food tonight :) !!!!!!!! He's the kinda guy who isn't much into new experiences and quite set in his ways etc. etc. Very down the line/by the book/no funny business kind of guy. He's probably going to freak when he hears what I've done. He he he he....

Well, here's what happened: I decided to use purity (a brand of pureed baby food which actually tastes really nice once you stop thinking of it as baby food) to flavour my curry (trying to make a bananery sauce. I used some other funky pineapple relish for the sauce as well. I felt really spare buying the baby food. There I am standing in the supermarket looking very much like a student (which I am) in a very small town where students are very, very conspicuous due to their youthful complexions. Not that I'm saying that there are no young locals here but by and large, most local kids leave here for greener pastures once they get old enough to run away from home, which incedentally, is about the same time that they are mouthing the words "Mama", "Dada", or "Gaga". Oh my !! Listen to me!! I think the baby food is having some disturbing side effects. I say disturbing because it's not everyday that people around you look at you concernedly like they are doing now. What's that I hear about Fort England???

No wonder they tell you it's suitable for 1 - 3 year olds and don't say anything about any adverse side effects on the label. Since this is the normal behaviour of a 1 - 3 year old, no would notice anyway. Of all the dirty, low down ..... "Gaaaa"... Help !!!!

No, but really Gtown is not that bad. I wouldn't mind living here except for the fact that I like the big city and the sea a lot and as such, GTown would probably never work for me long term (says he who will have spent 5 years (at the end of next year) here). Anyway, I feel called (don't you just love that gem of charismatic/Christianese lingo? A thousand Super spiritual points for me!! - I think I may be overtaking brother Gareth (Another thousand there) in the race for the golden halo award for the most super - spiritual sayings in one year. No, seriously, God has got other plans for me. At some stage I am going to have to leave here which will be quite sad.

Had World View Surveys today. Was quite tough because I was feeling very tired. Felt like I was hitting a brick wall. World View surveys are surveys (funny thing that) that we do on campus as part of an effort to get a better picture of the basic beliefs and assumptions of the people we study with. Sort of like a database of prevailing worldviews on campus. Very helpful for quite a number of reasons. More importantly, they are also a kiff door to sharing the gospel in a friendly, respectful way with people. We do them every Wednesday and Friday and so far, they have been a great success.

Eish! Have less than a month for a prac. report, an essay and to finish the rest of my draft for my thesis. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This damn statistics program I am using keeps kishing out when I try to analyse the data. I think I may have broken the CPU.

Oh well. Such is life. If I don't get it to work I am just going to go home and do some other work.
Or I could sit here sucking my thumb and mouthing inanities all evening. Come to think of it, I'm sure I have brought my rattle down from Durban...
