Guess who

is STUPID enough to spill tea (with milk and lots of sugar) on his laptop? who else. in one evening i was capable of ruining my plan to be productive, self-causing a sleepless night, AND denting the already THIN wallet. woke up at 7:30, dashed to the apple store on Regent St only to...

new keyboard - £55; "hardware repair" - £40; and VAT - £14.25 to top off a grand total of £109.25. tadah. can i die now?

No, not yet. the guy said some internal damage may also have been caused as a result of my sheer stupidity, which they can do nothing about (both the damage and my eternal stupid self). But i should be grateful (FOR WHAT!) that everything seems ok. some laptops shut off when liquid is spilled on. mine did not. only that the keyboard became mad erratic. eg. when i typed nrugkhapan to log into my email i got sth like nrugwtf.

our team better win the design proposal challenge this afternoon so part of the damage will be covered. if not, oh well. OH WELL. flying off to south of France/Monaco this Thursday to cheer myself up cos im just cool like that. UGH. dammitdammit.

Goose-huggers


My friends wanted to eat French tonight and we knew of a place in Farringdon, so we met at 7 and headed over...much to our disappointment. lots of people gathered about outside the restaurant yelling through megaphones and stuff. obviously they are animal rights activists protesting against foie gras. whoa friday NIGHT, what are the chances? too bad for the restaurant (and us), no one dared to go in. quite a scene.

otherwise Comptoir Gascon is a nice reasonably priced restaurant and i consider going back in the future, but not for foie gras. i like the taste of it but not crazy about it. i don't condone those who eat them, nor do i blame them.
