 Iris. 24. London. Artist, thinker & time waster. This blog contains everything and nothing. More nothing than something because more often than not I am afraid of sharing or doing. |
I update so infrequently that whenever I do, I first have to upgrade WordPress to the latest version. Happens every time! Here a little update with some major things that happened in my life in 2009. Moving house Up until February 2009 Andrew and I were living together in one room in a flatshare with two other [...] Yes yes, I know. I am incredibly crap at updating this thing. Sincerest apologies. In some ways lots has been going on, and in other ways life has been pretty boring. I guess that’s how it always is. I’m reading the Twilight books by Stephenie Meyer at the moment. Wow.. I am so into it. I [...] #gallery-1 { Earlier when I was walking to the post-box in my flip flops (not only my flip flops, mind) it struck me that I am actually quite happy. This is quite a huge thing coming from me, ever the depressed pessimist. Life’s thrown some punches at me and I’ve been good at surviving, but lately I’ve felt [...] Someone kick me and make me update already!

It’s gorgeous and spacious and [...] Decision Time. This article published on the BBC News site today is pretty interesting. It is about emotion vs rationality in decision making. Things that especially resonate with me are: As Kahneman and Tversky put it: “In human decision-making, losses loom larger than gains.” Loss aversion is now recognised as an important mental bias, with widespread implications. [...] I’d just like to share with you this little bit of awesomeness. It is… our breadmaker! Best.kitchen.gadget.ever. Also, if you’re on a budget like us it provides a very cheap alternative to buying bread or prepackaged sandwiches. It tastes great too! The bread, that is, not the breadmaker. This is just a regular ol’ white loaf, [...] (I have to type really quietly because Andrew (the husb) is still asleep and gets very grumpy when woken up. Good luck to me, because my massive G15 keyboard is anything but quiet) I have such a love/hate relationship with the internet. On the one hand I love it (I could extol the virtues of the internetz [...] |
