I woke up early this morning. By early, I mean about eleven. I changed into my bathers, in case it gets sunny later. And then I vacuumed the floor and took in the laundry.

I had breakfast--egg tart and juice (with whiskey). Then I made cupcakes, all by myself. I used to think that I couldn't follow recipes but I've come to realize that cooking is chemistry in action.

So when I cook I just pretend that I'm in the lab doing an experiment and it all goes well.

Then I had a cup of coffee while watching Ed Wood, which I think is gonna be one of my inspirations. It's not my new Amelie but it's filed under "Things that Keep Me Going", together with things like How I Write:The Secret Lives of Authors and my Jane Austen box set.
