*Insert witty title here*

I did dye my hair on Saturday night.  Here, from left to right, is me normally, me having gone blond and the end result:

I think it turned out OK.

I took part in the Reddit Gifts book exchange.  I’ve sent my books to the person I was assigned (I sent The Rule of Four and The Fifth Gospel, both amazing).  Then on Sunday (yes, I was surprised I got a delivery on Sunday as well), I got the books I’d been sent:

The Borges is because I said I wanted something from the country of the sender.  The Lovecraft because I mentioned liking mystery books.  I’ve always wanted to read some Lovecraft and Borges, so I’m very happy about this.  And at least, unlike last year, I haven’t got either of these books yet.

I wasn’t able to watch the Oscars, but I was keeping up on the BBC website.  Out of my predictions, 4 of the 5 I said should win did and 4 of the 5 I said would win did.  And the one I said would win but didn’t lost to the one I said should win.  Overall, very happy.  I might do the same again next year, just starting earlier so I can hit more categories.

Delighted that Roger Deakins finally got a win.

I’m taking part in a survey!  My house has been selected to take part in the Family Resource Survey for the government.  It gives me summat to do and I’ve already spent the tenner they gave me for taking part so I should really.

The snow’s all gone!  :¬(
