i have succeeded in making nasi lemak therefore i am the second happiest woman in charlottesville. i have found coconut milk that comes in little 150ml tins, enough for one person portions of curry or laksa or nasi lemak. it's so simple i don't know why i've never tried. kudos to minyin for inspiring me to try! of course i can't get that glossy look that nasi lemak usually has but it is fragrant enough :) the only thing i lack for the nasi lemak to really work out is pandan leaves, but i don't suppose i'll find any here.

i am thinking - that i could write about the alcuin together with the bit when humpty dumpty is explaining jabberwocky to alice. the alice bit will make milbank happy and the alcuin will make nohrnberg happy. and it will be new and rather cheeky. oh i like the idea. don't know if i dare.

if there is one quote i have to work into this thesis, it is the one from small gods: "the trouble was that he was talking in philosophy, but they were listening in gibberish."

and now i fly like the wind to class.
