todayiamadaisyWeekly update:
The past few winters have been lean for whale viewing, but the City by the Sea is having a bumper whale season this year. There are apparently ten southern right whales in the bay — three mothers with their calves, and four singles — and a humpback. I didn't see that many when I went out to the viewing platform this week, but I did see quite a few. Tails splashing, heads poking out of the water, the works. Not just floating rocks, which is what they normally look like.
I've spent most of the week writing an essay for my final MBA subject. As a fun getting-to-know-you exercise, the professor had us all do a Myers-Briggs test that gave us our personality types as fictional characters. My result was INTJ, the Mastermind, which is what I always get. And my fictional doppelgängers? Michael Corleone (The Godfather), House (House), Walter White (Breaking Bad), Peter Baelish and Tywin Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones), and Skeletor (Masters of the Universe). Am I... am I evil?
Weekly Masterchef update:
- Your ice-cream lacked intensity... and there was no foam.
- That crumb was blonde and... undercooked.
- Your duck skin wasn't crispy and the texture of the meat just... wasn't right.
- We loved the flavour of that black sesame ice-cream, but the mandarin syrup was... too bitter.
Weekly knitting update:
None. I was too busy writing that essay to do much else. But I've written ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY MUST SEW ON BUTTONS on my things to do list this coming week.
