brains & eggs
Last night I went to an event at the Dana Center called "Art And The Brain". 99% of the people there were from a medical / neurobiologicaL backgrOund. And then there was Antonia and me. But basically, the Dana Center exists to promote the combination of arts and sciences. On the Left is MY brain "in nine easy steps" created out of air foam. I'd say the FrontaL lobes are quite unique...
1. Brainstem - relays infO
2. Cerebellum - movement
3. Thalamus - reLays infO
4. Hippocampus - memOry
5. Amygdala - emotion
6. Temporal Lobes - smeLL / hearing
7. Occipital Lobes - visiOn
8. Parietal Lobes - movement / tOuch
9. Frontal Lobes - personaLity
And on the right, an engLish breaky.

Does this jumper make my feet look big?
I responded to this advert on gumtRee, and went down to have my voice recorded yesterday:
"I am looking for 40 Female native english speakers to be voice recorded for 45mins-60mins. This project is a test for a sofware designed for PDA and Smartphones. We will pay 5 pounds for the hour you spend with us. Its a very simple job for native english speakers, and all you need to do is to read what the computer shows.
There are 4 sections needed to be completed in this test:
40 single digits
40 single words
50 phone numbers
300 sentences (taken from newspapers, magazines....etc)
Please notice: This is a one-off job, and it only takes 45mins to do
the recording. 5 pounds cash will be paid right after the test."
sOme of my favorite phrases were:
* Does this jumper make my feet look big?
* I have some porridge oats, and i'm trying to eat them for breakfast
* Can I collect money for you in public places?

"Hottest July day ever in England"
Wednesday has become the hottest July day in England ever, with a temperature of 36.3C (97.3F)...
Earlier in the week, the highest official temperatures for Monday and Tuesday were recorded at London's Heathrow Airport, where the thermometer shot up to 32.7C (90.8F) on Monday and 33.2C (91.8F) on Tuesday.
On Wednesday a 35C (95F) reading at Heathrow topped the previous July record temperature there of 34C (93F).

bOmbay Sapphire gLass competition
The preparation of the classic martini cocktail is a sacred ritual. Every step meticulously thought out and executed, in impeccable sequence. First the chilled glass, next the olives, then the Bombay Sapphire, not shaken, but gently stirred so as not to bruise the delicate flavours. Then finally, just a spritz of dry vermouth - not even. Love, passion and profound appreciation of the martini’s simplistic purity is imperative.
This impeccable drink quenches more than thirst. As your lips take the first sip of a Sapphire martini, you begin a sensuous journey into an alluring paradox of wet and dry.
The Penetration glass is a suggestive, playful adaptation of the traditional martini cocktail glass, enhancing the moment.
The aim of this design is to seduce the drinker with ideas of ‘risk and reward’. Risk lies in the potential danger that the precious liquid might leak through the holes.
The glass is penetrated by the seeming danger of the glass pick. The olive is trapped until the martini is finished, pinned to the glass…teasing you. You play the game - or you loose it all. This reward comes at the very end.
The clarity of the glass and the lucidity of the liquid become one. The pick is the stopper, without which the liquid would escape. The creation of the Bombay Sapphire martini becomes all about the balance, the sequence, the expectation, the waiting, and the wanting.
A sigh of satisfaction.
A moment of reflection. Then begin again.

happy birThday tO me...
"The sign Aries is symbolized by the Ram.
Your sign's element is Fire. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars.
You are quick, daring, self assertive, and full of spunk. Seldom defeated because defeat is not recognized. You are intelligent, energetic, active, very impatient, and have lots of energy and initiative. You rely mostly on yourself. You are proud, ambitious, useful, and have a desire to achieve through force. You have leadership qualities.
Possible negative aspects of the sign Aries:
You can be hasty, inconsiderate, brash, destructive, and domineering. You will say things without thinking. You can be arrogant, presumptuous, and your own interests will come first."
yyyyyyup.
