To Do To Do
I am off to the theater soon, but here’s an update for mom/dad (especially dad, who asks “how are you” every time I opened my computer:
this week: extremely tired and flu. Tech run every night for Mao, but it was good fun other than the fact that I didn’t get school work done. One housemate had Norovirus. Didn’t get Norovirus (yess). Thesis abandoned. Submitted a...

“I’m starting a sound portrait gallery of famous faces which began with Prince Charles, who came to Dartington College of Art, where I was studying in 2005.
He asked me, “What’s this that you’re wearing?”, so I asked him if I could listen to his face, and he sounded very harmonic.
Some people might be very beautiful but they might not sound very harmonic,...
Valentine's Day
I get mixed newsfeed on Facebook from my friends all over the world (well, 3-4 continents. Fair enough?). In Indonesia, it has always been the case that Valentine’s day is viewed as a western product, a day that has no significance in our culture whatsoever (whatever our “culture” is).

Tiramisu Tales
I’ve tried to make it twice already. Finished all my ladyfingers but still have 2 oz. of fancy coffee mascarpone -_- what to do? But that can wait.
At first I was like, ah, easy. No bake, just putting things together. But turned out cakes like these need precision too. I ended up making two huge errors (and fixing both of them).
First time error: overlooking the importance heavy whipping...
