Cheesecake, and the Art of Seduction

I made my second cheesecake today. I tried for a strawberry-flavoured one, cheating with strawberry-flavoured jelly instead of proper strawberries ground into a pulp and mashed into cheese. Hopefully, strangely enough, it'll all turn out well.

How will it? I don't know.

Have obviously been watching Shakespeare in Love as well, which I bought expressly to study Gwyneth Paltrow's British accent (I sound very weird, don't I?), but which I fell in love with 10 minutes into the film, where a parson shouts, "Theatres are of the devil! And the Rose smells thusly rank by any name! A plague on both your houses!" Shakespeare goes, "hmm", and uses both phrases in the play he writes later.

I'm trying to write a children's book now, on the experiences Liting had when she had her first job selling tissues for a blind man, but it's not coming along very well. I really should be packing as well, but all I've done is give away Robert Greene's "The Art of Seduction" to Housemate Above (Rule Number One: Isolate Your Victim), and put my Japanese fashion magazines in the common toilet. Very ... efficient.

I should start packing now. Pack Ruth Pack Pack Pack. Away I go.
