Lip Positions

While practising "For the Beauty of the Earth" for the upteenth time I realised that people from different countries have different lip positions. People from Hong Kong keep their lips closed when they're listening, with a slight upturn at the corners, people from England keep their lips closed but with a more exaggerated upturn at the corners (v expressive), and people from Singapore and Malaysia keep their lips apart even when they're not talking, showing a slight grin and some of their teeth (like puppies!). Perhaps this shows that people from Hong Kong are reserved, English people are expressive, and Singaporean and Malaysian people are just jolly and talkative!

Which is why I run on for so long on this blog.

I went down to town today after spending ages in the libray figuring out my Coding Theory tutorial, which was pretty useful in the end because it yielded this useful party trick: if you would take a book at random and read out the ISBN code, omitting a digit on purpose and saying "blank" instead, I could work out the missing digit in about a minute, impressing all the cute and intelligent guys who just so happen to be in the vicinity.

Went to town today to get a present for a friend's birthday, but besides that I ended up buying a new coat for myself (how do I ever get myself into such things?) and it's beautiful - it's short and warm and a lovely shade of grey that simply brings out my nice ... er ... black... hair and eyes. And the way I see it, I saved £15, but the way my bank account sees it, I'm £40 poorer and so I won't be spending any more money anytime soon.

I was supposed to meet CC to do Coding Theory today, but for some reason I just got into this mood and I didn't feel like seeing him. Cosi fan tutte. So I went upstairs to the 13th floor instead of the usual 12th floor and did the tutorial on my own. I guess women are as changeable as their reputations suggest, because I certainly am... and I can't explain it either!

Will update again soon.
