First of all, thank you all for the comments on my last entry (a month ago... I remain terrible at this LJ thing). They meant a lot to me ♥

Now, in no particular order:

• Summer, where did you go? I've caught a cold somehow. IN JULY. And while it's true my immune system really hasn't been the same since I got back from France... still. JULY.
• Anybody who invites me over for anything or who comes for a visit is going to be force-fed Nutella-based desserts for the foreseeable future. For some inexplicable reason that jar is not disappearing. If you have a good recipe, please share!
• I had my first real celebrity sighting last week: 'that guy from Glee' was sitting in the next chair over at the salon. Pity I don't actually watch Glee...
• Nature Chemistry is running an essay contest ("In Your Element"), and I'm pretty stoked about entering. Unfortunately, I've let the deadline sneak up on me, but I'm pretty confident I can hammer something out. Currently flipping through Le problè'me des métaux dans la chimie antique for a bit of inspiration. :D
• Saw Deathly Hallows: Part 2 on Friday evening. What a fun ride :) (And, in further proof that I am a complete sap: I sniffled a bit even though I knew exactly what was coming.)
