Back from NYC and meme

Amanda tagged me for the "six random things about me" meme. I'm always very interested to read other peoples' lists, but I struggle a lot with mine.

Anyway, here are the rules:

• Link to the person who tagged you.
  
• Post the rules on your blog.
  
• Write six random things about yourself.
  
• Tag six people at the end of your post.
  
• Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
  
• Let the tagger know your entry is up.
  

Six random things about me:

1. Right now I'm hooked on Life on Mars.
2. I still can't do a headstand in yoga in the middle of the room (only against the wall).
3. I'm very shy
4. I can make a mean curry
5. I love kiwis even though I'm mildly allergic to them
6. My favourite compliment, from one of my students, was that I was "simultaneously the most laidback and the most strict" professor

I went to NYC for the weekend, to interview some artists for an article I'm writing. They're interested in how biology affects art; specifically, in how the biology of the eye shapes aesthetics. I love these interviews where they leave me with a lot of new things to think about.

Aside from that, I saw friends and family, and went to a gig on Saturday night. The band was supposed to go on at 11pm, but they didn't go on until 1:30am. I was so exhausted at that point that I was just leaning against Rog, and I fell asleep. Apparently I kept waking up and saying, "I think she's forgotten the lyrics." Needless to say, she hadn't forgotten the lyrics, it just seemed like it in my dreaming state.

Oh, and I finally gave the Secret Project - the Drops A Line Sweater - to my mother. She said she liked it, and I think it looked nice on her!

I didn't put her face in the pic, because I know she wouldn't like it.

I just have the sleeves left on my Luna Dress. I'm going to try to do them from the top down (rather than the cuffs), so as to avoid sewing. I got the go ahead from my pals at the hoxton knitting group yesterday, so I feel a bit more confident about straying from the pattern.
