I was going to get loads of things done tonight, except I had a pizza baguette (don't ask) and a hot chocolate for lunch and spent half the evening trying to decide if throwing up would be a good thing or not. I'm not as ill as I was at Redemption but I really didn't think I had that much milk.

On the plus side it pretty much proves I'm lactose intolerant but I'm not terribly comforted by my mum telling me her tolerance went down. She eats more chocolate and ice cream than I do (and her special ice cream is actually very nice) and I don't like cheese, so I'm not too worried about that. It's all the other things that lactose is in that does my head in. I mean crisps and biscuits, for goodness sake.

So I've been watching Queer as Folk instead tonight, which meant, interestingly, that I discovered Dodgy DI is in an episode! Playing a dodgy gay character, mind you.

All this week I've been helping with coding, which I've quite enjoyed, probably because it's different. Coding involves taking the answers to open ended questions (such as 'what did you like about this drink?') and categorising their answers. So, if for example they said (and I've been doing toothpaste the last couple of days) 'I like the minty taste and the smell' you'd give them one number for the minty taste and one for the smell. It makes entry easier because then it's all numbers, and the people analysing it can see, for example, that minty taste is a good thing because a lot of people liked it.

There are some people who give some really strange answers though, which is funny. Some of the spelling that comes out is interesting as well. But what's been really annoying me about it is that I've been dreaming about it. Honestly, I was coding my Australian trip last night, which really wasn't fun.
