I'm not very popular today. I accidentally mixed up a meeting, thinking it was tomorrow and left my two supervisors waiting for me in a coffee shop for half an hour. I was mortified. Will have to take them coffee tomorrow for our rescheduled meeting (which has been downgraded to the office).

I've started reading The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. Although I never finished her debut novel, I'm so far impressed. Favourite line so far: Inside the spirit lamps had not succeeded the sea-coloured light of the dying day, and seemed by virtue of their paleness to accent the general cheerlessness of the room's decor. Great hey.
