Agenda Quotidien (the minutiae of life just got smaller) of Cecelia Huynh
My original iWeb (Paris) and Wordpress (Sydney) blog are being slowly, slowly moved over to Blogger (if anyone knows a way of integrating these in one simple Export/Import step, please contact me, I'll offer cash prizes or at the very least eternal gratitude), www.workinprogress.id.au is still online.

So does the regular drinking account for the extra years? Although ‘moderate exercise’ is a somewhat generous (if not earnestly aspiration-al) estimation of my physical activity.
Life expectancy calculations are probably not the most conducive activity for getting to sleep… Maybe I should get a TV? I heard Aldi is selling a big, fat cheap one… Does TV viewing correlate with higher or lower longevity? I bet it is significantly correlated to somnolence.
