A caffeinated Saturday afternoon

After a long and tiring week, I spent a lovely Saturday afternoon holed up in my new favorite café: Cello Espresso Bar. The atmosphere says sophisticated intellectual and the décor refined aesthetics. And most importantly, they make a heavenly cappuccino. When I get my camera, which I'm holding out for until my next visit back to the U.S. (prices and availability prevailing), I'll post pictures of the place. Although I might invite Gabriel, my flatmate, to join me one day and use his camera. ;) Incidentally, my cappuccinos are nothing to sneer at either, witness my café renversé which I made at work using an automatic Rapid Cappuccino maker.
Wrote in my journal. Read the first chapter of "Towards World Order" by A. Nakhjavani. Read bits of "Introduction to Solid-State Physics" by Kittel, where I finally understood on an intuitive level the effect of temperature and chemical potential on entropy change. You may laugh, but I now understand and appreciate why particles flow from regions of high concentration to low concentration.
