f.lux on my computer! The link goes to [personal profile] rydra_wong's rec post. I haven't noticed a radical improvement in my sleep habits (because my sleep habits are terrible), but I have noticed much, much less eye-strain, and a more natural feeling of tiredness around midnight. It'd be amazing just for the eyestrain relief.

Chocolate banaana bread OMNOMNOM. Being me, I have a few modifications: I used three large bananas and added an extra 1/2 Tbsp (=1.5 tsp) of cocoa powder; baking time needs to be increased to about 90 minutes. I also used light sour cream (and semi-sweet chocolate chips). Conclusion: BEST EVER.

Yay for the banana bread recipe! I am currently on a quest for good banana bread [and good quickbreads in general] - I just tried a buttermilk banana bread recipe yesterday, with good results. Chocolate sounds like a lovely addition!
