Today I had to head into D to buy bread flour and Radio 2 was playing Sugarland. I went through my usual fare of what is this/is this 'x'?/YES, YES IT IS/wait, is it?/YESSSSSSSS and was pleasantly surprised by the whole ordeal.

Relatedly: baking shenanigans! Tomorrow I'm going for a coffee/non-alcoholic beverage at lunch with Boss Lady & Co. I have baked cupcakes to take in because I am That Person. I found a passable buttercream recipe and added some melted chocolate chips to change the taste a little. The Sister approves, though The Mother prefers them plain.

I also used the bread flour I bought to make some no-knead bread. Well. The dought. Currently it is covered with cling film and proving in the airing cupboard. If I explained the true heights of my excitement concerning this endeavour you'd all fire me. I'm just saying. (So! Damn! Excited!)

Speaking of Boss Lady & Co., I took some ducks to the centre on Monday, namely Honey & Jack, my two newest recruits, sent to me at Christmas by the ever-kindly and delightful zeitheist. Needless to say, they were a BIG hit. I'll have pictures up at duck_cheer as soon as photobucket stops arsing around. (Speaking of duck_cheer, I'm in the process of cleaning the comm up for whatever comes next so if any of you know where the ducks are at, please let me know, or ask the people who have them to send them to you so that you can send them back here. Or something. Idk. I MISS THEM.)

So, yes, ducks at the centre. The Trustee made up a rule where any one who picked them up had to have a photograph taken with them and she kept tricking volunteers into grabbing them, so I have a few pictures of that too. Lolarity!

The Dad drove me to the train station today to buy my season ticket but apparently I can't buy it until Sunday. So. That was a waste of time.

edit: Also, um. Well. I might be starting to learn how to drive soon. Ngggh.

I just watched CSI; Grissom's penultimate episode! I'm feeling sort of tense about it? I don't know. I've watched this show since the year it started airing, and I've stuck with it through all its crap. I feel loyal to it despite its diminishing capacity for yay and the fact that it's a completely different entity to that which I fell for way back when. But crikey: can I really do CSI sans Grissom? I don't know, people. I really don't. /tragic

--

I also watched The United States of Tara today and laughed out loud several times. Oh gosh, this show is so... I don't know. It's weird. I like it, and it's very much a comedy, but it's not always comic. It's also so short (half-hour, not full) that I can't believe we've only got a few episodes left.

--

Saving Grace, and then to sleep. Need to be at the centre early tomorrow so that I can sort things out pre-class.

UM. The Hungry Sim Card webad for Orange? SCAAAAARY. Especially when it starts stuffing its face with text. Ugh.

Sugarland are on the B-playlist. IT IS EXCITING. I'm not a huge Sugarland fan but I love that song. I also love Terry making Lynn sing along.

Also, re: CSI, I've seen two episodes without Grissom now and both have been excellent. I haven't liked CSI for a long time, but those episodes - the second of the two, especially - felt very reminiscent of early CSI. It was a strong story, there were jokes and there was no fandangly technology that makes my brain bleed with its sheer stupidity.

It is not quite a lost cause!

Me too! Maybe this time it'll catch for me.

That's the best tag ever. Just thought you should know.

Also, I would LOVE to bake bread, except that I don't actually like it and so it would never get eaten.

Noooooo - I am your chauffeur!!

Being able to drive doesn't mean I'll actually have a car. You can still be my chauffeur. :)

I discovered Sugarland last month and now own all their albums. I have taken to them in a Big Way. & then they were on the radio! What?! AMAZING.

I'll still watch, I think, because I'm watching it on TV now so it's a nice family habit. But still. This season has made me very sad. I really feel Sara and Warrick's absence.

We shall have to keep each other updated; compare notes etc. (As a general rule I dislike cars but if I don't learn then the rail company is going to eat my soul, so it's become an imperative. Sadface.)

Your new default scares the crap out of me every time I see it. What IS that?

Hee, thank you. I use them for my own amusement, but it's nice when other people get lols from them.

! You don't like bread? This is a great shame. Maybe you can bake it for someone else? I think people should bake bread at least once in their life. I think you'd enjoy the process, actually, because I know that you like to bake (y/n?)

Yay! ... although, I'm not sure what dad's reaction to that would be! Maybe i should think about getting a car...
