End of the year

Yeah, haven’t posted in a while; whatever whatever. I am, at this moment, staying up far too late in order to finish a project that is due tomorrow morning, and have temporarily succumbed to the random distractions that tend to pop up in these situations (thoughts like “hey, you should update your blog sometime.”) It is due to this temporary loss of reason that I present to you this list of what I’ve been up to recently, in no particular order.

–I quit using digg.com about a month ago. The user community is loud, obnoxious, and childish, and because the site revolves around user-generated content, the stories that appear on the site’s front page tend to be loud, obnoxious, and childish. Things like this don’t help either.

–I got a camera recently. It looks like this. Expect some picture posts in the future.

–For those who don’t know, I’ve been in culinary school at MCTC for this last semestor. I just realized that there are still people that I haven’t told about that. Sorry.

–These last few weeks in class have been devoted to baking — cakes, pies, pastries and such, which means I now have the means to make those things the right way instead of trying to figure it out by testing stuff on my household every week. Last week I made two apple pies with lattice tops, which I’ve never done before, and gave one to the girls at the parsonage. It tasted good.

–Pie is better than cake. More on that later.

–Genevieve asked me if I would be able to help come up with a food plan at her and Nathan’s wedding reception. At this point, it looks as though I will be meeting with Amy DeCelles and the others that Genevieve has asked to help to plan other aspects of the wedding over the course of the summer.

–I am looking for a job. There are rumors of a painting crew being put together by Dave Beskar for the summer, and something like that would be ideal for my current situation, but nothing is for sure yet. More on that later.

–I watched Citizen Kane again recently. It is still a brilliant film. I also watched Spiderman 3 recently, which was not a brilliant film.

That’s all I can think of right now. I am done with spring semester on Tuesday, so I may have time to write more then.
