Something Cooking

I...am finally gaining some ambition in the cooking department. This is momentous for me. Except for a few family cooking things that I've picked up, I have always been sort of limited to the ability to make pasta and microwave meals. So, going grocery shopping today both hungry and with aspirations of actually making big-person food managed to land me with a piece of salmon. A piece of salmon, ladies and gentlemen, which now sits in the fridge marinating in teriyaki sauce so tomorrow...there shall be salmon dinner. Boo-friggin-ya.

Life has been quite nice and easygoing...though I need to get back on the wagon for practicing piano (and unicycle!) I've been having good chill times with friends. Also, my roomie has been catching up on How I Met Your Mother...so I've been watching a lot of that. A lot a lot. As in it's persistently playing in the background when I am not at work so I hear the theme song in my head when I go to sleep and OH LORD HELP ME...

I'm managing to be ever the more useful at work! I now can actually spend several hours trying to do something and failing as opposed to just spending several hours contemplating how I would even begin trying to do it. Which still isn't super productive, but occasionally there are breakthroughs, and that's what counts!

Also. I got a haircut. This may have partially been influenced by chilling with two buds (one on Skype, the other in person) and switching somehow to playing Truth or Dare until late Sunday/early Monday. Somewhere in there I got dared to cut some hair off, and having learned since 3rd grade about the consequences of cutting off hair other people can see, naturally, I cut some hair on the back of my head that no one could see. However, the next day, the knowing...the feeling the back of my head with the patch of far-too-short hair...it was too much by Wednesday, so I got the hair a-cutted. Which I had meant to do for a while. So it ends happily, and I learn yet another lesson that I should have figured out many years ago but that college enables just fine.
