SSDD

I don't really feel creative today, so I did the Annie's mac & cheese/veggie thing. Today it seems kind of bland, so I think I'll retire this recipe, but it did me well for a while.

Breakfast consisted of a banana and an apple... I would have done more, but I had to rush out the door, since I slept through my alarm (surprise, surprise). Still got to class in time, somehow.

Third day of classes went by well. I'm really enjoying my film & prose class, as the teacher is a blast. Afterwards, for some reason the buses were taking forever, so I had to wait almost as long as it would have taken me to walk home. Actually, the bus pulled up just as I was about to start walking. Wow, this paragraph is terrible.

Tomorrow is going to be a cooking day. I'm going to make a lot of casseroles so that I have good food throughout the week. Well, maybe I'll just make one casserole, and a quiche. I'll report on it tomorrow.

Oh, and I've been forgetting about this... I finished Treasure Box by Orson Scott Card, and it was MUCH better than Lost Boys. I really loved the plot twist, and the ending. It was good and open: not a "Happily ever after" ending, but more of an ambiguous ending like Eternal Sunshine. Now I'm reading Road to Dune by Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, and Kevin J. Anderson. The first part, about "Duneworld" is basically the rough draft of Dune. It's as if Frank Herbert knew that this story wasn't as engaging, or well developed. He knew he had to grow to create a masterpiece like Dune. His son, on the other hand, thinks he can make more money by publishing the terrible first draft of the novel, along with a few assorted deleted portions of Herbert the Greater's published novels. I haven't gotten to these parts, but I'm pretty sure that he took the excerpts out for a reason. Basically I'm mad I spent five bucks on this book at Half Price Books. Oh well, lesson learned.
