Baking and Google
So I'm officially am employee of Payrolling for Google, and await assignment like an eager little bumblebee hoping to go pollinate things. Sure, it's part-time and it's not a lot, but I'm on SOMEONE'S fucking payroll at least.
Still selling things on eBay, and am trying not to convince myself that it's all going to be eaten up by putting gas in the car and my credit card anyway. Wales. Yeah, right. WTF was I thinking. There's optimism and there's fingers-in-the-ears denial. I got some proficiency in the language out of it at least. I mean, I can read and write really well.
Baked bread, and I replaced some of the honey with black currant syrup, so that might be interesting. Gonna go cut a few slices and toast `em up to see what the end result was. Next time, I'd like to use teh black currant syrup and see if I can't get some dried currants to add to the bread as well. That plus some ... I don't know, some sort of purplish powdered sugary thing might make a neat purple counterpart to cinnamon raisin bread.
Shrimp creole tonight as well -- some chopped tomatoes, shrimp, scallops, a bunch of seasoning, onions, garlic, red peppers ...
Downloaded the latest Dr. Who, and it's actually odd how like the old show it can get at time, while still being very new. I think I may be the only person on the planet who is simultaneously squicked at the idea of the Doctor having genitals, and totally not at all offended by the idea of adult fic, even if I don't want to read it. Dr. Who is such a weird fandom for me -- I like the show, don't care to discuss it in great detail, couldn't give a rat's for the online fandom, can't imagine ficcing or slashing it, and know more about it than most people. It's got such a strange status for me.
