Stuff I'm Thinking About Today

In no particular order:

1.  Dammit, Julia Child taught me how to cook!  It's so easy and delicious, and I literally have trouble not squealing in delight any time I take my beautiful casserole out of the oven and smell whatever decadent concoction I've made.  That bitch was a genius.  Maude bless her.  I can blanch tomatoes all by myself now.  Do you know what a big deal that is?

2.  I enjoy watching "Inglourious Basterds" while I'm cooking, because I can't read the subtitles and it's fun to see how much of the French and German I can catch.  (It's not much, but it improves each time...)

3.  My friends are freaking awesome.  If I end up with a research grant next year, it's because a whole lot of people can point out stuff about me that I have trouble seeing sometimes.  It's amazing when your friends have insights into your life and personality that often escape you, personally.  Much, much love and appreciation.

4.  I really dig hanging out with my parents.  We're having a really fun weekend, and I'm happy I've had the opportunity to get to know them both as people, because they're pretty rad.

5.  I really need school to start to I quit being such a slacker.

6.  I love cheese puffs.  And 2-buck Chuck.  Sometimes together.  Don't judge me, haters.
