I slept in nicely, got up and wrote a story for a new writing meme I am participaing in over at my writing journal (measured_words in cse there s still anyone out there who doens't know!), read some French shipwreck book, played with the Exia wiki, went and bought completely unnecessary groceries (baking stuff and whim things like nutella and tahini - it was right near the organic peanut butter, yum! Now I can for real make hummus :D), put together a crock of baked beans (the molasses kind) which ought to be ready around midnight, made cookies (oatmeal chocolate chip and oatmeal crasin), and then *finished* the French book! Once I got through the ship construction bits, it got a lot easier. Now I just have to put together a 30 minute presentation on it for Tuesday... I have checked and can't find any other sources to work from, although Kevin said that he thought there was a summarizing article in English somewhere. I think he is crazy :p I have checked ever way i can think of to seach for material from this ship - nada. Which is odd - it is a neat little wreck, assuming I understand it properly :V Ahh well - at least this class I'm allowed to talk about more than just the construction details, which in this case includes some cool historical background and a bunch of stuff about the cannons. Yay cannons!

What else. I just put a pizza in the oven, rounding out a perfect day of eating nothing but crap. i took out a tangerine to make myself eat at least one good thing today, but the last one I ate was bitter. I really wish there was an accessible local source for organic veggies here. I find all the citrus is overly pesticide-y, so that even the fruit is a bit chemically, and forget about baking with it :p Later tonight I may go to movie night,and get rid of some cookies. If not I'll just have to inflict them on other deserving folks!

I had a nice long chat with Hazel last night about all kinds of things, including the gym. I am going to check out the free weight page she keeps telling me about, finally, and then on Monday I'm going to see what they have... I want to get some beter back and core exercises. But first I am going to call my dad, since I missed his skype call earlier tonight because I had the voume turned waaay down on my computer so I could concentrate on reading in French...
