My e-mail is being really slow today. I think there is a problem with the server. It still works, at least.

I had a pretty good weekend. The cook-out turned into a cook-in. Adam made pork tenderloin with a brown sugar glaze and it was soooooo good! He also made profritteroles(sp?) from scratch, with chocolate sauce and ice cream, which were amazingly delicious. He shrugged it off, saying that he used to work in a French bistro, and he has made them so many times that he doesn't need to think about it. I dunno, I think that in a class of 12 people, where the only other boy is practically engaged, maybe he is looking for something else, you know? ;)

My games this weekend were really fun too. Perseity was eventful and interesting to watch, and there is some buildup to future evil for Lerah. Also, Faraz was entertainingly tortured by the Villikko clan, and wacky hijinks ensued. Afterwards, there was some solo for Diablotin, which I thought went really well. I was pleased with my scene with Tomas, and the other scenes I watched were all cool too. I did a thing with Mr. Cat as well, which was fun and fluffy :) I have realized that Mar kind of reminds me of Rhea, only she is shiftier and has poorer grammar. They have a similar sense of mischevious fun, but Mar also has less of a conscience and is more self-centered.

I did get productive things done though! I finished the Armada book and mostly finished the review. I'll go over it more in the next week, I'm sure, to polish it up and check for typos. I caught up on my theory readings as well. I still have a couple more to do for this week, but it is all on magnetometry so I am happy enough to skim them. A lot of it is out of date, anyway. I also got groceries, cleaned the bathroom, and did laundry. I tried to bake whole wheat bread, but it didn't quite work out. I'm not sure if it is because I didn't use gluten or because some of the yeast mixed with the water too soon. I will have to try that recipe again some other time, but I might just make a loaf of either white or half and half tonight.

Tonight is the last session of HD! I'm excited and sad and curious all at the same time! First, though, I need to go TA my class and chain myself up in the library. I think today I will focus on finding things for the presentation I have to give in October.
