Just left the following note for my dad and sister:

This Is Just To Say

I have taken
the chicken
left over
from last night

and made
some dumplings and some
noodles
for dinner.

Forgive me
it would otherwise
have just
gone to waste.

— William Carlos Williams

...Yep.

ETA: Except apparently my dad is in the North today. Uh, okay! Thanks for telling me when you were going out, dad. >:O

I should probably go ahead and eat mine now, to make sure they are actually edible. They look ~~kind of deformed~~ charmingly home-made, but otherwise passable. HOWEVER, the kitchen and I have a very uneasy relationship, so I find it best to maintain a healthy suspicion of anything it allows me to produce in order to remain, uh... healthy.

Am pondering doing the love meme that is starting to pop up on ye olde f-list, since I've been feeling pretty crappy and isolated, and because it must be well over a year since I've done one. On the other hand, there's a reason it's been ages, and it's that - for a whole variety of reasons - love memes make me really, really anxious. Which, you know. Seems just a tad self-defeating.

HO-HUM. What else. Starting back at internship on Tuesday. Went shopping for new Intern Clothes; hated it. Treated myself to Public Enemies; quite liked it. Well, except for the whole handheld digital thing. That is not gritty and immediate, Michael Mann, that is just annoying and faintly headache-inducing, and you're not fooling anybody. I understand whyfor the mixed reviews; it definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but I still enjoyed it for its weird, uneven self. Probably won't pay full price for the dvd, but I will keep my eye on the bargain bins, and hope for some good special features. Though really, Billy Crudup's turn as Hoover might be worth the few euro all by itself.

Am potentially going to Riverdance on Friday, for sister's birthday, depending on whether or not she can persuade one of her friends to go with her. The cheese factor, it is high, but whatever - it's still a good show, and I've never been. I have nothing to wear, but my level of not-caring is pretty high, there.

ETA: Friend persuaded, alas.

Yeah, my life is pretty much boring as hell right now. It almost makes the endless, eyeball-curdling drudgery (interspersed with fits of organisational rage) of the cast list reboot seem appealing.

...No, wait.

I...love...Deadwood!

And youu~uu.

You are the best nerd ever.

...You can make dumplings? I am still at the Remedial Water Boiling point. *impressed*
