Domestic goddess, reporting for duty! :D

Note the first:  My husband makes possibly the best guacomole in the world.  I could drown face-down in a bowl of the stuff and die happy. omgsogood.

Note the second:  Was in a bread-bakey mood today, and have decided to try out a recipe I have for challah.  It is in the oven, and the house should be smelling delicious soon.  (If the challah works out, next step is brioche! Which still terrifies me somewhat!) ---Oh, yeah, baby.  Fresh-bread-smell in the house.  Mmmmm :)

Note the third: I keep saying this, and I keep not doing it.  I think it's time to trim ye olde f-list.  If I (a) cannot remember the last time I commented in your journal, (b) cannot remember the last time you commented in my journal, (c) have caught myself skimming your entries without clicking on your LJ-cuts, or (d) cannot remember how I even know you, then you will likely be trimmed.  Let me know if you don't want to be. :)

ETA:  challah bread was not a total crash and burn failure! Slightly overly brown on top, and I totally screwed up the braiding of it, and I am suspecting it ought to have risen higher, but I am eating a piece of it slathered with honey and it tastes good! :D

ETA2: Bread was good, but now I require tea... I think some Earl Gray with bergamot should do the trick nicely.

But...but I keep thinking about how much I miss you and how we never talk and it is so saaaad.

It really is kind of ridiculous how it takes Yuletide for us to connect again, and even then we spend the first hour bemoaning how it's taken us that long to connect. IT IS A CYCLE OF MADNESS.

(Also, did you hear? The Hamlet with David Tennant is going to be on PBS this month!!!!)

I HAVE IT DOWNLOADED! MWHAHAHA!

I even converted it to my Apple TV and everything.

Must abandon life at some point to watch it ...

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Wait what. DOWNLOADED WHERE HOW WHERE HOW?

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

*goes digging for link*

Try this link.

If that doesn't work, I'll link you to the other download that breaks it up into six parts. Or, if you have iTunes, I can send you the iTunes file I have.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

...I-I have iTunes, yes.

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Okay. So, can do it one of two ways. Hop on AIM and I'll do a file transfer that way or I'll upload it to MegaUpload so you can grab it there.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Let's try mega-upload. I'm going to get George to download it so we can watch it on the big TV :D

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Oooh, wait. BETTER SOLUTION. *goes to upload it to my MobileMe account* I'll let you know when it's ready. It's nearly 2.5GB.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

George raises a good question: It's not DRM-protected, is it?

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

No. I downloaded it off of a community in six different parts, joined them together, then converted it for iTunes.

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Oh!! And I just Tweeted you the message too, but the film is to be released on DVD and Blu-ray here in the States on May 4!

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

*FLAIL BLU-RAY FLAIL!!!*

Of course, this means I'll need to get it AND the BBC Pride & Prejudice at some point in the near future. (Watched the new Dorian Gray movie last night -- Colin Firth's in it -- and I was hit by a hankering to watch the P&P mini-series... but I want it in Blu-Ray now. :D)

I NEED THIS LIKE BURNING.

PS

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

you are awesome. ♥

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Holy Crap! No I didn't hear that. Methinks I need to catch up with Masterpiece. (I'm assuming it's going to be on Masterpiece because he's the host and stuff but I could be, you know, wrong.)

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting he's the host of Masterpiece! Bad Tennant fan! Very bad Tennant fan! *slaps own wrist*

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Well, since he's usually on the screen for a hot two minutes or so it's actually pretty easy to forget. I do love his normal accent, though. I need more audiobooks because I could happily listen to him all afternoon.

For some reason my brain turned that into "David Tennant, in: THE HAMLET." Or better yet, Teh.

and now said brain is melting.


*goes to look up local TV schedule*

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Sad thing is, what I wanted to type was "The David Tennant Hamlet..."

[pagerunner-j.livejournal.com]

Sadder thing is, Channel 9 is being unhelpful, but -- ah, there. Found it on a search. Guess I know what I'll be watching on Wednesday night.

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Not just Tennant, but Patrick Stewart is Claudius. It's enough to make any literary geek die of sheer pleasure.

Here is the preview film that Great Performances is going to air this coming Wednesday. I can't find anything about the full feature being shown on here yet.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

PICARD IS CLAUDIUS? *is ded of awesome*

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT???

*has posted about this conversation to Twitter*

[tarysande.livejournal.com]

I saw Picard as MacBeth a couple of years ago, live. He was so amazing it actually kind of hurt. I mean Patrick Stewart. Yeah. (Though I will say I stopped thinking of him as Capt. Picard after approximately 2.5 seconds. He is THAT GOOD.
