Yeah. Well, at least Brady really had to work for it.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Did you cook kale, Jesse? I also have kale taunting me.
I did, but not enough. I love kale! But still. I made this, but wish I had done it with more kale and less pasta.

That sounds good! Sadly, I'm stalling out at the chopping of the kale, which I think I need to do to do anything with it. It's only been in the fridge a few days, though, I'll get to it soon. Maybe I'll have chance to buy some bacon...
Probably I should make getting started on my gigantic head of lettuce a priority.

I'm doing a course on Global Architecture on edX, and the first couple of lectures were very heavy on pre-historic sociology and all that, which I'm afraid I find terribly dull. I was tempted to jump ahead to what I'm interested in, Medieval and Renaissance architecture, then I realized that this truly is a history of architecture, ie, why did people start building structures and what they did with them. So it has to have a foundation of prehistoric development, hunting and gathering etc, and why that changed so that people would be in one place long enough to justify spending the resources on permanent structures.
It's good to do formal learning again, even if it's just online auditing.

It's hilarious how many people (including me) don't take the lettuce anymore at the CSA pickup.

Crap! My edX class started last Tuesday and I still haven't looked at the syllabus and what have you. I don't know if I'm up for that today.

I'm watching/listening to the lectures as I work. The lectures have a transcript scrolling down the side, so I can read ahead to get the gist, then keep half an ear and eye on the actual lecture. It helps that this is not brand new information I'm trying to acquire. I couldn't do this with a hard science subject.

I did what I always swore I wouldn't: swerve for an animal. It wasn't too bad, I slowed and just nudged over into the shoulder a bit and just barely missed the raccoon. The car behind me did a bit worse, swerving clear into the other lane. If there had been a car oncoming, that would have been exactly why I tell myself just to hit the poor bastards trying to cross the road.

I don't think I could do that, but maybe on my lunch break.
Eta: the lectures, not the swerving
