Feb. 14th, 2005 09:23 amCoconut Ice experiment number one last night. It came out more like coconut fudge, which is good, but not quite what I'm going for (although it's sort of spectacular out of the freezer). I've a second different recipe I'm going to try in the next couple of days, hoping that is closer to the substance from Sydney. Didn't get to the bills bread because I always wind up with twice as many things to do as I think I have to do, which is frustrating even if a constant state of affairs I should just resign myself to and will probably only get more fucked up as the days get warmer and contain more daylight (although granted, I need less sleep in the summer, so maybe I'll achieve some balance instead).
General observation: I'm methodical in ways other people (at least other people I know) find really bizarre. Perhaps anyone who is methodical about _anything_ feels this way, as I can think of numerous people I've known where one or the other of us thought "hey, you're methodical like me!" only to discover that what was actually meant was "hey, you're batshit crazy!"
Mmmmm.
Also, finally started season two of MI-5. It's the yummiest.
Keep trying to get into the new Battlestar Galactica, and I've realized what ultimately isn't working for me about it (and it's a constant throughout the show but is evidenced spectacularly in the new music versus the old music). The new show is so about this ongoing losing battle, and the old show was about weird triumph in the face of that. And while I sort of tend to enjoy the ongoing losing battle thing from a mono no aware standpoint (I mean, the elves in Tolkein, the elves!) I really hate it in this new BG. It's like that old theme song, was for the sort of thing that always seemed to force a smile from you whether you wanted it to or not; it has that feeling of slow, smug, ludicrouss realization that you can do the impossible. This new one is just sad. Which I'd probably mind less if the real world weren't so busy mimicing the end of all things too.
