It was love at first sight. And the way she wrote about it. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Anyways, I saw it yesterday and I'm in the process of baking it right now. You know what's really tough? Being patient. And you wanna know what you have to be patient for? Baking bread. I started last night but then it was 10 PM and I just wanted to go to bed so then I had to resume the process this morning but now I'm in a time crunch because I have to be at work at 12:30 but I really want to greet this thang right out of the oven and smell it and cherish it and then jump around giddily while it cools.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that, that applies to me right here, right now.
You know what's really fun? Baking bread to film scores. It's so inspiring and it makes you feel like you can conquer the world by just putting that delicious bundle of goodness into the oven.

Well I do and sometimes I imagine myself getting some kind of honor for what is in reality a really mundane thing but I build it up to be a life-changer, a big deal. I'm so vain, I like to think everyone thing is about me. I know that's awful but I struggle with that almost daily. Yeesh.
Well. That's all. Maybe I'll come back to tell you how it turned out. Or maybe I won't.
