summer cooking
Since it's gotten increasingly hot in the apartment, we've tried to stay away from cooking as much as possible. Even with the fan blowing out the kitchen window, standing in front of the stove when the oven or an element is on is unbearable. And then when you're done it's too hot to eat ( Read more... ) -
summer life
No pictures lately. I've been doing like the cat - too hot, just lay around. It already takes so much effort to be productive and get work and writing done. Extra stuff is unnecessary ( Read more... ) -

I am
incredibly bored with this chapter. I know ennui is a really stupid disruption to the writing, but it's one of those things where I've read so much about the topic that I don't really know why I'm writing about it anymore. I know I need to provide context and background, and part of the problem is that the field is just so. ridonkulously. big. But ( Read more... ) -
silly things
A couple of weeks ago.. no, actually it began even further back. It must've been after we got back from Seattle, way back in April. The bread I'd been baking regularly since December had started to fail. I wasn't sure what it was. The dough wasn't coming together into that smooth, silky feel on the first knead, and it wasn't really rising, either. ( Read more... )
