The realization that with certain baked goods I've been making these days I could host a feast for all of my boyfriends with strange diets.... Nut-free, vegan, and now gluten-free. Combined with my own experiments in alternative sweeteners, I should probably consider opening up a bakery of my own.
Experiment #451 in the oven as I write: a take on baked apples. We'll see how it goes.
So... Obama. He's a good man. Newfound patriotism I didn't even know I was capable of. (what? what?) Strange to wear red, white and blue on Bard campus and not feel like a joke or a mistake. In waiting for the actual presidency: expectations are high, if not from me, from everybody else. Still deciding where my expectations lie...
Senior proj, senior proj..... More time now, but I keep falling asleep? Not kidding. I get really pumped to sit down and write/plan/do and *boom* I fall asleep. My age old natural avoidance tactic is kicking in, but this time I really don't want to avoid! Unfortunately, resisting fatigue when you've no longer got a pressing schedule is one of the more difficult things to do. Working on it. At least I've gotten to the studio a number of times, started setting up and doing a little bit of work. What sucks most right now is they took the camera away from me. Shit. That makes me practically useless. Hope I get it back soon.
Boy is good, boy is gone. Very good that Mr. Distraction is not within reach at the moment. Writing/making letters and baking gluten-free food (even though he won't be eating it) is enough of a distraction.
I can't believe how long autumn has lasted. I guess that means time is moving slowly this season. (Strange, considering the speed of the academic year. Oh Time! you take such twisted paths! Split and concurrent at once!) The leaves are finally leaving their perches, landing in such grand piles, offering a joyful padding to trodders and trodden who roam about. My own perch above Red Hook is exposed, but now I've new sights across the street. Pissed though, that I've so few hours to view it in the beautiful autumn sunlight. And it's supposed to get darker till my birthday - ugh! Yeah, I know this isn't news, but every year the loss of daylight gets me. And then as soon as I get used to it and start feeling comfy in the womb-like world of early winter, they start to turn the lights on the bleak, slush-encrusted world of the everlasting 'rest-of-fucking-winter.'
But I digress... I'm actually enjoying the world right now. Feeling pretty content about things.
