Sep. 14th, 2009 06:22 amSo far today, so good. I'm guzzling water to quench the insatiable thirst I've collected over the course of the night and deciding what I want for breakfast. And waiting for Cake Wrecks to update. Is it twisted that I know this happens at precisely 6.30 every morning?
I think I slept deadly though, judging from the fact that when I did get up to go pee and rinsed my eyes out, they were so stuck together I could still barely get them open.
I really want today to be a Jael Has Energy Day. I'm sick of living in a haze... literally, because when I wake up exhausted, I'm too tired to fool with my glasses that take so much focus to adjust to. So I don't wear them. After this baby comes... we are getting new glasses, because I'm sick to death of the issues with these ones that I've been putting up with for what... five years now? Gah. Never let me be swayed by Swarovski crystals again. Just don't let it happen. Dan suggested I try contacts, and I'm not sure whether I'd be able to handle that. But I guess I'd be willing to give it a trial. Peripheral fuzz *is* one of my hugest annoyances about this current pair I have. They sit so far out on my nose it's utterly ridiculous.
Okay, Cake Wrecks time. Then breakfast.

Sep. 14th, 2009 08:40 amI just got an e-mail from Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin with the subject line, "This is personal. Please open."
Do I DARE?
Do I DARE?
So... I made ravioli.
I had dreams of grandeur and visions of bagsful of plump ravioli in my freezer when I started out, but somehow when my batch of pasta dough did only 1/3 the amount of ravioli the recipe claimed it should make, the dreams fizzled fastly away.
I want a pasta dough roller thingy. Because, it's really hard to roll out a piece of dough that is ROUND and THIN and do it QUICKLY enough that the first one doesn't completely dry out.
So, I ended up only doing one batch worth. I have enough of the filling stuff to probably do two more, and maybe tomorrow I will do another batch. Today's is in the freezer and then I will bag it up and save it against a rainy ravioli-craving day. Here's hoping it's good.

Sep. 14th, 2009 08:37 pmBook 57: Jacob Have I Loved, Katherine Paterson. 215pp
I've thought about checking out this book for a long time. After all, I loved "Bridge to Terabithia" in all its gut-wrenching, tear-invoking depressingness.
This one, though... I dunno. It kind of reminded me of my recent reaction to "Till We Have Faces" in that I didn't care about most of the characters. They just weren't likeable folk. I read most of it yesterday, couldn't handle any more, and today when I picked it up there was massive disconnect for the remaining few chapters, like my psyche just wasn't going to allow myself to get drawn back in emotionally.
Also, I think it's a really weird book to hand to a young person. Some of the things talked about are a little too suggestive for my liking considering the age group for which this book appears to be intended, not to mention the irreverence to God and the malicious fanaticism of some of the "Christian" characters.
I doubt I'll ever read it again. Just too depressing. Granted, "Terabithia" is too. But its focus is mostly on a loving friendship among dysfunction, rather than the outpouring of bitterness from a single angry soul among dysfunction.
