Cellos are neat
Apr. 21st, 2007 08:56 pmI have been out every night this week since Monday - Ultimate, groceries, videos, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darthsappho's birthday dinner, which makes me quite glad I'm not going anywhere tonight. I'm not planning on doing anything tomorrow, either, besides homework. I did manage to get to practice around 10.00am this morning and the plan is to arrive at that time from now on, since I need the agility drills.
We did dishes this evening. There were many because we are very slack at doing dishes and relatively good at cooking, which uses up said dishes. And now none of us feels like cooking, which is a shame, because now I'm kinda hungry.
There is brownie, though. F came up after lunch and we made chocolate-caramel brownies and read on the couch while they cooked. I was reading one of my non-fiction books for the year (I'm rather behind on all this) which I have been struggling through for a while. It's a very dry and dull account of the socio-economic-cultural impact of the Romans on the Visigoths, Goths, Lamboards, and other major Germanic or Spanish tribes and the impact of said tribes on each other, done in roughly chronological order, separated out by geography. Covers some of the Scandinavian impact, too. It's called The Barbarian West 400 - 1000AD by J. M. Wallace-Hadrill and if it wasn't that I have a fairly firm policy on not getting rid of non-fiction books, it would probably end up in the cull pile. It's not that the scholarship is particularly bad, that I can tell; it's just boring. Hopefully, A History of the Jewish People by James Parkes will be more interesting.
C andmaudlinrose threw together what was essentially an antipasta platter and we hadthat for dinner, followed by conversation. It was good. Not that we ate the conversation but we did enjoy talking.
Must go to bed soon. Much homework to do tomorrow.
EDIT: I will note, because I think this is a good thing, that we found the tupperware cake tin that has been missing since we cleaned it just after Christmas today. I have wanted to use it several times since then but couldn't remember where I put it. And I was the one who put it away, I clearly remember that. Turns out it was hidden in our roasting dish. I feel stupid now.
Also, turns out that when you grate nutmeg, the bit you're holding as you grate it looks pretty awesome, all varigated light and dark.
