Peg e have spent the past 24 hours working on croissonts. They are still not finished. They are rising for the final time, and then we will bake them, probably around midnight, but considering I blew it with the not putting hot water in the oven thing, possibly later. But the ends of the croissonts, the stuff that we couldn't turn into actual croissonts, were totally wonderful when I baked them in the toaster over. So these should be totally yummy too.

In my search for the tea that I drank in Turkey (which isn't actually sold in the US, generally, or so I was told by this kid at my old school who is really into tea), today Peg e and I went off to this store that has food imported from all over the Middle East. They didn't have the tea, it was sad. I asked. I said, do you have Turkish tea? And he said, no, they have Indian tea. But they had Turkish Delight flavoured with lemon and rose and mint (three different ones in the same box) rather than the nasty pistachio stuff I was first introduced to and halva and powered vegetable soup base and all sorts of interesting things. Next I will go to see the Lebanese man who makes the best baklava I've ever eaten at the farmers market and see if he sells it, but he probably doesn't. And if this too fails, then maybe I'll ask Harun very nicely if he'd please get me tea this summer.

We are getting a sattelite internet connection installed. Like, right now. There is a guy on our roof setting up the sattelite. I told my sister I'd talk to him about installing the software. This is very exciting. This is due to our families long problems with connecting to the internet and it being very very slow and then our phone lines being very old and poorly connected and sometimes picking up other people's conversations and spontaneously disconnecting.

I know no one can read this, but I am checking to see if there was an email about pages going down. And it doesn't appear that there was one.

Also, has anyone ever thought of Gladiator as a "chick flick"?

It clicks! AIM on this computer clicks when people get on and off! It's very odd as not only do I have the alert sounds off, the sound card doesn't work.

I seem to have sort of agreed to go into my old school on Fridahe cooking for their International Adventure lunches (people are trying to raise money to hike on the Appalachian Trail, and on Fridays they are making foods from all over the world). I had just wanted to go in and eat the food, but it seems that I will be cooking as well. I have to hang out with grownups the whole time, cause I don't have a police background check, and I'm now a grownup, but that's okay. I don't know most of the kids these days anyway. Sad sad, all my friends have left for one reason or another. But anyway. Apparently on Friday I will go in and help cook Ethiopian food (I'm not at all surprised if I spelled that wrong). Now, I have never eaten Ethiopian food, let alone cooked it, so it will be a fun little experiment.

No one else here seems to be at all interested in watching AI. I wanted to go out and rent it, but they all sort of booed and hissed at me, so I didn't. Also, i sent my sister to the store. Well, actually, I sent her to pick up our brother, cause I picked up the dog from the groomer, and they went to the store on their way home. I asked them to get AI and Gladiator (I haven't seen either, and we saw a preveiw for Gladiator when we were watching American Beauty, which I also hadn't seen, and I decided I wanted to watch it). They came home instead with three bad movies. I haven't a clue how they picked any of them out. They got this movie called Druids, which was horrible (note to Neil: it would probably make a very good Mabel movie; although we turned it off), The Player, which I left cause I thought it was dull and I didn't like any of the characters, and January Man, which I also left cause I thought it was dull. Maybe when we take Druids back I'll get one of the movies I actually wanted to see.

My sister went off to see Gosford Park this afternoon. We went to a noon matinee, cause for a matinee we could pull of paying $5 and still get the awesome seats they have at that theatre. There were four other people in the theatre, cause, well, who really goes to see noon showings on Wednesdays? At any rate, I quite enjoyed the movie, and was glad she made me go. Tomorrow my mom is taking us to amatinee of A Beautiful Mind.

Cassie was wondering if there are any altos in operas. As thre are none in Don Giovanni. Does anyone know? I was saying that I assume there are, but I can't think of any, but I also don't know opera.

I thought to myself, I'll buy Civ III with Christmas money, and then I'll fill out my financial aid forms tonight and then I'll play Civ III and it'll be all happy. So I went off to Circuit City today, to pick up Civ III, and they had it, but not for the Mac. In fact, they had no Mac games at all, and this made me sad. What made it particularly odd is that I've bought Mac games there.
