Two months down, ten to go
Already the end of February? I’m not even done with my dissertation yet! (insert maniacal laughter, followed by weeping)
Bread update and more
The fuffy white sandwich bread I mentioned last time, before it was baked, turned out great. So I decided to make it again.

Fluffy White Sandwich Bread
I write this before I know how the bread is going to turn out. But I am optimistic. Optimistic.
The Lives of Others and 40 minutes of Laibach
I turned on the TV just as — in my time zone — the winner for best foreign film was announced, and, lo and behold, the German entry won. I was expecting a win for Pan’s Labyrinth, a truly entertaining … Continue reading
A week in review

Rosenmontag in review.
Heroes: Great episode. It gave Ted a new companion and created a team out of a few disgruntled types. I just rewatched the Kelly Macdonald (aka: hot schoolgirl from Trainspotting; reporter in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, etc.) episode of … Continue reading
