Today was an adventure! First, I was wandering around the intarweb and I ran across
Cooking for Engineers, a site for those who view cooking as more of a science than an art (and whose creator "regrets that the name can be misread (when in a rush) to be 'Cooking Foreigners,'" according to the About page). After some poking, I found a recipe for a very tasty-looking
baked cinnamon apple. I like apples, and I like cinnamon, and I like baking, so this seemed a rather suitable activity. I then observed that it was a perfect temperature to eat a warm baked apple outside, so I finished my dinner and wrapped my apple in foil and a protective towel and went to the park by my house. ...Apartment. My apartment. >_>
The place was deserted, because of the weather and Halloween, I guess, so I walked around and sat by the lake and decided that if my apple tasted half as good as it smelled, it would be a success. It
was a success, and the sun was just setting so I climbed up the very unnatural large hill (whose purpose I have yet to ascertain) in the middle of the park and watched it for quite a long time. It was pretty, and I had a clear view of the horizon, and there were some clouds and a cloud ridge over my head and I could see flashing lights of radio towers in the distance* and light streaming down through the clouds somewhere off in the distance where the sun hadn't set yet.
And then I went to the Greene, because it was pretty dark and you need light to write. I hung out for a while and did more planning, and I was looking out the window when all of a sudden I saw a familiar figure reflected in the glass. I turned around and saw Darth Vader coming up the stairs, followed closely by Han. Vader had his lightsaber and proceeded to wield it against a stack of poor defenseless R2s and then moved on to browse the cooking section.
Then I happened to see the first Yuugiou R manga! I forgot all about that mini-series! I never read the fan translations, but I got the book anyway; hope it's good. And the guy at the checkout saw my NaNo shirt and said he's doing it too, for the first year. Good luck, Books & Co. checkout guy. \o/
In the meantime, here is one more of the (admittedly few)
good potential uses for Twitter.
Hmm. Bedtime.

* Gramma told me a story about when she and Grampa were dating (I think), and they were out for a walk one evening, and they saw a radio tower with a blinking light at the top. Gramma asked Grampa what the light was for, and he said, "To make sure that planes see the tower and don't hit it." Then she asked what the tower was for, and he said, "To hold up the light!"
