Let's Pretend This Is Clever

masterofmidgetsThree Things About Wednesday:
1. I hate having arguments where both of you know that the thing you are arguing about is irrelevant - it could just as easily be radio stations or cake toppings as the state of the bathroom floor - and you are just displacing a different argument onto something less fraught. I got into two separate screaming fights with my dad today, one about dishes (although that was mostly an 'I don't like your tone, young lady' kind of fight) and one about chili sauce. I'm not even sure what we were actually arguing about. On the other hand, as arguing topics go for me and my father, those were pretty innocuous. We've certainly had worse. I didn't even have to cry to get him to apologize to me.
2. I made the most gorgeous loaf of bread ever today. I haven't even tasted it yet, it was too pretty to eat. It was almost perfectly round, and better risen than I've ever pulled off before. Normally my round loaves go out instead of up and end up like giant crusty pancakes - not bad tasting, but only good for very narrow sandwiches. I am getting better at this! I am also optimistic about how this one will taste. It has toasted cornmeal and lard in it, I have high hopes.
3. I'm finally finishing up season 4 of Supernatural. Yes, I know I'm horrendously behind. Life got complicated and stressful and I couldn't emotionally handle a show where the main characters routinely sell their souls to demons to stop each other dying. I'm really liking it now though! Although apparently I missed the memo that this is the season where Sam goes ABSOLUTELY CRAZY, because wow. I mean, I was aware of the whole sexing up a demon, drinking demon blood, using weirdo psychic nosebleed powers thing. But it wasn't until the episode with the Lost Winchester Brother that it really hit me how completely and utterly his frame of mind has shifted from earlier seasons. Dude is fucked up. I LOVE it.
