Icicles & Soup

Well it's Thursday. Typically, if I was employed, Thursday would be my Friday as it's usually the last day we work during the week. I'm getting into a bit of a routine here at home, though I'll break it tomorrow by taking a trip to Covington. A stop by the VEC followed by a couple of stops by a couple of places of business for job references will take up the morning.

Today I watched three episodes of Firefly while processing photos. I'd forgotten how amazing that show is. The dialogue and the interplay of the characters is amazing. I hope that one day I'll be able to write something like that. After getting through the first and only season of Firefly I'll probably move on and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel again. You'll notice the trend here is that they're all created by Joss Whedon. What can I say? The man knows how to make television.

The weather here still isn't any fun. There's a stiff wind out of the west that's enough to make anyone think twice about going outdoors. Along the entire length of my house are icicles, some of which are almost touching the ground. I remember it being colder this time last year, but we didn't have near this much snow and ice on the ground.

I think I'm going to try my hand at making some homemade chicken noodle soup after this post. This would be the recipe that once caused my sister-in-law to blow up my Pyrex baking dish. If you haven't heard that story then you should backtrack a few posts. You'll find it in the blog.

Hmmm...maybe a nap first...
