Oh my god you guys, we are totally in the home stretch.  Do you know what’s really funny?  In the beginning of the month, I thought, “Well, this is going well!  So much more fun than last year!  Perhaps I will keep on posting right through December!”  

HA HA HA!

I played Rock Band for the first time in MONTHS today.  It sucks a little because we got a new Xbox, which means all my unlocked songs are locked and I have to start over from the beginning.  Since it’s been so long, I figured I should start on easy, but after three songs I was totally bored so I jumped to hard, where I…amazed myself with my fabulous drum skilz.  It’s like riding a bike!  God I love Rock Band.  And they have Duran Duran songs now!  I downloaded Rio.  My next purchase will be Rock Band 2, solely to get Everlong.  In fact, I almost braved the day after the day after Thanksgiving shopping crowds to get it but as I was drying my hair my desire to mingle with crowds quickly dissapated.  So I sat down and pretended to do homework instead.  

Also, I discovered that although I have a sourdough starter ready to go (it’s been fermenting for 9 days–yum), making sourdough bread in a bread machine is not recommended.  And we all know that I’m not making bread by…hmm.  

Hmm.  Hmmmm.  Why COULDN’T I make bread by hand?  It can’t be THAT hard, can it?  I mean, kneading surely isn’t a blast but wouldn’t it be worth it?  I might have to ponder that.  Do you think the manual way (hand mixing/kneading + oven) uses less energy than the bread machine way?  On one hand, the oven is on, but on the other, the bread machine is on for like…4 hours.  Or maybe 2 and a half.  Either way.  

Okay gotta go!  One more day!

Tschuss!
