gmonkey42Because I had craaaaamps. I went to the supermarket and video store then this afternoon, I took some Advil and had a lie down. Between those, I watched Napoleon Dynamite, which is awesome. Then I made peppermint bark to give the guards at work. I have nothing for my co-workers, I just realized. Oh well. One of them's off this week so she would've missed it anyway. It was more trouble than I thought because I had this leftover peppermint dust from smashing the candies, so I thought I'd put it to good use and mixed it in with the white chocolate (there's a layer of semi-sweet chocolate and a layer of white chocolate with smashed candy bits). I discovered that the melting point of candy is higher than the melting point of chocolate. I put in a little Crisco to make it creamier and it turned out fine. I have leftover candies so I'll throw some in the box with the bark. I tried breaking some up just now and it's pretty solid but I can break it. I just have to keep my hands cold so they don't melt the chocolate. I cooled my hands with a packet of frozen veggie dogs. This is all vital information.
I was going to watch A Series of Unfortunate Events but I didn't get around to it. There was a show at 7:00 but I didn't want to be up all night making the peppermint bark.
I got absolutely nothing done with LiveMotion today. So I'm seriously going to try to spend all day Thursday working on it. I might have the CD by then. I don't think I mentioned that: the e-book comes with example files that I can mess with for the lessons and I couldn't download them because there was a problem on their end so they're mailing me a CD.
I was making up a fanfic in my head today that's an AU where Remus is sorted into Ravenclaw and he becomes friends with Snape instead of James & Sirius and he ends up being a Death Eater because they're going to give equal rights to werewolves but then he and Snape both become spies. Pity I can't write.
