(no subject)

Still sick. I went to Spanish class, where I learned something about myself: holding back and not just answering all the questions myself requires patience! Patience that I did not have today!

Also I told the class what a subject and object were. Of a sentence. Because they didn't know. And the teacher was just confusing them further. I really need to resist the urge to do that, it's disrespectful to the teacher. But he didn't mind this time; he actually asked me to repeat it so everyone could write it down because he liked the way I put it. I said "the subject is the thing that does the verb and the object is the thing the verb does it to." With gestures.

WTF, I learned that in 6th grade. What the hell is wrong with schools? And/or students?

In Minecraft news, I met my first ghast today. The good news is I didn't die! It didn't even manage to set me on fire! I tried to shoot it with arrows but either they're impervious to arrows or I was missing - it was pretty far away. When I didn't hurt it and it started coming closer, I ran the hell back to my portal.

Then later, I stood atop the battlements of my castle, shooting at zombies:

success!

I got some ready-made wide rice noodles from the Asian market and I made Pad See Ew! It was pretty good! Except next time I'll put in the veggies and tofu first so they can cook longer before I put in the noodles. They come fresh in a deli pack like ground beef. It was only $2.75 for a lot - I divided them into four chunks and I cooked one chunk today and I estimate that made four servings.

It was pretty simple, I just put in oil - mostly canola with a little sesame - soy sauce, vegetable broth, coriander, pepper and about 1 tsp sugar and cooked the noodles in that sauce. Plus broccoli & carrot (pre-parboiled), extra-firm tofu and a beaten egg. Tasty! I love those wide rice noodles!
