Day 123

Glee night! I had the day off and already planned to try to make a dish from the step by step book my sister gave me for Christmas. I woke up fairly early, though I was willing to sleep in and even covered my eyes with the fuzzy blanket I had reached for in the middle of the uncharacteristically chilly night, but I still turned over to push the "on" button to my computer at 8:30.

I played Dragon Age II for a good many hours, my dilemma choosing between Anders and Fenris came to a head and I guess I am stuck with Anders. I don't like that I couldn't fully woo Fenris though I refuse to read the forums to figure out how I could have succeeded until I am done with this game. I was shocked that they killed my character's (Hawke's) mother the way they did and I wonder if my response to an earlier question in the game made it so she would die. I was asked what my main goal was in rising up through the city from slums to upper class. I chose that I wanted to enter the political arena to change the way mages were treated but one of the options was that I just wanted to protect and take care of my family. I wonder if I had chose that if she still would have died.

Then I got over the death enough to stop playing and go out to get some little things from the store. Thirteen items for 45 dollars. Not cool, but I needed them. And then I began the cooking. Not comfortable in a kitchen is an understatement. I was kind of all over the place and it took my about two hours to do everything. For a dish that is essentially throwing a few cut vegetables into a baking dish with breadcrumbs and cheese, that took way too long. The texture was weird to me, still very breadcrumb-y, but the taste was pretty damn good. Or I was just that hungry after a day of eating nothing after cereal for breakfast.
