Weekend notes

[jethrien]

- Lovely trip to Boston. *waves to Bostonians*
- Some fantastic desserts that make me want to bake more - mint brownies, Boston cream cake, mojito cupcakes. (Gaming group, expect some of these in the near future.)
- Nothing like going on a trip to make you grateful to be home.
- Apparently the torch in the Olympic ceremonies malfunctioned - just long enough for me to run out of tape.
- Finished "Re: Your Brains" arrangement for Chuckro's a cappella group.
- Also did a lot of hand-sewing while watching three hours of Project Runway reruns. It was supposed to be Olympics, but NBC was choosing to cover such fascinating stories as a walking tour of Vancouver, some random skiier's small hometown upstate, gossip about a Kardashian, and polar bears instead of, y'know, sports. I kept flipping back to Project Runway until they got back to actual competitions, and pretty much ended up seeing a couple downhill runs and one pairs figure skating. But the Project Runway was entertaining and made me able to pretend I was sewing a fabulous costume or something instead of repairing long underwear (which is what I was actually doing).

I feel like that's the biggest problem of the "food tour"--by the end of it, you're pretty sick of the food in question. Kinda like the "butterover" problem.
