Today, I made "Cabbage Rolls". The recipe looked normal (yes, I'm counting cabbages in that category for now). It is the first time I went into the kitchen with the intention of cooking without any help (unless you're vain enough to include recipe books) and succeeded. Somehow, despite the fact that they turned out the way they were supposed to, I didn't like them.
Surprisingly, I've started Uncyclopedia-ing a bit. It's totally hilarious (other than being seriously icky at times). I love the articles on Hydrogen and Adolf Hitler. :D
Other than this, I've been reading Ptolemy's Gate and Sidney Sheldons; watching movies like 17 Again, Drive Me Crazy, A Walk To Remember, blah. I finished Golem's Eye, in my 3rd attempt to read it. Now when I think about it, I don't really know why I stopped twice earlier.
I also started writing a story sometime back (I'm pretty sure I've told all of you about it). I've almost written it, too. But I can't seem to be able to sit and end it! It's stuck at the last chapter and I've lost the heart to finish it.
Speaking of which, someone (and I'm going crazy trying to remember who) told me that the last part of H2G2 will be written by Eoin Colfer. I really don't think I'd like that. Not that I've read H2G2 beyond the first book. :P I'm not so sure I intend to, either.
So well, before I start to get boring, I'll quit. :) Au revoir, if I have any readers left.
"I think I'll stop here." [Anyone remember why I like this line?]
3 Wisecracks:
The name of the new book is 'And Another Thing...' Poor Eoin Colfer is pretty scared about the reception this book is going to get.

The name comes from a passage in 'So Long, and Thanks for All The Fish':
"The storm had now definitely abated, and what thunder there was now grumbled over more distant hills, like a man saying "And another thing…" twenty minutes after admitting he's lost the argument."
This was chosen because this sequel is coming out so many years after his death.
It's kinda sad that he didn't write the sequel when he was alive though. I don't blame Colfer for the way he feels about this book, that was precisely my reaction. Everyone will be trying to relate his writing to Douglas Adams's. It's kind of hard to imagine Colfer, who writes children's books, writing something in the h2g2 series.
Will found out how good/bad Eoin Colfer is when the book comes out in October this year.
