i tried making croissants today with Nigella's recipe for pastry dough. it was quite a flop - they turned out more like bread than flaky pastry which was quite disappointing. i probably over-kneaded or something. still edible and buttery, but not what i wanted. i'm going to have to try again, but i've never had much luck with pastries and icing. those two aren't my strong points when it comes to making stuff.

well my sleeping cycle is really quite screwed up. last night i stayed up watching tv (i watch so much tv it's unbelievable) and there's this show on MTV called The 70s House. it's pretty interesting - it's a reality show where the contestants live in this '70s house' and everything they wear and do has to be strictly 70s. i'm not sure where they get the clothes from, but they have to try and behave 70s too, by using the slang of the 70s and stuff. every week someone gets eliminated and the person who is the 'most 70s' wins.

the concept just really interested me. unlike in Survivor or Big Brother or whatever where people simply get confined to a certain place, these people are stuck in a certain time frame. some contestants complained that it was driving them mad, and i can see how. i think being in a time bubble can seriously screw with your brain after awhile.

right now i am just so lazy to do anything. which really isn't good. i've been mooching around at home a lot, and i really enjoy it, though it's wrong.

i've been thinking about things (you) a lot lately and i came to realize that for the past two years, most people i only just met at the start of these two years have come in and out of my life but you've always been there, and it was very comforting to have you around. it makes me a little sad to realize that right now i'm losing you little by little, day by day. christmas will always make me think of you, and maybe that's why i'm not really ... in the mood this year.

okay, so i know christmas should be about God and Christ and everything but i haven't really been seeing it that way and i've allowed myself to get clouded by such sentiments and personal issues, so, you know, sorry about that.
