i hate male cyclists and other things you've heard before

obviously not all of them. just the jackass variety who catch up to me at a traffic light or crossing, make sure they get in front of me when the light goes green, and then proceed to go at a pace slower than mine so that i am up their ass. and of course, if i pass, they will get huffy, knock themselves out to pass me, and then resume same slow pace. i think it ought to be legal to knock these guys off their bikes. preferably into the canal or the river.

also v tired. i keep waking up at 5:30am desperately in need of a drink. so i have to get out of bed to get a drink. then i go back to sleep. then when my alarm goes off at 7:25 i am tired and cranky because i'm about midway through a sleep cycle.

it's only tuesday and already i'm losing track of what day of the week it is. it's going to be a long week.

in the news

bank thief left £7m iou in safe

apparently high housing prices cause british binge drinking

and in a different category of entertainment, rocket racing!

potato bread

potato bread is awesome. i just needed to share that. i predict i will be making it more often in the future. of course, i also predict i will be making only one loaf at a time. i don't have a mixing bowl big enough for the full two loaf recipe. didn't figure that out until it was too late this time.

mini pies are also awesome. i think sunday i'll make mini pumpkin pies. and i will make either pumpkin bread or possibly pumpkin ravioli to go with it. (maybe both...depends on how much pumpkin i have leftover i suppose.) pumpkin ravioli would be really yummy...

and yes, i am a little food fixated. this is what happens when i am starving and waiting for my dinner to cook. (just pasta with tomato sauce and cheese tonight. i was fancy last night and did chicken with chips and corn on the cob. tonight i am lazy.)
