badseed1980Tonight I am going to do the EASY thing. I am going to WALK from work to Fenway station. I wish I'd looked at the map before--it's only a freakin' mile! Then I'll take the green line a few stops and walk for a few more minutes, and I'll be there, nicely warmed up. Shoot. My Tuesday could have gone so much better last week if I'd just USED my damned BRAIN.
*sigh*
Anyway. I feel like such a lump not having gone to EITHER class last week. Then again, I wasn't feeling up to snuff on Thursday, and didn't go to work, so skipping dance seemed like the right thing to do. Now I will get my ass in gear.
Tomorrow I go see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nepenthe01 about Raks Nativity. (nepenthe01, should I bring anything? And what's the name of the song we're using? I got your map, but not the title.)
Thursday is MORE dance, this time with Najmat. I should ask J. what we did last week that I missed.
So. Other than lack of dance, what's been going on? Well, I learned how to make corn tortillas! I was going to get a package of corn tortillas at the grocery store, for tacos. The only ones they had were a one-pound package. For a one-person household, that's too many. So, I decided to get a five-pound bag of masa harina instead. Now I can make just as many tortillas as I'll need at a given time, and they'll be FRESH and WARM and AWESOME. If I had a tortilla press they would be ridiculously easy. As it is, I've been using the round glass plate from my kitchen scale, wrapped in plastic wrap, and a cutting board wrapped in plastic wrap, to shape them. Pity a tortilla press is a unitasker. Still, it might be worth it--they're really cheap, even the ones from hoity-toity shops are around $20. It would save my arms, too.
Oh, also, I went to the Museum of Science on Saturday withshroderdog and Captain Awesome. It was a hoot. Dinner at the Ale House with them and bakuwaki was also fabulous, as was the chattiness that kept us all awake far too long at their place afterwards.
I think I need to go visit my parents soon. It's been a while since I went there. I've seen them three times since May, but it was up here in Boston--that's a switch! It would be kind of good to get out of the city briefly and just chill at their place for a weekend. Get some knitting done, chat, cook, eat, walk around the yard and garden...
OK, better get going on work again, now...
