hathycolLast night, I had a dream about doing music again, and sneaking around where people from high school stared at me but didn't quite recognise me, and then the Jedi said it was okay to do so.
It was a very strange dream, and I proceeded to wake Simon up and tell him about it. He stared at me blearily and asked, quite reasonably, if there was a good reason I thought Obi-Wan Kenobi was okaying me sneaking around for the purpose of visiting Simon.
*shrugs* My subconscious is weird.
Anyway. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing arsing around on LJ, because I have a horrific amount to do. I am the last one out of the house, but I will be the first one in, so I need to hoover all the carpets, take all the bins out, clean through the kitchen and get rid of any perishables, pack all my stuff, sort out what I need to take home and swap over (new books) and what I need to take home full-stop because I won't have space at summer in the car and OH THE STRESS. Plus I have to take two people's stuff home, because Simon decamped here straight from university so my room is a little bit cluttered as it is.
Oh, and I rather foolishly decided that the best food for tonight would be lasagne. It takes me bloody hours to make that! *flails* Busy, busy... oh, and I'm not dressed or showered yet.
Yay.
The thing is, I've spent this week catching up on my sleeping, and my decadent eating and cooking, and my tendancy to do nothing but read with my spare time, and more importantly, my DVD time. We've re-watched all of Firefly except for Heart of Gold and Objects in Space and more importantly Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit turned up from amazon.co.uk's DVD rental thingie yesterday. OHMYGODSOGOOD. Actually hurt with the laughing once or twice, but nothing I can quote because it was all visual humour. If you've seen it, you know what I mean with the whole "Give over!" bit. Plus, it's all with Northern accents and that always makes me giggle for a film that won an Oscar.
Anyhoo. Go and see it. It is brilliance. And the best film I have ever seen about rabbits, and yes, it includes Bright Eyes.
That is all I have to say. Simon has finally departed the shower (it is wrong that it takes me fifteen minutes to shower on a bad day and it takes him forty-five minutes on a good day) so I can go and shower and Begin My Long And Arduous Day. Yay!

I've actually never precooked the lasagne noodles, and it turns out fine every time. It really saves a lot of time. Only downer's that you have to break the noodles to get them to fit in the pan.
Curse of the Were Rabbit was so funny.

I think American lasagne and British lasagne are different things - the American girl who lived wih us for a while was horrified at the way I made lasange. Basically, it's a bolognese mix, a layer of lasagne sheets and cheese sauce and then all over again, topped with grated cheese.
Noodles are... something different...
