Hogwarts Conclusion, and a brief update

Well, I'm installed in my mother's apartment, my Christmas is pretty much over, and life is rumbling onward. I've spent pretty much all day engaged in the apartment hunt, and all of the places are running together in my head. I'll be leaving in a few minutes to go to a couple of open houses, and then I'm viewing a place at 3:45, and then I'm gonna try to get out to Roosevelt Island to look at a place there. I don't really think I want to live on Roosevelt Island, but it's big and cheap, and that's not bad really. It's kinda funny, I had about a 30 minute time period where I was less stressed about the apartment stuff because I'd made a phone call or two, and I was sitting and thinking I'd just wait for that to pan out. On further reflection, though, I realized that was silly. So now, I'm juggling about 8 different things at once, and more stressed out than ever. Sigh.

The holidays have been hectic, and it's slightly sad to say that I'm actually kind of glad that they are done. I've had tons to say on and off over the last few days, but now that I'm actually sitting here typing, I can't seem to think of any of it, so I guess that I'll leave it at that. Maybe when I get home this evening I'll be able to put my thoughts in to some sort of more coherent order.

Oh, and I'm completely in love with this song. It's really pretty and reminds me of Changeling.

Experiments in Cooking, Writing, Stuff

Well, I'll update this later with info on the apartment hunt, and my new Monday feature of writing (rather than posting the writing to share every day). For now, though, I was in fact able to start my cooking plans last night, and I made salmon for the first time. In fact, I made Pepper Crusted Salmon, sans the sesame seeds and soy sauce, (I don't like sesame, and I couldn't find the soy sauce) and peas and corn to go with it, and it has been well received by two eaters. :) Yay!
