I’ve been trying the regular Maple Leaf bacon recently, instead of the 33% less salt I normally buy. I wanted to see what I was missing out on, and it turns out that it’s just the salt. The bacon does taste better (it is salt after all), but that’s about it. I’ll probably switch back to my less unhealthy bacon next time I go shopping.

I still haven’t been able to accomplish a single bit of schoolwork so far in the week. Aaron, Trolley, and Dougie were all interested in my OpenGL assignment, so I feel like I’m more inspired to work on it to show them what can be done, maybe make them proud of me. I’d definitely want to create something that they would find amazing. Almost like quantum particle observers.

I’ve been getting a boon of games lately, such as Battlefield 1942. Battlefield 1942 plays fairly well, with decent bot support, but sometimes runs at terrible speeds, even on high-end machines. The multiplayer potential is amazing though. Pat also loaned me his PS2 for the week, so I’ve been trying to get through MGS2 as fast as I can. I have to admit that hiding in cardboard boxes is the best part of the game, which is saying a lot, considering how good a game MGS2 is.

Homemade wine tastes like homemade wine.

It hasn’t been six months, but I still ain’t money.

I went to Aaron’s for new years yesterday, and we played some euchre and Canadian Trivial Pursuit. My partner for both games, which was Karen’s brother, was much better than Aaron was for Karen, I’m sure. We ended up winning all matches for both games. Jacques…must still be exhausted. It’s good to know that I can still laugh so hard that my sides start to burn from hypoxia. There was much fun had by all.

Sometimes I read about a disorder, and I start getting scared that I have it. I wish I wasn’t such a hypochondriac.

John’s coming over today. He’s driving, so we’ll have the car for three days where I can do some heavy grocery shopping. I feel like I’m having too much fun, like I should be stocking up on a fruitful holiday of entertainment in preparation for the coming term.

My first attempting at cooking something from the Naked Chef cookbook has been partially successful. I think the substitution of red wine instead of white created a sauce that was a little more tart than it should have been. The mushrooms absorbed the flavour of the sauce, but didn’t retain much of their flavour. The thyme did give everything a unique taste, but I had no porcini so it feels like something was missing in the taste of the chicken.
