Today I did a lot. I actually went to bed around midnight on Saturday which was a nice change from the normal 4 am bedtime on weekends. I got up at 9:30 and wasn't even tired! I might have to do that more often. I watched a few lectures, so that's worth a pat on the back. Then I went over to Mandy's to bake bread. It was pretty cool seeing yeast "alive" in the dough that was rising. The baguettes we made ended up being really good. We watched some of blood diamond while discussing a cross country trip this summer. I'm definitely doing it. I have $375 set aside already. Too bad it can't be during that Sasquatch festival in Washington because that line-up competes with Bonnaroo's. I can't wait to see some national parks and the northwest.
After that I decided I was going to dye my hair. I don't really think I like it so far. I chose a "dark auburn" shade. They should probably rename it "red". The roots are red then it kind of fades out to a darker brown with a red hint to it. I guess that's what I get for buying a $15 box of hair dye, instead of paying a professional. I'm hoping the color will grow on me.
I just finished baking my own batch of bread. It didn't turn out as good as Mandy's, but that was to be expected because she is naturally better in the kitchen than me. Mine is still tasty. Warm fresh bread with butter is one of my favorite things. I discovered that today. I want my own bakery. Maybe when I move to Asheville...
So an interesting article:

I would have to go with the majority on this one. I'm not sure how I would survive in a world without music. Yeah it would blow to never have sex, but music is everywhere and is crucial for me to function on a daily basis.
