Weekend With Baking

aseIt is with regret that I break radio silence with the discovery that my now-ex baking powder is made of fail. I was having the sort of Friday evening where that's a major impact on my good cheer - or lack - so the baking powder now decorates the compost bin's contents. Instead of a proper hangover and a day hiding from the light, this morning I woke up after five hours of sleep with a great day in the works. I don't understand it either; maybe I need to chuck bad ingredients with extreme prejudice more often.
Tonight I did dinner and a movie at home. Watching Across the Universe while trying to read The Good Soldiers wasn't a good call: Across the Universe blew its budget on Beatles rights instead of good writing. A really awesome story about love and the tragedies of the Vietman War may be struggling to get out, but gets lost in a mish-mash of classic rock covers, flashy stage sets, and occasionally psychedelic post-processing. Pretty, but distressingly shallow. It's the theme of this week's library haul: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Twilight are also on hand for light entertainment.
