Kitchen Mishaps

Today I burnt my hand on one of the heating coils in my oven, which had apparently come loose and was hanging down ominously, just waiting for some hungry, unsuspecting (klutzy) young woman to make her dinner. Skin doesn't like to be baked at 400º. It kinda hurts. I am an idiot.

But my pasta was yummy with the sauce I made yesterday and some cheese melted on the top. Oh, and it seems that all I do in this journal is talk about food. I think I just like food a lot.

Stuff and Nonsense

I kept seeing the career meme pop up everywhere, so I gave in and took the test. I think first it said I should be a tour guide, but then I specified my level of education, and the results changed accordingly. Check it out!

Today was the first meeting and officer elections for the McGill CLA chapter. I won the (uncontested) election for secretary! I guess nobody else wanted to take minutes. But, hey, can't be worse than transcribing Bukusu.

I still haven't bought my textbooks, so today I thought I'd look them up on Amazon. It turns out they're significantly less expensive. For instance, the bookstore is charging $106 (CDN) for the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, while Amazon only charges $65 (US). Even with international shipping, that's a huge difference. I'm glad I didn't run out and buy the books right away, then find out later I got riped off. So until I can get copies from Amazon, I'm sticking with the library copies. The mysterious missing Introduction to Cataloging and Classification reappeared today! It was (surprise) shelved wrong when I turned it in on Thursday. ::rolls eyes::

In random, unrelated news, I made an omelette for dinner tonight, and it actually looked like an omelette instead of a goopy mess! Usually I have trouble getting them out of the pan in one piece. I am so talented. Maybe chef should be on my career list!
