Nabbed the first season of Murphy Brown from the library yesterday, and watched the first disk. The show has held up pretty well, actually. The jokes still work. I'm sorry that apparently the first season didn't sell enough for any more DVDs to be put out. I used to be a big fan of the show but haven't thought about it in ages until I saw it at the library and figured it would be fun to have on while I puttered around the kitchen and made my first solo attempt at bread (my first assisted attempt at bread taking place a mere five days previous).
The bread came out rather oddly shaped, and a weird texture, but it was actually pretty tasty. Will carry out more experiments with my remaining two packets of yeast, and then maybe I'll buy a jar of it instead of the little envelopes.
Will probably watch more of the tv show tonight while attempting a second loaf. Also, I've been playing with collage - I hesitate to label the activity as "making art," because it's rather the same sort of thing you see all over Etsy in various forms - but it's soothing to play with the acrylic paints and the various forms of transfer mediums I'm working with. At some point, no doubt, I'll end up with a giant vat of beeswax bubbling away in a crockpot, a mitre box, and all sorts of other heat tools and quilting irons and stamps, but I'm going to wait on those and just continue to play with contact paper and photocopies and so on. I'll post a few photos when I have something to show.
