This was too funny, I had to share. It was saved as a favorite on my sister's site.
The video was funny. Too bad it is now unavailable.

Cultivating New-ish Hobbies
I decided to drag out my bread maker, after a good couple of years of not using it at all. I just got rid of an additional one that never worked (the heating element was broken from the beginning), and thought, "Why am I not using this other one?" So I decided to make French Bread.
Since it had been so long since I used the machine, I accidentally used a recipe that was meant for the the one I had thrown out! It cooked okay I guess, but came out in a weird shape, and the crust was a little tough. The next loaf turned out great! It was so exciting to be able to eat hot, fresh bread that I made myself! I wondered why I had not been making bread more.
I also had not played my Guitar Hero for a long time. So lately I have been trying to level up on some of the songs. It is fun, but that last song "Satch Boogie" by Joe Satriani is so hard for me!
Aside from those things, I am trying to grow fresh basil and snap dragons. I have never been good at the green thumb thing, but I am giving it another try. I already made the tips of the poor little leaves on the basil turn brown, but my boss told me it was because I was over watering. So now I have cut back on it. Funny... I once killed a whole thing of cactus's once due to under watering, so over watering is actually progress! Ha ha.
I am about finished with the Manga series I have been reading called "Fruits Basket" by Natsuki Takaya which has taken some time (23 volumes is quite a few!), but a great series. I read many of them out of order, so some of the parts did not make sense until later. I decided to pick up another book called, "Japanese In Mangaland" by Marc Bernabe, thinking it may be easier to learn Japanese that way. I was able to write a few Kanji out, which was fun, but Japanese is a hard language to learn!
I think my next project is possibly learning how to make freezer jam. I have a recipe, and it looks relatively easy. Wish me luck!
