My ears are fixed, hooray! It's very exciting.

Also exciting - I am making more bread. I enjoyed having homemade bread a lot this week so, once again, I'm going to try to get into the habit of making dough on the weekends and baking throughout the week. Last week, I halved a recipe that was supposed to make four loaves, thinking that two would be sufficient for the whole week. The bread was gone by Wednesday. This week, I am using a whole recipe that is supposed to make four small loaves, baking it in large pans so I'll hopefully end up with three larger loaves, and seeing how that works out.

Also, this week's recipe is cheese bread. I'm hoping it's good because I love cheese bread. ::crosses fingers:: (I thought about making more broa, as I really enjoyed that, but we don't have enough cornmeal and I didn't feel like going to the store.)

Okay, so I still haven't found The Gunslinger, but I decided that I know what happens in it* and just skipped to The Drawing of the Three. Which I hadn't read in forever - I haven't read any of the Dark Tower for about...god, five years now and unlike (apparently) the rest of the Dark Tower fandom, I never liked Drawing of the Three and much preferred The Gunslinger.

But now, I am done with Drawing of the Three and have begun The Waste Lands, which is probably the book in the series that I like the best. There has been the gunslinger's catechism and the giant cyborg bear and Eddie's carving stuff and Roland is going crazy and oh man, I love this book. So much love.

In other Stephen King related news! I have been watching Haven. It's still very monster-of-the-week, but it's fun and I'm enjoying it, though none of the characters have really grabbed me as yet. But, y'know, I'm only about halfway through the first season. I am looking forward to future revelations and hoping that the headline in the credits that mentions Reverend Flagg actually comes to something eventually, as opposed to just being a sort of easter egg.
