1. lovely weather. perfect weather, actually. gray, cool, smelling of rain but nary a drop falls... and me... stuck at work.

2. co-bakeress a'm allows me to leave early as i've ill-planned my day leaving a large chunk of time in which nothing could be begun let alone accomplished in full. [i was caught in pie mode: 2 caramel apple str��el pies, 2 vegan chocolate tofu "cream" pies, 1 vegan lattice-toppt peach-blueberry, 1 vegan double-crusted strawberry (baked, not fresh), 2 coconut cream pies, 2 chocolate cream pies, 2 gluten-free [GF] pumpkin pies, 1 GF cherry str��el, 1 GF peach str��el and a partridge in a peartree.] [[other items made/services rendered: the idea for the october cookie of the month, white chocolate&cranberry&pumpkin cookie; 2-2/3 hotel pans of chunky ginger pumpkin cake (with the best frosting in the world...and yes, i mostly likely am biased because it has my favourite baking spice, mace, in it); caramel crunch bars; and i swear i did something else too.]]

3. leaving work early, driving home early... minor car accident with small korean woman who insisted that we not call the police and that i hand over all my information even though there's more damage [barely noticeable though] to my car. i'm still not entirely convinced that the accident was my fault... since both of us were doing illegal drive around the left-turner maneuvers... she was speeding and i ignored the "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" warning.

4. i attend to the cinema with the cheese buyer who along with her husband is/are somewhat my new neighbour/s.

5. internet had given the wrong times to cinema. we kill time at Old Chicago and the Har Mar barnes&noble. i have a black&tan and patty melt only to purchase near $80 worth of etymology&phrase dictionaries and brit-american lexicons. [[the latter only to inform riina that backlog is called "overstock" in america. it's a giggle to skim through.]]

6. see The Wicker Man. blecht! ptooey! ish! though, for those that know how i feel about nicholas cage [am trying not ruin film in the instance one should ignore my advice and go see said-film], the ending makes it worth it.

7. this.
