Such a discovery.

I sit on my bed inadvertently listening to Ben Folds as I update (or rather, completely revamp) my long-ignored Netflix queue.  You're welcome, Netflix Gods, it is my pleasure to finally return those movies I have been hoarding since two summers ago.  The Internet is delivering to me recipes of hopefully delicious holiday desserts to the foodie in me as I simultaneously hop back and forth between Wikipedia and my Human Biology grades.  Ah week 10, how I have missed you.  Though, unlike every other RIT student, I am not procrastinating at the moment.  I really have nothing to do.  Mostly because I have one class tomorrow and the only preparation it calls for is to bring my textbook to slam my head against for 110 minutes straight.  At least it's the last class.  More like thank god it's the last class.

As the title suggests, I have made an epic discovery.  At least it's epic in my mind. While I have known that my favorite television past time (Bones, of course! And no, I don't just like it for Agent Booth thankyouverymuch.  I'm more of a Hodgins girl anyway) is based off of the life and work of real-life forensic anthropologist, Kathy Reichs, it has never dawned on me that I might actually like her novels.  Well, it finally has. And I have the first two books of her fourteen-book series en route to my apartment this very instant. Assuming Amazon is on top things. Which I'm sure they are. So I am quite excited. Because remember my previous post? The one where I mentioned that I need to find things to do to avoid driving myself crazy? Yeah, this might help.

In other news, I'm thinking about reaching back into my German roots to make some of these soon:

Lebkuchen.  It'll bring me back to my Kaffeestunde days of high school. Also perfect for the holidays, which I am ramping up for! Broke college student about to embark on an unpaid internship... yet I remain excited for the most consumerist-driven time of year. But not for that consumerism bit. Just all the warmth, spices, and happiness that comes along with it. Yes, I am an optimist. And I'm one of those psychos who really loves this time of year. Halloween's over and I am READY. Bring it on, Holiday Season!
