my exciting life

so yeah. not much going on. which would be why i haven't posted in a month. i tried to post something the other day, but it wouldn't go, which made me mad, cuz it was pretty long. but oh well. it was just a dumb story about our golf outing this past weekend. so let's see. i've beenreally in to baking homemade bread and my mom got me a panera bread cookbook, so i've been trying some bread recipes from there. the first ones turned out pretty good, but now i'm attempting to make sourdough bread, which is a more complicated, time consuming recipe. so i made the starter last week and tried to make a batch of bread yesterday, but no success. it was very dense. i'm not quite sure what was wrong. you are supposed to measure by weight, and i have a scale, but when i measure the weight it is totally off of what the recipe says for the cup measurement. so i've been kind of compromising between the 2. probably a bad idea. and i'm not quite sure what kind of whole wheat flour i bought, but i don't think it's right. unfortunately it was the only stuff i could find at the commissarry (base grocery store). so who knows. maybe i'll try another batch later today or towmorrow. we'll see. i'm kind of discouraged about it right now.
last night i kept having the most bizarre dreams. it was quite annoying. it was sort of like i was reliving my whole day yesterday. so i ended up not sleeping too well (not that my day was bad, the dreams were just keeping me from sleeping really well) and i ended up sleeping until 10:30. holy crap. i hate sleeping that late. it messes up the whole day. not that i have anything pertinent to do. but still.
i applied for a few jobs last week, so hopefully i hear somtehing about those soon. i'm getting very bored around the house and need something to do. i don't let myself go out very often, because i always spend too much money. but anyways. i should get off the computer and go do something a little more productive.

golf

so we went golfing today. i was really quite bad. i had like maybe 5 decent shots. the other like 70 shots were horrible. obviously. it was only a 9 hole course. so 70 shots is not so good. actually i don't think it was quite that bad, but still. i just could not hit decently. on like half the holes, i would get it up to the green in like 2 shots, but then it took me like 5 putts to get in. i am not good at putting. i am not good with irons. or the sand wedge. for some reason, i had some great shots with my pitching wedge and some decent drives. but everything else was horrible. but anyways. we went with nick and kristen (adam's friends from purdue) and when we were done, nick realized he lost his car key. i guess he had it in his pocket, but at some point on the course, took his wallet out to put in his golf bag, and the key must have fallen out. unfortunately it's his only car key - he was only given one key when he got the car. and his house keys and kristen's car keys and purse were locked in his car. so we drove over (there are roads everywhere around this course - you have to cross a road after almost every hole) to a couple of the holes where he thought it might have been, and we looked around, but no success. so we were on the air force base so we went to the main entrance to see if they could call base security to open nick's car, but they won't do it becasue of liablility issues. so that sucked. so we ended up driving back to nick's apartment because he had the keyless entry remote in his apartment. but wait - the apt keys were locked in the car. but luckily nick lives on the 2nd floor and has a deck and just happens to leave his patio door unlocked. so adam gave nick a boost up to the deck - which was really quite high - and somehow nick climbed up and got in to his apt and got his remote. so then we drove back to the base and got their keys and stuff out of the car and then drove them back to nick's place. so we spent like an hour running around trying to find a key and figuring out what to do about it. quite an interesting night. needless to say, nick is quite perturbed (however you spell that). all in all i think our golf outing took about 4 hours - about twice as long as it should...


yes, my life is really thrilling
