Throughout most of the winter and into the early spring, we've been watching Legend of the Seeker. A Sam Raimi production that lasted all of two seasons, I never watched its original run (Laura had, though).

I've loved it from the get-go. Each episode is the best D&D adventure ever.

Remembering Jean-Paul Belmondo, an Accidental Revolutionary of the French New Wave
The actor expected to have a career on the stage. Instead, with his starring role in Jean-Luc Godard’s “Breathless,” he became an icon of a cinema to which he didn’t belong.

In my effort to remain hopeful with humanity, I find it a challenge when witnessing someone who exits the office bathroom without washing their hands.

Be better, people.

Jesus passes out snacks and refreshments.

Bartholomew hesitantly eats a lot.

Jesus says that the snacks and refreshments are actually his body and blood.

Judas asks how that is possible.

Discussion follows.

I feel like my baguette process from beginning to end is solidified.

The road to this point started, oh, many, many years ago. But, I've been at it with diligence since last fall.

And, here I am, happy as hell.
