Doo-wee-doo

regndoftCalled in sick for work for the rest of the week, because I am feeling extraordinarily shitty. This means money will be scarce in February, probably... then again I'll be studying a course full-time next term so I will actually receive an allowance to even things out.
Did I forget to mention that? Apart from Ancient Greek, I'll be taking a course in "Life and Culture in Antiquity" and I'm really looking forward to it. :D
... I am not looking forward to the exam on Friday so much. I have reached the point where I have so many aspects floating around in my head I didn't recognise a verb in present middle indicative (that's very very basic stuff, for those who never got into linguistics).
Anyway, yesterday, I spent eight hours making a gingerbread house.
More accurately,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stalkerbunny, Radagasting and I spent eight hours in my kitchen making a gingerbread TARDIS.
We got started around twelve o'clock. I e when it was still light outside (I am not in any pictures. It is hard to be when you're trying to do important documentation).
How many Nimons have you seen today?"
Putting the thing together was harder work than one might've thought, as the gingerbread cookie dough (based on my grandmother's secret recipe) was softer even when baked than cookies usually are.
Using a wine bottle as support, we unintentionally made the perfect metaphor for the series itself.
We wondered if this is what the sepcial effects department in the classic series felt like.
Redoing the frosting...
Ta-daa!
Eight hours is a bit long, but it should be pointed out that we went into this project with not much more than enthusiasm and cookie dough, so I think that it worked out all right. Also, we had to make an emergency run to the supermarket and eat dinner as well.
Overall, a hard day's work well paid off!

Except we watched that serial last time we got together all three of us (I own it, actually, because of DVD boxsets) and it's pretty much impossible for us to avoid quoting that clip ever since, so. It seemed funny at the time?
