I have been totally bogged down with Ulysses this past week. I have barely even cracked the book, and have made no progress to speak of. I'm a little annoyed at myself for this. I mean, it's a long and difficult book and therefore it takes a long time to read. It's understandable for me to get a little tired of it every once in a while, but just not reading is not the solution! I want to go on to read other things, but not until I finish this, so I need to read it rather than just sitting around waiting for it to finish itself! Plus, I'm so close... Just a few more chapters, including a couple of my favorites, "Ithaca" and "Penelope." The trouble is that in between me and those chapters that I love stands "Circe." The reason that I haven't read much lately is that I've been too busy cowering in fear of "Circe!" It is by far the most challenging episode in the book, and on top of that it's over a hundred pages long. So I'm intimidated by it. But that's no excuse. I must forge ahead!

Oh, and I seem to have stopped recording the things that I cook. I just never remembered to do it, so I guess I'll let it go...
