Mmm, cookies!

lance_sibleyTonight, the Scripting Languages instructor asked if he was going too slowly, too quickly or just right. When nobody complained, he proceeded to cover two whole chapters in tonight's lecture. Oy. I think my brain exploded. (He confirmed that the midterm is going to be this Monday, so I guess he wanted to get through all of the remaining material.)
Mostly, though, we learned about cookies, the object model, the event model, collections and dynamic HTML. I've had "C Is For Cookie" going through my head all evening as a result. As for the lab exercise, he kicked us out at 9:45, and I still wasn't quite finished - for some reason my webpage isn't storing the cookie it's supposed to be creating, so when I reload the page, it's blank. Argh.
I got home and, while preparing dinner, proceeded to have an incident that could only occur to me - I was thinking that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
james_nicoll might have experienced something like this, but there was no physical damage done to my body, so perhaps not. Anyway, I was holding a bag of frozen vegetables when it exploded.
Yeah. Exploded.
Okay, let me explain - when I took the bag out of the freezer, I could feel that there were a couple of clumps which were going to be too big to get out of the hole I'd cut in the top of the bag. I knew that I only had enough left for this one meal, so I could have just cut a bigger hole, but no - I decided to squeeze the clump of frozen veggies to try to break it apart. Instead of breaking apart, however, the entire bag broke apart, and veggies went everywhere. Fortunately, I was holding it over the sink (because it was dripping bits of ice from having been in the freezer), so only a couple of peas ended up on the floor. Also fortunately, the sink was clean, so I was able to rescue the veggies. Including the clump that refused to break.
So, not quite a Nicoll event - that would have been if one of the bits of cauliflower had flown up and taken out an eye - but this is why I spend as little time cooking as possible.
I was going to do a couple of loads of laundry tonight, but I don't feel up to it now. It can wait until tomorrow, even if it means that I have to wear my knee-high woolen socks that I bought a couple of kilt rentals ago.
