Mmmmmrrrrr. I slept so good, you guys! From 11 to 8 with only one waking-up, and I just went right back to sleep, and... oh man I feel great. :D

Today I am going to Backdoor Jesus' and helping decorate for a birthday party. \o/ Hawaiian themed! I'm so short, it's going to be awesome hanging streamers. I should get a pair of stilts!

Yesterday I totally cleaned the kitchen floor, swept and swiffered and everything, and now you can't tell. D: Perfection is fleeting. Although the house does look better in general right now, boxes rearranged and space maximized and things like that.

Minerva is desperately trying to get on my lap... and just knocked over a whole box of markers and colored pencils, and scared the crap out of herself. xD Cats are funny.

I spent a lot of time stumbling yesterday, so I think a link post is in order.

Today is Steak and Blowjob Day. Just to put that out there.

Bob Dylan tried to sneak into American Idol. Yeah, the only way I would actually watch that show is if someone talented managed to get on...

Zombie survival kit-- add this to your disaster preparedness kit, and you'll be ready for anything, including the living dead.

Richest man in England used the same escort service that Spitzer did. My favorite part of this is the "SPITZER SCANDAL" image. He looks like a monkey. I guess the Republicans deserve a monkey-face to make fun of, Bush has been around for eight years now.

For the first time, a transsexual TV character will be played by an actual transsexual person. I don't know about her decision to make her legal name Candis Cane-- seriously?-- but hey, that's awesome, and also daaaamn.

I was very sad when there weren't any new Steve, Don't Eat It!s... and thanks to stumble, I found the new last one! Don't eat the tree brain, Steve!

It's a rainbow... in a book! Maybe I'm a dork, but I think that's incredibly cute.

Top 10 depressing quotes from 1984. Hey, it can't all be handheld rainbows.

Barack Obama: Jedi? JESUS? Who knows! Seriously, extreme use of the glow effect...

Speaking of politics, Republicans are voting for Hillary to screw with the system. NOT COOL. I'm so sick of everything to do with politics, really, there isn't a single honest thing left about it. This might not be a new problem, but I don't have enough idealism left to ignore it now.

All of the water and air on Earth, gathered into spheres and compared to the planet for size. The water sphere is pretty~~~ no seriously though, that's not a lot of either one, and it's all dirty and messed up already. D:

South Korean protests are so much cooler than protests in the US. I like the first one best! And the pro-prostitution rally looks like an Anonymous gathering. >> The last one is pretty darn impressive, too.

Australia gets drunk, wakes up in North Atlantic, shares a smoke with New England and Portugal. xD


....wow, that didn't do a lot to clear out my tab bar because I have a lot of cookie and cake recipes sitting around in it. >> I am such a sucker for chocolate. Anyway: I promise a music post later today if Mediafire is working; they were down every time I tried yesterday.

As promised. :D

Of Montreal - Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)
Let’s have bizarre celebrations
Let's forget when forget what forget how
We’ll have bizarre celebrations
We’ll play Tristan and Isolde
But make sure I see white sails, sails
Let’s pretend we don’t exist
Let’s pretend we’re in Antarctica
Let’s pretend we don’t exist
Let’s pretend we’re in Antarctica


Mahogany - Neo-Plastic Boogie-Woogie
I can't find lyrics for this one anywhere, but it's so bright and fun, you should definitely try it out.


Cloud Cult - Story of the Grandson of Jesus
Today is a good day to flex the muscles of the weary
A miracle's a miracle even when it's ordinary
We will walk on the water even though it seems scary
If someone will show us the way
...
He said, "Do unto yourself as you do unto your neighbor
It's not an eye for an eye, it's a favor for a favor
And it's okay if this world had a billion saviors
'Cause there's so many things to be saved"


Vienna Teng - Recessional
In the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder, hair falling forward, mouth all askew.
Fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead: passengers missing, we're looking for you.
And she dreams through the noise, her weight against me, face pressed into the corduroy grooves.
Maybe it means nothing...


Beth Orton - Ooh Child
Someday yeah, we'll put it together and we'll get it all done
Someday when your head is much lighter
Someday yeah, we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday when the world is much brighter
Ooh child things are gonna get easier
Ooh child things will be brighter
Ooh child things are gonna get easier
Ooh child things will be brighter

I know I'm late to the party, but man, the original ending to I Am Legend is WAY better than the one it got. That just gave me the chills.

I realized that I basically have to rewrite all of something I was working on to make it at all decent. Kind of disheartening, but better to realize it now than after it's posted and I realize it's dreck, right?

There was a Scientology bomb scare.... I'm amused that the suitcase contained a Bible. Still, this isn't cool. Either some Anonymous aren't playing the game right, or this is a stunt to make Anonymous look bad... I like to believe the best of Anon, even though none of us is as evil as all of us.
Speaking of Anonymouse, I think this is an appropriate response to being Rickrolled.

I'm having a big feeling of personal fail today. Even though I got a surprise home visit from my probation officer, and she said "wow, you have a nice place!" and "your cats are so friendly!" xD

Wandering through Wikipedia is dangerous to one's health. I don't remember how I got here, but now I'm reading about accidental nuclear events (power excursions, or criticality accidents) and this is just enthralling despite myself. I've always had a problem with nightmares and radiation and bombs and this is another thing to add to the list... "La la la, transporting a big ball of plutonium, oh no I dropped some tungsten carbide on it! MY FACE IS MELTING"

On the other hand, now I totally want to use "criticality accident" as a title for something. Very likely something Eureka. xD

Quick, someone give me something happier to Wiki-wander through!

Today is pi day, at least for another 10 minutes. I can't make a pie, but I am in an all-consuming baking mindset right now. I'm planning on making chocolate chip merengue drops... but I forgot a baking sheet at Backdoor Jesus' / Baker's house. (It's less funny to know his name...)

I spent most of the day helping Allie and Baker put up decorations for her 20th birthday party. I also helped make two very efficient and very big batches of jello shots. This catered perfectly to my helpful and slightly obsessive frame of mind today and it was fun. :D

These cookies are going to take a long time. Butcher has ripped up the couch for the last time; I found double-sided tape and he's not going to get any joy from it now.

I'm making a new playlist. \o/ I love doing it, but I have a hard time deleting old ones... I should let them go, but I even packrat old playlists.

Okay. Playlist is long enough for stage 1 of cookies (stage two is in an hour, stage 3 is in three hours), mission is GO.

eta 12:50> Stage one of cookies accomplished. New project: sewing up and cat-proofing the couch.

eta 1:04> Catproof! Butcher looks sullen. I'm going to reward myself with KoL and then change the rat cage.

eta 1:50> bed. now. k,night.

Tomorrow I have a party to help with and attend. now: sleepsleepsleepsleep

(Do you ever do something for the lulz and then get seriously into it? I just went from "lol let's do something awfully inappropriate" to "oh, wait, I just spent way too much time doing this and it's pretty good.")
