How is everyone doing? I've been working, taking care of the boy and raging at American politics. There is so, so much to rage at.

At least my state isn't gay marriage stupid anymore. Who wants to swing by and get hitched?


Sorry for being so absent.

Hey guys, this is a general recipe request. I need to expand my cooking repertoire and figured I'd come to you guys on what you like/know/make often, so.

Only requirements are:
No onions
No mushrooms
Preferably under $20 to make
Can feed a family of four

And if I feel ambitious enough, maybe I'll keep a log of how each one goes. With pictures and stuff. Because that's how I roll or something.


I just need a goddamn distraction from life, really

Life stop bludgeoning me in the face


( To do this week (WIP) )

I have a very important request.

As part of our company's new Digital First push, they're really wanting us to use Twitter and such. They've started a sort of competition amongst the newsrooms that whoever gets the largest percentage increase of followers on Twitter gets a $2000 bonus to spread amongst their news staff. Obviously, this is something I want.

Where you guys come in is here. Can you please please please follow my Twitter and The Dispatch's Twitter? And can you pass this along to your friends and ask, as well? I believe they tally everything at the end of the month but I'm not certain exactly when, in the case you want to defriend them afterwards.

I really appreciate anything you guys can do to help my paper out.

I'm sorry.

One of these days I'll upload the pictures from the camera. I need to stop taking stuff with my cellphone because a) I can't upload those and b) they look like garbage anyway.

--it just occurred to me that I'm like three weeks behind in Merlin.

I should feel worse about that than I do :|

Finally finished watching Sherlock.

I dunno if it's the jacket or what, but I will forever associate Watson with Sam Tyler because of their gait and haircut, especially from behind.

Sherlock's voice reminds me of someone, but I can't remember who. It is lovely and deep, though. And he has such interesting eyes.

Mycroft is yummy.


yay I can finally stop avoiding spoilers

I feel in desperate need of a change. Nothing drastically life-shattering, just ... different. I want to get my hair permed again as part of it, but I also just want ... different clothes, something new, something pretty. I don't hold any beliefs that it'll make me feel overall better or solve what's bothering me, but I've been this for so long and I'm feeling very tired of it. Not who I am in general, but just ... I don't know how to explain it. It doesn't help I'm very disappointed in myself for not having lost weight yet.

So I want a change. I've been looking at dress patterns even though I can't really sew, but it's cheaper than buying a pre-made dress and I can at least pick out the fabric. We'll see if anything comes of it. I'd love to just go shopping and get a new wardrobe but that's not feasible in any sense of the word.

This week has really fucking sucked.


In other news we have a kitten. Her name is Freija.


( She likes to sleep on Cecil )


[Edit] Also No Ordinary Family is awesome. I want math powers.
