Monkeys and keyboards aside, one Random + CSS still doesn't make poop.

Did I mention that the locals turned the bridge foundation for the closest mine into a community center/amphitheater of sorts? They had a concert earlier tonight. It was too far away for me to hear very well, but I left the windows open anyway.

True Blood the tv series = silly/messy crack. I'm sending the first two episodes to whoever I can get to hold still. I don't take it seriously (which is good, because it doesn't take itself seriously) and though I (seriously) hate Sookie's brother the series might become something I follow for a while.

I picked up a huge piece of salmon from Aldi's (the local ubercheap food store), baked it with some old bay & seasoning salt, and . . . still found it utterly & astoundingly bland. I guess that's what you get at $6 for 1.5 pounds. I ate maybe a third of the thing and gave up--and for someone who likes seafood this much, that's damned sad.

So tonight I had a big lump of salmon in the fridge and nothing but a general ideal to aim it at. Bland salmon sucks. I wanted it to be flavorful, heavier, more savory, less . . . plain.

Yeah, you can guess where this was going. A short trip to the grocery store later and lookie! I have something close to a variant on a soupy theme normal recipe!

The more I look at my excel spreadsheet for NYAF stock, the more I go all whiny and avoidant. I don't wanna sew, even with the machine. I also compulsively prowl ebay. It's like porn for prospective retailers. I might need intervention.

But as long as I'm still being productive it isn't a problem, right?

( My productivity, let me show it to you. )

BTW: Anyone have any suggestions for these little bell tassel thingies? I've got a bunch and not many ideas. There's only so many people who'd want 'em as earrings . . . I think. They're definitely funnily-shaped for cowry fall or belt additions.




(ohshit it's 3am)

Pics are coming! The hangover, thankfully, is gone.


Yeah, some'll go up here and some'll prolly get locked somewhere and . . . Okay, so it's too early and I might need hydrated more. :D

It's been pretty chilly here, and the creek half-froze. Here's to a panoramic video without having Kabuki try to drag me away.


Boo, Photobucket! Embedding isn't working. :( Here's the link anyway.

More pics of neat frozen things are going up @ my deviantart acct. :D


In other news, the 4k strong shota community at Lj might be going up as the next incarnation of Strikethrough. I should start link-collecting and making popcorn now.
