Finally. Regular Bread without recipes
Category: eating in

I am now able to confidently go in and make a completely whole wheat improvised bread with whatever without any recipes from scratch. And, more importantly eat the results without cringing or wishing I hadn't made the colossal mess. I know I said this already zillion moons back here: (e:tinypliny,53247) But that was banana bread. This is THE staple everyday bread bread.

I think that is progress.

Only, it's progress in the words of a frog in that arithmetic problem, you know, the one that lives in a slimy well and jumps up 4 steps to fall back 3.

And you can now cite tweets.

I am sorely tempted to include one in my thesis:

The kettle's just boiled.
Category: eating in

You know your tea addiction has gone a bit far when:

You put the kettle on and when it boils, you immediately refill and put it on again because you know you will finish the current cup before it finishes brewing the next one
You distinctly remember having asked your archenemy in a nightmare if they would like a cup of oolong (poisoned) or a cup of cardamom tea (also poisoned, what did you think?)
You bid on auctions for green tea from ebay.com's authentic chinese sellers because the blurry pixelated pic looked like that one tea you had once upon a time that you could never find in stores later.
You lose the bid because someone sniped it at 4:00AM and you are bitter all day.
You drink coffee and think, ugh this is vile. Only the whipped cream redeems this mess.
You drink close to 27 16 oz cups of tea a day.
You don't drink any regular water anymore, only tea
You alternate between 7-8 different kinds of tea and have teas to match the hour and mood of the day.
The promise of tea is enough to enable you to weather minuscule work storms
You are known as the office tea pusher and have induced at least 5 other officemates to drink more tea than they ever did their entire lives.
You buy a kettle exclusively for the office and it is used so much, it develops scales within a month.
Your desktop is tea-themed
Your recycling is 10% or more teabag wrappers.

SCOOOOOOORRRREEEEESSSS!
Any 5 and you are one.
Any 7? have you taken the teaddiction test lately?
Any 10? Hmm.. and how does that make you feel?
Any 12? Have you put the kettle on yet?

Any 13? Welcome to my world.

Finally, a balanced meal that took 1/2 hour after weeks of eating 3-4 minute meals.

Tarsem
Category: the odes

I used to hate that actress who is all teeth.. but not anymore. Tarsem has done it again. Made me want to actually see this movie.

That looks great... Disney Is going to be Pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone is Changing the story they Made Famous and it isn't Them... WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Well maybe they do have something to do with this... Well the old Disney would hate this... Think now that they own Pixar (yes many can make the claim all there movies are way better then disney Fair Tales).. They don't take them selves so seriously two examples are the Movie Enchanted.... That movie is great if you have never seen it.... And the Series (Not sure if they make it but it is on there net work and it is a different take on the Fairy Tales in real life relm)... Once upon a time... Or maybe it is all The Simpsons and Shrek bashing of Disney ?

There is another snow white movie that I haven't looked into yet called Snow White and the Huntsmen.......
