Eyes and late night phone calls.

I KNOW, i KNOW. I have to constantly remind myself. Lucky for you I have Nathan Wall paper from the phone pic and thus have reminders throughout the day.

I saw the most adorable furry pink batwings. TEMPTING.

Silence means security silence means approval

I shook hands with Dick Cheney many a moon ago.

This does bring to mind a TMBG song.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think so -- I need to check my mail.

But furry pink batwings sound like a wise investment. Where are they for sale?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have a sudden craving for black bean soup. Anyone have a good, easy, quick recipe???

Chimps either selfish or stupid, scientists say.

Oh -- speaking of recipes, does anyone have a good tomato sauce recipe (for pasta) that doesn't involve bacon? My good one turns out to be quite dependent on the pigflesh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

1. Open can of black beans.

2. Pour some straight into a saucepan; take a wooden spoon and smush the rest (still in the can so you don't have to dirty an extra bowl) into a beany paste, dump into the saucepan.

3. Add chopped onions or dried onion flakes if you're lazy, cilantro if you're into that sort of thing, a pinch or two of chili powder, and a tiny drab of sherry.

4. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

5. Top with sour cream or super-tangy plain yogurt or whatnot.

6. Consume.

It's not great black bean soup, but it's fast, relatively un-effortful (except for the beans-in-the-can smooshing, which can be therapeutic if you've had a crap day), and perfectly adequate.

Yep. They were very cute. I didn't invest in them, but I wanted them desperately.

I need a costume for school. I think I should go as Miss Alanieus and just put a random collection of crap on a cape and a pageant ribbon

hip deep in pie

I fell in love with a pair of purple velvet and satin high heel pointy toes slides today. I would own them now, but I haven't worn high heels since high school, and all scenarios where I imagined myself wearing them ended in the ER.
