Did someone say pie? Yum.
I'm making Mr. Jane Almond Cherry Cream Pie for V-Day. He has to work until 3 am. He gets treats. Sucks for both of us, but at least I get to be home by 8.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

I'm getting the pig!
I'm just a slacker who could have done better, I was told I could do better, but I sat back and now the temp, hired after me*, has my job.
Well, shit. I'm sorry. It's great that you can see it for what it's worth, though.
Almond Cherry Cream Pie
Oh my. That sounds so tasty. Is it something you created on your own?
Oh, and Related was good tonight. Not as good as Grey's but still quite good.

Heavens no. I couldn't create something to save my life. However. Yummy, and easy. Pie crust with chopped almonds. Condensed milk whipped with lemon juice, almond extract and whipped cream. Then take a can of cherries drain the juice and thicken with corn starch, sugar and some red dye for the pretty on top.
Hour tops, but yummy and pretty.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So not doing my homework. Why? Because I suck!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm watching pairs skating.
I wish it were "The Cutting Edge". God this music sucks.

Pie crust is baking, filling is chilling. All I have to do now is hide it from Mr. Jane until I leave for work tomorrow. It's 40-someodd outside. Do we think I can hide it in the car until tomorrow?

Dorothy Hamill skated to the score for Erroll Flynn's "The Seahawk." Now that's a cool musical choice. (Erich Korngold, I think, without referencing.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
One of the clients at the group home I am currently working at is unable to speak, but signs with some proficiency. Which is to say, we have been told that she knows a couple thousand signs. One of the challenges with communicating with her is that she does not make the signs any more correctly than the semi-verbal lady in the house speaks correctly. Which is to say, if you know what they are talking about, you might be able to figure out what word they are signing or saying.
To help foster communication, staff have been asked to learn 150+ signs that TPTB believe she uses most frequently. We are going to be tested. They are not going to test us in recognizing the signs as she makes them, enabling us to understand her. At this point I would like to emphasize the point that she hears within normal parameters, and understands when others speak to her. We are going to be required to demonstrate the signs that we have learned. We have been given photo-copies of pages from a book on signing. Those copies were made available to us last week, but were not terribly useful because we will not be needing to learn all the signs in these pages. The list of the signs that we will be tested on was made available to us yesterday. If I am not mistaken, we will be tested at the monthly staff meeting, which is going to be on the 23rd. This leaves us 10 days to learn 150+ signs.
A number of the diagrams in these copied pages look different from the video clips I found from the Michigan State University Communications Laboratory.
