America's Test Kitchen just did a low-fat cheesecake recently, but the one thing that they said to do was not to substitute the sugar in it, since in baking, sugar is considered to be a liquid, and Splenda is a solid in baking terms, so the texture ends up all wrong if you use Splenda. They ended up going with a mixture of low-fat cream cheese, yogurt cheese (drained yogurt) and cottage cheese, run through the food processer to get rid of any texture issues.
Whoa. Good myth.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Apparently epic battle scenes filled with mostly naked men crack me up.
Heh.

When the ads for 300 started coming out I wasn't aware it was based on a non-historic book so I was sitting there going WTF and accumulating anachronisms. Then I found out what the source was and sort of handwaved the whole thing (didn't go see it, but didn't get outraged at the inaccuracies). (And didn't they get a rhinocerous over there as well?)
And Raq, that's a lovely house (drools).

Yeah, well ... I think it was the over-the-top, We Are Manly Men! GRrrrrr! aspect that kept triggering my giggling.

I was sad that my shoe posts had to end (until I get to wear boots!) so I started a new set for all my toys! Here are my Mr. Sushi Rice plushes, which I love so much: [link]

Jilli, I tried sending you info about sources for short black jackets - not sure it got through.

move out and draw fire
I liked block teaching, despite the fact that I taught in several classrooms, so I was always worried I'd go to the wrong room. I don't think I could go back to 45 minutes.
Although I'd like to go back to teaching.
Mal seemed excited about his first day of school, and got to feel like an old pro with all the new kids showing up and sobbing and wailing for their mommies. Hopefully this trend will continue.
300 was giggle-icious. Seeing it in Greece was fun for a lot of reasons, mostly for the audience completely cracking up during the scene where Xerxes is behind Leonidas with both hand on L's shoulders.
I've been debating going as an Immortal from it for Halloween, mostly because I am too fat for any of the other costume ideas I like.

Hmmm, I didn't see anything. If you still have the info, would you please try sending it to gothiccharmschool (at) gmail? My webmail for the GCS site is not happy with my corporate firewall at the mo'.

This 300 talk reminds me about the vid Matt posted a link to in the movie thread after my comments about being overwhelmed by the testosterone funk of the movie: Matt the Bruins fan "Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape" Aug 26, 2007 10:31:21 am PDT
It is hilarious.

The status is NOT quo.
I don't think I could go back to 45 minutes.
Exactly how I felt. Honestly, it was a major con on my list when I was struggling with whether or not to change schools the year before last. Everything else about the school--for the most part--I love. But the schedule sucks donkey balls. Yeah, I said it.
