OK, really not motivated to put on fifteen million layers and walk to the pool. But I will.

I'm trying to find the best red velvet recipe I can. Sigh.

And I have a burning question I NEED NEED NEED an answer to. But it would be rude to ask it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Two days down, and two to go for work. I'm really not into work this week. (It doesn't help that G took this week off in a "use it or lose it" situation)

Try smitten kitchen.

I have hers, but it calls for a huge amount of cocoa which is not the point of red velvet. It's the moist tangy cakey bits.

This one [link] seems right but the color is wrong. And I wonder about cook's country's: [link]

I think I might be overthinking this.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I do not know what I would call my partner. I call My Friend Maria "My Friend Maria most of the time, but I think people think she is my "partner" until I tell them about her husband and kids. I call my cat "My Cat", not Miss Bobo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh dear god. Looks like someone was trying to make the entry deadline for this year's Darwin Awards....

Tree Surfer In California Slams Into Car, Injures Head (VIDEO)

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — Authorities say a man in Southern California riding a Christmas tree being dragged behind an SUV slammed into a parked car and was hospitalized with head injuries.

Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the 18-year-old and another teenager were Christmas tree surfing, a seasonal Internet fad.

Capt. Greg McKeown says the car was going about 25 mph Sunday night when the female driver took a corner and the tree veered wide and crashed.

Amormino says the driver fled. Two SUV passengers and the other tree surfer told deputies they didn't know the girl.

Authorities did not release any names. The injured man was hospitalized with moderate head injuries. Amormino says he is expected to survive.

He warned against tree surfing, calling it a serious traffic violation.

Apparently, yes, we are having DNS problems. I still don't understand why I can get here, but please, no one take it away.
