Daniel Radcliffe is a Tom Lehrer fan? I may have to fight Aims for him (even though he left off the tag, which is almost the best part of the whole song).
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sounds good, smonster!
Health~ma for Taz!
Daniel Radcliffe is very cute, but I think I've been about the silver foxes for too long...he does not look finished yet. Maybe he will become eligible under the Grenier Exemption...I don't know.
I'm definitely with erika in re the silver foxes. I've come to believe men really grow into their looks. George Clooney never appealed to me until about 5 years ago.
He has only gotten better-looking, but I thought Dr. Ross was hot, too.
Tucker was hot!
Some guys have got it going on pretty much their whole lives. Some guys (aka Jensen Ackles) get more manageable with age.
Easy-procedure and quick-recovery~ma to Taz, and ease to Tom and Nora, too.
Have a fabulous time, smonster!
I hope they settle things as much in your favor as possible, Seska. And frak their own convenience.

I agree. But I find that I appreciate the younger form purely aesthetically, apart from how attracted I am to a person. It's an observance that nods to the ballet and sculptors (Bernini's David comes to mind): the long bones of the limbs, the strong bones of the face that emerge from childish contours at adolescence, the slight accumulation of the musculature of an adult, but before the bulk that maturity adds. In motion, it's a coltish--or giraffesque--grace. There's an appeal removed from the sexual that's entirely different from the simple lusty interest for an older, more mature form.
Just me then?
Quick skippy/skimmy question: if you double a cake recipe, do you double the baking time? I'm making a carrot cake (from scratch, holy shit) for Tim's birthday, doubling the recipe, and baking it in a rectangular 9 x 12 pan (or whatever the exact dimensions are -- you know, the big rectangular pan).
The original recipe called for it to be baked in an 8-inch layer cake pan, for 25 minutes.
It seems like 50 minutes would be WAY too long for a double recipe, especially in a rectangular pan where the batter will be spread out.
Any advice? I was just going to start checking on it at 25 minutes and go from there.
(Also, I have never made a cake from scratch before. God help me.)
I would not double - I would probably add about 5-8 minutes and then start checking every few minutes.
You can do it, Steph!
