Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

No three-day weekend here. We don't have anything much planned, though at some point I think we'll get out to see The Illusionist (new movie by the director of The Triplets of Belleville ). Doing taxes and going through our wedding photos to decide which ones to get copies of.

Also, I want to finally figure out how to get my external hard drive to show up as the E drive again, and not as the F drive, as it's been doing lately. A small thing, but since I have iTunes pointed to the E drive for a ton of my music, it's actually really annoying.

No three-day weekend, but since I work at home with the new version of my job, it's not a lot of difference.

Weekend: more cleaning and sorting at Dad's house, and more writing. Maybe I'll be zany and go to a thrift store on Sunday or something.

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

The tastiest fizzy thing so far is half carbonated water, half plum juice. I don't much like the syrups. But the fizzy watered down juice is delicious. Hopefully this will help with my Izze problem.

Why can't you fizz up anything other than water? I really want to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys are funny with your fancy names for time off school. Here, next week is February Vacation, as is good and right.

I have Monday off, and plans to go skating tomorrow, and maybe a party Sunday.

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

The other day I posted a link on how to fizz up fruit.

I think it's that sugar getting into the carbonation nozzle would be a bad thing.

Tomorrow I'm...sitting at home with the baby while DH takes Dylan to a birthday party. Sunday, no idea. Monday...sitting at home with the baby while DH takes Dylan to Bounce U. MY EXCITING LIFE, LET ME SHOW YOU IT.

Naw, a custom-made thingie: The CO2inator

In an effort to make fruit fun for the kids, I built a carbon dioxide injector from parts in my garage with the purpose of carbonating whole fruit! With a common house water filter housing, a 16 Oz paintball CO2 canister, an old gas regulator, and some miscellaneous valves and fittings, I was able to bring this fizz fruit apparatus to life, and the kids love the results.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

According to some cooking show I recently saw, you can put all kinds of things in whipped cream chargers, like cake batter and I know there were weirder examples but I don't remember exactly but I think salmon mousse might have been one? I don't know if that would make juice fizzy or foamy or anything, but someone on the internet has probably tried it.
