Man. I keep clicking and not posting. One of the things wrong with this laptop is the left click button.

Now all I have to do is learn the other half of obsessing about buying things, which is, not to keep obsessively checking the deals after I've made my purchase. The only thing that can come from that is woe.

Fast, Cheap and Out of Control which has Naked Fuckin' Mole Rats and robots, lion tamers and topiary.

Weeeeellll. Is that cooler than From a Whisper to a Scream: A living history of Irish music , which is really, really cool.

But, yeah. Naked Mole Rats are pretty cool.

My new project: a documentary about a Naked Mole Rat Irish folk band. Done entirely in robotic topiary and narrated by Martin Scorsese.

In fact, I cook it with less water so it's more oat-y an textured.

I use the full amount of water, but cook it a little longer so the end result is thicker. I like it to be able to hold up a spoon.

Porridge in general I have with a little butter and salt, sometimes cream instead, sometimes plain, very rarely with something sweet.

And real maple syrup has fewer calories and more minerals than honey.

Finally, fat is not the enemy.

What's the Polish half going to post about?

It's probably not a good sign that, when I brought my car in for service this morning, they started adding up the cost of repairs and then asked me if I'd considered buying a new car, right?

Oh, and since billytea's antennae shot up when I mentioned Naked Mole Rats, I should note that today is Platypus Day on the Disney Channel.

Happy Platypus Day, billytea!

Steel cut oats simmering on the stove. I went the overinvolved CI way, including toasting the grains beforehand. I love oats in all its forms, but I really really like steel cut. I wish it weren't so time-consuming to make. But I'm making plenty of it, so I will be able to reheat a few servings.

Watching Ong Bak 2. I'm not entirely clear on whether or not there is a plot, but I'm not overly bothered.
