I did plenty. Spent all the moneys. But got lots for the money.

I would like ita's cake in a bowl, now, thx.

Connie, if your parents do not want the cassoulet, I would eat it! Nom, cassoulet.

ita, did you use self-rising flour? Is it necessary? Or could I just use all-purpose flour?

Propaganda posters urge you to keep calm and shoot Nazi dinosaurs

When Hitler's dino-hordes storm Normandy, will you have the wherewithal to beat them back? Allied propaganda posters from a lizard-filled WWII urge you to take arms against these Jurassic Nazis, while Axis posters tout raptors as the strength of Germany.

These propaganda posters are actually promotions for the video game Dino D-Day, which finally gets its release on Steam next month. So you can enjoy hunting Nazi dinosaurs from the comfort of your living room.

This recruiting poster cracked me up: [link]

Hil, call the local police if there is a non emergency number. If it's makin yr walls shake, it's almost certainly in violation of any local noise ordinances.

Racing commenced at two tracks in Japan: proceeds to go to tsunami/quake victims.

I used 1 tsp of baking powder. Rose just fine. It's a decent, uninspiring chocolate cake (I halved the sugar). I suspect that if I'd had Nutella I'd snarfing this down and making another. As it is, I'm happy with it, and you can't beat the cleanup.

I have gone to Pilates and brunch and then the DH made me watch the first two eps of Spartacus, which he started watching while I was out the other night and wanted me to catch up. Blood and fucking seem to be the major themes so far.

Whoot. Surround sound is functional! I still have to find two other long screws, because the ones that came with the fixture are insufficient, and I don't want to use only two out of the four since there's a good deal of pressure on the panel. And the SO still needs to mount the last speaker, which I currently have wired directly in. But it's working, and it sounds badass!

Now I am starving, because I just now realized that in addition to missing the tea, I also missed lunch. All you can eat corned beef and cabbage? Hm.

My allergies have been so bad I had to bail on last nights plans (and fell apart cuz I felt so crappy and useless) and had to bail on this mornings ride. Lame!

I did make it to yoga and Bob made beer can chicken and I made sides including super indulgent smashed taters with cream and butter. Yum. Now maybe watch the Social Network maybe?

Nom. Sounds good.

Where did I put my phone? I had it earlier today when I was making hotel reservations.
