Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought this looked pretty good: [link]

I just looked at my phone and found a voicemail from my mother asking if I want to go to some exhibit with them, in lieu of family dinner. Well, not really. Because I was planning on not leaving the house much tomorrow! Which seems like not a good reason. Ah well. I'll go, and I'll like it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ooh, that does look good. It may be more ambitious than I am looking for this weekend, but I will definitely save it.

Cupcakes! Poppyseeds! YUm

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Lemon Cupcakes:

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Preheat oven to 350. Line 12-muffin tin.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In separate bowl, combine other ingredients. Pour dry into wet and mix until smooth. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full, bake for 17-20 minutes.

Lemon Frosting 1/4 cup nonhydrogenated soy margarine, softened 1/4 cup soy milk 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cups confectioners sugar, sifted

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

Dilbert writer shows he's an ass:

I realize I might take some heat for lumping women, children and the mentally handicapped in the same group. So I want to be perfectly clear. I'm not saying women are similar to either group. I'm saying that a man's best strategy for dealing with each group is disturbingly similar.

Wow.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the folks commenting on his site seems to think this is a joke. I'm not sure.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I've seen some other excerpts. It's not pretty.

Yeah, I saw some more of it earlier, and just....couldn't.

I've seen the whole thing, and it is really ugly. Also makes me wonder if he's on drugs.

Okay, Angry Birds fans: is this chart accurate? [link]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

the folks commenting on his site seems to think this is a joke.

I'm honestly not sure how that would make any difference.
