Ketamine sounds intense and unpleasant. I think I first heard of it on House.
I can't imagine what the Hunger Games movies are going to be like. And I assume they're doing all three, right?
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it is used as horse tranq, yeah. Basically it takes your brain completely offline. The anesthesiologist warned me "this is going to feel a little weird". Understatement of the fucking YEAR - I spent my entire c-section having a surreal out of body experience, babbling incoherently the whole time. Coming down from it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had. Ugh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I only know about it because of the Placebo song of the same name. Apparently it comes on very strong.
In other horrible news, a retired British woman was stabbed to death and beheaded on the Spanish island of Tenerife, by an apparently crazy Bulgarian. Totes random and ghastly.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Quester, insent. Am now feeling like one of the dealers in Balmer, offering testers so you'll know how good the shit is.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I wanna talk about drugs. Heroin! No, not heroin. Speed! No, not speed. Hashish! No, not even hashish. Horse tranquilizers? Not horse tranquilizers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't get much ketamine. Certainly not enough to feel altered. Definitely NOT ENOUGH TO CURE MY HEADACHE. But I have circled the rim of the K-Hole.

Random question: what sort of easy/delicious thing can I do with coconut milk? Especially "using ingredients I might already have" (ie, not make a curry). I bought some to make the black sticky rice dessert (NOM), but it only used about 1/3 of a can each time I made it (last night and tonight). Even if I make more with the last bit (ran out of rice), I figure in the future I might end up with leftover coconut milk.

Pina coladas!
I've always wanted to try the coconut milk breads I've heard of. Google that?
My nephew turned 4 today. Got to call and wish him a happy birthday. Probably the longest conversation I've managed to have with him on the phone. He LOVES birthdays! He's FOUR.
His speech has radically improved even in the past month. I don't know if he's getting therapy or if actually being able to hear has triggered something.

Because books.
My mom made this African coconut bread with her kids at school, and everyone loved it. You'd need actual shredded coconut, too, though.
I need to try it. She was a little freaked out by the "bake in a moderate oven" directions, and I'm not sure how long it took, but it came out really well. All the kids loved it.
