That seems less than useful, sumi, especially if you're paying the electrical bill. I hope your new place has a more sensible setup.

Have you ever made a red velvet lamb cake, Steph? Because I would so laugh.

Since apparently I've been documenting my food for quite some time -- yes, I did, in 2008: [link] (This post brought to you by the wonders of iPhoto.)

yes, I did, in 2008

Oh my gosh, that's hilarious!

Blood of the lamb, indeed.

Dangit! My fading chest cold has been replaced by a raging head cold. Like, buckets of snot and audible congestion. The worst part: I have a date tomorrow night. Like, 4th date, at my house, DVD and sexytimes kinda dates, and head cold is about as non sexy as I get. (Ok, and it would be super rude to pass that on to someone who literally cannot work with any kind of congestion, so that's an issue.) Booo!!!! It started yesterday so I went home sick and took today off to sleep and load up on Vit C (and vit D since it was sunny out, I spent a good bit of time reading outside) and drink insane amounts of gypsy cold care tea with honey and lemon but it doesn't seem to be budging. Whaaaaaa!

eta: second attempted nasal irrigation of the day=fail. I kept squeezing the bottle and it just. wouldn't. go. Ugh.

Erin, I was about to be sad for you until I saw sexy times fourth date! Go girl! Where did you find this one? Is he am okcupid or something else?

I had a somewhat awkward evening--hung out with the girl I met at karaoke on Wednesday. We made up a bit that night, and hung out Thursday night also. And then I hung out tonight with her and her friends. Except (a) her friends are babies, who live with people who are still in college!?! And (b) I found out she is NOT 25 like she said....she mentioned an upcoming birthday in a month, and in my head I'm all "ooh, 26 is closer to late 20s that wouldn't be QUITE as bad?" Except she's actually TWENTY FOUR. And was claiming 25 because its in a month. Omg. She's very cute and nice but I'm not sure I can deal.

This is actually the adorable OKC pilot. I'm afraid I may have to be noble and pass on sexyimes in favor of not passing on the ick and that's what's really pissing me off. I could be snotty for weeks if it were just work, home, friends, and cats. But sexytimes? I don't think he has a mucus fetish.

This is actually the adorable OKC pilot.

Go you! He seemed wonderful and if he's made it to a fourth date, clearly that's true. Sorry you have to pass on the sexytimes date tomorrow but snot really is more of an established relationship thing. Get better and reschedule!

A co-worker I'm friends with on Facebook asked me what "LGBT" meant. I knew she was kinda clueless, but that surprised me.

I was listening to a Nerdist podcast with Nathan Fillion from a couple years ago, and he asked what it was too.

granted, I went to a barefoot, hacky sack, women's hairy armpits kind of college, but I knew LGBT no later than 1987.
