Twisting her fingers doesn't sound hot...but them again "twisting" her nipples sounds weird too. Unless it was BDSM erotica.

I am not going to be attending the International Ms Leather contest this year, since I will have just started a new job. Ah well.

Tomorrow i have meetings all day and then a party I got myself invited to solely on the basis that it will have straight guys and I feel bad I don't know any here to introduce my roommate to. She's coming to the party too. And then Saturday dinner with a friend and then an okcupid date (we shall see) and then one more week of work and I head to Mexico!! (Maria, wanna come to Mexico?)

Why did I take so long to start watching Big Bang Theory? Sad thing, I see a little bit of myself in each of the guys.

Unless it was BDSM erotica.

Yep. I love my copy editing jobs. My first one for this company was M/M romance.

And they say us theater folks have an interesting job.

Oh! For once I am super impressed by zappos! The couple other times I've ordered from them it seemed to take forever to be delivered. But lo and behold, I ordered shoes yesterday and got them today!! And they are super cute--dark purple patent kitten heel Mary Janes. I kinda want all the colors now! Except purple suede, because those looked silly.

Loved M*A*S*H. Still do, for that matter.

Also love the bacon toffee chocolate cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting that I made tonight. And, for those on FB who wanted the recipe, I posted the link there, but here it is again: [link]

I've made them a few times and they always turn out great.

This weekend is my annual trek to visit friends in Des Moines and attend the Baconfest (http://www.blueribbonbaconfestival.com/). Cannot wait. This week has been sucktastic and I need a fun weekend with some of my favorite people in the world.

I had a mad crush on Hawkeye...

That's ok. He's man enough for us to share.

IOweirdN, tonight one of the individuals was singing in the bathtub. The lyrics were "Bowm chika bowm bowm" over and over. I'm almost completely certain the person has no idea what that means.

Hawkeye wasn't enough man to share, there would have been no MASH!

BACONFEST?! OMG, WANT.

Speaking of Big Bang Theory. Did anyone see the closing credits splash screen this week? God bless DVR and pause. Here is what the 1 second splash screen said:

Chuck Lorre Productions, #378

I do not interact with Facebook, Twitter or any of the other social networking platforms. My reasoning is simple. Why in the world would I want to share my private thoughts and feelings with the world at large? What good could possibly come from me having a convenient outlet to express myself to millions of people? The more likely outcome is that in a misguided attempt to be funny or cute, I'd say something stupid and wind up getting publicly raked over the proverbial coals. Which is why I think the wiser path is to keep my opinions to myself. For example, if I were to feel moral outrage over an organization riddled with peeophiles expressing their moral outrage over contraception, I certainly wouldn't tweet about it. And the photographs I've taken of myself wearing nothing but oven mitts and a tiara will never be shared on a Facebook page.

BACONFEST?! OMG, WANT.

Oh, yeah. My friends and I started going 3 years ago. That year, they sold out 600 tickets in one day. Last year, they changed venues so they could allow in 1200 people. Sold out in 4 hours. They changed venues again this year (to the state fairgrounds!) so they could accomodate 4000 people. Sold out in 30 minutes.

It's a crazy day of a TON of bacon and silliness. Restaurants have booths with bacon appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. There are local, organic farms with bacon samples. There are booze companies with bacon bloody mary's and other cocktails.

By the end of the day, you have consumed a metric ton of bacon and are retaining so much water due to the salt, you won't pee for about 12 hours. Totally worth it.
