Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

We do! Plus, that girl is raising money for charity, and she's like eleven or something!

People. Don't be gross.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

the girl who cooks

Or the girl who's an entrepreneur and donates money to charity. Writing in to complain about "the girl who cooks" is reductive, stupid person.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Clearly, creating anything edible while female is Setting The Movement Back.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm all conflicted now. I need to go create something edible in order to create more STEM. WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT?

Anyway, COOKING IS SCIENCE! Just ask Alton Brown.

I have wine. It's also very hot. We'll see what the result of *this* experiment is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fortunately, it is too hot for me to create anything edible right now. My status as a feminist is saved!

I just said to my computer "Oh, honey, it is NOT like Naboo out there"

Heh. When my nephew first saw my "Baking is science for hungry people" apron he said no it wasn't because with baking you know how it will turn out. That led to a nice discussion about repeatable experiments.

I love that apron!

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

I have that apron, too! My aunt got it for me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I just showed the kids Cake Wrecks, and Dillo was like, "You have to show this to your Buffista friends!" I was like, I think they know.

Awww, Dillo. He's got our backs.

Ho ho, I don't know? The same place I find the willpower not to fling what I'm carrying at your faces and run screaming from the elevator? Because the other options are things like unemployability and death?

And prison. That's a valid reason I sometimes don't do more than wish to murder people.

I have wine. It's also very hot. We'll see what the result of *this* experiment is.

In my super scientific experimentation, it means the puppy does not get to go to the dog park after dinner and will have to deal with running after the newly re-batteried laser pointer at home. Because it was hot today and that wine went to my head. Conclusion: wine means no dog park. Which, I've been reliably informed, I should not approach.
