Happy Belated Birthday, Darling! I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful, fun-filled day with lots of love, cake and attention and may the year to come bring nothing but joy.

So since yesterday I'm at home and miserable, chugging all sorts of repulsive stuff to battle a major respiratory infection and keep it from turning into something ugly. I guess having my colleagues e-mail me work-related stuff home didn't help. Stupid = yeah, that's me.

This forced break gives me an opportunity to work off a small chunk of my To-Do ( Read more... )

Something that should have turned out inedible ended up very, very tasty. I had lots of lime juice to spare. Since I recently found a recipe for lemon jelly I thought I'd try that.

Now, hopefully back to regular posting. I still owe you a few more Angkor Wat pictures, right? But I forgot which ( Read more... )

This is what we all have been waiting for ^__^

Seventeen times architectural miracle under the cut; I cut the post in half, so there's nine under this cut. Remember, this is from 12th century and there were NO quarries at any point nearby, no heavy machinery, nothing. The buildings still hold up far better than lots of modern buildings.
