death by cookies

Sep 18, 2008 21:58

It was a moment of weakness, a quick and poor decision. In realizing that I had the ingredients to make flourless peanut butter cookies (including a partial bag of chocolate chips to toss into the mix), it became imperative to whip up a quick batch. They were perfect. And now my heart is racing like I've just run a marathon. Maybe I should have only eaten one cookie? Three might have been too many.

Have you read any of Samuel R. Delany's books? I've just started Dhalgren, and it is written in a style unlike anything I've seen before. It's disjointed, even for dystopian sci-fi. I'm not very far into the book yet, but I'm intrigued. Dhalgren, and Delany's works in general, were recommended in a recent Ask Metafilter thread, so I thought I'd give it a try. Next on the list: Anathem.

This Saturday, the kids are scheduled to have a sleepover at Aunt Jenn's house... which means Mom & Dad get to do whatever we want for almost 24 hours. Is there anything good happening on Saturday night? We don't actually go out in the world enough to know what people do for fun. No, really.

The picture meme that was all the rage on the El Jay today was actually the first meme that I really liked. It made me happy to see all of my friends' faces. Ok, it would be better to see you all in person... but I'll take what I can get. Oh, and speaking of pictures, I have a new phone... text me and send me a pic to store with your contact info!

You know what Friday is, right? AYE.
