So, having just tried to play a C-major scale on my flute after blowing a bucket full of snot out of myself, I now have the hiccups. Stupid diaphragm! This is uncalled for ( Read more... )

I could annihilate a bag of sea salt and vinegar kettle chips right now. Annihilate. Why did I have to be all sensible and only buy stuff I actually needed at the store this afternoon? Glucose tablets? I should have bought potato chips ( Read more... )

What am I eating for dinner? Four cups of air-popped popcorn and two tablespoons of butter. Eaten in conjunction with each other, of course. I'm not alternating handfuls of popcorn with little licks of butter.

Is it necessary that 99.9-percent of all cotton velvet and velveteen has Lycra in it? Is it really? It wouldn't be so bad if approximately 90-percent of that .1-percent wasn't tan. Fabric people, get your Lycra out of my cotton velvet!

Yeah, I just looked at the cotton velvet selection on Fashion Fabrics Club. Yeah, I'm ready to have kittens.

I just had the strangest urge to eat flan. Like right now. That's not exactly a convenience dessert. It's not like I can take two cups of a milk, a packet of instant flan mix, and come up with caramelized deliciousness in under ten minutes ( Read more... )

I actually ate a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice when I woke up around 6:30, but by the time I got in the house at 9:30 or so, I was hungry again ( Read more... )

Does anyone know why vintage_hair was deleted? I caved into the need to have big 18th century hair tonight, and was looking for a tutorial when, lo and behold, the community was gone! What made that happen? It always seemed pretty much drama free, compared to knitting.

As I might have mentioned here and again on my journal, my biggest fear is the apocalypse. Not brimstone and hellfire raining down from the skies, but a dreadful and unalterable change to human life as we know it. Whether that's a nuclear war, as in On the Beach by Neville Shute, or something more biological, like that one Stephen King novel with ( Read more... )

Dear friends who read romance and young adult fiction:

The Smart Bitches, in coalition with some other blogs about books, are sponsoring a March Madness tourney for books. This is awesome! This is a tourney I actually know something about -- not so for wrestling or basketball ( Read more... )
