Clam Screws
This is a favorite childhood recipe. I think its real name is something like "Clam rotini with white wine sauce", but I went through a phase when I was a kid of giving all my food descriptive names (ramen noodles were curly noodles until I went to college and trained myself out of the habit), and 'Clam screws' stuck. When I moved in with my ( Read more... ) -

An athiest's guide to comparative religion
Today, I was talking to a visitor who was confused about how the Ptolemaic pharaohs of Egypt related to religion, and that whole divine ruler thing.

I started a real sketch blog, oh, a while ago here because I was bored, and felt like it might be a good idea to have a tidier place to throw sketchbook stuff. Also, the terms of service were clear about what I had to ( Read more... ) -
way to go Ohio
I am so incoherently furious about this it isn't even funny.This is not particularly helpful given that the only even remotely productive thing I do about it is write angry letters at my state senator, and somehow I don't think spray painting "if you vote for this you hate women" across his lawn, while emotionally satisfying, won't actually win any ( Read more... ) -
I may have a problem
Yeaaaah. I do not understand my mental tendency to go "arg this is disturbing and upsetting I will avoid this topic...oooo this is disturbing and upsetting and completely fascinating and I will read lots about it!" Hence the current fascination with military history.

This was such a weird book. I can't really recommend it exactly, but I feel the need to talk about it ( Read more... )
