I was told there would be cake.

Someone left my cake out in the rain...
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Sorry. I couldn't help myself

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*wall of sound*

[bleodswean]

No more food!!!! Today is my ONLY break in a crazed week-long St. Paddy's celebration with family. I literally have NOT stopped since early Sunday morning. People, food, sights, food, four-wheeling, people, and more food. And it all begins again tomorrow.

I thought I would faint when I saw the 24 hour time limit this week. But as my family are all military, police, fire, and medical...I just channeled some of their moving storytelling....

I want to write something happy soon.

[swirlsofblue]

Ooh, sounds like fun :)

[tsuki_no_bara]

i actually just had a cupcake. (with green frosting, coincidentally. :D ) so if there's a brunch buffet, i'll just go for some eggs. maybe some bacon.

that's... a lot of green rooms. O.O

*snags a cup of tea and a biscuit from the buffet and sits in the corner*

I've been reading some fabulous things on the internet this morning, including those entries. :)

I'll sprinkle a few links around:
- Women characters redesigned by women artists
- cool women of STEM cameos
- a lovely short story The Truth About Owls reprinted in Strange Horizons

::plops down next to lrig_rorrim::

People on FB keep pissing me off. Why am I still on FB?

::chomps a bacon sandwich::

[lrig_rorrim]

That's a FINE question. I mean, there are lots of answers, but I expect the answer is just "that's where the people are" and "it's easy". Those little notifications, that kind of thing. Trivial to tell when there's something new, and then get pissed about it. ;)

I've been poking my head into FB a bit more often lately, but the signal-to-noise ratio is just awful... I'm happier here on LJ. Well, I'm happiest lurking, but you know.

Think I might make bread pudding today. With or without chocolate chips is the question...

Edit: Mischief managed. Bread pudding with raisins is in the oven (this way I can pretend it's healthy). Also, I am feeling ridiculously proud for accomplishing bread pudding. I've been such a slug the last few days.

[kathrynrose]

Given the question, "With or without chocolate chips?" The answer is nearly always, "With. Duh."

The FB answer is there are too many people I would simply lose contact with altogether if I stopped being there. Some of them make it worth the rest of them. It's just hard to remember that sometimes.

I've done my best to improve the signal to noise. I don't friend everyone I've ever known, or everyone who sends me a request. I filter, so that I'm only reading the people who occasionally say things worth reading. It never ceases to amaze me that there are a handful of people I love dearly, even though they think so differently about so many things. I block most of the game announcements and invitations, etc.

I just can't block all the Stupid. Sometimes good people spread the Stupid. I've done it, too. I know. just. Ugh.

*takes all the sushi from the buffet*

*shuffles off*

[lrig_rorrim]

Whoa. I need to go to the brunch buffets you go to, if there's sushi!

[crisp_sobriety]

There is!

Until I get there and make like a bandit, that is. >]
