i didn't actually make it to the grocery store, the liquor store, and my parents' house in an hour, but it was close enough. i don't think i've ever blown through the grocery store in such a short period of time. didn't make it to the liquor store, tho. the hanukah party was as always marked by a lot of people, loud kids, and a lot of food. one ( Read more... )

i am once again a day behind. >.< last night i made snowball cookies for my parents' hanukah party which is today, and i should've left them in the oven another minute or so. they're not raw in the middle or anything, but i pulled them out a little too soon. if i was supposed to bake them to well-done, say, or medium well, they're more medium.

first, happy birthdays to othercat (today) and lady-yashka (yesterday)! i know sushi figured in at least one of those celebrations, but might i also suggest some cake?

dancing boys: *two-step*

beadslut wanted me to talk about the haven finale, except it's next week. so i guess i should talk about tonight's episode.

( talk! )

"favorite character i've created or top five with specific reasons why i like them" for shivering-lance, which i should've done yesterday but my brain was tired. my first reaction to this one was "ugh, dude, i hate you". and then i thought about it, and my second reaction was "ugh, dude, i hate you". i mean, everyone's my favorite when i'm writing them.

( five (technically six) favorite characters )

so fleurrochard asked about food and dishes that come with a special memory, and because tonight is the last night of hanukah i'm thinking about latkes (yum) but since i don't have any specific latke memories

oh wait, i do. but after this. :D

( in which i ramble about food and fam )

i keep forgetting to mention that i got a totally random kudo on my one white collar fic on ao3, which is only weird because a. i posted it almost three years ago, and b. i'm not involved in the fandom at all, which means c. i'm super curious how they found it ( Read more... )

i was going to expound on my, er, fashion sense, such as it is, but the grant post went up for insmallpackages and i got TOTALLY DISTRACTED. but now i can say go and maybe grant a wish!

anyway. firinel asked about my personal style/fashion sense, and if you were to ask me i'd say i didn't have any fashion sense, by which i mean i don't have a particularly distinct ( Read more... )

well, technically it's already the 2nd, but whatever. also there's a special on whitey bulger on the travel channel (of all channels!) which is super appropriate because today's topic is BOSTON, for idiosyncratic. (i think they're trying to suggest that after whitey and his girlfriend fled boston, they could live undisturbed in santa monica - even tho people ( Read more... )

because i am as always a day late and a dollar short, and i was out of the house for most of yesterday and didn't feel like posting this in the middle of the night, i'm going to do it now. (this particular phrasing stolen from kita0610 because it mentions bagels. :D ( Read more... )
