Tried to bake myself out of my bad mood last night. Not “bake” like smoke the rad weed, the ganja, the mary jane, the reefer… “bake” like attempt to make oatmeal and raisin cookies. Except I used new roommate K’s recipie, which was basically, “take a lot of butter, add a lot of sugar to it, throw in some flour, oats, baking soda, an egg and a bunch of raisins and Bob’s your Uncle”, which was confusing to me since all the butter melted, leaving me with one massive cookie that was burned all the way around its 22″ x 18″ diameter and utterly raw and gooey at its centre. In what Universe could such a recipie, based entirely on the cohesive properties of butter at high temperatures, ever work? <\/p>\n

On a scale of ‘Ambrosial Martha Perfection’ to ‘Pucks of Inedible Badness’, I would place this experiment at ‘Total Recipie Malfunction’. I will try again on Monday, since I basically have nothing else planned for this long weekend coming up. Maybe I’ll quilt, just to prove something to someone somewhere about my capacity for domesticity. (New Roommate’s efficient and cheerful household productivity – the total antithesis of Old Roommate’s utterly slothful mooching – is bringing out the ugly in my hideously competitive nature)<\/p>\n

got me a t-shirt today; it matches one of his that has “Beware of Perverts” on it in Japanese, with a little decal of a man lifting a lady’s skirt. Mine has “Beware of Women Perverts” on it, with a matching decal of a lady reaching for a man’s package. Somehow I get the feeling we’ll be wearing these to San Diego.

JVL also went to go see a preview showing of Star Wars: Episode III this morning at 9:30am, and he says on his other blog that he was pleasantly surprised<\/a>. He had previously been of the “optimism doesn’t live here anymore” camp of disillusioned Star Wars fans, but E3 has somewhat restored his faith in the dynasty. They also filmed some CBC news piece on the release of the new movie at the Silver Snail last night (I accidentally walked into one of the shots, but I was edited out as the announcer serendipitously made a verbal boo-boo just at that moment), so you’ll be able to see the Snail lightsabers at play onscreen sometime in the next day or two. <\/p>\n

Today I’ve been drumming up contributions to the Federated Health charities at my work; I must say I’m really impressed with the generosity of many people in my branch so far. I think JVL is going to donate toys from the store for our online auction, which is great! <\/p>\n

Tonight I’ll be hanging out with and to have some snacks and relaxing girly chill time. Much needed; much appreciated. Hopefully more to come on the weekend with and if all goes well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
