I just realized I bought two separate kinds of nighttime cold medicine instead of buying one of the daytime things. So I very narrowly escaped passing out on my desk tomorrow. Well done to me.

THIS IS VITAL INFORMATION.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly..

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

I just wanted to see it once. Just... fucking once.

Now I'm just depressed. Well, more depressed.

I am oh, just a little bit psyched about this particular piece of news...

Today the Dave Matthews Band releases their first album since LeRoi's death last August. It's not like I'm so completely intimately emotionally other-ly words connected to them or anything... but... ow, yknow?



Long live the GrooGrux King.

My favorite sequence of all time.

I set my dvd recorder (yeah, not a tivo, it's basically a flatter vcr) to record Janney on Ellen last Thursday and I thought the big hurdle was to just remember to set the timer. NO motherfucker that was NOT the hurdle. What you neglected to do you stupid idiot was take out the dumb movie from the night before and put in a blank disc in to record to. So I got nothing.

Sooooo if anyone can point me to something, yeah that'd be great.

I love it I love it I love it.

Taylor. Taylor. Taylor. Taylor.

All right. [to Debbie] Fiderer's a funny name. It's not ha-ha funny, it's just, you know...

I DON'T GO MAKING BURGERS WHERE YOU WORK AND THEN TELL YOU HOW TO MAKE BURGERS!

...okay, I'm about to give up.

$200. Roughly $50 for the vet visit and $150 in medications. This isn't even the annual physical, that was four months ago. goddammit. And for extra fun, as I'm soaking an itchy puppy paw in the bathtub, I slip and my toilet seat breaks. Completely breaks. As in I have nothing to sit on when... doing my taxes. I don't know how to fix something like that.

Also, the art projector thing that I FINALLY bought - I had to sell my last beloved one a few years ago before I moved - it broke today as well. I only used it ONCE. An hour ago, I tried to use it for the second time ever, it flickered, and now nothing. I bought it a month ago, my one christmas gift to myself. I have no idea where the receipt is.

Something really needs to go my way SOON...

Shaka to you too, good sir. Lead on.

WHAT?!?!

Fred Armison (SNL) and "Lizzie" Elisabeth Moss are a THING?!

Oh man, we don't have to call them Frizzie, do we?

Make your own.

Still alive and kickin. On with the show.

I don't feel good. No not at all.

And no I'm not sick.

Okay, not that kind of sick.

Last night, I had the regular Fox network 11pm news on, and right before it was over the anchorguy says "And here are some highlights for what's coming up" and then they actually previewed the TMZ gossip show crap that was going to air at 11:30. Quite literally clips of Lohan and her girlfriend fighting, Heather Locklear's DUI and then Mark Wahlberg peeing into a shrubbery.

Then they cut back to the news desk so they could do their sign off. This is how it ended:

Anchorguy: "And that's the news."
Weatherman: "......Did we really just show that?"
Anchorguy: (being professional) "...yeah. We did."
Weatherman: (barely holding in a smirk) "...okay then."


Good for you, now-unemployed weatherman.

Once upon a time, there was a little Ukrainian folk song, meant to be sung for the New Year, telling of a little swallow who arrives to tell a family what a wonderful, bountiful year he's going to have, filled with healthy livestock, a good harvest, great wealth, and a beautiful family. Then some American stoled his song, changed the words, and I dunno, maybe you'll recognize the tune:



I wish you and yours many happy cows, pigs and chickens.



*ps. My tablet died for good this morning, so please don't ask for drawings. It pains me to say, they won't happen for a while.

I continue to be snowed in. On and off snowicerainsnowicesnow for an entire week now. Haven't driven my car in over a week - that's eight days for those of you keeping track. Today is the worst day yet, so any thoughts I had about trying to catch a train downtown have been vetoed for fear of the trains failing and them trying to toss us on buses. And *that* I won't do. I'm staying way the hell away from anything with wheels. I know I know it's not much snow by anyone's standards, but with all our dumb hills and even dumber drivers, it's just safer to stay home. Case in point:


(filmed nearby, sometime in the past week, my dad even said he saw it played on CNN.)

However, there was much hilarity on the news this morning as a mall owner/proprietor/whateversheis practically begged people to come to her very empty mall. For the entire state to be just about paralyzed for the LAST TWO shopping weekends before Xmas, store owners are probably suicidal right about now.
