Kind of like "Heroes." Oh, snap!
After reading "A Little Princess," I have come to the conclusion that the original, slimmer version, "Sara Crewe," was more enjoyable. That was the version I read as a child, so I'm sure nostalgia plays a part in my preference! But really, "A Little Princess," in comparison with the original work, has way too many characters, and Sara comes across ( Read more... ) -
Part 2
God, my face is so round. Every time I even think of buying make up or a piece of jewelry or a new pair of shoes, I think, Why bother? It's just like putting lipstick on a pig. So...thanks, Obama.
That, said, I just got my period for the first time in 11 months, so yay synthetic hormones! I only wish I didn't have to gain 5% body fat to make this ( Read more... ) -
In which I whine like a girl

On national holidays, like all other days, I'm no fun at all

Father's Day Panna Cotta
Thankfully, this was a success. I've made successful egg custards in my life (mostly en route to making ice cream or custard pie), but I thought I'd try something new for Father's Day. This was, in fact, incredibly easy and quick to prepare (not including chilling time).
