A few weeks ago the strange thought got stuck in my mind that I should totally bake banana bread. After all, when I was living in my on campus apartment, one of my roommates occasionally made the most awesome banana bread I'm sure ever existed, and I've watched her do it, and at no point during the process did it look terribly hard. So I looked up ( Read more... )

Ohai LJ, how have you been?

Dear children's fantasy series,

In honor of V-Day, I thought it was fitting to confess that I am a little bit in love with you. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

Because I have nothing else to do with this blog, let's talk about lucid dreaming some more.

( Raaaamble ramble ramble )

And like some kind of cosmic compensation, I went from having my grumpy failure of a lucid dream attempt yesterday to achieving my first lucid dream today. Whee ( Read more... )

About a week or two ago, I stumbled across some information about lucid dreaming. You've probably at least heard the term before; it's where you become conscious that you're dreaming, but that's all that term meant to me until recently. I've experienced brief, spontaneous moments of lucidity, as I'm sure many people have. I'll be talking to someone ( Read more... )

Uh... this post is about My Little Pony.

( The real disclaimer is that I spend more time talking about gender and society and other cartoons and stuff than the actual ponies. )

So obviously I kind of fell off the wagon when it comes to posting regularly. I have cut my own throat. Tripped on my feet. The ship has sunk. The fail boat has sailed. The postmaster has failed to deliver. The person or thing of a defined function has done something which would imply it has failed at its assigned directive ( Read more... )

Today's post comes to you a bit earlier than usual! Recall a few weeks ago when I experimented with some baking when I ended up with an unused box of cookie-brownie mix, with relative success. I mean, it was a fun and tasty adventure; I wasn't planning that I'd do it again, except, as strongly indicated by the title of this post, I seem to totally ( Read more... )

I've never really considered myself a gamer. That, to me, is a different breed of nerd that owns fancy computers and consoles and routinely drops money on whatever the new "it" game is. I've never done any of these things. Growing up, my brother had a Super Nintendo, and later on, an N64, but I generally I did not play and games were not typically ( Read more... )

I realized recently that I don't actually know anything about blogging. This came as somewhat of a surprise, because... I'm not actually sure, perhaps because I've had this LJ since sometime in high school, and I've had a fair amount of posts over the years, half of them being Project 365, several months long stretches of unexplained absence ( Read more... )
