Verily was I most pleased as morning split the horizon with her tender fingers of rose, for Sir Jeffrey of Greenfield, master of the political scholars for the Columbia Broadcasters' Guild, did proclaim it so: if perchance the faction known to all as the Democrats will but swear to a man their loyalty to Barack Obama of the Senate, then truly shall ( Read more... )

 Does anyone know if there are currently any anthology forma scifi/fantasy/horor shows in production? I know the SciFi Channel plays a lot of ones from the 80s and 90s, but am curious if there are any currently on air...

So, I tried to make sort of mini-pizzas with ingredients that I has on hand at my uncle's house (where I'm dog-sitting for the next week). Here's what I had:

Four slices bread
1 can stewed tomatoes
1/2 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
Handful of frozen peas
shredded mozzarella
Garlic mayonnaise

Spread garlic mayonnaise on one side of bread. Place on ( Read more... )

So , at this point it seems fairly official: by the middle of September, I will be living with my cousin and her boys in Morrisville, Vermont. It's a fairly big deal to me, even if it is only an hour away from home. To begin with, I've never really been in Morrisville much. Rode through it a couple times. But it seems like a nice little town. But ( Read more... )

 Grr. So, my older brother just got dDSL. It's a lot faster than his dial up through People PC, for sure. But I can't log onto Facebook, or Explorer crashes. The last time I logged onto Livejournal, Explorer crashed. Sigh...WTF, mate ( Read more... )

Shindig

1-1/2 oz. peppermint schnapps
2-1/2 oz. orange juice

Shake with a glassful of broken ice and pour unstrained into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a slice of orange and a cherry, and serve.
I omitted the garnishes du to not having them. Also, the only measurer I could find was a 1/4 cup (2oz.) measuring cup, so my measuring was approximated ( Read more... )

Been reading The Grapes of Wrath. Only started, but it's amazing. And I want to find the Gospel of St. Thomas somewhere to see how many parallels there really are (I've already discovered a couple, based on what I know of Thomas).

From The Gospel of St. Thomas, 77:1-78:3:

Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came ( Read more... )

Consider, for instance, the movie Species,  which I saw for the first time two nights ago in an edited-for-tv version on AMC. I started piecing together some interesting insights into the movie's stance regarding female sexuality. Whereas one might expect a movie written, directed, and produced entirely by men (and with only two important female ( Read more... )

Altered my journal theme and layout. New titles etc. Felt the need to post afterward. Possible job opportunity; we'll see what happens. At my brother's again for 1-2 days; then back to my uncle's for a couple days I guess. Then we'll see.

I wanted to post these, but am unsure of their merit. May or may not be ready for viewing (comments welcome):
