Today I came home and immediately had a bowl of the black bean soup I made yesterday, and it was even better than yesterday, so I guess I'm proud enough to post the recipe. If I can remember exactly what I did. It's pretty much my new favorite guilt-free food, though I suppose I could get tired of it eventually. It's also really really cheap to ( Read more... )

Today I blew a B&N coupon to buy Million Dollar Password, which is basically Password with a scary picture of Regis Philbin on the front. Well, and it's also like the show that briefly aired in the off-season on CBS. I actually mostly liked the new format of the show; it's faster and more engaging, I think, than the original show of yore ( Read more... )

Last night I got home a little late, so I took a warm shower, popped a sleeping pill and lay down on my bed. I quickly noticed an intermittent sound coming from somewhere that was not unlike the sound of a window being washed - you know, a wet paper towel on glass or something. Naturally, I immediately concluded that there was a ghost in my ( Read more... )

This weekend I made a new (to me) cookie that turned out pretty well. So here it is ( Read more... )

Just a quick post from my tiny new computer that has pretty much nothing on it yet. There will be some acclimation pains (the keys are set up just so, and not exactly "staggered" enough from one another--not to mention are tinier, and arranged just differently enough that I have to pause to make sure I'm correctly hitting the shift key), but I'm ( Read more... )

Traditionally, I'd post an anti-valentine, but the selection this year is everything from last year plus or minus a few stupid ones, so I won't bother. Passive-Aggressive Notes has a nice VD message, even if they can't spell.

Happy VD anyway.

If anyone can hear a faint voice screaming "OH MY GOD" every ten minutes or so, that's just me, catching up on the last season of Battlestar Galactica.

Aside from the clunky menus, the one thing that annoys me most about Wii Fit is the prompting for an excuse when you weigh more than the last time you took a "body test." You're given a series of choices that are all variations on "I ate too much" (and one "I didn't exercise"). So here are my suggestions for a new selection of "oh noes, I gained 0. ( Read more... )
