Guess which original Deadpanita sent me that link?
Goodnight :9inch:
Rhettro? Or possibly Lo..
And here I thought something called “How to Destroy Angels” was going to be Dr. Who related….
Or at least “Supernatural”.
I’m guessing Dre.

Oddly, I too am hubblyless this evening. *hrm*
Hubby is growing his face fur again. That means a week of scratchy kisses until it grows out enough to be soft.
ditto/Jack, I’m going to be spending the next couple of days finalizing month end at work. I’ll have my EBF out by this weekend, though.

Van, have you seen the Humble Book Bundle? I’m thinking of getting it.
Umm, see below
HumbleBundle are doing a ebook bundle:
http://www.humblebundle.com/
Think I’ll give this one a miss, only fancy two books on the list.
At the rate I devour books, I don’t necessarily need to fancy a book to read it.
Woo hoo! I have actually read one of those books!
I’m downloading my copies now. I saw this a bit earlier and bought into it before lunch.
I’m getting farther behind in my reading, but I’m giving myself some great options for what to read next.
Even if I fancy a book, I usually wait until the third date before I read them.
Prude!
I’m twirling my handlebar moustache and plotting.
Of course, then he goes right for the back page!
*ZING!!!!!*
That explains why those back pages always seem to stick together.
Does the book have a happy ending?
Apparently.
Got to be up at 4am, ugh.
So I got a press release from Geoff Tate’s PR guy about his new album.
I’m a big Queensryche fan and in the past I would have jumped at the opportunity to get a promotional copy of his new disc, get invited to his concert (If only he was playing nearer than 300 miles away), and/or interview him.
After what’s gone down the past few months combined with a pretty lame lyric video for a song that’s supposed to be on a METAL album… Man, I just don’t know if I even want them to send me a free copy. (Yeah, I’ll probably still get the free copy, I’m a cheap-ass that way)

Whore that I am, I asked for an advance copy.
Let’s just hope it isn’t Operation: Fancrime.

Begin rant\ I have a question. Have I in any way given the impression I have a problem with men and my husband in general? Is there anybody who even slightly knows me, doesn’t know I all but worship my husband? I understand when one has been a single mom for close to ten years and haven’t had much luck with men, that you may be less than enchanted with them. But, when railing against the evil that is male, there is no way, if you even slightly know me, that you should get upset at me when you ask if I feel the same about men in general and, sometimes about my husband in general, that I answer “no”. Seriously, I understand you feelings, but don’t get snarky if I don’t share them. Really, if you know me, even a little bit, you know you won’t find someone more in love with their other half, *humph* /end rant
Nope. You will not find me disagreeing with you.
Wait, did the weatherman just say snow tomorrow? It’s 16C right now. I don’t think I can handle that kind of change in one day

I see Deadpan is still broken. At least the home page is anyway.
It seems to have gone away for me.
I find it hit and miss. Some posts work perfectly, some are blood red a a bunch of code shows at the top of the page.
If you just go to jackmangan.com (not this post page), the code still shows it’s nakedness.
It looks like some sort of css style update that went wrong. Maybe WP did an update and things aren’t compatible atm?
I wonder if the blood red lettering is a sign of something.
I immediately thought of “28 Days Later…”
It may or may not have to do with a crush I have for Cillian Murphy.
Yeah, *sigh* oh to be a few years younger.
There are strange noises coming from one of our heating vents. I wonder if we have a mouse.

Morning Pan
Hubby says that the Social Studies class are going outside today to recreate the battle of Vimy Ridge. There will be Nerf guns involved. I don’t remember my classes doing anything that coo.
In 3rd grade, my GATE class (for the über smart kds) made model planet out of Play-Doh. We then went off campus in the neighborhood, & we spaced out each planet on the sidewalk in a single line. Each step we took equalled one light year.
In the end, we were probably a mile or two away from the campus, including Puto.
That experiment blew my mind & is still with me to this day.
Those kids are going to have a blast. 🙂
When hubby was teaching the advanced grade six science class he would often take them outside to do “experiments”. They would do such things and make their own bottle rockets and then see who’s would go the farthest, they did the Mentos and Diet Coke thing. I’m not sure who had more fun, him or the kids.

There, the bathroom is nice and clean. I think it’s time to bake some cookies
Chocolate brownie cookies. Hubby will approve.
CP: Punching In A Dream — The Naked And Famous
Looks like enough blood of the innocents was collected to satisfy the angry Internet Gods (aka the style sheet was corrected). :whistling in the dark:
Yeah, except the title graphic still seems to be broken.
I haven’t done a cookie play by play in a while so…
I put some chocolate chipset, chocolate squares, and butter in the microwave to melt
While its melting, I am going to put sugar, flour, and cocoa in a bowl
OMG!

… however, if you can overlook all of that, it’s pretty damn funny in a wrong kind of way.
Will check it out once the cookies are in the oven
Old people making out. I know it happens, I just don’t want to see it.
The whole thing made me giggle.
SLJ is awesome.
Ok, why can I only find one measuring tablespoon? I think I need a word with a certain hubby about using my cooking utensils
Ok, I’m putting the melted chocolate into the bowl with the dry ingredients
Eggs and vanilla are added
I had fried egg sandwiches for tea, yum.
I don’t think fried eggs would make the cookies taste any better.
Ack! That seems to be the last of my vanilla. Must add it to the shopping list
Then I stir everything together
Adding some (unmelted) chocolate chips, just because
Cookie PBP
So I put spoons full of dough onto cookie sheets and they are now in the oven.
In about 15 minutes there will be chocolatey goodness for my hubby to eat
Now… Time to clean up my mess
Even though I won’t eat the cookies I have to admit, they sure make the house smell good.
Cookies are done. Come and get them :happy:

Tomorrow is the big LA day. I arrive around 9:30am and have the rest of the day to putz around. I’m going to the Santa Monica Pier, then to some parks or other (most are named … canyon park) just to the north because that’s what the guy I’m traveling with wants to go to. I Hope that he has actually done some research into these parks and that we can find one with some nice views.
Have you been on the west coast before, UH? Simple as it is, my most profound pleasure at any California beach is to catch the sunset, if the weather cooperates.
I wholeheartedly agree with this advice.
Sorry I didn’t give more advice earlier, UH. You’ll have fun at Santa Monica Pier and at the parks. I would have suggested Long Beach’s main attractions (the Queen Mary and the Aquarium of the Pacific) as cool places that are decently close to where you are. Whatever you end up doing, have a great time!
Safe trip, UH. Jack is right, look for the sunsets and enjoy the mild weather!

Chronotic Frission tonight.
I was reading an article about 8bit ‘Track and Field’ clones with a group of teenagers sitting behind me on the bus making a lot of noise..and thinking I’m reading about games created before this mob were a twinkle in their parents eyes.

Lo goddamn Pan approved!
It’s worth listening to at least some of the audio. The guy was awesome.
I got a call from one of these types in the last year or so. He was really pushy and sure of himself. It was easy to see why so many people fall for the scam. I was even a little unsure myself … except he kept referring to corrupted Windows files and of course, I have a Mac.
I finally started pushing him on it and when he insisted I he was looking at my “windows” files and that my PC was definitely infected I just started laughing. When I told him I knew this was all a scam because I didn’t have a PC but a MAC he very confidently ask if I was sure because his data indicated it was a PC.
What do you do with people like that?

Im sorry. I was distracted by the Shat’s sweaty bare chest.
Roar, tiger
Since I’ve been blabbering about it here too, I thought I’d post the Event Donations tally for Sausagefest 3.
Sausagefest 1, which was held over two nights, raised $500 during the event.
Sausagefest 2, which was one night, raised just over $800 during the event.
Sausagefest 3, raised $1333.30 during the event! For the math impaired, that’s more than the first two combined!
Fuck Cancer!
Also of note (because this is stat that I’m going to start keeping). Folks at Sausagefest 3 consumed 47.5 POUNDS of sausage!
That is a LOT of innuendo!
Van.
“Tilt to Live” no longer runs on my iPod Touch.
Dammit.
Oh dear, that can only mean the apocalypse is near.
… and I’m all out of buzz saws.
Hubby is being strange. He wasn’t feeling well over the weekend so didn’t vacuum. Now, after dinner, he’s decided to vacuum the whole house. I don’t understand. It’s not like we’re expecting company. And he’s missed vacuuming on a weekend before and it didn’t bother him.
I feel guilty sitting on the couch doing nothing while he cleans house
That is a LOT of innuendo!
