23 March 2010 23:20LOST WAS EPIC
They seriously have to move the plot forward from now, though.
and now...
EXPERIMENTS IN COOKING
- one of the giant food packages friends gave us is a bunch of croissants from Costco. To make them taste more ~authentic~, I put bits of butter on top of the croissant and then heated it in the toaster oven until the butter melted. This also makes the croissant have more of that crisp, flaky taste I like.
- I failed at making caramel the first time - don't use a black-bottomed saucepan, even if the cookbook says metal cleans easier- but the second time I got it nice. Since it was hard to clean off a dish the first time, I poured the second batch onto sliced apples on wax paper.
Turned out I could easily pull the apples away from the caramel after it hardened. I'm not a fan of thick caramel. I like it either chewy or thin or cracked into pieces in creme brulee. But look at this:

IT'S A PRETTY LITTLE DRAGONFLY!!!
Now I have an idea of what to put on top of some baked stuff - use apples or other fruit to create a loose mold, then let it harden and see what comes out.
ETA: oh wait my dream during the nap I had before Lost kind of predicted something ( SPOILER SPOILER )

You should let it buffer a little first before letting the whole thing play...although the editing player messed up and I couldn't preview the whole thing before submitting

9 March 2010 23:47I don't post that many links to friending memes here, but this one needs lots of participation to really work:
SMALL FANDOMS FRIENDING MEME
everything from men's figure skating to TV and anime to Marble Hornets and more!
LOST didn't have 100% brilliant dialogue this week, but it sure made me feel like crying several times. Felt like a season 1 episode to me.

ETA: awesome quote from my current awesome reading
There is an island
In the middle of the sea; the Nereid's mother
And Neptune hold it sacred. It used to wander
By various coasts and shores, until Apollo,
In grateful memory, bound it fast, unmoving...
- Virgil, The Aeneid, Book III - "The Wanderings of Aeneas"

27 July 2009 13:14Yesterday, we went to Hooters because my mom wanted the crab legs. Our table had a picture of Alyson Hannigan with a waitress aww.
So many TVs. one was showing FSC, so I caught up on footie highlights (5-0? good thing I missed that) and I explained/blabbed about a lot of things to my parents. My brother was like "stop talking about soccer" but seriously, we're together so much that I'm glad we had something different to talk about.
also, there was a baby, sitting in the little McDonald's inside Walmart, that was waving to me! I wasn't sure, so I kept looking and walked a bit, but then it (wasn't sure if girl or boy) kept waving. So I smiled and waved back. The baby was so happy when I did! aww I made a baby happy.
also at Wal-mart: I read the latest isssue of TV Guide (the sci-fi issue) and they mentioned Being Human not one, but three times! Once in the weekly "what to watch" section, once in the "what's going to happen in your favorite sci-fi/genre shows" article, and then in a favorable special review! eeeeeeee
I hope I can read next week's issue - they'll have to mention something about Gilbert
Kings is over! :(
and it actually set up a potential second season very well. pooh. Instead, NBC's giving us Jay Leno five times a week.
