ok this is odd.....I won a flying spaghetti monster pendant on ebay ages ago. When I tried to pay it said the seller was now invalid. For some reason I looked yesterday and she was back on. SO I emailed her saying I still wanted it. Today I get an email saying its been sent with a tracking number. But...I never paid for it....WTF?

Looking forward to getting my sick ass home tonight, brewing some tea, and using my new reading glasses to read I Am Legend, which I bought this weekend before the flu hit me like a ton o' bricks.

Sure! I wish I could go work at Hott, but alas, family. And friends of family. And people I went to school with.
That's understandable. It's a nice little club though. The money is hard to come by sometimes unless you hustle. A lot.
But I want to try Philly. It might be a little awkward to go down there by myself to audition and then again on a weekend night but I would like to give it a shot.

Here it is, though I'm truncating the long instructions. It's from [/i] by Ann Jackson. I did make one addition which I think made it as amazing as it was: I stirred vegetarian chicken broth powder into the warm milk. I think I added a tablespoon and a half, maybe two tablespoon's worth. This was so delicious!
1 big handful flour (I used whole wheat, but any kind will do)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
3 Tbsp soy margarine (I used real butter)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1-3 cups WARM milk, soymilk, rice milk, etc. (I used unsweetened almond milk, with the broth powder)
Pepper to taste
Generously cover the bottom of a heavy cast-iron skillet with the flour, add the sesame seeds, and warm over low heat. The secret of this gravy is to let the flour brown very slowly. Stay close... after a few minutes, just stand there and stir away. Add the nutritional yeast no and keep stirring. If the flour starts to brown too quickly or burn, turn the heat down. You want a nice golden brown.
Add the butter and toasted sesame oil and keep stirring; it should make a paste. Pour in the milk very slowly, while continuing to stir. The lumps will go away. By this time you should be using a whisk or a fork to whip out the lumps. If you like a thicker gravy, use less milk. (I used about a cup and a half and had to thicken it with potato starch, so if you like thick gravy definitely keep it to about a cup of milk.) Let it simmer for a minute to thicken, stir in the pepper and serve over biscuits!

There's a bunch of authors that currently call Portland home. I wouldn't necessarily stalk any of them (esp. Mr. Palahniuk).
But Mr. Gaiman seems friendly and approachable. I think he'd take being stalked in the proper spirit.
I sent him an email to warn him but considering how much email he must get I don't think he'll get the warning before he leaves for London in two days.

I wouldn't stalk Palahniuk ... mostly because he'd probably kill me. He seems like that type. But he's awesome as well.
I wanna move to portland and stalk authors!

Found out that .
Should I stalk him? Or not?
Decisions, decisions.
I'd stalk with the intent to try to bribe him with coffee just to be in his presence for a little while. with a couple of books of his so he can sign.

I have no willpower. I totally drank at work. I lasted two hours. As soon as I went on stage sober, I was shaky, stiff and terrified. Never again. I don't drink anywhere else but work and it doesn't hurt my money. I'll just work out even harder to lose the weight.

can you change what TYPE of alcohol you're drinking so that you are still bringing the calories down? be careful if you're considering energy or diet pills, since most have warning labels not to take when you're planning on drinking too.

But how can I support you? Can I be your sports bra or something? }:D
Haha I suppose you *could*, but I actually planned on running this year... it's my annual exercise! :D Besides, you'd have to fight boy to get rights to my boobies, he's kind of possessive like that!

I am a vodka drinker. I drink it with 7up. That can't be that many calories right??
britt244
03-19-2008, 11:54 AM
^ the calories arent the only thing that matters. i'm pretty sure vodka metabolizes as sugar. and 7up DEFINATELY has a lot of sugar.
its rainy and icky out. i kind of like it.
my throat hurt really bad this morning so i told them i might have strep at my day job. and then it stopped hurting. but i really DID have a slight fever, so i said i had a dr appt and left when the kids left (kids have a half day on wed but staff stays). so now i'm home at the time i'd usually be getting out and i went to target and the book store and got my egg's present ready to go.
and no day job for a week and a half! yay spring break!

i am shit.
even after all he's done to hurt me, after how much i found out he fucking lied to me and manipulated me... i'm the one sitting here feeling guilty that he might be having a shitty time on tour because i sent him abusive messages and i feel like it's my fault.
sometimes i'm way too fucking nice for my own good.

So I emailed the ebay seller for my FSM pendant saying that while I appreciate them sending it out so quickly after I sent the email..I never paid for it. Could have kept my mouth shut and gotten free jewlery..but I just cant bring myself to steal. Especially from a fellow Pastafarian!

When will people learn that the way to show you don't care about a topic on the internet is to freakin' ignore it, and not to post the same argument in increasingly strident, preachy tones over and over again about how much you don't care?

Okay, I actually got some pretty decent sleep last night. Still feel like I got some catching up to do before I go to work tomorrow. I think another nap today and I'll be good to go. 6 more days and the folks will be home!

When did the spelling of "seriously" become "ceriously"? Am I the only one left who still spells it with an s? Am I hopelessly old-school? What is the purpose of this spelling change? I'm seeing it everywhere and I don't understand it.

Isn't it from the girl who wrote 'I am not a leopard' in a post? I just use it in humor. I generally spell it correctly.
