What is it

About seeing your mom's handwriting that is always so comforting?



It's just so mom-ish.

On the sidewalk

Alien fetus.

An old friend

Recently emerged from hiding (reverse hibernation?).

Haribo Teeth

I'm just saying--these things are awesome.

I like

This blog.

Crocheting and cat pictures!

Purr.

It's a known fact

Bears like to climb trees.

The last thing I want to do

Is discourage cinematic interpretations of eighteenth-century satirical novels.

However.

I do not enjoy Jack Black's crotch right outside my bedroom window.

Truck door

Written by a human.

Bananagrams

A powerful new force in my life.

Sunday morning

Contender

Worst company name ever?

Wanting

This hat.

Don't you love the color of the pompom?

Seasonal change

Well, we all know the signs of fall.

This means winter is here:

I got out the giant duvet!!!!

It's like sleeping in a big, soft, warm snowbank.

The good old hockey game!

New Jersey Devils versus Montreal Canadiens.

(Me versus hotdawg n fries!)

Made

Pumpkin pie.

The first pie crust was hard as a rock. But then I bought leaf lard and tried again! And it was delishus.

Thank you, whoever left these plastic bags in my bike basket

We will use them for the recycling.

Man

I have to rein in this "situation" at work.

Two pictures

Best website on the entire internet

This one!

Shout-out to Ms. Whidden for bringing this to my attention via Facebook.com.

Trying something new

Noticed

This pencil is made of plastic.

I found it in my collection. (I use them to do my Latin homework.)

I have learned that the plastic pencil was produced through an extrusion process patented by Empire Pencil Company (now Berol), which has been affiliated with Eagle Pencils since 1969 (when the former acquired the latter).

New acquaintance

I met her yesterday in a store nearby.

Fun facts: her name is Crazy, and she is pregnant.

Found tonight in a "free" pile

I will hang it in my S&M dungeon.

I made these

A very easy variation on biskwits that I made up outta my head (I watched my mom make something similar on many Sunday mornings). So delicious, especially when you have walnuts and raisins left over from the baked apples you made a couple days earlier!

(Remember when I found that bakeware on the street?)

wAAAAAHHH!

My sister's friend got a kitten! It is French Canadian, and it is a "roux" named Kiroux.

It was born on a farm. The farmer said it was ten weeks old, but really it is only about six weeks old and it doesn't know how to clean its fur, so they have to teach it how with a lil towel. Also they can't tell if it's a boy or a girl yet!

The farmer delivered it my sister's friend's apartment in Longueuil. He was wearing overalls and carrying Kiroux in his hand and the kitten was the same size as his big farmer thumb! (At least--in my imagination.)

Anyhoo.

I want a kitten REAL BAD.

Sigh

Remember my "cardboard problem"?

Well, I have new, similar issue.

Greg ordered some chemicals for printmaking and had them delivered to my office. He picked up the bottles, but left the box behind.

And I can't make up my mind to throw it away. Because, look!

SHREDDED PAPER!

You could totally make something with that. Or stuff something with it. And look at the nice colors.

So now I have a box in my office.

Found

A large bolt.

(I learned from Greg that it is a bolt because it is straight; if it were tapered it would be a screw.)

Whole Foods

Something is not right here...

It took me a surprisingly long time to figure out what it was.

Uncharacteristic snack

I really don't eat sliced meat, and nor I am a big fan of mayonnaise on toast.

HOWEVER.

I made this the other day:

Then this happened:

And, man, it was good.

Bitchin'

Flames.

Drawn with a Sharpie.

Shortbread

Why is it shaped like a piece of pie?

(Not that I'm complaining.)
