My bizarre take on a strange holiday tradition has produced magical dancing light.




p.s. may all of yours be merry and bright.

Hallo Mya!

I feel yours and Ergo's pain. Mister's birthday is on the 13th, and I haven't got a bloody clue what to get him, aside from a blowjob, or laid, or something.

Not today Ergo. I think I might go look elsewhere. Some of the places, from what I read, are pretty bad.

Here is a movie review of the movie Twilight that I think some of you will get a kick out of.






Twilight


Here are a few things I've learned from Twilight, in no particular order:

It's possible to throw out nearly every defining characteristic of a thing, and still cling to the idea that it's still that thing. Being a teenager hurts. Stalking isn't a crime, it's totally sexy. True love means finding a guy that realizes, not "thinks," that you are the most amazing person to ever live. Vampires are idiots, and haven't spent their immortality learning anything useful, like how to convincingly lie about all the weird shit they do. Chicks really like it when guys wear more makeup than they do. If love isn't really hard and painful, it's just not real. If there's lots of heartfelt gazing and snuggling, it's perfectly acceptable to have nearly no plot in your movie. And if you want to make oodles of money, don't entertain any ideas about quality or integrity; just whore yourself out to fourteen year-olds by creating a product they will venerate precisely because it venerates them, a self-perpetuating cycle of undeserved praise that will cause cash registers to ring like a chorus of angels.

After her mother remarries, sad-faced Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) moves to Washington state to live with her dad in a dismal land of unending rain and gloom. Mom was a ditz, you see, and Bella was the one really keeping things afloat; we know, because she tells us so in voice-over. Pretty, sensitive, and responsible! And sad. As she settles into her new school, she wanders into chem class and into, apparently, an Aerosmith music video shoot, where her hair is caught in a stiff breeze that instantly vogues her up and carries her irresistible scent straight into the flaring nostrils of Edward Cullen (rhymes with "sullen"), a popular local boy wearing more face makeup than all the members of Duran Duran put together, who spends the rest of the class giving her a nasty stare as if she had either just murdered his mother or simply stank like cow feces on a hot summer day. He vanishes for days, then reappears with a new, chummier attitude and a different eye color. One day he saves her from a car crash. A few days later, he saves her from a rape gang. He's that awesome. Why? Because, as Bella discovers, he's a vampire.

Oh, sure, he doesn't hurt people, isn't hurt by sunlight, crosses, holy water, garlic, or running water, casts reflections in mirrors, needs no invitation to come into your home, doesn't turn into a bat or wolf, doesn't sleep in a coffin, and doesn't even have fangs, but he's a vampire. I swear. He's immortal, and eats animal blood. His eyes turn black when he's feeling bloodlust, which he never gives in to, and the sunlight makes him sparkle like a unicorn probably would while galloping through a thirteen year-old's idea of a really steamy dream. Make no mistake: these are the lamest vampires ever put to film. The lack of a proper pedigree notwithstanding, Edward goes off on a long tirade about how dangerous he truly is: he can't resist her scent, he wants to drink her blaaad, he's killed people before. "I don't care," Bella says, sounding like she really doesn't. Excuse me? What kind of moron is this girl, anyway? He hasn't even qualified it with a "self-defense" or even a "they really had it coming." She should make haste out of the whole goddamn state. He wants her more than any person he's ever met. She's so enigmatic, he can't even read her thoughts, which is his normal ability. Yes, she's that significant. What teenaged girl has ever been more important, other than, you know, any of them, provided you go by their own accounts?

I'm fully aware that I'm not the audience for this sort of thing. But that's no excuse for making a stupid movie. Edward is, in case you're interested, a hundred years old. Yes, and he's chasing tail in the eleventh grade or so. Yes, Kristen Stewart is kind of cute, but what could any hundred year-old have in common with her? A lot, it seems; from all appearances, she's the first girl he's ever actually talked to in a century. "Are you wearing contacts?" she asks him after noticing his eyes have changed. "It's err, these flourescents," he stammers before skulking off in a thoroughly suspicious manner. A man with any brains whatsoever could instead have replied "Yes," and put that issue to bed before it ever existed. Why must we endure a scene of the whole vampire family playing baseball in slow motion (I repeat: lamest vampires ever) just so the bad guys can finally be introduced? Why the FUCK would an immortal condemn himself to high school over and over? And why do teens in modern movies do nothing but brood? Where are Ferris Bueller and the Duckman when you need them? I honestly have no idea if either of our leads can even act. Brooding is such a dull, one-note emotion; I can only picture the director shouting "You! Curl your lip more! And you! Look more conflicted, and stammer some more!" behind nearly every scene.

I was a teen once, too. I know things at that age feel much bigger, much more intense, much more epic than they do later in life. But there's nothing epic about the events of this film, nothing to convince me, the viewer, to take this stuff as seriously as our pasty-faced emo couple does. I imagine future editions of the dictionary placing screencaps of this film next to the definition of "overwrought." When Edward has saved Bella for the second time/third time/whatever-she imagines a montage of cuddling and shots from Cure videos and a deer loping through the woods. A Deer? A DEER?! Was this made for or by preteen girls? I don't know. But none of this is the real problem here.

The problem is that the filmmakers feel that it's every girl's primal fantasy to be cast as a perennially helpless victim, one who needs a big, strong, and even potentially abusive protector to save her from rape or murder or whatever happens in the inevitable sequel. Isn't it enough for him to just be nice? Is that just too boring? Because honestly, the thought of feeding this pretend-edgy but frankly ultra-conservative "good old days" view of a woman's place to young girls actually rather creeps me out. The biggest lesson I learned from Twilight is that apparently girls are pathetic and useless without a man to save them from the world. To hell with Bueller; where's Buffy when you need her?

it's worth looking around, go and have a look at them before you join, a good place should let you see what they are like

ergoproxy said...

HAHAHA
thanks MJ sounds like a movie I might give a miss to
but you pander to a market and you have success in buckets, lets just hope there is no sequel, could the world cope with more brooding and galloping deer?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Ep here is some more LOls for you. I was listening to a podcast that read the review and as a special treat the bookended the podcast with this song

Vampires are alive
(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, get a life

I am a vampire, I'm a slave
A slave to the daylight, hence my grave
In the darkness, in the shadows – here I am
(Here I am)

I want you to be forever mine
Together until the end of time
Like a nightmare, never ending
Let me change your world

(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)
(And we will be forever young)

Vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)

Tonight is the night, live a thousand years
Don't be scared, don't drown in tears
Free your spirit after midnight, sell your soul
(Let it go)

From heaven to hell, enjoy the ride
You're here to surrender with your life
Precious victims, my desire, live eternally

(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)
(And we will be forever young)

Vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)

(Vampires) are alive
Vampires are alive
(Vampires)

Here is the video enjoy and later

FAfuckingSC, I just love you to bits and pieces!

Good luck, Jules! Don't forget to get dressed before you leave the house!

Ergo, I hope you have sweet dreams of cooking up delicious treats for all!

Elena, You okay? I'm hoping you are just being quiet, but I'm kind of worried.

It's Pineapple Express day, boys and girls! Let's all hop aboard!

Gotta go ready myself for the day!

Later, Folks....(o_O I almost typed "Foolks"! That's like not even a word but it so could be! Let's kick it BlogBelieve style.)


May-oooooooooh,

Are you wearing your Johnny Cash black yet?

You know you could always dress it up with a blingin' belt buckle or a pimp hat with a feather.

Or maybe I should just back away from the fashion advice and just stick to offering up music.

What Not To Wear, Indeed!

Love to YOU Always,
S

sdock10 said...

And just because I love for you guys to hear the music in my head:

Broken Boy Soldier

I'm pulling down questions from the shelf
I'm asking forgiveness
I ain't asking nobody but myself
And I want you to know this
And I want you to know this

You rightfully threw a box of toys
That were handed down to me
Just take out the ones you brought and then
Give the rest to my family

I'm gonna go back to school today
But I'm dropping myself off
I'm throwing the child seat away
I'm through ripping myself off
I'm done ripping myself off


I'm child and man and child again
A toy broken boy soldier
I'm child and man then child again
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
Never gets older
The boy broken toy soldier
The boy...
The boy!

Kate Ceberano - Young Boys are My Weakness
********************************************



Chorus
Young boys are my weakness
I just like their sweetness


Hey boys let's mess around
I wanna party with you on the town
Some boys really make me swing
There ain't nothin' like a pretty young thing
Young boys are really mellow
You don't believe me then just try this fellow
(I know what to say when they call me on the phone)
You call me back when your momma ain't home

Chorus
Young boys weakness
I just like their sweetness


Hey boys let's mess around
I wanna party with you on the town
some boys really make me swing
There ain't nothin' like a pretty young thing

Chorus
Young boys are my weakness
I just like their sweetness

I just wanna get me hands on YOU

Young boys you make me move
Young boys you set the groove
Young boys taste as sweet as honey
Don't taste as good as my money

Solo saxophone

JACKSON, Ohio – Police say an angry 4-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a closet and shot his baby sitter.

Eighteen-year-old Nathan Beavers was hospitalized Sunday with minor wounds to his arm and side after the shotgun attack. Police say another teen was also injured.

Witnesses told police the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot. Beavers was watching the child at a mobile home in Jackson with several other teenagers and several other children.

Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen says authorities are investigating. The child has not been charged.


Wow. Ummm, I don't even know what to say to that.

4 years old. O_O

Thank you guys all once again for the wishes of good luck! I'll be leaving in a little while. My schedule is getting all switcharooed (umm yay?) but today is the first day and all my books are in order and apparently my clothes are all on so it looks like I'm good to go!

Guys, I made some music videos, would anyone care to see them? Princess, Solly, Fimble Jazz, you guys are, umm, in one of them. ^_^ They are up at my blog right now.

Or alternately you can take a peek at them at LJ.

At least you can all go look at what a slum I live in. ^_^ And how hideous and ugly and low class all my friends and family are. How untalented and freakish and all of that. And how ghetto my life is. Heee.

If you guys do watch them, please tell me if the second one, "Dynamite," plays all herky jerky? The original video plays beautifully on my computer without any hitches, but it keeps stopping and getting stuck at the exact same parts whenever I upload it. Mystifying, I tell you.

Well, there you go!

Okay! Well, I guess I'd better have lunch and then go. To school. Yup. here I go.

Aaaaaand I'm off.

For real.

Bye now!








Really going.


Bye!




Catch ya later!



Going to school!


Later guys!

Both of the videos played beautifully for me. First one made me all teary, especially when she meets him sat the airport, and the second made me laugh and realize you are in fact a big ole dork, but I mean that in a nice way. :)

Fimble Star said...

Picture this…….
It is extremely icy and cold here at the moment, and there is a lot of black ice on the floor. My work is situated at the top of a hill which is sort of like a bridge over the motorway. I was walking down there today on my lunch hour to go into town, trying not to fall over in front of every Tom Dick and Harry, when all of a sudden there was this old man in front of me who fell over. He slipped on the ice and fell on his knees which would have been painful but even more so because he was frail and elderly. I tried to run down to help him get up, and see if he needed an ambulance or something that would help him. I forgot that I was trying to keep myself up when I fell over right next to him, flat on my bottom. It bloody hurt but the funny thing was I didn’t really feel the pain at that moment, I just got up and help Sedrick, the elderly man that had fallen. He was ok, I called his daughter and she came to take him to the doctors to check that he was ok, nobody told me I had a massive wet patch on my pants so all day I looked like I had wet myself from behind. Oh well, at least Sedrick is fine and dandy and hopefully he didn’t need the hospital.

This is why I don’t see why people act like they do, no matter what race, culture, gender, age, people are people and should be treated in a way that you wish to be treated yourself. A joke is a joke, an opinion is an opinion and I know everyone has different limits, different opinions but when does that mean you stop thinking about other peoples feelings and are only concerned with how you see things. That is what I don’t get and maybe I will never understand it but I know for a fact that I would never be disrespectful, demeaning and basically down right awful to other people and who they are as a person.

But, that’s just me so hey ho what do you know,

anybody about?

Smoke said...

And that is why I ♥ you, Fimble.

Thank you for saying exactly what I've been thinking but didn't know how to put into words.

I miss you soooo much. Did you know that? ^_^

Fimble Star said...

i did know that and i do miss you so much as well. did you know that my bum is still sore well it is.

you working?

Smoke said...

Awwww! That was sweet of you to help him.

Yep, I'm working. Still got an hour and a half. Boooo! And I better get back to it.

See you later? Maybe? Hopefully?

Love ya!

Carrie said...

Sorry you have a sore bum, Fim! We have ice here too, I almost went sliding right out into the road when I got to end of our little subdivision.

Smoke said...

Hey Carrie!

Our air is on full blast right now. It's in the 80's here.

Georgia: Nothing but skeeters and humidity.

See you guys later! ^_^

Fimble Star said...

bye smok, i may be around but i need to be up at 6 for work tomorrow. if i dont see you,

good afternoon, good evening and good night

:)


carrie, how the heck are you? i bet that was scary sliding, was you in your car?

Carrie said...

Curse you southerners!!!! Okay, Deep Southerners. My parents in VA are still all crybabying about it being cold when it's in the thirties. 80 degress in January is just plain ridonculous. Have a nice rest of the work day!

Carrie said...

I'm good Fim, and yeah, I was taking Annie to school, the anti lock brakes kicked in though, so all was gravy. I just got called by the sleep center, they had a cancellation so I'm going to go do my overnight thingy tonight. How are you enjoying your job? I wish you came around here more!

Fimble Star said...

i wish too carrie but i am usually to nacked too. i go to work at 7.30 and get back at 6.30 at night. then i usually come home get changed and go out till about 11 ish or i stay out so i am never really at home. do you have a cell, email it me and we can do fimmy and carrie updates, me and the sisters do it all the time well i try lol i usually fail hard hahaha.

what is this sleep thing you are doing, i havent caught up properly but i caught a bit of what happened the other night which was a bit blah but oh well.

Carrie said...

I have to go for an overnight sleep study to see if I have apnea or not. I don't think I do but the doc wants me to go and hey, at least it's a night away from home. Sounds like you are having fun back in ole Blighty. I'm not here as much either since I got a job, but this week I don't have to work as much. The holiday rush is finally over.

Fimble Star said...

god, i feel like i have missed so much, you wanna shoot me an email with all the goss in it like what ya do how fam is and everything so and so.

I think i may retire to my bed soon, its only 9 but i a so tired been bloody working hard today it was a long un lol.

Come om fimmy, admit it, maybe you peed just a little when you fell. LOL! sorry this is just a hit in run. Gotta go and pick up my boy from school. I'm glad the man didn't hurt himself. Good to see ya! Carrie and Smoke, i read back and read what you said the other day.♥ Thank you! Gotta run!

Good Morning!

I haz coffee and it's drizzly rain, but seeing as I don't have to go anywhere it's good. My best friend who went to the other side of the country is back for a visit too! They got in yesterday, can't wait to see them again. :]


hope your day went well K. Just don't go to sleep in a lecture! I got into a lecture once, one of the theatres that seat a few hundred, and we saw a guy stretched out along the bench about halfway up, sound asleep, they were long solid desks with benches behind so the lecturer couldn't see him, we sat at the one above and waited then part way through our lecture (Plant Physiology) he sat bolt upright and looked about totally confused, grabbed his stuff and hustled out.
Everyone, including our lecturer just laughed at him.

ergoproxy said...

hi sdock, smoke (are they healthy kitties?) ts and fim

hey fim, home and away starts again here on the 19th but who is dead?????

Ooohhh, I hope it rains here tonight. It'll make it a whole lot cooler if it does.

I just want to know what happened to Eric Nies.

Bless his little heart. He's on VH1 looking for a big comeback.

I wanna pull for him, but come on, Adrian Zmed is on that show. And there's just something in me that is kind of rooting for that Baywatch dude that cooked meth or, oooo ooooh, the "How Do You Talk To An Angel?" guy!! He does seem to be the most "normal" out of the bunch.

But I ask you, what the fuck is normal? I wouldn't know normal if normal walked up to me on the street and said, "Hi, I'm normal, this is what I look like, nice to meet you." I'd be all like, "Get the fuck away from me you creepy fucker."

Hi Everyone, by the way!!!



Hey Mayo,


Who can it be nooooooooow?

Men At Work, dude.

Yes, I totally had the station tuned to some 80's shit this afternoon.

Awwwh, Anon, I'm sorry. I hope you hear from them soon.


Smoke,

That's when they should have told the dude, "Yes, you can do that. The penalty is a beatdown with a cane stalk. Now, how bad do you want them?"


Okay, and can the media just lay off the Travolta's.

Seriously.

Smoke said...

I know! They need to just let it be. The man lost his son. Leave him alone.

ergoproxy said...

we have a customs show like that smoke, amazes me what people think they can get away with, not the big stuff like drugs but they have to tick if they have food, but some will have all sorts of food in their bags and say "oh is that food?" and the customs people say, "if you eat it, it's FOOD!!!!!" I'm sure they would love to add "you fucking idiot!!!"



Hi anon, I hope 10:01 pops in soon, you must miss them



sdock what are they saying about them over there? we just got that it was a seizure this morning, poor guy, and poor family what an awful thing to happen

Amyranth said...

Hallo Allo?

sdock10 said...

Ergo,

It's all over the the TV here. Nancy Grace is dedicating an entire show to the story tonight. There are rumors that John and Kelly will be interviewed by police, blah, blah, blah. They are saying there might not have been any "fall" at all, just the seizure.

It just seems a bit intrusive to me. I know that they are both stars and all, but really, is this stuff we need to know? Is this stuff that we are entitled to know?

ergoproxy said...

sdock no it isn't, but as long as people tune in or buy magazines they'll milk it for all it's worth
It is a real shame but society seems to be turning into a place where people think they have the right to know everything they want about everyone, and also have the right to broadcast their lives in awful reality tv shows as well .
Ben Elton's book Blind Faith doesn't seem that far fetched!



Hi Amy!!
I bought that big ridged grill yesterday with xmas money, used it last night,worked great :D

Goodnight Anon! :D

Hallo Ergo! So the steak turned out good then?

ergoproxy said...

it was only topside but I grilled it then thinly sliced it into a napolitana sauce and had it over pasta, turned out lovely.

Amyranth said...

Oooh yum.

You keep cooking like that and I'm going to show up on your doorstep one day!

What'd you get for Hubby?

sdock10 said...

So true, Ergo. I don't know. I guess there's just a fine line between being curious and concerned and just being creepy, pushy, and fucking way out of line about the whole thing.

Let me tell ya, I don't envy celebrities one bit. Not in this day of 24 hour news, internet, stalkerazzi, and youtube.
They don't make enough xanax to get me through that shit.

ergoproxy said...

oh I agree sdock, it is so intrusive


Amy I got him some clothes and some stuff for camping, but I have on order a Goodies shirt, which I had a hard time finding, as he loves them, and turns out the world fanclub guy is in Australia! He has no idea I'm getting it for him heehee
should be here in a week or so, the guy will be posting it today or tomorrow

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

Hope everything is okay wherever you are...out there, in there, back there, somewhere, anywhere, here, there, everywhere, up there, round there, or down there.

Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed now and see if I can't have another crazy dream about going to a Celine Dion concert in high school gym. Maybe tonight I will get to hear the theme from Titanic and I'll get backstage passes and Kathy Griffin will be there.

Cereal for supper and crazy dreams FTMFW!

It was cheese cake and Coca Cola tonight, so maybe I will get the complete Vegas show. Hey, a girl can dream, right? Indeed.

Rest easy, Mayo. Remember, it's 2009 and we ain't gonna sweat this small shit.

Unless...

It's near a beach where the humidity can be like 999% and it's totally okay to sweat.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. both refreshing and relaxing.

the british tv show from the 70's. you haven't seen it???
I grew up watching it, it is really funny

this is the theme song

Amyranth said...

Hey, BC, did you find your twins?

ergoproxy said...

and another version

Amyranth said...

I have never seen that ever. Now, I must find it!

Amyranth said...

Be back, gonna take a bath.

Hallo Amy and Ergo.

Amy, I did, but they keep slipping ^_^

ergoproxy said...

oh you must!!! It is just mostly very silly, lol they still show it on our pay tv here, as far as I know there is only one series on DVD though, it's a traevsty!! Lots on youtube though.

HI BC

Anonymous said...

Hiya ergo :)

I'm gonna be going back and forth

Amyranth said...

Okay, back and squeaky!

So, Ergo, you say it's from the 70's?

ergoproxy said...

it was Amy It was a staple of my childhood, I grew up on a lot of brit comedy shows, it used to be on in the evening and we all watched it, they have repeats on all the time and we still watch them, I also have some recordings of a show called "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" that they did earlier with John Cleese etc
They knew all the Monty Python guys and the comedy is similar though more sketch than surreal. Kids all watched it but it is a bit naughty now I see it as an adult!

Amyranth said...

LOL, It's the same with The Muppet Show. It isn't until you watch it through an adult's eyes that you realize the jokes that you missed as a kid!

ergoproxy said...

oh yes, it is really great comedy that can have that double layer and not slip into unsuitable
I saw a ventriloquist David Strassman who has a bear called Ted E Bear as well as Chuckie perform his adult show, then at a big open day thing had Ted E bear do a kids show and it was just as hilarious

ergoproxy said...

well how about that, just doing some goggling and Graham Gardens son has been the live show keyboardist in the Scissor Sisters

Amyranth said...

Really? The Scissor Sisters? That's pretty cool.

I just started reading about a movie here called The Lovely Bones, it was originally a book, and it sounds pretty good. I really ought to get to the library more often.

Anonymous said...

Hallo Amy

Amyranth said...

Hallo Again BC!

How're you doing tonight?

ergoproxy said...

I need to hit my library again soon too, but I have some books I got from neighbours who moved to read

I am cooking lasagne at the moment Amy, wanna come over?

Amyranth said...

*checks her watch*

Hmm... I dunno. How long does your lasagne take? I have to be to work in 9 hours.

ergoproxy said...

it could be done....though we'll need some form of supersonic propulsion

Amyranth said...

Well, you're the scientist. Just let me know when you're ready.

*tucks a napkin into her shirt, and picks up her fork*

I'm doing alright amy, thanks.

And you?

Not too bad BC. Having a hard time fighting off this cold though.

So, I think I'm gonna take off. Try and get more than 6 hours of sleep tonight.

I ma cooking the meat sauce for lasagne, it's my hubby's birthday choice for dinner
The plan is he is going to make the pasta with our girl when he gets home, then I'll make the cheese sauce, assemble and voila!!

I have a bottle of wine from one of the wineries we visited chilling too, crack out the good stuff!

TJ update

Getting ready to check out from here tomorrow & head back up to the city proper. Perplexed, however: when did my suitcase shrink? 20 minutes ago

good luck TJ!

miranth said...

BC - I am enjoying the music myself, though I have recently become addicted. I like Lacuna Coil a lot too and I know you are a fan of theirs, if I remember correctly? Some music is better for readings - and I tend to like the 'goth' kind. I still haven't read for Cleo, but another friend consulted me (I sound important :) SO I'll try to get back here if I can. Its good to see you about though! I miss you lots!~ and *hugs* giant ones :)

ergo - it sounds (and smells :) delicious and wish Dangerhands happy b-day from me. He is a Capricorn? I think you are both earth signs - which is auspicious.

Shit, I now sound like a phone psychic! I should charge people for this shit! :D

Sweet Dreams elena!

BC - The moving went well. It was just a short hop. I am missing the wireless internet a lot, though! :( I still get to see the kids, so that's all good.

I may be moving further south soon - well fairly so.

Miss you bunches, too!

ergo - I've heard that too. Don't forget to relax and enjoy the moment!

Goodnight!

Mayo - thanks for the space!

:) I always appreciate it even if I forget to say so.

♥ Everybody!

ergoproxy said...

goodnight BC and Miranth
sweet dreams

Mayo
guess what I had for dinner! A very yummy lasagne, probably one of the nicest we've made. It is often a fanily affair, I make the sauces, hubby makes the pasta with help(?) from our daughter lol. Have you had lasagne with fresh pasta? totally beats the instant dried stuff, and cooks a lot quicker. I also make a think cheese sauce, I know some people use ricotta or god forbid lOW FAT! but it just isn't the same. It's not a diet food, that is the whole point, lordy if you can't just enjoy good food and good wine what's the point? Moderation is the key, denial just breeds problems. So bet that was interesting for you to read, lol
Wishing you appetite, gourmet fare, good home cooking and the satisfaction that comes with a beautiful meal
much love EP xx


SS
Do you like lasagne? There are a lot of different types too, often think I should try some of the variations, but then I do love the original. Look out Garfield, I'd fight that fuzzy lardball to the death for lasagne. I hope you have a food you just adore. well more than one, I have quite a substantial list actually.
Sending you olives, sun-dried tomatoes and marinated artichoke hearts, nothing like a little antipasta!
lotsa love EP xx


goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥

Pickled Possum said...

'morning everyone! =)
Hi Mayo. Hi SS. Hi Bloggies. Hi Anons.

616,
It's sounding like a return trip, next year, may be on the cards for you! Will be looking forward to hearing more about The Jade when you return. =)

FASFC,
Nice new rhythm to your name there, Far! And as much as our little ones are the beat of our heart, the relief when holidays are over!!

Elena!!!
Miss you.

Ergo,
LOL at the possum stores! I have no shame being associated with possum nipple warmers! =)

Fimmy,
I've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but never heard of proof of a kind heart on your bum! =)
I hope you aren't too stiff today.

Kapunua,
Bugger me! I missed your first day at Uni! >_< I hope it went well for you.

And what do you think about Bush making all those Marine Reserves!!?
Black smokers are so darn important it's great that someone has finally acknowledged their role in the foodchain and the health of the oceans.
Our bastard Government wants to explore our smokers, for mineral exploration - and US companies are queuing up! >_<
*sore point*

And speaking of things marine, I'm off to see a Great White shark get dissected tomorrow.
They're a protected species in our waters, as in Australia, but if they get caught accidentally in nets, as in the case of this one, they are passed over immediately to the Department of Conservation for research purposes.
Second sore point - set netters on the West Coast, where the shark was caught! No thought for the critically endangered Maui's Dolphins that end up getting caught in the same nets. >_<

Maybe I should knock off the mint sauce, and head back to Coke Zero, and mallow. ;)

Elena!!!
Miss you.

Hi PJ!

Right. Time to zoom.

See you. =)

"No one speak to me! Please I need some peace and quiet or my head will explode!!"

quizzical looks from the little people, followed by "Mummy, yah di dah di blah blah blah!"

*bangs head repeatedly against wall*

Mr Bloke intervenes, "Kids leave mummy alone or her head will explode!!"

all a bit too much!!

anyway no time left after my wander round blogbelieve! so i hope everyone has pleasant days/nights!

Mayo,

Did you know there were 4 Cs to happiness? What? I know. It's crazy. Wait, that's not one of the Cs though. Here I was looking for the "keys" to happiness and the whole while it's been the Cs.

And here they are:

Conversation, company, challenges, and commitment...which change the contents of our consciousness. For simplicity's sake, we can call the four C's "causes" and they way in which they change the contents of our consciousness "effects".

Ummm....okay, wow!! I'm quoting that from a book that is supposed to help me fulfill my soul's potential and liberate me.

I should probably stop mocking it then, huh?

I mean...who doesnt want a liberated fulfilled happy soul?

I have my doubts, but I guess it does give me something to think about.

But in the words of the great Jack White...You can't take the effect and make it the cause.

And that's my psycho new age spiritual babble for you this morning.

I know, you could have just had the Fruit Loops, but this is so much more _______.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. You fill in the blank.

Smoke said...

Hey Mayo! Hey SS! Hey everybody!

It sure is quiet these days. :(

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday so far. My friend from Germany just came by to see me. I haven't seen her in 2 years! I am so happy! I actually gave her the comic book that I got her last year for Christmas and was too lazy to mail. Bwahaha!

Well, see you guys later!

GUYYYSSSSS!

This college medical stuff is, like, all hard and stuff. I have homework with filling in labels and using fancy names for stuff.

WTF?

AND I have to buy my own damn hospital gowns. What's with that?

But it's great, I'm doing something, having to engage my brain for something other than writing and physical stuff; I just need to remember how to do that.

Chemistry is hard, what-with the math junk and all, but it's easier than it was when I tried to learn it as a kid.

The drive to the school this morning was an hour and a half, but I have my new iPod and I left it in shuffle, so that was okay.

And I have Kung Fu tonight, so I just hope I'm not asleep by 8. :)

K sounds like they're working you hard,each year I had chem, botany and zoology classes that were 2 hrs of lecture and 3 hr pracs. But I only did 1st year chem as it wasn't a major and anything else was included in the subjects. You get used to it, and pracs were the most fun.
and for PP - we dissected a shark as part of physiology, only the common dog shark though, a great white would be fantastic to see!
K I to a couple of anatomy pracs with a friend (the lecturer didn't mind lookers, as long as you kept out of her way) absolutely fascinating!, her lecturer was Dr Blood, lovely woman with the most appropriate name ever!!!

mornin' all as well, Mayo and SS hows it going?

'member going to see Tommy "Wildfire" Rich? We were so scared to get that autograph and we got the big life-sized poster!! It hung up right beside Jon Bon Jovi...(who I heard on the radio tonight along with Def Leppard, good times)

We would growl....

I miss the Midnight Rockers....awwwh... Rock on, AWA.

I miss "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

Ohhhhh yeahhhhhh.

Muwahaha! And the Nature Boy.

Ric Flair was the man.

And to be the man, you gotta beat the man.

My ex wanted to be professional wrestler, he definitely had the the body for it.

Smoke said...

Oh! Oh! And Larry Zabisco! Remember him? I think that's how you spell his name. O_o

It's all a big show now. There's hardly any matches at all. They talk too damn much. I do like watching Jeff Hardy do the Swanton Bomb.

OOooooohh, Larry!! Yahhhyyusss! I do, I do remember him. Oh goodness, now I have to google him.

Wasn't Macho Man the Slim Jim Dude?

"Snap into a Slim Jim*

Lex Luger, Ricky Morton, Dusty Rhodes, Mullet-wearing Shawn Michaels, Jimmy "Super Fly" Snuka....

In honor of Ric Flair...

"Wooooooooo"

ergoproxy said...

I used to watch WWF all the time, but now it's more about the talk than the actual fighting

sdock10 said...

I stand corrected.

It was a roll of "dimes".....ooops, my bad!

Thanks, Larry!

Smoke said...

Awww, Ergo! She wants some lovin'!!! ^_^

Yep, Solly. He was the Slim Jim dude. Oh, and remember the Million Dollar Man? Ted DiBiase?

Hahaha! I remember him on Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous.

Smoke said...

I will forever be a Shawn Michaels girl. Dude's going bald now but he's still cool. ^_^


Off to shower! Be back later!

Amyranth said...

Ergo, is it "downward dog"? She might think you're trying to play with her.

sdock10 said...

Larry Zbysko killed my DSL...WTF?

Yeah, I'm off to shower too.

Ergo, I agree with Smoke, Kitty just wants some lovin'. You could even event a whole new Kitty yoga move.


Mayo, Do a dropkick.

ergoproxy said...

smoke I think so it's raining and she isn't impressed

amy maybe it was too much downward dog, not enough cat lift!

Smoke said...

I bet SS could pull off a Swanton Bomb. Or a Five-Star Frog Splash.
Couldn't you, SS? Hahaha!

Oh, I totally spelled Larry's name wrong. I effed it up royally.

Gah!

sdock10 said...

What? Did I spell his name right? Because if I did, it was pure luck. Dude killed my internet, I certainly wasn't going to look him up again.

Actually, it was Myspace that killed it. I wouldn't want Larry to get all mad at me for trash-talkin him like that and hunt me down with a roll of nickels.

sdock10 said...

Sorry for the interruption but this song by this band is so fuckin' good that it makes oooze emotion....

Blue Veins

I want to crawl inside this song and just die there. And then, every single time it was played, I would be born again.

I wear glittery nail polish mostly, I think that's why it bothers me. Also, the glitter stops shining after awhile.

However, you can't beat the rock-hard nails you have when you wear it.

Great, now I'm thinking about putting on nail polish.

Whooooohooooo! Yay! Stuffs! Thank you, Big Sis! ♥

Hee-hee.

You can't be a pimp and a prostitue too!

Oh! That would be soooo cool on my bulletin board at work. Right beside my pics of Frank, Stewie, Tony and my INSOMNIA/COCAINE energy drink sticker. I don't think that would go over too well though. They just do tolerate the other stuff. ^_~

hey anon, I have only seen little bits of that show, but to me, the type of woman who would go on that show, is unlikely to be a stable partner anyway!
I saw a clip of Scream Queens on the Soup last night (that's where I see most reality stuff) and this woman was auditioning and in the scene a guy says somthing, like he's a judge and she ad libbed huskily "I think you should check this evidence.." *unties and removes bathrobe to be naked* "and by 'evidence' I mean vagina"
THEN asks the guys if they noticed her eye contact!!
WTF!! not where they were looking!!
