Fuck This Shit Cake

Today was a day of sitcomesque kitchen disasters. Let’s recap, shall we?
We began with the goal to bake Smitten Kitchen’s Pound Cake. As you can see, this is a cake with a hell of a lot of steps I’m normally not willing to make. From the outset, I’d already made adjustments – cake flour sifted [...]

Nite Owl’s Manicotti

I am a giant nerd, y’all.
A friend and I have spent all day today RPing Watchmen (Nite Owl/Ozymandias, to be specific.  This is my OTP.  Don’t look at me like that.) and the secondary character in this RP ended up being the food.  Specifically, homemade manicotti made in Dan’s kitchen.
Then we finished, and I wrote [...]

Rahm-a-lama

So I have a slightly disturbing and slightly inappropriate crush on Rahm Emanuel.  Yes, that would be the former congressman from Illinois, current chief of staff for the Obama White House, ballet-dancing, swearing and ever so slightly violent Rahm Emanuel.  Hey, I said it was disturbing and inappropriate.  I KNOW.  I just can’t help myself.  [...]

The Day The Earth Stood Still

I saw a trailer for this over the weekend while I was at Quantum of Solace, and it looks like it might be good, but honestly? I only had one real reaction.
Keanu Reeves, starring as the emotionless kind of stoned alien character has not been so perfectly cast since The Matrix.

iPod…zen?

I think my iPod is on the long, slow march to death, as it keeps randomly resetting.
But the interesting this is that it resets when playing the same song.  And while that could just be a corrupted file, the choice of song is kinda…interesting.
The song? “It’s the End of the World as We Know It [...]

Somehow I doubt this is what John McCain had in mind

Just a guess.

Only since 1888.

Today, my boss asked me if we have catalog shopping in the U.S.
I managed to not laugh out loud.

Ths article is depressingly accurate

And it’s from the Onion.
There really IS nothing to do in Moline.  Or Rock Island.  Or Davenport.  Or Bettendorf.
This is why I went to grad school in Madison.  Well, most of the reason.

I have no idea who Lloyd Kaufman is

But this is indisputably the most hilarious interview the AV Club has ever done.  Probably my favorite part is the quote about Oliver Stone:
 Oliver Stone would not be making movies if I didn’t make movies. My roommate and I at Yale made two feature-length movies with a Bolex—which is a wind-up camera, not a social [...]

Ideas That Did Not Occur to Me While Job Hunting

Blackbird Tees has a line of t-shirts that you can print your resume on (on the reverse side of the shirt only). It’s kind of awesome, not that I’d meet employers anywhere I’d be wearing a t-shirt.
Also, I’m somewhat disappointed that “References available upon request” isn’t available as a slogan. (Via PopGadget)
