Everyone’s all, ‘Go to school, learn stuff, it’ll be great,’ but they don’t understand about how I need to bake pumpkin bread and finish reading Dancing with Eternity. And you need to art! What gives, adult world?
i kno right. u-u
I am halfway through - tell me when you’re done! I want to hear what other people think about it. I really...

I haven’t been blogging because I’ve been working on stuff for another blog and then also sitting at my apartment, generally being an unproductive person. Not that tumblring is generally considered productive. Seriously: tomorrow, I start being a human being again, y’all.
But I did make a chicken pot pie, so we have that!

Tension and Tenacity
waffleguppies:
K, who as I may have mentioned several hundred times basically has the best ideas, asked for something along the lines of a Portal/Jane Austen AU for Christmas.
I’m a very slow writer.
I also quickly discovered that I can’t write like Jane Austen. Plus, I tried to historypick this as much as I could, but if I’ve screwed up I’d rather know about it, especially as I might even...

Guys. Double Fine, the crazy mad geniuses behind some of the best games of the last few years, wants help to fund their next project. They’re asking us, the fans, to help them gather the money to create their new game. They want to keep it pure and untainted by the corporates. And I mean, come on. It’s Double Fine, and that’s really all you should have to know.
I would give...

I… what? I can’t read this woman’s artist statement, because it’s in Italian. But Flavorwire says she is asking, “What would have happened if the aesthetic standard of our society had belonged to the collective unconscious of the great artists of the past?” Which is not really a question I feel needs a lot of answering. Because the answer is: they would look like...

This post is not related to video games, but it will improve your life.
Whenever I make something, and it turns out well, I’m tempted to post about it on Facebook and mention that I’m single and available. I figure that’d be a bit tasteless, though, since I’m still friends with several former romantic interests.
So, instead, I will share with you. Here’s the recipe...

Gah! I guess I actually have a couple of followers now! That’s pretty sweet. Kind of unexpected. Tumblr! Who knew? Hello, all.
So that means I feel a little more excited about recommending this story. I’ve been meaning to, but it seemed pointless to recommend it to the few people I knew who…

good to know
Today I learned that, at least for a while, Ellen McClain, the voice of GLaDOS, was also the voice of something called the Honeywell Runway Awareness and Advisory System (she called it the ‘Honeywell Runway Alert System’) which is used in airports all over the world. When approaching the runway, pilots are automatically connected to this system, which informs them of their altitude,...

I am making Portal cupcakes but the cupcake batter overflowed on the vanilla ones and it may have RUINED MY PLAN.
(above: Batman reacts to the recent cupcake news)
But we’ll see. Maybe my plan will work after all. And then there will be pics! Oh yes…. There will be pics.

Well, I was going to write a Serious Post for my Serious Blog today, but then I realized that I don’t have a Serious Blog and that I was probably doing it wrong if I thought I did
And anyway, I got distracted because after I put the pumpkin bread in the oven (seriously the best idea I’ve had lately, and that includes some pretty kick-ass dinners I’ve made lately) people came...

Love brownies. Love their shiny, flaky top that shatters into micro-thin shards that shower onto your fingers as you eat. Love their dark, gooey center. Their “chocolate nirvana” flavor.
Sometimes can’t deal with the bake, wait to cool, cutting into squares messiness and fuss of brownies. Want something I can enjoy within 5 minutes of its exit from the oven....

dear one follower and everyone else

Business or anything, or that i’m really dedicated to reblogging for world peace or anything. i’m just going to try to figure out how to generate some content that i think will be of interest to my friends irl and new...
