How to cook a perfect prime rib.
Here is the recipe.

Part of an excellent series of posts by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt.

Tiger at Oyster Creek? It's possible there's a tiger skulking around Brazoria County. Of course, it might be a cougar...although they're pretty scarce around here. You'd probably have a better chance of seeing a tiger in Texas than a cougar. Heck, these days there are more tigers in the state of Texas than there are in India.

I love having my Flickr account finally restored, sorted, et cetera after they royally cocked it up for me. Long story, not interesting.

But it's totally back and tagged and sorted and everything.

Delightful.

A TOAST!!!

So I picked up a copy of Labs with Abs for our friend Turtle for Christmas--it's so absurd that I figure a dog owner would appreciate it, particularly one with a sense of humor.

The universe--and MitchKenzo--responded by getting a copy of the Labs with Abs: Abs of Egypt calendar for self and Whines.

This brings up the question: Am I secure enough in my masculinity/okay with furry stuff enough to hang this one at work? :) I'm so borderline on being openly gay/openly furry that things like this feel more threatening than they actually are.

Dear fanfic writers everywhere,

Not everyone will call their significant other pet names like "Honey", "Dear", "Sweetheart", and "Darling". Some people won't even use pet names at all. Others will only use them when they're mocking or teasing their other (and sometimes better) half. A few will try to use them, feel ridiculous, and cut themselves off halfway through.

So please, for the love of whatever god you believe in, actually put some thought into those loving scenes between your favorite pairings.

Vonnix.

If you're able to view BBC Iplayer and have the slightest interest in traditional music, then please go and watch this without further ado.

The highlight of the session for me (apart from the serious eye candy) is Bellowhead's booming rendition of The Mistletoe Bough, which for those who don't know is a jolly old English Christmas song about tragedy, suffocation, death and decomposition. It starts at 16.23 if you want to skip to it.

( I'd recommend listening to the song unspoilt, but the lyrics are under the cut if you want to read them. )

I'm wondering if any of you lovely folk have heard of this event:  The Quest for Father Time! According to the website, it will take place on New Year's Eve in the following cities:
Chicago, IL
Honolulu, HI
Nashville, TN
Philadelphia, PA
Richmond, VA
Washington, DC

Unfortunately, it is damn near impossible to find a sitter to watch our two year old on New Year's eve, so my husband and I cannot attend.  However, several of our friends will be going to the Chicago event dressed in Steampunk attire.

Hey Everyone,
I recommend reading the journal BEFORE watching the film. here is a link if you want to view it in another window, if not, the embedded version is below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAfdm1PJSPk
The other day, the gang and I got a chance to experiment with a new still camera that shoots 1080p HD video.
I was given a day or two for prep, came up with this silly idea for an Over the Top funny steampunk short and 15 hours later here we are.
The Video was shot in 5 hours and edited in ten.
Please keep in mind when watching that this was just a fun project for me and the crew from Penny Dreadful Productions.

I understand it's not the greatest quality, there tons of continuity issues, awful lighting issues, and shaky camera moves, but hopefully everyone will enjoy it regardless.
The whole shoot in general was a real obstacle.

If this project were a real serious one i would hide this video from the eyes of any viewer, but This was just meant to be a fun experience, and a learning opportunity for shooting with the new cam, so all in all i'm happy with the results, even if they aren't to my usual standard.

Anyways here it is Steampunk'd

HAVE YOU SEEN TRANSFORMERS 2 YET?
BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME.

FUCK THE NAYSAYERS. IT HAS JETFIRE. AND STUFF.

I love dump cake the day it's made. The cake top is slightly crisp and yummy. However, after a day or so, it get soft and gooey, which may appeal to some, but to me, not so much.

Anyone have any alternate suggestions? Or ideas for chocolate cake and blueberries (I use blueberries instead of cherries in my dump cake)?

Inspire me, fellow trashters!

Every year I post the first line of the first entry of each month. It's a great way to look back on the year.

January: I'm working on something.

February: I have had the flu for the last 2 weeks.

March: I made the mistake of reading The Hellfire Club. (Has this man produced ANYTHING interesting since "The Blue Rose"?)

April: We are currently seeking emergency rental help. The job market in Lafayette is hot--if you're in the medical or oilfield sectors. We are not.

May: I installed a light in Nama's closet. I will now go and wash and detail her car.

June: I finished the hooded afghan for my little neice. brujahmama also made a nice little crib blanket. It's a 1950's style pink-and-black number, detailed in seafoam and white. Very pretty.

July: I scheduled my classes for next semester, and I think I might faint.

August: I finished the Coulter. It was horrifying.

September: Belated happy birthday to forgetfulduck and ici1011, both very awesome and both born on the same day.

October: HAPPY BIRTHDAY voodooqueen1980!!!

November: Grammer finally passed away on October 29th after a long fight with dementia. We're going to be in Kenner for the next day or so, then graveside in Oak Grove.

December: I just missed my last day of classes. My temperature is a steady 101. For someone who usually hovers around 96-97, this is Not Good. I am very pissed at my body right now.

I'm not going to say that I hope 2010 doesn't suck. I'll just say that I hope it sucks in a novel way.

Alderbest,
