I don't think I've checked my email in something close to a week. I have over a hundred of them, none of them spam. Dammit.

Haven't read my friends list in all that time either.

My work today is cut out for me, eh? Pleasant work though. :^)

Oooh, I should put on some music.

We've realized, myself and my roomates, (excuse me while I squee about that--SQUEE!) that a lot of people haven't seen Eddie Izzard. Interestingly, Fiona has but her dad, [livejournal.com profile] thorongil8, has not. So we're going to have a party to watch Eddie Izzard and introduce new people to how funny he is. It will be a "Cake or Death?" party. Yes, there will be cake. Probably no death though, although we made jokes about having an unloaded shotgun, or a death-themed cake, or telling people there's arsenic in one of them. Alas, we expect everyone to choose cake. So we have to make some cakes. *giggle*

Anyway. Off to read email and make pancakes.

There used to be war harps. No shit. When the Romans were still trying to get into the British Isles, people would take huge harps, strung with gut and ten feet tall, and drag them to the top of windy hills and leave them there. The wind blowing through the strings sounded really spooky and occasionally succeeding in freaking out Roman armies.

*giggle*

ExpandDetails on my Planned Parenthood appointment. )

After my appointment I went to Uwajimaya's. Mmm...seaweed. Among other things, I also bought a can of coconut milk. I stopped by People's and got some agave syrup too. And now I have a can of coconut milk, half as much agave syrup, and about half a cup of mashed up raspberries, in the freezer. I figure I'll take it out every half hour or so and stir or shake it, and in theory I should have something similar to that Coconut Bliss stuff, except for less than half as much money, especially since it came out to more than a pint. *crosses fingers*

Also started pressing a block of tofu. Stir fry for dinner sounds yummy to me. And a convienent way to use up some of the odds and ends left over from last week's CSA pick-up.

Still catching up on my email etc. Oy freaking vey. Also: dishes. And possibly laundry.

I just came across this meme in [livejournal.com profile] glitterninja's journal (yes, I am that far behind--only 140 posts left!) and am repeating it. It was just too damn funny.

In this post, talk with your icons, and *only* your icons.

Post early, post often, and respond to whomever you want. Just leave a dot or a dash in the comment field if LJ tells you you can't post a blank comment.

Ugh. I hate coming into arguments halfway through. I feel like it's too late to put in my two cents. :^( Also, it's hard not to feel defensive, sometimes, on another person's behalf. It's like, that has nothing to do with me. No, really. It doesn't. It's okay. *deep breath*

Anyway.

I was peeling a kohlrabi earlier. I was under the impression that there was no vegetable peeler here, so I was using a small knife. [livejournal.com profile] jenhowell sees me doing this and hands me a peeler. It's serrated and the handle is different than I'm used to. I proceed to peel myself. Twice. Once on my left thumb, another time (and deeper) on my left index finger. Oowweeeee. It hurts. Looks funny too because of the serrated thing. Bled like a mofo. I think I'm going to buy myself a normal vegetable peeler.

On the upside, I made some damn good stirfry. *lol* And watched Lilo and Stitch with [livejournal.com profile] rikell42. That scene where he "runs away" and opens that book and says, "I'm lost..." always makes me cry. Always! Dammit!

Random fact o'the day (credit wikipedia):

Gesundheit is the German word for health. When a person sneezes, Germans typically say Gesundheit! to wish them good health. This expression has found its way into the English language via Ashkenazi Jews who were immigrating in large masses to the United States during the early twentieth century. It is sometimes used instead of the more common "bless you".

It's so much fun to listen to this Jamiroquai album. Flashback to fall of 1997!

The attempt at imitating Coconut Bliss is going...slowly. I stuck it all in there late this afternoon, it's very slowly thickening and parts of it are freezing up, and I'm only checking it every other hour!!

EDIT: Where I peeled my finger is still bleeding and hurts like hell. I took a couple of advil and wrapped a new bandaid around it, tighter than the last one. Here's hoping.
