Brr.

( I'm dreaming of a white christmas. )

( It's cold, and I'd rather still be in bed. )

I haven't done any christmas presents for anyone, yet. Bleh.

vaxjo gave us a grilled sammich maker as a housewarming present, and I tried it out last night. And it worked! Hooray for melty sammiches in five minutes with no messy pan. Especially with avocadoes in.

Even though we are all moved in, ostensibly, I haven't located the box with my Glow in the Dark Star Mobile and my blue lights and my candle holder and my Eeyore bank and my witchy lady. It's gotta be somewhere. Probably in the oubliette, except I haven't forgotten about it yet.

I think that's quite enough babble for now.

Hey, alisgray, check it out! Kids' forensic facial reconstruction kit!


...I'm really, really feeling productive today.

Boy. It's really frighteningly easy to buy things online, sometimes.

But, anyway, I have one christmas present done now, and I think it is good. Hee hee hee.



...did I mention how hard I'm working today?

baked goods for the easily amused

...and then vaxjo might be amused to know this next thing. After making machined cheeze sammiches for dinner, I was craving sweet baked goods. I thought it might be nice to make some cookies. Except I don't have very much margarine, not even a whole stick, and I wasn't feeling ambitious enough to fix that. But I did have a whole unopened box of biscuit mix (I like biscuit mix, even if it's sort of cheating). And so I mixed up a test batch of biscuit mix, except I used chocolate soy milk, because I have some, and I put in a little bit of sugar too. And then I spooned it into my little iron and made two perfect-sized faux-chocolate scone-y things that were just enough crispy on the outside and just enough smooshy on the inside. IN FIVE MINUTES.

I do fear it going the way of bread machines or the diatribe in Spaced and become a little used and somewhat forgotten appliance someday, but I've probably already gotten enough amusement out of it to make it worthwhile.

I also made some bleepy loops with the game boy, which didn't involve the sammich maker at all.

The end.
