Everyone needs someone to tell them this every now and then: Did you know that the first week of October was National Mental Illness Awareness Week? No? I did. How did I find this out? The Bloggess told me, as only as she can. I just gave you the punch line, if you appreciate it, go read the post, she is the best kind of crazy. I'm guessing that the parades for this week aren't quite as raucous as some other 'holidays', but I would imagine the party drugs could be some of the best … [Read more...]
It’s that time of year…
Upon the conclusion of the TV hijacking from the first 2 of 3 different codes of 'sports played by men, with a ball of nearly identical proportions' that are on this weekend ... RJ: So tomorrow there are only two more games I want to watch. JJ: ... [crickets] ... I foresee more baking in the near future. I should be thankful he doesn't watch America-land college ball. At least I'll get a short break before 'sports played by men with a bat for 1-5 days, sometimes ending in a … [Read more...]
Getting stoned for my birthday…
...with the full support of RJ at that. Now we're not talking about dodgy dorm-room or public-park stoned, this was high-class fancy stuff, and well worth the cost. It involved slightly trippy music, the feeling of floating and a fair bit of nudity...and afterward I had a massive bout of dry mouth, it took hours to come down, and I was starving. I highly recommend it to everyone. What to ask for? Hot.Stone.Massage. Ha! The Aveda Day Spa in Paddington is where I went to get my fix, compliments … [Read more...]
New fangled technology
I've recently decided to manage my photos slightly differently on the site. So in the hunt for a decent plug-in to pull the Flickr stream through [including 2 false starts with two of the top rated ones] there has been a bit of a delay on posting! Pretty pics soon but for now, a reasonably amusing phone conversation that I had recently with a person who shall remain nameless [sort of]... [JJ] 'Hi m-m" [M] 'Hi, did you get my text messages the other day?' - 'Nope' 'Oh darn, they … [Read more...]
It’s not that I’m not thinking about you…
...I have been, really, but most of my free time not in the office [ie the job that buys the groceries and plane tickets] has been spent finishing up the packaging art for @ThePantry [!!!!!!!!!!] and not cooking, or taking pictures or doing blog posts. So instead here is some random stuff and stream of consciousness and what's been happening updates, just because.... It has been bloody cold here. The mornings hover around 8 degrees [mid-40s or so] but THERE IS NO INDOOR HEATING in most … [Read more...]
Delicious bacon tied in a windsor knot
This just landed: I had to open it to see what on earth the offer was. Seriously can't stop laughing. This is hysterical. If I ate bacon I would totally buy it. I wonder if this is what inspired GaGa. … [Read more...]
Reconsider everything…
There are so many directions this could head in but I'm going to go with: What-ever will the vegans eat now? Cannibals! Heathens! Please excuse me while I go make a Banana Smoothie. … [Read more...]
