this morning my friend rode his harley right up on the front lawn and revved until i came outside. that was my alarm today. might have pissed off my neighbors, but it made me happy.

making giant cookies out of the batter stuck to the bowl at the end and adding all the extra M&Ms inside/on top
also, just baking in general. it makes me feel good. wish i liked more things so i could expand my baking ouevre beyond the basics. although the french silk pie i made from scratch with an oreo crust a while back was pretty impressive.

@eversonpoe oh my god I stopped baking a while ago because I've tried to cut all sugar that isn't from natural stuff like fruit out of my diet and I miss the process of it so much. It never failed to make me feel like some magical elf or something. Just the smell it fills a house with is the most soothing, therapeutic, relaxing thing. Somehow it has none of the pressure other cooking does for me.
And that thing looks amazing! Would totally buy it.

the trick is to bake for other people! i packed more than half the cookies i made today into ziplocs to give to various people, leaving my wife and i with only 17 of the 58 cookies i made. (although i also ate 4.5 of the 41 other cookies)

Oh! IS IT?????????? So where's my cookie then?
she/her/hers
i tried to ship cookies to australia once. i vacuum packed them and took great care. and they arrived all in crumbs, and stale. i don't know why. but some day, i will find a way to send you some cookies. SOME DAY, MY FRIEND.
(p.s. i don't even remember WHY i owe you a cookie haha)

The why isn't important, just the cookie

Start date for new job finally came through today
I was nobody. Nothing.
the x files is finally here (on sunday, right?)
she/her/hers
yup.
my wife and i had a REALLY hard time getting through the second movie. it took us five or six different sittings over the course of TWO WEEKS because it was so...i don't think "bad" is the right word. but it wasn't good. it was really uncomfortable, and really dark, and lacked the playfulness and levity of the series (and the first movie), which would persist even through dark episodes. plus, mulder got rid of his beard halfway through (booooooo he was SO HOT with the beard), and scully's b-plot was SO DEPRESSING.
anyway, i'm happy we finished it so now we can watch the new series, even though it seems like we would have been perfectly fine skipping it.
I was nobody. Nothing.
yeah it was fucking ROUGH
I was nobody. Nothing.
i got that Kabbalah for Beginners in the mail ( @allegro )
and also Infinite Jest.

My son, who just turned 2 years old, likes to put things on his head.
Two days ago he started babbling about how his toy diggers and other machines have "motors" in them. Who knows where kids pick these things up.
Yesterday he put a bulldozer on his head, and said, "Motorhead!" about 10 times.
My wife said that on his way to daycare today, he said, "Daddy says Motorhead!" several times.
Somewhere, Lemmy is smiling as broadly as me.

My fiancé and I have been worried about our 18 month old daughter's leg for a while. We took her for an X-ray (I had to hold her down while she bawled her eyes out and I wore something that looked like a butcher's apron to keep away the radiation), and we went to the doctors and got the results. Turns out nothing is wrong. Big relief!

In the past week, I've received an award from the Delaware Governor's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) council for my work in education as well as a nomination from my school as a candidate for teacher of the year. Pretty grateful.

working on a new set of mixes for my band's new album. the first song, "blue turtle yoga" never fails to put me in a good mood. the verse is in 7/4, the lyrics are about Sting and they're RIDICULOUS, and it's just a really great song.
Captain Rustleboots
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

hahahahaha nope
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
blue turtle yoga. c'mon. don't you know that sting's first solo album is called "the dream of blue turtles" and that he's really big into yoga?
Down, but not out.
Burger King from time to time, even if I shouldn't have it as much as I've used to, as it reminded me of some of my nostalgic and sentimental childhood and teenage memories. It really was my introduction to fast food, and I've been there way more than McDonald's. I also love how the local Burger King restaurants around my way never seemed to show any signs of slowing down or going away. They were always in the same exact locations. Only time will tell though, but it surprised me to actually see a McDonald's come and go before a Burger King.
Oh yes, and Dunkin' Donuts. I love going there for breakfast too.

hey @allegro i didn't know where to put this, but thanks for the book recommendation. it was a trip, although i STILL don't know if i can handle the Ten Sefirot or the Zohar yet.
But i came across something that i thought might interest you, although you probably already know about it" Julian of Norwich's "Revelations of Divine Love." She was an anchoress and christian mystic who had "visions" and some fairly controversial ideas, even by today's standards (the idea of an androgynous or feminine YHVH is one.) It's also believed to be the first book any woman ever wrote in english. She's the one who said "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well."
Reading her book along with the basic Kabbalah treatise has my spirituality on fire again and it feels damn good.
edit: you should check it out too @marodi , but i have a funny feeling i'm telling both of you ladies things you already know

Bite me
Yeah, I'm re-reading a favorite Tibetan Buddhism book and really feel the same way, I really needed it right now, I know what you mean; feels good.
Also cheers me up: have dinner reservations to celebrate Valentine's Day tomorrow G at Tapas Barcelona, one of our fave restaurants, since G has to work on Sunday.
I have a childhood nostalgic attachment to McDonald's because I'm OLD (relative to this board), because it was the first and only fast food place that existed around us at the time and they only had, like, 6 things on the friggin' menu, but we thought it was such a big deal to be able to go, like oh boy, we don't have to eat Mom's dinner at home, whooooo. So I know what you mean. I LOVE Burger King tacos!!
