The lime curd I just made is darn near perfect, if I do say so myself. Putting it in a tart for a dinner party tomorrow at Casa del McLovin.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

My brother was feeling really down because it's his 25th bday and the first since our mum died.
He said he really missed the crappy birthday cakes she used to make.

Thought you had a brother named Arsel for a second there, then I got it. Awesome!

AGE OF ULTRON WAS GORRAM AWESOME.

Truly.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

A family friend is graduating from college today. His nickname is "Charmander", which is one of the Pokemon.

I was tasked with the makings of a graduation card for him and came up with this.

I also bought a print from the original artist of the Tim Burtonized Pokemon, Vaughn Pinpin, whose store can be found at society6.com/hatboy

I am counting the hours til I get home..My Dr. Strangelove, dvd is sitting in front of my house right now awaiting me. My last one strangely disappeared from my movie collection and it has taken me entirely too long to replace it. Woohoo!

I went out on a few dates with a woman who worked in the state water department - specifically in the division that handles the fluoridation of the water. Part of her job - as the last one hired onto the job - was answering phone calls regarding the people who objected to fluoridation of water.

That pushed this woman to become INCREDIBLE at handling whatever batshit insane thing anyone said to her and getting people to calm down and consider things in a new light.

But the point of my story is that to this day, FIFTY-ONE years after that brilliant movie came out (and many scientific studies performed), people still get really bonkers about fluoridation of water.

I'm putting together a playlist for my son's 2nd birthday party tomorrow and I'm listening to it as I make it.

Just had Vanilla Ice's Ninja Rap followed by the Darkwing Duck theme song, and now listening to Don Cooper's Saltypus. :headbang:

I bet she had some hilarious stories. Everyone should have at least one job dealing with Joe public. I still have flashbacks from the calls I had to answer at a nature park I worked at for a couple of years.
What do you mean bonkers? Studies funded by who, that's the question! hehe Posted Image
