Reflections on the Streamys
Last night I had the privilege of attending the awards ceremony and afterparty for the first Streamy Awards. The Streamys were created to honor excellence in web television and the people who sweat blood and tears to create for this new medium with no rules.
During the awards ceremony, I was struck with the feeling that I was watching something unique and beautiful, the beginning of a new era. I...
Slept all morning, made a trip to the Cupcake Challenge, now working off the sugar coma with some Little Big Planet. Today is awesome. :)

Where I’ll be:
Cupcakes might have jumped the shark, but that’s not going to stop us heading to the Renaissance hotel between 1-4pm on Sunday where for just $20 admission there’s the chance to sample 34 different cupcakes from 19 local bakeries including - my personal favorite - Kiss My Bundt. Perhaps the iced mini-bundt is the next big thing?
If you’d sooner go a la carte and trawl...

but as private and as internal and shared between two people as love is, and should be, i think a big part of it is being comfortable showing your love off.
period. it’s fucking normal.
agreed.
totally agreed.
Just found out the new guy in our web dept. is named Lorenzo Hightower. Best. Name. EVER. Sounds like something out of a romance novel.

About two months ago I stepped on a scale and made a decision. I’m neither the first, nor the last person to have a similar reaction in that situation, so I don’t think that really counts as the interesting part of the story - just the catalyst.
My driver’s license says that I’m 5’9” and 155lbs. I haven’t bothered changing it since I got my driver’s license in High School. I’m...
animals that cannot be trusted.
piratekitten:
llamas: spitting, creepy muppet necks.
alpacas: smaller, more concealable llamas.
elephants: trampling, holding grudges (they never forget)
sharks: biting, no bones (VERY suspicious)
seals: blubbery, secretly planning something.
parrots: secretly mocking us through mimicry.
great auks: supposedly extinct, but i know better.

Clone High connection? Oh you...
OH: That just went right in there. Wow, that was easy!
Homemade French Fries
mdfsmash:
Seeing as I’m obsessed with french fries, but everyone wants to cook them in a corn based oil product (I’m allergic to all things corn) and have me dip them in ketchup with corn syrup (organic doesn’t have that problem), I’ve taken matters into my own hands, and I’m making french fries with the ridiculous amount of potatoes I have on hand due to recession prices at the grocery store.

OH: It’s the automotive equivalent of a tango
