1. BUT FIRST! a quiz. ( tarot )

2. Things I have cooked: ( cheesy bread, crepes )
Oh, speaking of cooking! That's what I did ALLLL MORNING today. Chocolate chip pancakes, which turned out a little too dry, maybe because I added some cocoa powder and it absorbed the milk? also I didn't measure the flour too painstakingly I guess. AND the little pumpkin my mum gave me was actually a PIE PUMPKIN! And I didn't make a pie with it, but I did scrape it out (with much elbow-grease) and make PUMPKIN MUSH by stirring its innards up with an egg, condensed milk, sugar, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves), pouring it into casserole dishes, and sticking it in the oven (no, I didn't measure anything here, either). I tried to roast the seeds (sprinkled half with sugar, half with salt, plus various spices on both sides, including cinnamon, chili powder, ginger, curry powder, and I forget what else) but I ended up burning them to a blackened crisp and setting off the smoke alarm and making the kittens hide under the bed. Oops.

3. Star Trek waffles! ( Also, I swear I don't hate Flatmate ALL the time. )
I do wonder how these actors feel about having their faces on waffles, and people eating them. I guess it's probably about the same as having their faces all over any other kind of promotional materials or tie-in merchandise or whatever.

4. Downtown LA and the opera costume shop sale: ( graffiti, a van, and fangirling a professor )

5. Travel fun: ( my commentary on a packet of peanuts )
I also had some napkins that were pretty great, but I have mislaid them. I really hope I didn't leave them tucked inside Dorian Gray when I returned it to the library :\

6. And some random stuff! ( YAAAAAY )

COMING UP NEXT: EPIC KITTEN PICTURES POST. (srsly, EPIC.)

BUT FIRST! btw that concert tonight? ( THIS: )

how did it become 2:30?

anyway. ( quizzes. because it's been a while. )

Anyway, there are several people that I've been supposed to write letters to and haven't. Fail.
Also, I've been lying around in bed super late and neglecting errands and chores (my desk is still empty, and all the stuff that's supposed to be in it in boxes), and it has made me late to work more than once. Fail.
And I've probably been watching Too Much Telly of late... but Torchwood is having a 5-night miniseries event! And we I have some 30 episodes of NCIS unwatched on the DVR (which Flatmate may not know how to use yet but honestly it's not my responsibility to train her in the new technology -- if she lacks the initiative to bloody figure it out or learn from the manual, that's her loss. it's not like it's counterintuitive or anything)! None of which is an excuse for me to get fuck-all done in the evenings as well as the mornings. Fail.
And I talked about social engagements with some people on Sunday/Monday and then I didn't do a thing to make them happen. Fail.

On the other hand, I walked to the DMV on Monday morning and was early to work that afternoon and did my laundry that night. Productivity FTW!
Aaaaaand people keep telling me that my haircut is good. It makes me happy. Cute hair FTW. Even if I can't always figure out what it wants, and I can't really pull off the "vamp" look anymore (it's ded of cute).

Which Torchwood Character Are You? Your Result: Ianto Jones   You most resemble the team's composed, sarcastic general support. Passionate but excellent at hiding it under a reserved exterior, you care deeply about people and have a hard time letting go. The downside of keeping such a tight leash on your external emotions is that sometimes you lose control and have to let it all out. Competent and hard-working, you like to be on top of things.

...and which lesser Harry Potter character are you?

Congrats! You're Gryffindor alumnus Bill Weasley!

You know you're cool when even the kid who defeated Voldemort thinks so. You have a disposition that attracts people to you as friends and allies. And it's not just your outward appearance - under all your coolness, you're smart enough to be Head Boy/Girl, too.

(Your moment of glory - so far, at least - came in Goblet of Fire when Harry Potter declared your undeniable ponytail-wearing cool factor.)

fuck yes!
