1. What really happens to a McDonald's Burger when you leave it out proves that time lapse cats are funneh. (h/t [livejournal.com profile] emquilxy)

2. Okay. Uhm. Yeah. I got nothing. Oh wait! PHOTODUMP!

Stout and Cheddar Rarebit with Fried Eggs. )

3. ME: I should just stop you right now before you proceed to the bank with a business plan where you have liberally sprinkled the word “awesome.”
FLAPJACKS: Why don’t banks like things that are awesome?
ME: They just don’t.


Seriously, Flapjacks is Tianyu and Chris is me.

4. I just megauploaded a .rar file of GBS songs. If you want it shoot me an email. It's all shit from The Hard and the Easy and earlier.

I HAD SEX WITH GARETH DAVID LLOYD ON A SINK AT DRAGON*CON AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY MANICURE:



Yes, this sums up my whole D*C experience nicely. )

That was my big fat D*C exp. Seriously, few panels, lots of booze, tonnes of food, great people, EXCELLENT CONVERSATIONS, and a renewed sense of writing. I WILL WRITE THAT FPREG. IT WILL BE AWESOME.

OH AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A SEASON TO AIR THIS FALL.

Oh, and Jack and Ianto's post-it D*C adventure )

BUT FOR NOW, my dad is out of surgery, and I'm waiting to hear how he is, and I have plans to make biscotti with cabernet cocoa powder, and possibly some cupcakes.

I dreamt about biscotti last night.

I made a list of shit to do divided by pages: on page per category, house, work, online, general, errands, etc. IT'S NINE PAGES LONG.

See ya'll on the flip side.

EDIT: I bought their Netherworld Blend and the Reanimator Blend. The latter is great. Haven't tasted the firmer. Go there and browse the teas and coffees.
amand_r: (COFFEE)
I SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. NOT ONLY THAT BUT I WOKE UP AT 8:30 TURNED OVER AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP UNTIL 11 AM.

WHAT CAUSED THIS MINOR MIRACLE? BITE GUARD.

IT IS CONCLUSIVE. GRINDING MY TEETH WAKES ME UP AT 2, 4 AND 6 AM. BASTARDS.

BUT BUT BUT BIB IF THIS MATTERS. NOT ON REX MANNING BACON DAY.

Because [livejournal.com profile] emquilxy beats me every time at the gift giving game. LOOK AT ALL THE BACON:



MORE BACON THAN YOU CAN HANDLE UNDER THE CUT. )

I'm off to read more wholas. And weep.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request ~something~ of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal. If you absolutely can't write, you can offer drawings or icons or something instead (meta? picspams? reasons why that character/pairing rocks/doesn't rock?).

They will be fics. They have to fit in the comments to this post, man. You don't have to repost to request. Any of my listed fandoms. Awwww yeah.

So the con over, [livejournal.com profile] cruentum was due to fly back to his HOME, and I was to train onwards to Cardiff. I bid him adieu and was a sad panda as I packed my bag. Imagine my surprise when I walked back to the station to find him walking out! NO WAI. There was some sort of issue with his flight and his reservation was cancelled. So, having nothing better to do, apparently, he decided that he could study just as much in Cardiff as he could at home (HAH!), so he CAME WITH ME.

THAT IS RIGHT.

We trained it there and settled in at Ty Rosa, then WENT OUT TO EXPLORE, which resulted in rain logged clothes and blisters, but it was well worth it. So here was the first day of Cardiff, land of awesome. )

Hahahaaah I am glad that you all enjoyed the first leg of mah trip!

London and La Cage over (Nick humoured me in my disbelief that all pubs closed at midnight and got lost in Chelsea with me at one in the morning. He's a good sport, considering we'd only just met…seven hours earlier, and some of those had been spent ogling John Barrowman's magnificent cleavage), we set our sights for Birmingham!

--record scratch—

Look, that was where the Con was, okay? )

Oh hai! Back in October I went to Great Britain! Remember that? I got to see tonnes of awesome people and hang out with [livejournal.com profile] cruentum, who is indeed my long lost brother, or perhaps just the really gay looking wonder twin. I took lots of pictures, but they just sat there on my netbook.

Well no more! Long lost gay wonder twin Xiao Di Di whined at me until I got off my delicate and shapely arse and uploaded them, so now I feel like sharing choice ones with you!

Today we visit: LONDON. I should warn you that I rarely take pictures of notable things. )

That was fun, wasn't it?

I take back all the mocking I did. I have never seen it like this. If you live in a place that get a lot of snow, feel free to mock me, but I just wasn't prepared for:

SNOWPOCALYPSE 2010

1. Lost power (re: heat) at 2 am. Ate the kid for warmth.

2. I kid, we did that huddle for warmth thing.

3. Discovered all coffee was unground. Used mortar and pestle.

4. No method of heating water. Did you know that when water is hot enough to burn you in the shower, it is still not hot enough for coffee?

5. Drank coffee anyway.

6. Went outside. Pics included! )

7. Went inside, peeled off clothes (PLUS: I have lost so much weight that I was able to wear my fleece pyjamapants under my old size 14 jeans. MINUS: COLD)

8. After lunch. POWER RETURNS! HUZZAH! COFFEE FIRST, CHARGE CELL, RUN DISHWASHER.

Hello flisters! So. I love cocktails when other people make them for me, and I like making them, if I have a reason. Like Holidays! Woo! And I know y'all agree. So I'm going to share some cocktail recipes with you, and maybe you'll share some in the comments! What do you make on the holidays? What have you always wanted to try? Got something special your family and friends make? Planning on trying something new this year? Post it here!

I present: things with pomegranates, things with vampires and a slight mod. )

So there you have it! Go forth and share! Or is it go shorth and fare? Or what? Oh? *hic*

BOOST THE SIGNAL. DRINKS HERE. I NEED A NEON SIGN.
