Those are tasty-looking pancakes. :)
Looks like a cute little shopping center, too. Looks like the one next to where I'm staying!
Argh need coffee in mass quantity.. :-S
just poured myself a fresh cup.
What about sweet potato pancakes?
Oh no, a massive sale on a pie of things in my wishlist!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh:
I succumbed to the evils of a DAZ SALE. :down: :down: I now have a pile of goodies to install. :-S Bu the Gen3 shapes for Genesis were on sale, wheeeeeeeeee, so I got 'em, along with some nice prop sets including a morgue and an abandoned bus stop! :snake:
Time to order a pizza and some chicken wings. I feel better now I've had coffee and Gatorade, but I'm 100% unmotivated to go out anywhere today. :blank: I don't even want to get dressed, but picking up the pizza at the door in my undies isn't recommended. :red:
Plenty to do right here today! :)
Also discovered that there's a HUGE shopping center a block from the transit station at the end of one of my fave buses, which has a highly rated Indian food restaurant! Guess where' I'm going for lunch tomorrow? :coolsmile:
I need somebody to shoot me next time I get the idea "why not invite mumsy over for a weekend."
How about instead, we lock you in the bathroom until the urge goes away? :-S :-S
Looks like a hearty meal. :)
Thanks @ well-wishers, hurty head is gone, silly head is back. :)

I still might have access to telephone.
What if I just got a straitjacket and told people to apply it immediately if such urge strikes me again?

That seems like an eminently workable approach. :-S You can't use a phone, and can still watch TV, eat, and with some effort read.
But... I don't wanna watch TV. :( Wait, I could watch stuff on my tablet. That way it is stuff I want to watch.
TV is actually right now the reason for my frustration. I'm getting exposed to epic levels of Stupid.
....morning all.
Start of a new day, the first day of Magento year two, and true to form, was logged out again. *sigh*
Making hotcakes (just plain ol' shaped ones) and maple beakkie sausages. Don't have real maple syrup (way to expensve these days which is sad because it's so much better and better for you than the commercial ones that all use fructose as their base). Found one however that doesn't and has real (not artificial) maple flavoruing,
Misty, hoped to see what the flutterby hotcakes looked like. Still those look very yummy.
Yep 33 years ago all eyes were on the Pacific Northwest, and I was on a train in Yakima WA at the time on my way out to making a new life in Seattle . As usual back then, the train was several hours late which was probably good for were we on time, we would have been in the Cascades when St Helens erupted. As is, they held us there in the station (we were told to get off the train with the statement "...we just learned that Mt St Helens has exploded". Was very strange seeing that boiling black plume heading our way. by 10:30AM it was pitch black.
The GN railway (which owned the tracks) had sent a crew to check conditions ahead and discovered that all was relatively clear along the line once it made the bend heading into the mountains since the wind was blowing the ash plume to the east/southeast. So shortly after about noon, we all boarded the train and were on our way again. It was eerie to say the least for as we made our way west into the mountains and finally emerged into light again the sight of the huge ash cloud was both breathtaking and frightening.
When we finally were approaching Seattle, the diesel locomotives were belching smoke more like an old steam train and the windows were coated in a fine grey dust. After we got into the station I looked at the locomotives and it appeared as if we had just gone through a blizzard, yet instead of white snow caked on the front it was grey ash. I bet the mechanics had a lot of fun
For the next week, this WAS the news. Scenes of homes, vehicles, and streets covered in inches of ash, The rivers swollen by the instant melting of the mountain's snowcap, choked with fallen trees parts of houses,and even vehicles all swept up in the torrent. The almost unreal looking plume of ash belching tens ot thousands of feet into the sky from the broken mountain. Gone were a couple thousand feet of it's summit, all of the north flank...and 57 people including the scientist who sounded the alert and the cantankerous old innkeeper at Spirit Lake who refused to evacuate. The most chilling story was a reporter caught near the mountain who had a portacam running at the time commenting how fearful he was that he was not going to make it as the ash cloud descend on his location. When the last sliver of light disappeared, he was plunged in to an almost unearthly darkness, the light of the camera showing only the flakes of ash falling directly in front of it. The vision of this is still as haunting to me today as it was back then. Fortunately he made it out OK.
It was strange listening to the weather reports: High, Low, Chance of rain, Chance of ashfall. Though Seattle was pretty much spared most of the ash, the skies still had that slightly "misty" look from time to time. There was a dusting in Tacoma and Olympia,as well as Portland to the south, however, communities to the most east were buried in it. Unlike snow it didn't melt, people shoveled, swept and cities got out their plows but once the wind kicked up it was all for naught. The powdery fine ash played havoc with car and truck engines and made it difficult to breathe at times. Those 3M filter masks soon got the nickname "volcano masks"and sold like proverbial hotcakes even in cities that received little to no ash. Of course nobody knew when or if it would erupt again.
It actually did again that following July (the 22nd), sending another large plume of ash and steam into the late afternoon/early evening sky I was on my way to an evening class at the UW when I was looked up to notice the cloud. Minutes later there was a muffled rumble. Suffice to say, I was late to class that day.
A friend I had met years later after moving to Portland who was with her youth orchestra which just performed a concert in Vancouver British Columbia said they heard the explosion that morning clear as a bell that far away. It was definitely an event of historical proportions, one that illustrated just how insignificant we humans are compared to the natural forces of this planet. Hollywierd could not have done the scenes I witnessed, both live and on the television news reports, any better.
...and given with all the digital effects these days, they still cannot capture what it really felt like to be there.
Now the concern is about about the "Big Quake" which will occur when the Cascadia subduction zone off the coast gives way. It could happen tomorrow, or a half century from now.
"Mom" isn't through with us pesky humans yet.
How about instead, we lock you in the bathroom until the urge goes away? :-S :-S
I always get depressed when I hear people talking about their parents like this D:
Haha, I guess I just miss my mother, and would love to see her again - so it just seems so out-of-place to see someone NOT wanting to be with their mother xD
Well... it is complicated.
1) I do love her. She is my mom.
2) At the same time, she drives me nuts, because she is not all there. She's apparently not taking her anti-psychotics anymore and/or is supplementing herself with dubious herbal crap and vitamins which do diddly-do and at worst interfere with proper meds, and holy heck woman you're giving yourself a vitamin D overdose, why are you listening those woo-peddlers, don't you realize that increases your chance of pancreatic cancer and worsen your osteoporosis on overdose levels. Her constant paranoia is driving my anxiety and depression to overdrive, because beyond getting her back to the meds there's jack and boop I can do to help her. I can try to distract, but I'm running out of shiny.
3) Not to mention that our interests in life do not meet. Like, at all. She's extremely anti-intellectual on knee-jerk level (except when it comes to me, 'cause of course I know it all), has zero interest towards things I like, and vice versa. The idea of watching TV -- specifically our equivalent of Lifetime or 24/7 Oprah channel -- and NOT DOING FUN STUFF drives me up the walls. Speaking with her is extremely difficult, because everything can suddenly remind her that "they" are out there to get her in the most ineffectual and pettiest ways while she's spending time at my place. The fact that she's freaking out every thirty minutes over the fact that she's HERE and NOT AT HOME to DEFEND it against "them" is making me feel guilty.
4) And then there's... the past. Which, by all means, should be a different country and destroyed like Carthago, but still lurks around in form of salted ruins. People who know about it question issue #1, usually in tones "how the hell you can love her after THAT".
So. Yeah. Complicated.
Broadcast TV is 10K kinds of stupid, cable is a bit better, but it has it's dim spots.
When I Watch TV I'm convinced rhe race is doomed to end in a litter of half-wits. :-S
Which is another reason why I am surprised often - since I only had good relations with my parents :(
I do like Mythbusters, and there's a new version of the Japanese Iron Chef also airing, and of course there's MLP:FIM, so it is not a COMPLETE loss for TV. Oh and stuff with David Attenborough. That's always gold.
I just detest TV shows which circle around a bunch of people locked up in televised Stockholm Syndrome, constant snooping on celebrities ("Did Britney Spears just FART?")... I understand that some people are able to derive joy from that, and enjoy it (I regard it sort of like bear-baiting, but with more potential for lawsuits), but jeeze, it sure isn't for me.
But when the TV channel was tuned to a program where they PROUDLY and without ANY kind of reservation and critique marched in a couple, with the wife pregnant, and they proudly declare how they are living on superfood raw-food-only vegetarian diet and how they won't vaccinate their kid-to-be, I kind of exploded with rage and fiery hatred of ten thousand suns (it is specifically that latter bit which chaps my ass).

D'oh! :shut:
Dana
potato pancakes sounds yummy. is it easy to make?
You, me, and any medical professional who has had to deal with outbreaks of deadly diseases.
sweet potatoes with melted marshmallows, yumma yumma
The latter would be one of my friends, who is a doctor, and as people have seen so far, my immunity just plain sucks even with vaccines, and I lurves some herd immunity.
...I haven't owned a telly for something like nearly ten years now. Don't really miss it either.
Strange in that I came from what was the "TV Generation" of the 1960s. We had the only colour set in the neighbourhood, one of those huge Archie Bunker types you has to let warm up for ten minutes and then fiddle with the adjustments to get the colour just right. There was no cable or satellite dish that piped in a bajillion channels of crap, just the three major networks, one local educational one, and a UHF channel (remember those?) that showed old movies, some cartoons, and All Star Wrestling that came over the antenna. Cables were what held up the Golden Gate Bridge and the lifts in the department store downtown. Satellite's were wondrous devices that helped us forecast weather , take pictured of the earth from space, closeups of the moon, and bring us important breaking news from half way around the world.
Today when I'm visiting someone and they turn the the bloody thing on and get themselves sucked into some vapid pseudo reality show or inane sitcom (and expect me to do the same) I feel like asking, " now, why did you want me to come by?"
About the only time I pay any attention to the telly is at the corner pub when they have a sporting match on, (and then, only if it is one that actually interests me). The one place I occasionally go to does DVD cinema night on Fridays. That's OK as often, it is a film I enjoy viewing which I usually missed on the cinema release or an old fave I haven't seen in some time.
Actually, I rarely if ever go to first run cinemas these days at all unless someone else I know wants me to go with them. 10 - 14$ just to get in the door and another 10$ for a bucket of oil soaked popcorn and a glass of artificially flavoured fructose over ice. I don't see the big deal of being there on opening night, it's not like they're not going to change the story or edit the film a week later.
I give a film a few weeks and it usually shows up at the neighbourhood rep. cinema. So it's not in 3D or IMax, nor in spherical 360° 128 channel ImmersaSurroundSound™, big deal. It's 3$ to get in and 6$ for a pint of handcrafted ale and slice of very well made pizza.
...and I'm still very well entertained.
Thank you for sharing that KK. It was one of the most frightening events I can recall in my lifetime. Of course I remember it happening, but your first hand experience gave it a whole different perspective.
found animated trek :) http://www.cbs.com/shows/star_trek_animated
just watched the season finale of Bigbangtheory. Raj had me in tears.
