You! Yes YOU! Go forth, sing, draw, dance, write... or just otherwise CREATE! Let the fires of imagination run wild through your mind, forming a great blaze of inspiration that threatens to engulf your very being in the twisting inferno that is the world of ideals yet unrealized! Expand your horizons by force of will if necessary, treating the mere limitations of what you thought was finite as if it were a wounded body... let your drive to ascend over the mundane be as a jaws of life!

 

Seize the frickin day!!

 

(There... that came on randomly, maybe I just mused someone)

I cleaned out my closet, as an excuse to rip everything out and find one of my models.

 

Instead, I find my old CZ P.01 model, the sweetest model I've made. I prettied her up too, with wood grips.

 

Anyone got a nickname for a Czech girl?

Got an email from a recruiting company. The person who sent it screwed up and left all 136 email recipients on CC.

 

Sad thing is a couple of the jobs were ones I have not seen on my search yet. Though I think I'll see if I can compare the job description to one of the less spammy agencies in town.

I have now offically seen all episodes of Bab5.

 

Due to one reason or another, I had not seen the 2 climactic episodes of season four before. (Ivanova getting injured, and the Battle for Earth)

 

I just got the season four DVD collection and have now watched them.

Key Lime Pie

 

Crust:

 

4 1/2 ounces graham cracker crumbs

1 1/2 ounces sugar

1 1/2 fluid ounces butter, melted

 

Filling:

 

15 fluid ounces sweetened condensed milk

6 egg yolks

6 fluid ounces key like juice

1 tbsp key lime zest

 

Topping:

 

8 fluid ounces whipping cream

2 ounces powdered sugar

 

 

 

1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl.

 

2. Ass the melted butter and combine until the mixture resembles wet sand.

 

3. Press the mixture into a 9-inch (229 cm) pie pan.

 

4. Mix the sweetened condensed milk with the egg yolks in a bowl.

 

5. Blend in the lime juice and zest.

 

6. Pour the mixture into the pan with the pie crust.

 

7. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the filling is set. Be very, very careful not to overbake the pie.

 

8. Cover the pie and cool under refrigeration until the pie is at a temperature of 41 degrees or lower.

 

9. Whip the cream and powdered sugar together in a mixer on high speed until soft peaks appear. Be careful to not overmix the cream, or else you'll have sugared butter on your hands.

 

10. Pipe the cream onto the top of the pie and serve.

"The free market sometimes involves things that conservatives dislike, such as pornography. What should be considered here, however, is not how the market performs relative to some idealized abstraction of the state run by wise and pure censors, but how a specific market compares to a particular state. If there is a market for pornography there is sure to be a constituency for it, too. Moreover, the state produces far worse depravities of its own: Playboy may be bad, but one is not forced to subsidize it, unlike public-school sex ed, Andres Serrano’s “Piss Christ†(funded by the National Endowment for the Arts), and Lynndie England’s S&M jamboree with Iraqi prisoners of war. One can avoid pornography on the market, but everyone pays for the depravities of the political class."

"Sara, how many times do we have to explain about the kittens?

We had to destroy the litter. They only served as a source of food for monsters in the area. You know my strategy- cut off the enemy's line of supply at the source."
