Today's students are basically flat-out refusing to do work. Their teacher is going to get quite the note.
ALSO, my brother linked me this recipe for mint chocolate chip cookies and I am very excited to give them a try. They look GLORIOUS.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I scraped off all the icing, as I always do with anything that's not ganache. It was still just sweet cake, with no hint of cocoa that I could distinguish, not even in a white chocolate sense. Very disappointing. The cassis/blueberry tea was tasty though, and props to them for not making me have to remember what cassis is in English, because it never sticks.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It has cocoa, but not enough to make it really chocolate. It seems I read somewhere that the original recipe had a reddish cast from the cocoa, but then people started adding food coloring to make it really red. It's really only an excuse for cream cheese frosting.

Heh. IO9 had a clip of from the episode Ben Edlund wrote for Supernatural. It's pretty funny, and seems to get into the meta of the show.

the episode Ben Edlund wrote for Supernatural
The episode? You mean the episode this week? Because he's written a bunch, and meta's kinda common ground for the show. They've written their fandom into their canon already.

I read that this morning! Pumpkins! Metaphors! If only it also referenced semi-colons, it might be the perfect comic.
And artificially seasonal food!
Oh my god, I glossed right over that. Mallomars!

Because books.

Yeah, he's written or co-written more than a dozen episodes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They pay me in WOIMS
I knew just by looking at the preview that it was written by Edlund.
