RECIPES!
@ladyinspain and whoever else wants these. I’ll include both the original muffin (annotated) and cookie variation versions of my pumpkin chocolate chip mookies. Also, I think I’ll make those lemon poppy seed cookies tomorrow. Yum. I’ll let you know how it goes. THANKS FOR THE RECIPES! I’M SO EXCITED!
Back story on mookies: I first made these with my sister-in-law I think...

“The sound of Reuss on “The Gambler” is all love, all stunning reminiscence, a chance to have both the luxury of hindsight and the freakout properties that come with not knowing what the hell is going on at the moment as the love of a lifetime is formulating. He sings about no knowing a thing about romance, but understanding it when he sees it - love at second sight - and there...

“We can conclude that human will can, in certain circumstances, have enough energy to counter social and human changes as well as physical changes in the world, by opposing a neg-entropic force to its blind entropic evolution.”

can someone please explain Lady Gaga to me?
I keep trying to see the “feminist, pop intelligentsia” side of her, and all I keep coming up with is another pop star with over-the-top fashion and godawful lyrics.

I was in a mall or something but it was very open and sunny and beautiful and for some reason I think we were in Italy. I took some gorgeous red/orange belts home to see if they would match without paying and then had to run a couple blocks back to return them even though they did match and I wanted them. There was someone that looked like an old friend that I haven’t spoken to in a while...

There are always people coming and going in your life and then coming again and they pop up in the most odd places, in a tv show, in the weather, in other people. And have you ever wondered if it’s not just you to which this folded tangled bubbling ribbon of a timeline appears?

– thank you.
We all get that this is JUST FOR THE PAGEVIEWS and TONGUE-IN-CHEEK and IF YOU GET MAD YOU ARE JUST PLAYING INTO IT. Anger is engagement, blah blah blah. Anger at the columnist? Hatred for the publication? That’s just “how it’s done,” huh? Well, it is your ironic journalism career. You’ll...

1.) When I was a freshman, a bunch of kids in my class called me Fortune Cookie because one boy came to me for relationship advice and I laid his girlfriend’s entire psyche out with such accuracy that everyone else started bugging me for personality assessments, and I was good at them. It was my first positive non-family nickname and I loved it.
