6509 I'm still full from last night, and there's leftovers in the fridge!

Stressful week at the ranch so far, but nothing insurmountable. The crazy-chicken mindset is highly contagious, until you recognize what it is, and then stomp it flat.

I've got mixed feelings about visiting bro on Saturday, but I am please to say that he sounds a lot clearer and solidly thinking. not only is he without xanax or booze, but he is also cigarette free, soda free, and sodium free, considering the food.

Other benefits of being in jail... he gets a TB test, AIDS test, and his tooth looked at. He told me that he read through a 200 page book yesterday, and he's reading whatever comes by on the library cart. I wonder if jail is the best thing that could've happened to him. apparently I can't bring him clothes, but he can buy a sweatshirt, socks and such through the commissary.

AIEEE!!! Angry floating cat-head of dooo-oom!

[danigolden.livejournal.com]

They forgot to clean the litterbox. AGAIN.

[littleheaven.livejournal.com]

I think they saw Hungry Baby... ooohh. scary!

hungrybaby!!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

He doth appear before all manner of vieing cartoon personages!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

How does a floating cat head use a litter box?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

woah! where'd that come from??

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Why'd you delete it? trust me, bad taste is not a problem.

Drawing Pictures With Words

Teela and He-Man see Skeletor exposing the Sorceress's nipple. He-Man proudly mentions that he did the piercing and supplied the nipple shield, but regrets there wasn't time for him to do the other breast. "Pro Bowl/Super Bowl, I thought they were the same thing," said He-Man. "At least I got one done in time for my big advertising campaign. Skeletor got my horse a part in a Budweiser commercial, too."

Re: Drawing Pictures With Words

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

wow, the sorceress has really changed since her cartoon days.

did He-Man ride a horse?? Poor Battle-cat must have been busy doing that gladiator movie with Russell Crowe.

Re: Drawing Pictures With Words

[egofood.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about the horse. It was many years ago, and I was at an age when Saturday morning meant lawn mowing more than cartoons. Now that I think about it, I seem to have mixed Thundarr and Ookla (something like that) and their horse-like mounts in with the He-Man gang.

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

I like how you've put a positive spin on your bro's circs. It really sounds like a good thing, for now.

I had a serious CRAVING for eggplant parmesan a couple of weeks ago--I couldn't REST until I had some. Oh, it was so good when I got it. Do you use vegan cheese? How is it?


I LOVE the audio books thing. So cool.

Re: Drawing Pictures With Words

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Ah, yah.. I thought it was funny that Ookla rode a weirdo-sock puppety-horse dino thing, while the more human-looking folks got real horses.. They matched, anyhow. :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Thanks... got to try and find the bright side where I can. :)

eggplant parm is like that... I got bitten by the bug about 2 weks ago, myself.

vegan cheese is ok, if you don't use the real thing... the provolone and mozzarella is pretty good, but the cheddar isn't my fave.

I hope they keep running with audio, too! hooray for public domain!

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

Good attitude.

Talking about it has me wanting it again. I've never made it at home...maybe I'll try this weekend.

I just love cheese and wondered how that stacks up to the real thing. So, you usually do regular, then?

I know! I might send 'em a dollar or two.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm terribly lazy when it comes to eggplant parm. maybe it's me, or maybe it's the eggplant, but I just like having it made for me by someone else. Mine turns out not quite as good as some of the really great parms I've had. Maybe it's time to try again, though... be a lovely Saturday night dindin.

I ususally use rennet-free cheese, and that's pretty good stuff. if you're a connouseur, you might not be crazy about it... I'd advise having a cheese fest, and trying a little bit of everything!

Yum. now I'm really hungry.

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

I know, I could go on and on about food (unfortunately) but all it does is make me crave things : )

Cheese and Wine Fest!!! A grand idea!

When I get back I'm going to search for a recipe.

*runs off to raid the snack machine*

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

man... if I could market a vending machine with juice-boxes full of wine or beer, and little blocks of cheese... and maybe fresh cold grapes?


I'd be a happy camper!

looks like my pretzels will have to do.

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

Yes! Why do the machines have to have the same ole ucky stuff all the time? I could really go for some red wine, farmer cheese and french bread right about now. Some salty olives and hummus with pita, too. THAT'S the stuff I want in the vending macine. Only they'd have to make it fresh, daily.

I like pretzels...and beer ; )

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

mmm.. fresh bread and hummus with olives!

Newt and I would love 'em!

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

Newt likes olives and hummus?!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Newt *loves* olive juice. he'll sniff the spoon that I use to retrieve them and lick it clean if I let him... the salt I suspect.

he's drawn to curry-scents too.

Well, it's here (http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~the2belo/images/omgwtf.jpg). I posted it, then thought the better of it since I'd never commented at you before. :) But, I'm a dark humor sorta person, so what the hell.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, it's nice to have you by... though it is pretty tasteless, I think that dark humor works fine for me.
