Random Post of Randomness

So survived the exhibit but Scott did bring the Plague into our house, and now I'm plagueridden. On the plus side I think I may have what Lyndsey got instead of what Scott got, as my main symptom is fever, rather than headcoldy stuff. So, er, yay. So I'm sucking down fluids and chicken products and being grumpy.

Sideways relatedly when Scott was feeling better before I got the plague we went to see The Eagle. It made me deeply deeply happy. Soooooo many little historical details they got right, with bonus slashiness. Seriously, most of the film is HC. It's pretty incredible. *happy happy sigh*

avictoriangirl made a banner and a wallpaper for Expected Learning Outcomes which I'm expanding in bits on top of everything else.

There was something else I was gonna post but I don't remember what it is. Dangit.

The Thing I Forgot

Big Bang Theory ships Kirk/McCoy!

there's one ep where Sheldon is explaining to LEonard he approves of hsi new girlfriend, Dr. Stephanie. He explains that they finally have the doctor they've always needed for their away team. "You're Kirk, I'm Spock" -- significant look -- "and now we've found our McCoy!"

I'm just sayin'!

In Which I Do Not Accept a Culinary Kobayashi Maru

Okay so I do not feel well. I've had a fever for the last twenty-four hours and it makes me want cool things.

So I put a banana in the freezer. (Look cold bananas are like ice cream, ok?)

Well, I 1) forgot to take the peel off and 2) just forgot about it.

Well then I remembered and it was hard as a rock, so then I put it in a bowl of water to thaw.

And forgot about it again.

(Look, this is why you don't operate heavy machinery when on meds, 'kay?)

So then later I remembered and it was all soggy. So I contemplated what to do with a single, mushy banana with what I had in my kitchen that required little effort.

So I decided to cook some rice and add it to the pot.



It's kind of like a banana risotto? It's actually pretty good. Needs a little something. But yeah.
