Here! Something Awesome to Make To Make Up for the...
Do you like bananas?
Peanut butter?
Take one (very ripe) banana, cut in half lengthwise. Smear peanut butter on the inside. Press both halves together.
Wrap in saran wrap and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Delicious.

I’m pretty sure I’ve posted about this before, but GOD, I hate night-time installs, especially in the middle of the week. The part I hate the most is not really the act of doing it, or even the fact I will be sleep deprived because I STILL HAVE TO BE AT WORK TOMORROW, but the act of waiting for the million hours between stopping work at x time until I start work again. Normally right...

Had My First Laser Session on My Tattoo Today
It hurts more intensely than tattooing, but all in all, I find it less unpleasant than tattoos, both in brevity and the type of pain. Laser removal is one little shock every second or so, while tattooing is a needle piercing flesh several times a second and moving across your skin. The sensations are completely different and incomparable, and I am not really sure why people make such a big deal...

Okay, so eReaders sometimes have flaws.
like when I buy a new book and I can’t get the damn software to open that will DOWNLOAD THE BOOK TO MY COMPUTER SO I CAN THEN IN TURN DOWNLOAD IT TO MY EREADER.
eta - ahem. just had to reboot.
Let me explain something
I never used to cook. I always thought I couldn’t (I had this awful habit as a teenager deciding I wasn’t good at something and just HAVING DECIDED IT, ceasing to try at all. as an adult, I am now proving that yes, teenagers are not always all that smart).
I AM NOW ACTUALLY ENJOYING COOKING. PEOPLE I JUST SPENT THIRTY MINUTES LOOKING UP RECIPES AND AM NOW ALL EXCITED THAT I KNOW...

aubade replied to your post: My thoughts while reading comments on an allrecipes.com recipe
I feel like comments on all recipe websites are basically like, “I changed everything about it, this was a great recipe!!!”
I agree, but honest to god, this is way worse than normal, or at least my perception of it? the recipe was like… tomatoes, feta, olives, seasoning and spaghetti squash. And...

My thoughts while reading comments on an...
uhm, it’s a vegetarian dish, why did you add meat?
kalamata olives ARE black olives, that wasn’t a substitute, that’s FOLLOWING THE RECIPE.
…no, no, honey. when you use spaghetti in a recipe that calls for spaghetti squash, you are not substituting, you are doing a different recipe.
the same if the only part of the recipe you keep is the spaghetti squash
WHY MEAT....
and she just threw up.
better than some of the alternatives, I guess.

Dear Credit Card Company
You know what would be awesome? Not changing my points card a mere FIVE DAYS after I had booked a vacation. Especially when you change from a points card that lets me pay for the hotel I just paid for from a points card that just pays for the airfare.
ESPECIALLY WHEN I WORK FOR YOU, JACKASSES.
No love,
Mei
….while I was writing this, my cat ate the sticker that came on my card. I...

Just FYI
Searching for vegetarian resorts may result in resort results which recommend things like a “self-administered colonic irrigation”.
Just in case you were interested.

I haven't posted in a while and came on just to...
in list form
My dad sent me a groupon today for laser removal of tattoos (it also included tattoo services, and derm anchors as other options) and included the line “no judging, just FYI.” This might seem really overbearing or perhaps an unsubtle hint from a conservative parent, but I found it rather endearing, because I have a tattoo I have been TALKING about removing, including...

Eugh
There is a spider in my bathroom. A QUICK MOVING YELLOW HOUSE SPIDER WHICH IS MY LEAST FAVOURITE TYPE. And it stayed out of shoe reach while I stood there trying not to cower while I waited for an opportunity to kill it.
And now I cannot find it. I am telling myself it snuck out in the little space between my bathroom window and the frame. Which I am telling myself exists, because it has to...
