Hubris does not mean what you think it means.

  • I've gotten very very bad at commenting on people's posts. Half the time I even mean to comment, but I get distracted way too easily. Like...I know someone posted a few days back about discovering the secret to cooking perfect asparagus, I meant to comment to demand said secret, but didn't.

  • Which reminds me - chocolate cake from a box (cooked and stuff), whipped cream and canned cherry pie filling is FABULOUS. And looks pretty when you make round cake and put the cherries in the middle.

  • Goddamn you, English language!! Why must I change the 'y' to 'ie'??? Why can't it just be cherrys? YOU'RE ON MY LIST.

  • I think my DW angst has run its course. For now. I'm kinda in the mood to watch old eps again. Or at least Black Orchid again. Hooray for Team TARDIS having fun! (You remember fun, don't you, Doctor Who? It's that thing you have when you enjoy life and aren't out to burn down the fucking universe in a fireball of rage...)

    Um, okay. Angst has not run its course yet.

  • It's Friday! Yay! I'm sorta tempted to see Ocean's Thirteen, just because it's gotten fairly decent reviews. I liked the first movie, but the second - I can't even remember what happened in that one. Hmm. Maybe I'll wait for DVD.

  • I need new icons.
ETA: DW S3 spoilers in comments. Sorta.

See, my mum doesn't even MAKE vegetables most of the time, nowadays. XD And when she does, it's usually either plasticy mashed potatoes or tinned peas, neither of which are terribly appetising.

As to our oven... well, our's came with the house. So it's been here since the late 70's/early 80's. It's ancient and doesn't even work terribly well anymore (trying to make it light is a bleedin' nightmare ['cause it's a gas oven]). Things tend to burn quite easily, but we've learned to tame it by placing things more liable to burn on lower shelves. However, it does suck, yes.
