I’m at my parent’s place at the moment, sitting in the kitchen, watching her teach some friends how to make an apple pie. I’m taking down the recipe and I’ll post it here later. But it’s nice being able to be a geek and be social at the same time.

Two nights in a row my power went out. It seems to have happened sometime around 4:45 (based on the time my clock read when I woke up). But now I feel all out of sorts because I’m supposed to be at rehab right now. Grrr. I hope this doesn’t become a regular thing.

From Caffeina’s LiveJournal, Alcohoroscopes. Here’s mine:

Scorpio

Drinking style
Don’t ever tell Scorpios they’ve had enough, for they’ll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till they’re hog-whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that. Most of them see the sauce as something to savor in itself, and not as a personality-altering tool — though if depressed, self-loathing Scorps seek total obliteration. But generally, they’re fascinating drinking pals, brilliant conversationalists and dizzying flirts. They also remember everything — especially what you did when you were blitzed. Only drink with a Scorpio who likes you.

Trademark cocktails
Just as a Scorpio can look you in the eye and smile while secretly plotting your demise, so does the brandy-laced stinger’s sweet taste hide a potent amount of alcohol. If you want to get literal, serve them a scorpion — they may not love tropical drinks, but it shows you’re paying attention. Scorpio rules watermelon, so break out the blender and fix a pitcher of watermelon margaritas to seduce ’em — though red wine will do the trick just as well.

Drinking buddies
Truman Capote, Hillary Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster, Bill Gates, k.d. lang, Megan Mullally, Demi Moore, Sylvia Plath, RuPaul

From my friend Jeff comes this link. Be sure to view the Flash version. Not for the faint of heart.

I kept expecting to see a flaming logo in there though.

I’ve not watched two DVDs worth of SuperGALS! and I’ve got to say this show is great. It’s a bit frantic and silly but it’s lots of fun. The theme song has also gotten completely stuck in my head. I wasn’t sure what to think about the show at first though. The animation style is quite different from a lot of other stuff I’ve seen. Definitely one I’ll watch the rest of.
