Go listen to Tegan and Sara's new album Sainthood streaming on MySpace until Oct 27th and then pre-order it!

I even drew this small comic to convince you. You heard me.

New House MD comic - What does your tongue tell you? (A memo from "Cameron")


( Under ze cut... )

I have Lockerz.com invites if anyone needs one. It's free and like swagbucks except the prizes cost a lot less points and you get them by logging in and doing their daily activity. It is also by invite only. They will be shipping internationally when the site fully launches on the 15th. Anyways... PM me if you want an invite or leave a comment with the e-mail you'd like invited. I'll possibly compile a list of differences between the two if anyone is interested.

So as most of you know I'm a supporter of Swagbucks - I've earned about 70$ in Amazon gift cards since I signed up in err February? Though I probably could get more if I weren't so lazy about using their search engine =P I've also never bothered to try their Widget or their toolbar (being very suspicious of things like that having spyware etc.) but I decided to give it a go seeing as most of their codes are posted through them now =(

And for those of you who have signed up and given Swagbucks a try, how is it going for you? Do you find it's worth it?
- obviously it's not going to be a major winner of teh bread or the bacon or whatever toffuti but I find it's nice for when you have to go and buy gifts (if what you want to buy is available on whatever giftcards you may be collecting, be it Amazon or iTunes or Barnes & Noble - and hey they added Paypal payouts!)
Here is my referral link again if anyone else is interested:


Does anyone else find it's hard to get back into watching TV shows?

For my fellow gamers: Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 come out on November 17, 2009 - Modern Warfare 2 is out the week before that, and Bioshock 2 is also coming out soon. If anyone needs help getting some Fable 2 achievements I have all of the non-DLC ones (including dollcatcher and the duelist).

I can almost walk up stairs now also, yay! But not down, sigh.
Mr. Bunners has continued to have on-and-off upset tummy issues :( Though I have no idea what is causing it this time, change in season? He was quite delighted when the carpet in front of the washer and dryer was replaced with a bigger piece. And I was allowed to cut shapes from the old piece: (click to enlarge)

House - Season 5 Recap

Usual warnings: mocking, sarcasm, etc.

Up to 50$ in Amazon gift cards for swagbucks (in 5 months) which isn't a lot but still free money for books and video games I don't need ;) Link below if you want to sign up.


Moar baking? The biscotti is gone already.

Mocha Kahlua Cookie Truffles: 100 and some calories per truffle.
The glaze didn't work out too well as you can see in the picture, and I'm not sure how they taste. They were very easy to make though other than trying to glaze them... imagine trying to dip a crumbly mass into hot lava.
Verdict: "Mmm Kahlua" - I don't think I'd make these again the glaze was a hassle and I don't think they're going to be eaten very quickly. They also need to be stored in the fridge.



Raspberry Pinwheels: 51 calories per cookie, 1.3g fat (3 dozen cookies) (Don't use a serrated knife to cut the dough log)
Note to self: Keep paper towel tubes for icebox cookies. They're really handy for storing the tube of dough in (in waxed paper) as it helps keep its shape and you don't have to worry about find a spot completely level. Also I have to remember next time to use the waxed paper to help roll the dough into a log as trying to roll a 12" square with your hands doesn't work out too well.
Verdict: Apparently they're delicious. Crunchy yet still chewy. Very convenient once made, you freeze the dough log for 3 hours (up to 3 months). If you don't roll the dough into a log properly they end up looking a 'little' mangled.



Cinnamon Bun Crunch Cookies (w/ vanilla drizzle): (also Icebox) 52 calories per cookie, 1.5g fat (3 dozen cookies) (add 13.5 calories per cookie if you add drizzle)
Verdict: nom nom. They smell like cinnamon buns and I think they taste like crunchy versions of them. I forgot to put the cinnamon in the topping before I rolled the dough but I just rubbed some on eat cookie before they went into the oven and it seems to have turned out well.

Yesterday we went to go get our passport applications sent in (just to get them done) and on the way to that city (which is still a small one) we saw eleven police cars. Eleven. In one spot. They had pulled over a whole bunch of semis and other vehicles and they were all in their bright yellow jackets. I've never seen so many in one place before.

Anyways... continuing on with the "I am bored so I will just make shit":

"healthy desserts" - generally low in fat, and what fat there is is mostly unsaturated (good) fat.

Cherry, almond and white chocolate biscotti:
112 ish calories per biscotti,3.7g of fat (2 dozen biscotti)
I made them about three hours ago and they've already eaten half of them so they must be good :)



Double Berry Crumble Squares:
170 calories per square, 4.6 fat (16 squares)
- It's like apple crisp or apple crumble but with berries



Tomorrow (or Sunday depending) I think I'll make Toasted Almond Squares (Pecan Pie squares but with almonds), Raspberry Pinwheels, and possibly Cinnamon Bun Crunch (Icebox) Cookies.

Bategan's half-asian cousin (but not really): Batiger ... or possibly Batgrr. (And yes, I'm either extremely bored or crazy, possibly both ;) )

I made the hat out of scrap material, it's two pieces sewn together and the eyes cut-out. I wore it all last night and made my sister laugh continuously. Now both my sister and my brother want one (he's older than me =P).

I finished my SD papercraft gundam today. Took two weeks to build (the helmet/head alone took over 10 hours) and 24 sheets of 90 lb. cardstock... well probably about 30 considering all the times I had to re-print cause my printer was being miserable.

House - 5x15 - Unfaithful Episode recap.


Usual warnings: mocking, sarcasm, etc.

( Under the cut... )

Fandom really makes me want to punch myself in the face sometimes. Seriously.

Having an argument with someone who doesn't post in any semblance of coherent english about a character on a show is in itself headache inducing. Then having that person thinking they are winning the argument because they base their argument on their personal beliefs without any evidence from the show (which they keep saying I am not providing) and then tell me that they refuse to discuss their personal beliefs with me because they aren't interested when I counter their nonsense.

And what's worse is that people from that ship just keep posting "Oh, you're english is great!" 

"And for me, and i understand you have another conception of discussing than me"

Srsly. Paragraphs upon paragraphs of this.

House has a problem to handle his use of vicodine, he admitted himself in detox he's an adddict. It's his difficulty to regulate his use of pain level which lead him to falsify Wilson's signature to have a stock of vocodine available. Tritter didn't have the informations he needed because of Wilson, he already had them and the way he was able to freeze bank's account or Wilson's medical practise shows he has a lot of solutions to pressure. Cuddy diminished the vicodine because she didn't wanted to give Tritters more munitions he already has to attack House, proving he was taking inconsiderate doses.

Sigh. I give up. There are some posters there I respect because they can argue their points logically and not call others out for not providing facts from the show when their arguments are all based on what they believe.
