Waffles.

I just know that IHOP has a Pancake Day where you can eat as many pancakes as you want for very little. Or something. But I have never done it because I'm usually full after 2 or 3 pancakes. So I make them on my own and that's ok!

I also make my own waffles. I want a belgian waffle recipe. Mine are good, but they are no belgian waffles.

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #3752 on:** 08 Mar 2011, 10:36 »

Yeah, around here Pancake Day was last Tuesday and IHOP was giving free short stacks.

I always screw up pancakes at home, because I keep trying to make them on this super-heavy cast-iron griddle I got as a very belated wedding present, but it heats unevenly on my electric stove and gets way too hot so the pancakes get burned but still raw inside. Very sad.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3753 on:** 08 Mar 2011, 12:16 »

I am fully in agreement with pancakes ALL THE TIME (it is always time for pancakes in France) but Pancake Day is definitely today. Not last week, or indeed last month like we accidentally thought it was. Shrove Tuesday, the last day before lent, the final day to pig out on delicious things before a miserable six weeks of fasting. No more desserts for me until April 23rd... argh.

Wait what? Pancake day was last tuesday! That's what everyone told me! Apparently they were wrong?

Pancake Day is on the same day as Mardi Gras cause it's essentially the same situation only lamer? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday

Totally had pancakes for dinner last night. Found a really good vegan recipe that worked well. Also added bacon. I REGRET NOTHING.

my university is recognizing international women's day by, in addition to a bunch of other stuff, serving free pancakes all afternoon. maybe they are recognizing pancake day too? maybe it is just a coincidence. i ate a bunch of pancakes and in about 45 minutes they're gonna switch to cookies instead of pancakes and then i will fight the patriarchy by eating one hundred of them

Hairy Joe Bob · « **Reply #3763 on:** 08 Mar 2011, 15:49 »

I#ve spent the day and evening by myself being grumpy and depressed. I went out and bought some eggs and flour and made myself some pancakes. To eat by myself. I then ate several. In fact I ate so many that I have been really sick. Now I am post-vomit, with the chills and the shakes.

Pancake Day sucks balls.

So I took my car in for state emissions inspection today, and they didn't actually check anything? The guy started looking for the plug to the computer and I told him it's behind the cigarette lighter (nice job, Honda, you have to take the car out of park to access it) so he got another guy to come over, and he just turned the car on then off, and then they gave me the PASS certificate. I don't think that's normal?

If it helps Lunchface, you're going to get the biggest hug on your birthday. It will be from me. I shall have an educational pamphlet mailed to you so that you are aware of your rights and responsibilities during the interaction.

Ok, after being a drunken idiot all alone in my bedroom last monday night I've been having the most productive week and a half in ages. I seem to have this mechanism where when I am down enough I get a bottle of something and just descend into being a complete waste of space. Then in the morning I feel awful enough that I realise where I'm headed and start to turn shit around. This has happened maybe four times before over the past couple of years. I am thankful for this mechanism because I think if I didn't then I'd just keep slipping downwards every time I start.

Any, some Fun Facts:
- It is my birthday today. My friend made me a cake.
- My friends are really cool, but I can't afford to do a birthday drinks thing.
- I started running recently and feel pretty ace and I think my chest is starting to look pretty good?
- This semester I am likely to neglect most of my units in favour of my Artificial Intelligence one (which seems far more interesting).
- There is a really good and fairly cheap Thai place not far from where I live.
- One of my goals is to be the tall, thin guy from Chromeo.
- My rugby team keeps losing by giving away red and yellow cards.

Certainly not the sort that involved an educational pamphlet.

Also dudes I have spent pretty much all day reading about beer brewing and how it's really easy to do at home, and it reminded me of an idea I had not so long ago about starting a forum brewing club, so, any of y'all interested? Excitement! Cheap and delicious beer! The ultimate punx hobby for everyone that isn't a straightedger, and even if you are, you can always join the club and brew some water! Grow your own hops! Fuck the police!

actually beer homebrew is a pretty dad hobby but it would rule. true punx is making your own grain alcohol in the still that you built out of canadian tire stuff that you had to buy in two separate trips so that they wouldn't call the cops on you

OK so one of my referees sent me his reference which I received by post... which my mum promptly opened. This is bad as it was signed over the seal to prove I hadn't tampered with it. She's now suggesting I essentially find another envelope and copy his sig, which I'm pretty sure is fraud or somesuch but also I'd think pretty impossible to figure out and pretty harmless in this context.

On the other hand, he said really nice things about me! He claimed I was shmart, in the top 5% and could probably get a 1st if I tried hard enough, which gave me a nice ego boost. He did say they should take me on as a PHD student, whereas I'm applying for a Masters but hopefully this shouldn't matter. Good god I want to get this thing sorted though.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3784 on:** 09 Mar 2011, 12:06 »

Why did she open your post? That is quite odd. Unless you have really similar names or something and she didn't notice.

Today, as you will know from my previous mentions of the fact and from many other sources as well, is the first day of Lent! Somehow connected to this fact is the fact that I cleaned my room and changed my bedding for the first time since I moved in here (two months ago, OK I KNOW I AM DISGUSTING NOT AS DISGUSTING AS TANIA THOUGH). I'm not eating dessert until Easter, so I have eaten lots of bread and oranges today. Mmmm fresh bread. The freshest bread - I had to wait ten minutes at the bakery while they finished baking it. Mmm.

Some mothers are nosy. My mother opens everyone's mail.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3786 on:** 09 Mar 2011, 12:45 »

My mum opens my letters but that's because I'm in another country and some things are urgent. I have a feeling that in the UK, it is treason to open other people's post without permission - all mail belongs to the Crown from the moment it's posted until the moment it arrives at its destination (i.e. the recipient's hands).

Lunchbox · « **Reply #3787 on:** 09 Mar 2011, 13:42 »

Yeah but mothers need to know everything. If I still lived with my mum I know she'd open my post.

Also, Happy Birthday McTaggart!

I got an angry message from my housemate (who is in charge of the rent account) saying that another of my housemates hadn't paid his rent because his client was late paying him. I couldn't cover it ecause I am pretty skint right now. Ten a little later I got another angry message saying that she'd been looking at the accounts (amazingly for the first time since I moved in) and I've been underpaying my rent by 15 quid. Since I moved in. Now, I paid what rent I was told, and now TEN MONTHS later she's saying that I haven't been paying enough. I paid what I thought was the rent! You'd think she'd have picked up on it by now and told me!

So anyway I now owe 150 quid which I don't have.

Fuck it I'm moving out and back in with my girlfriend.

Why'd you move out from her if you don't mind me asking?

Hairy Joe Bob · « **Reply #3791 on:** 09 Mar 2011, 15:51 »

I only lived with her temporarily before. I, due to a series of mistakes and bad luck, ended up homeless. I moved in with her temporarily until I got a place. I think we're ready to live together properly now. The only issue is with her DLA (disability living allowance - she has an illness which affects her mobility sometimes and in turn her abiliity to work) and how it would affect how much money she gets toward rent. DLA is changing in the UK at the moment so everything's up in the air a bit.

But we want to live together, and move to the country, and live with the cats in peace.

i somehow lost one of the textbooks for the course i am teaching and now i'm going to have to shell out the cash ($82) to replace it because it was a loan. it's not the end of the world but i feel pretty stupid right now... although in my defense who assigns four books for a course?! that's insane. of course i was going to lose one eventually, i mean they don't even all fit in my bag and also look at me, i'm crazy and i don't even sleep. i can't be expected to keep this shit together. i kind of hope it turns up somehow before the end of the semester because i was really looking forward to spending my tax return on like... clothes instead of this.

That actually isn't the end of the world and it's not quite the same as being homeless and hating every living second of every day like I used to. The two weren't related to start with anyway. It just blows. Thanks for having said so though. I feel like a completely different person from back then.

Super wonderful evening talking with friends at a coffee shop, then walking through the blowing snow to watch a few shorts and then a movie with some other friends, cuddles throughout. Plus beers plus conversation plus plans for later in the week. Life is great but it'll be better once school is done!

Oooooh, plus it it's the Montreal Zen Poetry Festival this weekend, and my absolutely favourite poet and thinker is going to be there, Robert Bringhurst. Also Christopher Patton, whose book Ox is my favourite debut book I've read from the last few years. Can't wait.

Whoops, forgot to say it was in a blank envelope (aside from the sig over the seal). It came in another envelope adressed to me. It was like playing pass-the-parcel where instead of presents you received gratifying life affirmations. If she opened my actual mail I wouldn't be at all happy, violation of privacy and whatnot.
