Last one! Strawberry and cream cheese.

3/4 done! Bottom is cream cheese, middle is strawberry jam, and top is black raspberry, raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry jam (made by the lovely Mr. Geeky). In the oven is a cream cheese and strawberry one.

I won't be cutting into them until Sat so sure hope they turn out good. T_T

Jam roly-poly for my friends party on Sat! I'd prefer to make them closer to the date but we're busy Friday night and Sat morning and I need to make at least 3.

(The one actually has cream cheese as an experiment. The other two will have, respectively, jam made of various berries and strawberry.)

Gabrielle's velour outfit in season 6 is certainly a choice that was made.

Like, I'm always low key aware of the fact that capitalism has done a great job brainwashing people, but sometimes it's so obvious that it feels like being slapped in the face.

Large companies do not need regular people to defend them when people call them out on their bullshit. They do not care about you. If you give them an inch they will absolutely take a mile.

Also, they literally pay people to do what you're doing. Why are you doing it for free? At least get some money if you're going to be this obnoxious.

Brownie cookies for Mars' bday!

She's ten!

O.o

When the fuck did that happen.

Time is a lie.

Also, I'm so completely divorced from any SM stuff outside my happy little friendship and lesbian corner of the internet that I was genuinely shocked when I heard how excited people got for Tuxedo Kamen.

Every time he came on stage the crowd went crazy.

Meanwhile I'm just sitting there going, "I could be looking at Beryl right now, what is this nonsense."

[madegeeky]

Ohmygod, that was so much fun.

Tip for anyone else going: go early to people watch.

I loved everyone who wore their Sailor Moon jackets and hoodie and cardigans and dresses and skirts and I love every single person who cosplayed and I loved everyone who didn't have any of these but wore bows and had buns and were color coded to their favorite Senshi or villain.

I loved them all and I just wish I'd arrived earlier so I could see more of them.

FULL ON, TOTAL COSPLAYER SAILOR NEPTUNE SPOTTED

[madegeeky]

People watching while eating (almost) directly across from the Chicago Theatre, which is showing Sailor Moon the Super Live?

Amazing. Super recommend.

Saw Shittenou cosplayers, several cats, multiple hair bows, and so many twin buns!

Also, re: Room 237

The people being being interviewed are living the dream. I mean, to be paid money to sit there and talk about something you feel passionate about and have thought about for so many hours and that you normally don't get to talk about that much? To have the length of time and energy you've spent on it validated when most people are probably all, "It's not that deep."

Yes, please.

[madegeeky]

I feel like one of those weird movies that most people don't even know about but that I think it would do good for most people to watch?

Room 237

I want people to have to sit and listen for almost 2 hours as multiple people talk about watching the same movie and coming out of it with completely different ideas as to what it's about. I want to force people to sit with the fact that perception is an important thing that controls everything about our world and that, especially when it comes to art, the way you view the world is not the only way to do so and other people's versions of it are usually not necessarily wrong or right but are theirs and should be respected.

Anyway, if you haven't seen it, go check it out.

It's a documentary where a bunch of people talk about how they think the movie The Shining means X and none of them agree and all of them (at least in this documentary) talk about their opinion with joy to be able to talk about this thing they love so much. It's just a delight to watch.

I'm cracking up at this because I'm too young to remember exactly which but it was either Annie or It and boy jf that doesn't tell you all you need to know about how little my Dad cared what I watched when I was younger.

I heard recently that you can tell a lot about a person by the first movie they know Tim Curry from and I literally can’t stop thinking about it.

so say in the tags what’s the first movie you know Tim Curry from. Mines muppets treasure island

Finally did the toast oven test that @docholligay recommended. I have a gas oven from who the hell knows when and looks probably as cheap as it actually is.

First pic is top of the toast, second pic is bottom of the toast.

The top left being so pale confused Mr. Geeky and I until we looked in the oven and realized that that's where the light bulb is. So our theory is that the hole created by the light bulb isn't air tight. (Again, cheapo oven.)

It's funny that the bottom is so much darker because I've rarely had a problem with the bottom of cakes burning.

Can we all give a round of applause for Philbert, the one remaining cell in my immune system?

Cause he managed to keep me from getting sick both before the trip and managed to hold off anything during until literally the day we were driving home. (Though, for anyone wondering, being stuck in a car as you can literally feel yourself getting sicker and sicker is pretty fucking awful. Do not recommend.)

If I weren't so sick I'd draw another pic of him with, like, a medal or something. Maybe when I'm feeling better. Fuck knows he's earned it.

I did 20 popular tumblr users' "Top 100/150 Movies" listicles and compiled the top 101 that reoccur frequently <3

Addendum to MN trip thoughts, day 3:

Science Museum of Minnesota - Oh! One of my fav things was this section called Weighing the Evidence and it was all about scam medical items. Like snake oil and the idea that small electrical shocks can help you lose weight, stuff like that. They even have current day versions of the items, so you can really appreciate how long the scam had been going on and how there have been decades to study it and it's never been proven. They even let you try out some of the older devices. So, there's a small device can touch that will cause small electrical shock to your fingertips and there's also a vibrating chair. Honestly, I know this makes me a nerd, but I hadn't realized in amidst all the hands-on stuff how much I just missed reading some really interesting history. Obviously, for Mars' sake, I'm glad there was hands-on stuff but it was really nice that she could go do some stuff and I could just read about some really weird but interesting medical bullshittery in peace.
