I can't believe I've made it before. that sponge part sounds complicated. (I know it's not. the only hard part will be getting the kitchen that warm.) I had thought of making a bunch of panettone for people for christmas, but I think it's only really good the day of or after maybe. so I think I am going to make sugar cookies, and I'm going to cut and decorate them differently for each friend. my friend whom I most want to be like is going to get some angry little girls. she says she wants to make a bunch of life-size papier-mache angry little girls and line them up in her front window. so does anyone know of any decent coffees that come in cans? I don't want to buy maxwell house or folger's just to get the goddamn can. the time I made it in seattle, I had bought some weird greek coffee from a greek deli. I'm not sure where I'd find something that weird here in portland. |
if anyone else is inspired to make some, please tell me how it turns out. I know I didn't use citron, as I don't even know what that is. I think I'd like to use dried cranberries or apricots instead. |
we bought some tiramesu coffee from trader joes that comes in cans, check there. |
cool guys don't share panettone recipes. |

http://www.bluenudes.com it's pseudo-artistic, but the chicks are pretty hot. "pump house" is a great photo essay. if you like pretty, stacked brunette vixens in leather touching each other's naked chests, anyway. |

I like Captain Tractor enough to buy a second album. Most of the albums in my "collection" are just one shots. It's not that I don't Want a second album, just that I never get around to it. I have two Sarah McLachlan albums, and seven Spirit of the West albums, and now two CT albums. Other than that, just one of each. I like them enough to change the design of my Concert Going Tee-Shirt to include them. I'm putting a picture of them in and a picture of their anchor. (it's their little thing) I'm listening to them right now. I probably wouldn't jump at the show, but I'd stand in front of the stage and tap my foot and bop my head (I'm shy). I love my friend. I don't love many people outside my family, but I love him. I guess he's my best friend. He knows more about me than anyone. I don't get to see him very often because we're both really busy and he spends his free time with his girlfriend. I talk to him on the phone (on average) three or four times a week, on the phone. Every couple of months he says to me "Do you want to come over?" and I say okay and he buys my lunch. If it's a contest between who I like more and who I'd rather be around, then my friend wins. BUT...I don't know when CT will be back in town. And therein lies my problem. It may not be a problem anyway. My friend might go out with other friends, and I may not be able to find anyone to go see CT with me. So I may end up home alone on the weekend. Oh well. Is that enough information? |
when your friend breaks up with his girlfriend, he'll have lots of time to spend with you. I saw handjob guy again. it was kind of nice. he took me out for thai food and then later at his apartment he told me he'd bought fancy-schmancy grapes for me -- purple, flame and green. because I'd said I liked those huge fat juicy grapes that you never see at safeway. he offered to try to fix my princess phones and he let me play pixies songs on his special guitar. it's almost as if we really were pals. next time I think we're going to play scrabble. |
What makes you think my friend will ever break up with his girlfriend? He's in love, you know. They just celebrated their first year anniversary, but really they were together longer, since they were together for almost a year, broke up, and then made up. I'm pretty sure if he ever does break up with her again he'll be spending Lots of time with me. I have a feeling he thinks of me as his rebound girl. I shouldn't say that. Just that I'm upset with him right now and I'm being mean. He's a really good guy. Did your handjob guy try to put the moves on you at all? |
I met another guy tonight, my friend's cousin, and he wants me to help him write a letter to a city councilor, but he was wearing a baseball cap the whole time, so that sort of mitigated his cuteness. I will have to reassess him another day, preferably when I am not drunk and he is not wearing a hat. |
