Not gonna lie. This is hands down, the best amazing grace techno re-mix I've ever seen. guffaw, guffaw. pause blog music.

PART TWO, SEE WHAT I MEAN?

They (whoever it isthat keeps canceling good things) have ALSO discontinued the use of the little red handi-snak sticks:

Who wants to dunk when you can spread with your own little-disposable-non-ergonomically-shaped-plastic spreader?

I've had it

what is it with awesome things just getting canceled like they're yesterday's cheap celebrity gossip? arrested development. pushing daisies. polaroid film. why don't they cancel horrible things like 'mummy' sequels and red lipstick? grrr.
maybe i went and blew a bunch of money on polaroid film. a small price to pay for 40 future distinct incidences of instant gratification.
if anyone knows a recipe for making polaroid film let me know.

In case you're trying in particular to NOT impress someone with your cooking skills:

sometimes experimenal cooking turns out good. (tang cookies)
sometimes it doesn't. (see below)

here's one not to try--i call it 'these popcorn balls will make your head explode into candy fireworks if you can choke down enough of them'
here's how you can try it at home:
-lots of corn syrup
-some granulated sugar
-most of a large package of grape jello (am i the ONLY person in the world who likes grape jello?)
-some large marshmallows
boil together. pour over popcorn that has lucky charms (lots of them) mixed in.

i know, it sounds good, right?

well, if you do make them, especially for a party with lots of people there, do your best to be the one who STARTS the conversation about how bad they are, so that no one will suspect they were by your own hand...just some advice. not that any of it is based on experience. bonapetit.

Words I Can't Seem to Pronounce:

1a. 'Parabola'
1b. 'Hyperboli'
2. 'Nazi' (I can get this one out right the first time only if I'm not reading it/looking at the word.)
3. 'Eloquent' (ironic, right?)
4. Also, about 50% of the time I say 'Canadian' or 'Japanese', I say the country name first with the appropriate emphasis, then just add the ending, which sounds pretty classy.
