Saturday rambling

[jouissant]

* I started a stupid Tumblr. I'm bearhorns.tumblr.com if anyone is interested. I still basically hate it but I fear missing ST insanity in May so I am succumbing.

* Watching TV and movies with my husband has broken my suspension of disbelief. Case in point, I watched the first two episodes of Teen Wolf and I'm about to watch the third. I am incredibly bothered by the fact that they're playing lacrosse in the fall when I'm pretty sure high school lacrosse is always a spring sport. Why this should affect my enjoyment of an MTV show about teenage werewolves is a mystery to me. This is why I don't watch anything I actually care about with S because he is a ruiner.

* Re: Teen Wolf- it's growing on me. I enjoy the banter between Scott and Stiles and I'm curious about Derek and the "rules" of werewolfness in the TW universe. Not sure I'm interested in the fandom, but never say never, I guess. It's a good mix of cute, funny, and creepy so far.

* S is on a mini roadtrip with a friend of his so it's just the little and me today. I am way too excited about putting the kiddo to bed, watching a movie, drinking some wine, then maybe doing some writing. And making the best soup ever for dinner.

I can't even remember if I'm dogpoet or garryowen at tumblr. I hate tumblr. Ugh.

I have similar issues with TW. Like, the part I had the most trouble believing in one ep was the fact that Scott would get out of bed in the morning IN FRONT OF HIS MOM while wearing only boxer briefs. THAT was my problem. Not, oh, the WEREWOLVES. *facepalms*

[jouissant]

Haha! There was something else like that that really bothered me but now I can't remember what it was. But no, not the werewolves. Never the werewolves!

[garryowen]

Maybe werewolves don't get morning wood. *nods*

Noooooo not tumblr! I'd link you mine except I never use it anymore so what would even be the point.

Teen Wolf... my problems with Teen Wolf cannot be itemized in this comment field. But I am pretty fussy about my TV (given that I have seen so much of it).

I don't normally go for soup but I clicked that recipe and then I saved it. SK always gets me. Always. I have like half of her cakes bookmarked. *facepalm*

That soup is damn good. I found the recipe less than a month ago and I've already made it like 5 times. I was skeptical when she was like, "this doesn't even need stock, just use water" but somehow it manages to be incredibly flavorful. I made a huge pot yesterday and am getting really excited about lunch already. Do you bake a lot?

I am pretty picky about TV, too. Mostly I'm lazy about keeping up with it and not many shows are compelling enough to make me. I did not watch the third episode yesterday; instead I watched Hotel Transylvania which was totally cute.

I don't bake super frequently at the moment but I admit to being a pretty deft hand in the kitchen. I improvise a lot.

Per capita, not a lot of shows engage me either. But I'm keeping up with a number of decent ones at the moment.

I'm impressed; baking seems very mysterious and intimidating to me.

[waketosleep]

Baking can be tricky to improvise but with a recipe, all you really need to be successful is the ability to follow directions and to tell when things are cooked through (and a toothpick yields that answer in 90% of cases). Start with cookies! Cookies are very forgiving. I have been known to take them out of the oven too early and put them back in ten minutes later, they still turn out like they should.
