Random bits before I go scrape up a late dinner

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SUGARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

I tried to take a nap, but I was so wired from the chocolate that it was impossible. Damn.

Sister Girl did bring home doughnuts--she said the pastry kids were disappointed with them, because they were expecting them to turn out like Krispy Kremes (and I ask you, really: if Krispy Kremes were that easy to make, would any of us ever leave the house? I think not), and they turned out heavier and plainer. I mean, they're good, and have a bit of cinnamon about them, and aren't too sweet. I actually like them, but I can see how you'd be disappointed if you were expecting The Doughnuts from Heaven.


Pimp Request Amnesty Week continues:

From mentalrant: "A new Lord of the Rings community on the block, it's been great so far but we need more people! lotr_happy--because everyone knows LOTR = happiness."

From Michael: "Here's the link I'd like pimped: it's for a free biography of the late Pope. It requires an email address and a physical address (to ship the book to). Thanks!"

I feel like I've forgotten someone's request--let me know if you left me one and I forgot to post it.


Misc. links:

Chinese Men Measure Up to Others Below the Belt: I'll tell you the reason this article is so popular on Yahoo News--it's not because anyone cares about Chinese men in particular. It's because, in order to determine whether Chinese men compare favorably, you've got to have figures on everyone else. That's why I read the article, for sure. And... I am not terribly impressed with the numbers they came up with, let me tell you what.



Thanks, allthelivesofme!
