I slept really badly last night, so I may as well make a pie. Because I love pie almost as much as sleeping, pie and sleep are interchangeable like that. So…also making up recipe as I go because sleep deprived. Ingredients list at the bottom for those interested.

Randomness:
I wish my local bakery would make bread this interesting. A plain loaf? Psh. A bloodied torso? Delicious!
The Bird and the Bee’s ode to David Lee Roth has an entertaining video: Diamond Dave. Oh Eric Wareheim, you’re silly.
Unusual canned foods? What’s so unusual about canned and roasted scorpions I ask?
I can’t say I’ve ever thought about what Miles Davis’ classic album “Kind of Blue” would sound like if it was ion 8-bit, but apparently someone else did. Warning: they want actual cash for the whole thing. The samples are well worth the visit though.
See Mad Magazine Fold-Ins from 1960 to now using Flash. Good work New York Times!
I bet your Orbs song isn’t half as annoying as mine. It made my dog actually howl. When you’re done creating chaos, check out a Flash game on the same site called Space Walker.
Halloween’s right around the corner, so don’t forget to make your Christopher Walken mask.
Want to see if the new username you’re thinking of taking has availability on many different sites? Check with this site first.
Can you guess the accent? My terrible score of 28 says that I myself can not.
Neil Young playing with Devo? It happened.

Hello again,
BlazBlue may always be on my mind, but I’m going to pry myself from it’s ridiculous-ice-car-spamming ways for a moment.
I am a total nerd for random Japanese stuff, so at some point I was doomed to get into miniatures. Currently, that means re-ment. For anyone not familiar with re-ment, they are collectible blind-box 1/6 scale miniatures with extreme attention to detail. Most of them are either food or food related, and being Chinese and Italian, I find that pretty hard to resist (yes, some stereotypes are true). I like cakes, so I’ve gotten a bit obsessed with the Elegant Sweets set, which is made up of fantastic looking desserts (mostly cakes!)

This is set #1. Everything is always carefully wrapped...

Look at all those cute little pieces! That's right, I think food is cute.
I’m also pretty obsessed with Kuroshitsuji right now – including the dolls from Jun Planning. I only have Ciel. I love that he is such an irritable and depressing shota character. Good thing he is always the one having tea and cakes!

Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji, Dal by Jun Planning
Re-ment photographs perfectly with 1/6 scale dolls, so this is becoming the slippery slope of one obsession feeding another (no pun intended!) The level of detail on this doll is incredible, from the articulation points to the face-up, and the elegant outfit is beautifully constructed. He even came with an eye patch and a walking stick! And the contract seal on his right eye is enough to please any OCD anime fangirl (*cough*ahem…) Being able to shift the eyes around with a switch is another creepy perk. Ciel is my first Jun Planning doll, and I couldn’t be happier with him. Expensive, but worth it. The gigantic heads…so cuuute……

omnomnomnomnom
So basically he just needs a friend (or a butler…:3 ), and until then he’ll be having tea and cakes alone!

That look says ''Maybe you should just get a cat...?''
