[Thoughts Before Bed]

With paychecks looking to be starting in mid March, I'm looking forward to cooking fancy pants meals again. I'm looking forward to trying Three Cups Chicken: https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/three-cup-chicken/

Quick question for a friend looking for long-form blogging options (that I'd be interested in as well).

We're looking for something akin to a modern day Livejournal or Dreamwidth. I'd rather not create a Livejournal (it's dead and Russian owned) or Dreamwidth (It's mostly dead). Preferably free.

Jenn's day:

Noon - Wake Up
12:01PM-12:36AM - TWELVE HOURS OF BUSY

Milley isn't there to stop it this time. It's getting kind of scary for us out there.

Images before Bed.

"Andrea Banking Towards a Mountain." Drew this for the comic way back in 2013. Very poignant for my last few weeks.

Easy open box my Aunt Fanny.

I made this batch with lard instead of shortening. They're not as good....

@mxtiffanyleigh Sounds like an opportunity! :D

Hey, all! Some fun ST:TMP related news!

As you may know, I'm a fan of Movie Archaeology, digging into early drafts of movies. ST:TMP got me started in that, and was the subject of my first comparison page of all the drafts and movies, which you can see here: http://dolari.net/startrek/tmp/index.html

What CAN'T you see? The actual scripts (unless you ask real nice). Mainly because I can't afford the bandwidth for some of these scripts to be downloaded. However, the folks over at Forgotten Trek have made some of the scripts I have available for reading!

Read Phillip Kaufman's "Star Trek: Treatment for the Motion Picture " (a last ditch attempt to keep Star Trek: Planet of the Titans afloat) here: https://forgottentrek.com/phase-2/planet-of-the-titans-the-film-that-wasnt/

Read both Harold Livingston's Rough Draft and Gene Roddenberry's Second Draft of "In Thy Image" here: https://forgottentrek.com/phase-2/in-thy-image (The Rough Draft was written for the proposed TV show, and the Second Draft was written as the production was moving towards Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

I do have other drafts of the movie, which aren't hosted online right now, but if you'd like to read them, let me know.

So I bought some frozen samosas and it came with mint and tamarind chutney. Love the stuff. But I was wondering...the very first Indian restaurant I went to in State College, PA, had TOMATO chutney. It was REALLY REALLY good. I've never seen it anywhere but that one restaurant.

I need to learn to make that cause it was really good.

Protip: When baking food, remember to put the food IN the oven.

i can cook gud

The only thing dumber looking than a Cybertruck is a Cybertruck with a camper shell.

One of my favorite pieces of movie soundtrack music reduced to one piano that sounds every bit as good as the orchestral version.
