I'm no longer on Twitter, but I check in on friends who are still there and no where else (I'm happy to help you move to Mastodon, you know).

Nice to see some of the places on Twitter haven't changed.

This Week's Meals - Zelda Spectacular (1/3): Yeto's Superb Soup.

I love going on about this one because you wouldn't think pumpkin, feta cheese and salmon would work, but it absolutely does. Atleast when the salmon is fresh. And didn't go bad in the fridge. Oi. Had to go out and buy another salmon filet.

I love the smell of really hot olive oil.

It's almost like Twitter is erecting a wall. That would keep people from escaping. On pain of death of their accounts. Like...some kind of...iron curtain.

I was wondering when I'd pass out from the bad sleep.

Last Boost: She knows EXACTLY where she is.

Jenn: I hate setting alarms in a weekend. Even if it's a late alarm.
Body: Then you're going to absolutely love me waking you up after five hours of fitful sleep and not letting you back to sleep!

So, the first batch of Kolaches was a massive failure. The second was overcooked but made for Thanksgiving guests. The third was under-rised, and made for a potluck.

Do I make a fourth just for myself and freeze them? My christmas gift to myself was usually kolaches from Weikels. I could just MAKE them for me.

OR DARE I ATTEMPT THE ONE THING I JUDGE BAKERIES ON? THE HOLY GRAIL OF BAKING? THE MUTHASHEEP OF PASTRY?

CINNAMON ROLLS?

Computer Generated Jenn watches "Computer Generated" Max Headroom.

The latest iteration of "Saturday Sci-Fi Theater" is now:

10:30PM-11:30PM - Night Gallery
11:30PM-12:30AM - Star Trek: The Next Generation
12:30AM-1:30AM - Max Headroom

I adore Max Headroom. I really loved the sadly shortlived cyberpunk genre of TV Sci-fi. It's kind of funny how close we ended up getting to that.

I loved how the production had the show as 25fps film, but any video screens and POVs from cameras were 60fps.

Also, Amanda Pays as Theora? Baby Jenn's Trans Goals.

Tonight's ST:TNG is "Family." One of the reasons I thought Season 4 of TNG really did stand on it's own was that this was one of the few episodes that I didn't think TOS could do, and was so different from the original Star Trek, but so right for Next Generation.

An episode that explored family with so many characters so deeply. It was an Star Trek episode only TNG could so.
