Jul. 31st, 2014 09:46 amSo guys - I got these swords from this guy I know. They are awesome, all curved and shiny. I wanted a scimitar, but all he had was katanas and beggars can't be choosers, right? I bought two. Now I've just gotta figure out how to wield them without cutting anything important off myself. Don't worry, I only sliced my leg up like twice and there was hardly any blood. Seriously, this is gonna be epic.

Jun. 18th, 2014 11:45 pmCameroon, I am super disappointed in you. Not because you lost 4-0 to Croatia, but because you were hella unsportsmanlike. At least Song was. Punching somebody from behind is only acceptable in life or death situations and, while I know some people take the World Cup that seriously, it's really, really not. Uncool, dudes. Uncool.

Mar. 23rd, 2014 05:15 pmThis is your friendly mansion/brownstone/other announcement - popcorn, nachos, wienies, and various other food type things are available in the kitchen. The Tar Heels meet the Cyclones on the court in five minutes. Miss Qadir, I'll see you in the rec room. Yes, there are vegetarian things because McFrosty would slay me otherwise.

Mar. 14th, 2014 10:55 amPeople of the mansion, brownstone, and various other living situations -
LET IT BE KNOWN:
I've rented an island for all of spring break. I did this on the off chance that people might want to go to it, but it no one else does, me and my ladybird can have the whole thing to ourselves. And I'd be okay with that. But it's kind of a big island and there are multiple housing opportunities and it's tropical so. If you want in, let me know. And make sure your passports are up-to-date. Or that you've purchased enough fabric to appease Skittles, Goddess of Instant, Worldwide Transportation because I totally don't mind hiding you beneath the floorboards if, for some strange reason, random authorities decide to stop by and look at everyone's paperwork.

Jan. 22nd, 2014 10:37 amRight, people. It's time for a minion roll call - list your people name, your minion designation, and a suggestion for a person you think might make an awesome addition to your minion ranks.
One - two - three - GO!
Also, I'm now accepting unsolicited applications for minions. It's pretty simple - name, age, and a talent you have. Once accepted, you'll receive your minion designation and an invitation to your first minion social, which will be a viewing of the pilot episode of Golden Girls. Food will be provided, vegetarian options are available, though I request that you note your food preferences, requirements, and specifications on your application.

Nov. 27th, 2013 07:11 pmIn case anyone's wondering, there are so many examples of how I will not be frying turkeys tomorrow right over here that it kind of boggles my mind. On one hand - fiery oil. On the other - ruined turkey for American Thanksgiving.

Sep. 27th, 2013 02:15 pmSkittles, Skittles, Skittles! Look!
( So here's the thing... )
I can put that in the living room, right? Y'know, since I already bought it and everything.

Aug. 8th, 2013 11:02 pmSo I come home after a long, hard day of doing what I do... only to find this.
( What a sad, sad sight... )
My poor, poor grocery list - maimed. Abused. Very red.

Jun. 7th, 2013 11:44 amToday is National Doughnut Day.
In honor of this most awesome of days, there are sixty bajillion boxes of doughnuts in the kitchen in a variety of flavors from Count Donutula's. And a couple from Krispy Kreme, because I couldn't resist and they made them right in front of me. The Count's flavor of the week? Chorizo cheddar. Personally, I think it's delicious.
The Krispy Kreme guys were giving everybody a free doughnut. When I told them that I'd missed this day for the last thirty years and they should let me cash all that doughnutless time in, one said, "Ain't nobody got time for that," and then tried to boot me from the premises. Lucky for me, I'd already put in my order for six boxes, so he couldn't really get rid of me till they were done.

Mar. 29th, 2013 12:28 amMidnight shopping is oddly underrated. There was seriously no one at the store just now. That said, my mission was a success - there are now a dozen cartons of eggs in the kitchen. I don't care what your thoughts are on age-appropriate Easter activities are, I'm dying 144 eggs and hiding them all over the grounds on Sunday. Whoever finds the most gets a prize. Prize is yet to be determined but I'm taking suggestions.
Also, thanks to Lorna, there'll be food other than dyed eggs.
Be there or be square.
That means you, Ramsey.

Jan. 22nd, 2013 10:36 pmPretty sure that baked potato taco eating contest ended in a tie. Or possibly Kyle ate like one more of them than me. Whichever it was, there were no potatoes left in the kitchen this evening. So if more show up, we might need to send an apology note to the entirety of Idaho.

Nov. 21st, 2012 10:50 pmTomorrow there will be turkeys. They will be fried. They will be delicious. I will be cooking them and not catching anything on fire. Other people, bring vegetables. Lorna, I humbly request stuffing in muffin tins because that's the best way to do it.
Obviously, everyone should come eat turkey - I bought three big ones. That should be enough for everybody still at the mansion, right?

Sep. 8th, 2012 04:57 pmYoung weather gremlin of the Kaplan variety - if I wind up in Oz, I plan on trekking back here via the yellow brick road purely to give you my unimpressed face.
In other news, Golden Girls Season Three Marathon in the second floor rec room. Starts at seven, will run until somebody passes out, food will be provided. Be there or be square!

Aug. 17th, 2012 11:16 amYou guys, you guys - you will never guess where I am right now. I'm sitting at Union Station and it is hilarious. This is the fourth time I've heard Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" on the loud speaker system, the one they use to make announcements. I didn't do it, I swear, but whoever did - this is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. People are either bopping along to all the Lady Gaga songs ever or they're flipping out about why it's playing at all. On repeat. I totally just camped out here to watch everyone but I think I'll head over to Time Square to see if it's the same there.

Aug. 15th, 2012 09:58 amSo yesterday was pretty much the best birthday a guy could ask for. Not only did I get Taco Tuesday (hilariously awesome, obviously), I got the tacocopters again (never gonna get old), a taco cake (delicious), and a tin roof pie (even more delicious). Thumbs up for originality in your methods of delivery for gifts, people - Jubes, I especially liked the rollerblades. Cats, I was pretty sure I was gonna find a body in that cooler even though you told me that's where the pie was - it was like that theoretical cat in a box thing.
If anyone sees a giant, fluffy shark walking around, don't be afraid, it's just me trying to figure out my new sleeping bag. Angel, the plaque is going on my wall - like now. I am literally typing with one hand and hammering a nail with the other. Clarice might want to kill me. Also, 25 tracks of Bea Arthur's beautiful voice coming through my stereo - Meggan, as ever, you are the best at finding me things I didn't have before but that I desperately required.
So thanks, mansionites and brownstoners alike. You guys rock.

Jul. 4th, 2012 09:05 pmHappy 4th of July, people of the United States. Let freedom ring and all that awesomeness. Mostly, though, baseball - baseball was great in an 'everyone gets a trophy' sort of way. Meaning I just think it's funny that we lost but congrats to the winning team.
The burgers were amazing, if I do say so myself, though I had nothing to do with the making of them, just the grilling. Lorna had her hands all in that food, which explains why it was so delicious, obviously. There're plenty of leftovers in the main kitchen if anybody wants them.
My former potential progeny's girlfriend and my favorite mini-Sammy decided I was getting Sorted into Gryffindor today, so that was interesting. And unexpected. But kind of funny. I'm sort of glad I wound up reading those books with Molly. Though really, half-pint, I still think your obsession with Ron Weasley's a little weird. Endearing, but weird.
And now? Now I'm propped up with my particular ladyfriend in a strategic spot just waiting for the lights show to begin. Where's a Jubilee when you need one?

Jun. 24th, 2012 11:10 amFor everybody who missed Taco Tuesday, we're having an encore tonight. Same place, same time, same awesome main event, new and fantastic taco concoctions.
