Holy Cernunnos's Antlers! Where did December go? I've really got to get those two packages that I haven't even completely bought yet into the post as soon as possible. Like, perhaps tomorrow. I should probably blow off going to the newly-reopened Gallery with Steph and Jacinta--there's guilt, but the likelihood of me getting up in time and also going to Chadstone on the way is low.

Went to see Wendy perform tonight. 'Twas awesome, as always. It's the first time I've seen her play since she got back from her tour. Steph also bought me Alex (attractive violinist who looks like Billy Boyd)'s CD, and it's very cool--particularly the last track.

Y'know, if GWB gets reelected on the strength of him having found Saddam, I vote that we bomb America off the face of the Earth. I'm planning on giving all the cool people asylum beforehand in Australia. We have a whole lot of room, and I'm sure any Texans among them would feel right at home either in WA (lots of desert--Texas has desert, right?) or QLD. Not only that, lots of them will be white, and most at least speak English, so I'm sure the Howard Government wouldn't mind letting them in! Hell, Radish and Buhfly and Urbanfae can come live in my roof. There may not be lots of room, but we'll have taken out Bush. I think that's a step forward. Now we just need to work out some sort of way of saving Canada. And after the bombing? A really cool repatriation program! We could use the money we're currently using so that Howard and Bush can wank over Iraq, and we could rebuild America from the ground up! It's be really cool, just like in The Stand, only without Randall Flagg. It's an idea right on par with invading Iraq, I reckon!

I've already had to delete my first icon to make way for a new one, since getting the full 50 icons. My angst is so great.

I want to make a Gingerbread House. But not just any gingerbread house. Hmm.

This page makes me want to make the Moulin Rouge out of gingerbread. That would rock harder than Mick Jagger's underpants.

[Note to self: use ground ginger.]

Happy birthday, scott_wells, even though it's tomorrow here!

I have spent about an hour researching the set of the Moulin Rouge, and sketching it, so I can make it out of gingerbread. I am beyond help. Not to mention that it's almost definitely going to fail beyond repair.

Question:

For all you Americans on my flist, I have a cooking question:

Are your standard measurements the same as ours? Is a teaspoon = 5 mLs, a tablespoon = 20 mLs, and a cup = 250 mLs?

Just to clear things up:

My suggestion that we bomb the US was parodic, drawing attention to the "logic" that was used to invade Iraq. See? Parody. Quite simple. If I was Saturday Night Live, you would have laughed at this already.
