i pickled the figs myself

My foolish, greedy cat decided to sample some olive oil and balsamic vinegar, started huffing and wheezing and then drooling uncontrollably, and ran upstairs while I frantically looked up whether vinegar was toxic for kitties. It is not, so I went upstairs and found her nursing her hurt pride under my bed. She's more aggressive about getting attention these days, now that I have a CPAP and don't allow her into my room at night since she nibbles at the tubing.

Watched Rent! Live the other night (my god it was long) and it seems so unnecessary that they had to kibosh most of it due to one dude's broken foot. No understudy, really? Is this an episode of Glee? Anyhow why am I even complaining, I only watch Rent in order to yell at the characters and interject 'Baggage!" at inappropriate places.

We've been watching the Brit and the Canadian Great Baking Challenges, and it makes my fingers itch to start experimenting in the kitchen again. But I get tired so easily these days! I mostly end up sleeping if I have free time, sigh. My counselor advised me to make myself do something when I feel that way, any old thing, and some days that works and some it doesn't. Which is why one side of my bed has a passable floor and the other side has a Mount Doom of half my wardrobe dumped on it. The cat takes a running leap to get over it.

I had perogie pizza for lunch and now I feel so bloated, urgh. Why do I eat at Boston Pizza ever? Why is it even named Boston Pizza? 

Randomly, I came across a Watchmen ficlet that gave me shivers, it's so good. It's for P*rn Battle, though, so maybe not workplace reading.

Why is it even named Boston Pizza?


I have that same question about Boston Pizza; I *live* here and AFAICT there is not a Boston pizza style the same way there is very clearly a New York style pizza (foldable, large, light char) or New Haven (crunchy, charred) or Chicago deep-dish or Detroit (Sicilian squared) or St. Louis (cracker crust). We *maybe* have a few more Greek pizza places than the average city, but we have far more places claiming to be either New York style or Neapolitan style than Greek.

... also, they didn't have an understudy for the injured Rent performer? That seems like a 101-level failure.

Aww poor kitty! Glad she's okay.

Yesterday Jasper couldn't keep away from my tasty soup even though it was too hot for his kitty tongue. He lapped once or twice and then I saw him over on the other side of my desk licking random books and walls and stuff to try and cool his tongue. XD

What exactly is a perogie pizza? My dad’s family is Polish & my mom’s is Italian so I get the individual components, but I’ve never seen them together?

Ooh, there's another series of the Canadian bake-off? Super! I loved the first one!

Poor kitty! Mine once ate a peppercorn that had had feta on it, and that was a vet visit, so I'm glad yours is okay!
