- Menu Idea #1, #2

– Mags to subscribe Jas to – Ladybug, Spider, Cricket, and Muse (my sisters and I used to get these magazines and they were awesome. And also the reason why I LOVE mags. Seriously, Cricket and Muse were my favs)(although I’ll start her off with a year of Ladybug and upgrade from there)(but I’m seriously tempted to subscribe to Muse again for myself…)

– Find new dentist under our insurance

– Replace batteries in fire alarms (4 have so far died but we have 5 working so no worries)(we have one in every room and yet no fire extinguisher – which amuses and concerns me at the same time)

– Henna

GENERAL QUESTION FOR THE COSMOS: Is there a really good resource online for learning to script in Java? I need the Funky Chickens version (ie. majorly watered down and written for massively stupids but still a good starting point). Also an idiots guide to scripting with PHP because my PHP knowledge is limited to include files and that is it. Thanks in advance.

I’ve been sitting on a really funny link for about two hours today trying to think of something terribly witty to say that links it to my life but honestly, the link is just so damn amusing that it needs no interlude.

And all my jokes were kangaroo pouch related so it really works for the best that I’m not going to use them.

Stoned wallabies are the reason for crop circles found in parts of Australia. Apparently the little beasts get high in medical poppy fields and bounce in circles out of excitement! Serious. It’s on the BBC.

If that isn’t the most profound thing you’ve read today, please raise your hand.

Calling all cooks or avid googlers, I’m looking for the easiest possible way to cook roast beef so that it still comes out tasting amazing.

I ate three plates of roast beef yesterday at a buffet (what? I need the iron) and I’ve got to start cooking it up at home. I’ve never tried it before but I do have a crock pot and I also have one of those turkey roasting pans that you can fit 9 month old babies in although I’d rather not use that because then that means it’d have to go in the oven and good God our house would be positively sweltering. I am going to be picking up a roast sometime this week when I get to the grocery store and umyescookingit. Even in this melt your skin off weather because that food was damn delicious.

Um. So, I was curious if anyone has special recipes that they know they enjoy or can find a recipe that the innernets agree is fabulous or something. Because while I trust my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, I don’t actually like to use it when I’m cooking. Everything I cook is a printed out recipe from online somewhere, on the back of a box, or is a jumble of what food we had available at the time to turn into a dinner.

ANYWAY. Thoughts, ideas, what have you. Share share.

Louis Armstrong: All Time Greatest Hits CD
– has my two favorite songs by him on it, What a Wonderful World and La Vie en Rose

I always feel so special hearing those songs. Transport yourself.

I have a feeling I’m not going to wait until my birthday to get it. Seeing as how they have new cds for under $10…
