cooking with pot - brownies, pasta, etc.

What you need to do is put as much weed as you want in a saucepan with the cooking oil the brownie recipe calls for. It's usually like half a cup or a few tablespoons or something, not much at all.

THEN you need to let the two simmer together for 3-4 hours on a very low heat. If you do it too hot it will burn the THC off the buds and they will literally go up in smoke. Simmering allows the oil to absorb the THC. The first half hour your house/apartment will smell DELICIOUS.
Just be careful not to get it all smokey - a low heat is all you want. You can then either crunch up the burnt-out buds that are in the pan and leave them or strain it, being careful not to loose any of the oil. I've found a coffee filter works best for straining it. Personally I prefer to just crunch up the buds and leave them there, no one notices them when they are just crumbs. Pour the mixture in with the other brownie ingredients and you are set to go.

You can also do this with cookies, pasta, chicken - any sort of food. Just let the oil absorb the THC first and then pour the oil into whatever you are cooking.

Hope it helps!

Enter any sheep shearing contests lately?

I don't think I would have made that trade. Maybe that's why they took down your ad?
And why did you post it in Jersey, anyway? Does Jersey even have any bears that aren't of the large gay man variety?


I used to want relationships like that video. Now I don't even know. I tend to get very confused with it all. Before the most recent one, it had been six girls in six months. I'm actually not very proud of that.
I will say this most recent was one of the few who actually stimulated me intellectually, which I quite enjoyed. I think I'm going to keep pursuing that. And she was willing to play dress-up and go to ridiculous costume things and other weird parties/activities. And you know I love those...

See I NEED you to meet them and zero in on their faults to show me everything that is wrong! Especially if I actually like them.
I fell asleep at 10:30 last night on my living room floor, surrounded by empty Thai food cartons. That is where my life is now.

I was at the circus thing in Brooklyn. Check out The Lady Circus. I think you will find it to your liking.

YOU are my reason for visiting! I do want to come, but I want to save a little more money first and get my bills paid off.
Will you go to Burning Man with me this year?

I got the Lacie HipServ. If you just google that you'll see it. It was about $100 for a half terabyte drive. iTunes sees it as an itunes server, but you can also mount it as a network drive and store the entire library on it - so you can store all your music on it and still transfer it to your phone/ipod.

I forgot about my reenactment! I think I did that entire thing without taking a breath. I just kept going and going. God. We were completely out of it that night.
I still think you should read it. There's even a rough manuscript of the first book told from Edward's perspective, and for 17 pages he just talks about how good Bella smells.
Literary genius. I can't recommend it enough.

Oh and that spelling and grammar requirement won't help you over their. Your going two wind up with someone who rights sentences like this one. I'd drop that and keep the reasonable credit rating - you'll have a better pool to choose from.

And since when do you like horses???


There is an Icebox Derby in Central Park this weekend. I wish you were here to compete with me.

Thoughts before bedtime...

2-0.

In an effort to increase my almost non-existent "stats", it seems that I should really cull my extensive list of deal-breakers (nice hands, a reasonable credit-rating, an interest in horses, etc.) down to one: spelling & grammar.

You leave me broken, shattered, I lie

So do you WANT to be in a relationship, or do you just want to be committed sexually? Boy of mine, it seems to me that you fall for girls more easily than I do. But godammit, I wish I could meet these girls of yours. I'm not sure I would be the protective older sister type, but I would definitely zero in on their faults for fun. It makes this part slightly more bearable. (Although, singing Love Shack exceptionally loud in a small-to-mid sized car with the windows down at sunset with your best friend after having your heartbroken works too. So I'm told.)

MC Hammer pants? Oh no you did ent. Wait, where were you at that had many cute girls?

Are you kidding me? A visit to Australia is right for so many reasons... But most people I know (and by most people, I mean, YOU) only need one reason:

And while I'm definitely going to try and jailbreak my phone, shop around for wireless storage (send me a link to the one you picked up, will ya?), and do some semi-exercising, I'm really going to have to pass on Twilight. You acted out the ENTIRE series for me from UnionSq to Natalie's, remember?! Besides, I read so few books that I really have to focus on the greats (hands up Vonnegut fans?)

Oh one last thing, I really want to bake brownies, and unless the ones you made me are from a secret family recipe, cough it up buster, they were incredible. Which reminds me:

It was at that moment, I realised...

Koala adoption?

Okay, so I posted this ad on craigslist and it lasted all of 10 minutes before the authorities swooped in for the kill and flagged it for removal. The bastards.

By the way, the photo in the ad depicts what koala bears do to cool down.

Too right, mate.

We still need that moped sidecar

Things clearly did not work out with the new girl. She has too much going on to want a relationship, and I actually like her and want to be in a relationship.
Did you know before her I had slept with 6 girls in 6 months? I stopped that for her!

I don't even feel like doing that to make myself feel better. I just want to wallow. Last night I drank quite a bit of Jack and got silly by myself. But tonight I made stilt pants and they are amazing! They're like MC Hammer pants and I love them. And many cute girls were there so that was nice.

I want to get out of town this weekend but there are so few people I'd want to go anywhere with - there aren't many people who will sing "I Swear" by All 4 One with me as we drive over the Tappan Zee.

What are the other kids in class like? Would we still be the tormented ones, or have we finally reached the point where we would be tormenting everyone else?
I think a lot of them wouldn't even know we were tormenting them - think our giggles and hysteria would give it away?


I think the bad often involve VJJ because we both like it! It is one of our strongest bonds, if you will...

I fully expect you to toss any child aside at that Of Montreal show. Throw them to the wolves! And I hope Kevin Barnes rides a horse on stage again. Or a pony. You have to let me know how it is, of course.
They're doing three shows next month or the month after and I'm too sad to buy tickets.

Yes I know I was invited, but I need to be able to afford the trip and now just is not a good time for so many reasons...

You should read the Twilight books. They are incredibly ridiculous and awful. But you might like them! You could easily read them all in a week or two, they take no time at all to complete. Just read the first one and you'll be hooked. Hooked I say!

I am going to find that "Take Me Out" cover and that dance scene. Here's a current five for me:

1. My jailbroken iPhone. I just did this last week and you should too. It is so much more powerful now, I can't believe I didn't do it before.
2. This wireless hard drive that also acts as a media server. I can now stream my video/music to anywhere in my apartment AND with my phone without any cables. And it's an ftp server.
I'm really pushing the limits of this 21st century technology
3. Leonard Cohen. I went to see him last Thursday, and it was just incredible. Did you know he has not played the states in 15 years?
There were a lot of old people there. And the guy from Law and Order who wears those sunglasses.
4. "The Shock Doctrine." It's this book about completely shocking different country economies to reform them into pure capitalist states run by, of course, American companies. It's quite good and I highly recommend it.
5. Semi-exercising. I feel like I'm getting too idle in my life, so I'm trying to be more active.

I didn't watch the Oscars! I was at Daniel's, and we had boys' night and watched the first two Underworld movies!
Those, I don't really recommend. Except for Kate Beckinsdale in her skin tight outfit.
Okay maybe you should see it.

I saw the giant koala sign in the sky

What's new, little brother?

I've just finished my first class at school and there are no cute girls, which means I'm either going to get great grades or I'm not going to show up at all. Ugh, it's so banal and rudimentary - I should be teaching the class... I wish you were there because we'd have SO much fun. Can you imagine the mischief we would get up to? I mean, the things we do in public alone... I want to torment the other kids in class with nobody but you.

By the way, while I was in class, I saw a double-decker tour bus out the window and immediately thought about how most of the times we've hung out have been punctuated with some lifelong memory - good and bad, but mostly good (the bad often involving VJJ).

Sorry for being so absent. I find it depressing to be on Facebook and gTalk and so on and so forth, but NOT BE THERE. So I throw myself into work and swimming and insulting people in general. One thing I am looking forward to is seeing of Montreal next week. Of course I have to play hooky but how could I give up the chance to disconnect the dots? Again, this is an outing that is blasphemous without you, but I have to blame it on the whole oceans apart thing. In my defence though, you WERE invited.

Okay, so to add to your brilliant idea of an allstar-blog, I would really like a regular Top 5 list of all the things that MXS is currently into. Especially since he was the one that introduced me to Los Campesinos and of Montreal and Twilight (as if) and and and...

Here are mine for this issue:

1. The little blonde girl on my bus (who may be homo, if her rainbow-coloured umbrella is anything to go by; but who is probably hetero, if her husband is anything to go by...)
2. Take Me Out covered by Guillemots
3. The dance scene from "A Relationship in Four Days"
4. Watching an outdoor jazz concert in the pouring rain at the zoo!
5. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (again, because I can and should)

One last thing for me to mention in this inaugural post is the fact that we are, above all, together forever because of our mutual appreciation of Freaks and Geeks (before it was even cool). Speaking of which, the only thing about the Oscars that I saw and didn't cringe at was that Pineapple Express scene. TOO FUNNY.
