Um... there's none left over. My b-day was about 3 weeks ago and the cake never lasts that long. :P But, here's some cake that magically appeared...

Lotesse · 08-10-2005, 11:32 PM

Ooooo, I want some magic cake!! I'll contribute ice cream, I have some haagen-dasz pistachio ice cream here I brought for everyone. Help yourself - it's over in the freezer.

Me too. But to a large degree it is now an expected occurence at my place. The teaspoons just get replaced, no questions asked.

Thoght I'd pop in for a nice afternoon glass of wine. I just picked up this bottle of Cab Sauv from south-eastern australia - that is to say, I bought it at a store here in L.A., but the wine's been imprted from Australia

... anybody else care for a drop? and there's still some magic cake in the fridge from yesterday. It turned out to be dark chocolate 4-layered cake with this creamy mocha sort of filling/frosting. Tastes damn good with Cab Sauv.

Andúril · 08-11-2005, 07:31 PM

Thanks, but I reckon it's bed time for me. G'night.

Lotesse · 08-11-2005, 07:36 PM

Already?! It's only late afternoon here in California... well then, Anduril, goodnight it is . ciao, see ya 'a domani'...

Lief Erikson · 08-12-2005, 01:26 AM

Gosh, I never realized that we lived so close, Lotesse! I live in Orange County, city Fountain Valley.

Lief Erikson · 08-12-2005, 01:29 AM

Appear, post, appear!

Lotesse · 08-12-2005, 01:33 AM

Woah. That's true; you're not too far away! Ciao, neighbor!

Lief Erikson · 08-12-2005, 01:43 AM

Well, talk to you later

. I'm actually going to bed now. I only got five to six hours sleep each of the last few nights, so I'm wiped out.

Heh. It was 01h30. And I have to be up at 06h15 if I'm going to get to work on time.

Alas, the difficulty of time zones.

"Hiccup!" Errrr..... "Burp!" Just, errrr, making the rounds to mention I'm back... "Hiccup!"

Lotesse · 08-12-2005, 01:29 PM

Drink water upside down while holding your nose. Works 4 me every time, to ix-nay the hiccups.
Real glad 2 see U back, EarthBound! Want a cup of coffee? I just brewed a pot of Hawaiian Kona Blend, it's great stuff.

What color is a Burp.............Burple, of course....

Hey, I found a way to get rid of hiccups. I was thinking that when I forget about them, they go away, and are therefore related to what I'm thinking. So I tried really hard to just concentrate on not hiccuping, intense concentration here. It worked perfectly, not a single hiccup once I started. Then one day I thought I had lost it- it didn't work at all. But since then, I have had one sucessful incident and no further escaping hiccups.

Lotesse · 08-12-2005, 03:44 PM

Hey, Katya, how are ya? Mind over matter can really work, it's true what you say about conquering hiccups that way. Shows you've got a naturally strong mind. The same sort of strength which makes it impossible for anyone to hypnotise you.

Lotesse · 08-12-2005, 04:08 PM

Man o man, I think I need to get out of the house today & go to the beach or something. I'm getting dangerously addicted to entmoot as of late; plus it's a gorgeous day today.
Ah, well.

Hey! I'm doing pretty well, and you? Ah, man I was kind of hoping I would be hypnotizable. I'd like to try it. I have the Standford Hypnotizability Scale script and I've been meaning to try it out on someone.

It's cloudy here today (and it's getting late) so I can Moot without guilt. Except that I have to finish Devil May Cry 2 before I leave... I died. >_< "Your soul is doomed!" Noooo!

Spock's sig:
Have you ever noticed how some days you just get washed over by the sense of cosmic emptiness and lack of meaning?

Nihilism? Yes.

I am a nihilist though, so it's bound to happen. For the most part, I try to ignore it. But my psychologist has an interesting theory that says in spite of my lacklustre attempt to live as if there was some fundamental existential meaning--or when not actively trying to counteract the nihilism (i.e. ignoring it and getting caught up in existence)--the nihilism serves as a subconcious influence on my psyche and hence physiology.

Bleh.
