Dec. 27th, 2005 06:13 pmI have not updated this journal in almost a week and I feel no remorse! Okay, maybe a little.
The downstairs bathroom is being re-painted just now, so I have to go upstairs to take a shower. Toilet's still okay to use, though, which is something of a relief.
Just tried making the Sluggy Snowball Cookies today, and they are fine and tasty, even if they do get powdered sugar absolutely everywhere. Half of the batch is made sans nuts to appease my brother.
( In which socchan brags about holiday loot )
Tomas and I also had the wonderful experience of learning how to cook a turkey =_= It was 20 lbs and free-range from a friend's farm. It was also their smallest bird this year. I mostly learned for the sake of learning, since I'm really not much of a turkey person.
Started on New Year's gifts yesterday, which is better than last year when I put things off until the night of. I think I'm probably not going to play the guessing game with most of you this year, so if you haven't requested something or I haven't promised something be sure to hop on down and ask. Otherwise you'll just be stuck with the generic gifts (which go to lurkers and non-askers and non-designatees).
I would also like to argue that archery is one of the slashiest sports in existence. No, really. It gives swordsmanship a run for its money, man. I'm actually tempted to write a Donuts fic to this effect, but the plunny I have for it is threatening to turn into pr0n and I think I already have enough of those lined up.
Edit: OMG, Mangaviewer has updated the Detective Conan section to include the rest of the Kid heist from book 44! :O ...Though it is now slightly redundant. Shit, they're into book fifty! Book fifty-one, even!
Truly it has been a good week for Detective Conan fans.
