let’s go see Raoul, in a friendly place


What’s that coming over the hill?
Ohmigod it’s a lion, get in the car!

Like a well-lit doughnut shop, because fankly I’m kind of nervous around the guy and would appreciate some hospitable surroundings (and maybe a doughnut) to put me at my ease.

So yes, The Automatic have some very disturbing lyrics. Catchy tunes, for sure, just don’t listen all that hard.

Things that are bothering me:

1 – my arse hurts. No, not like that. Like, the bit you sit on if you’re kind of relaxing in a comfy chair. The coxcyx? I don’t know, but I don’t sit like thise very often, so why would it hurt?

3 – Is my hair too long? It’s not helping in this heat, but I’m digging how it looks. The jury is out.

F – I have fuck all desire to do anything at all right now, much less compose a CV. Fuck. Also: what sort of LoD does it need? Do they need all my GCSEs, do they even care what I got my A-levels in? The answers are not forthcoming.

vii – You know Americans call a CV a resumé? But they still have CVs, a sort of specialised, highly academic resumé. This makes googling the matter precarious.

2 – I have nothing I’m watching right now. The TV shows I was following have run out. Fuckers. One even got cancelled too. I think perhaps I have a of backlog of stuff that has been acquired but not watched? I’ve still not consumed Alien 3, maybe I’ll do that tonight? Oh, and most of the Superman cartoon, but it’s pretty lame.

17 – I really could go for a doughnut right now, which I am not supposed to eat. They are wheaty to their very essence. You ever see a gluten-free doughnut? No. To me and my people, doughnuts are as bacon to a vegetarian. They tempt us, Stanley, they tempt us so.

  • You are flexing your culinary muscle, right?

    ‘Cause I hear the have the internet on computers now:

    1 cup sugar
    1 ½ cup GF flour mix
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    ½ teaspoon xantham gum
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1 ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
    1 ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    ½ teaspoon allspice
    ½ cup oil ( or 1/4 c oil and 1/4 c applesauce or pumpkin puree)
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon GF vanilla
    ½ cup buttermilk
    ½ cup boiling water

    Mix dry ingredients together. Add oil ( and fruit puree if reducing fat) and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add buttermilk and water a little at a time to the mix. Bake in preheated donut maker coated with GF cooking spray. Bake 3 minutes. These may also be baked in a sandwich maker–but bake 7 minutes.

    Chocolate donuts:
    Same as above but eliminate cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Add 1/2 c cocoa and follow above recipe.
