~ITEM: my favorite former babysitting clients are really just amazingly awesome people. I did not properly appreciate it at the time, but they found me on Facebook and are all joining groups that are pro-human rights and talking about soccer season and I'm all...wow, I bet we could have been friends if I wasn't so incredibly socially handicapped. I'm glad they found me!

~ITEM: it's weird to go to library storytime and only have to watch Jeeves and Wooster; I'm used to having to constantly headcount, chase toddlers out of corners, and watch for pinchy fingers. Also, it's weird being called "one of the moms" but Awkward to say, "They're not mine" so I just sort of smile politely.

~ITEM: I think I'm going to have to cut like a third of the essay I'm writing on feminism and sexuality because it's too friggin personal for my English class; however, I'm thinking I will probably post it publicly on LJ. My life, so logical.

~ITEM: I really wish I could figure out why I am so damn TIRED all the time lately. It's ridiculous.

~ITEM: coarse-ground cornmeal is NOT AT ALL what I should have used for cornbread. *sigh*

~ITEM: Greta wanted to write something POWERFUL and POP, but NOT OVERLY SENTIMENTAL. I adore her darling FACE and her IDEA OF FEMININITY and basically EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. Not that any of you are surprised about that. (But now I want to hunt down her new boys' former bands' music.)

Maybe they were awesome before they knew you, but I choose to believe that your grace falls like gentle rain on those near you in some fruitily sentimental Shakespearean fashion.

I think the least-awkward I've heard that sentiment is: I can't believe I get paid to take care of them. :D

If life were easy we would entertain ourselves finding ways to make it complicated. And the blogging would be really dull.

I am going to steal a Sam tomorrow and blog about MSG. GLUUUUTEEN!!! *fistshake*

But it makes good polenta? Especially if you put the herbs, etc. in at the last minute.

I'm digging on Travie McCoy's latest track on his myspace.

If that were so I think Oldest Bro would have melted like the Wicked Witch of the West by now, lol.

What is a polenta? *puzzled*

[whitneyandbryan.livejournal.com]

Polenta is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous stuff. You can either serve it soft--a la consistency of mashed potatoes, or make it firmer and form it into cakes. It is mostly cornmeal and milk or water, but if you want really good polenta, you'll add loads of delicious CHEESE, and herbs, as flamingsword mentioned. Easy to make, too. It's Italian in origin.

Oh, wow, that sounds delicious. I shall have to consider pursuing it, especially as I have all this cornmeal I need to use up...

[whitneyandbryan.livejournal.com]

It is utterly delicious. I have a basic recipe for it from culinary school if you want it. If not, there are loads of them online, though I'd trust a high-rated Allrecipes one or one from Food Network's website over any others. Let me know. :) And you must tell me how you like it. Because if you add cheese... you will like it. ;)

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Ooo, yes, I'd love your recipe, if you don't mind!
