Fashion Finds

Harmony: 

So it's no mystery that I love shopping and fashion in general. I am also not ashamed to find killer deals. Below are some amazing things I have found, all for under $25 :)

Burger Mouth sent this to me. She's just discovering the glory that is Benedict Cumberbatch's cheekbones.

This cocktail is actually from our friend Aurora's tumblr, Simply Uncanny! We've yet to try it, but when the summer months come, it's on! 

Benedict Cumberbatch Cocktails

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 cucumber
• 1 lime
• 40 ml Elderflower Cordial
• Sparkling Water
• Sugar
• 2 measures Vodka

Directions: 

1. Top and tail your cucumber. Halve it length-wise and peel it. Using a spoon, remove the pulp and cut it into chunks. 
2. Roll the lime on your countertop to get the juices flowing and cut in half.
3. Blend 1 tbsp sugar, a splash of sparkling water for easy blending, the juice from the lime, and the cucumber chunks in a blender or food processor.
4. Using a sieve, drain the liquid from this concoction into a cocktail shaker. Add your 2 measures of Vodka and shake it like a polaroid picture.
5. Fill your chilled wine glasses half-way with ice. Pour 20 ml of elerflower cordial over the ice.
6. Add sieved concoction to wine glass, stir with spoon. Add one or two of the cucumber peelings for glamorous effect!

Enjoy!

Melissa makes Mac and Cheese

Melissa: 
Like food? Like Mac and Cheese? Like pretending to be healthy? Welcome to my world. In my latest blog post I have a recipe for Mac and Cheese with Cauliflower and Leeks. Enjoy it! 


Don't Feed the Actor: Mac and Cheese with Cauliflower and Leeks

Birthday time!

Melissa: 

Today is Melissa's Brother's Birthday!!! He's 21, and will probably not be drinking because he "has class in the morning." Fuck that shit and drink, kid! You're Asian; I demand you be as red-faced as I was on my birthday! (just don't drink with Welshies, like I did on my birthday. That ended in my tears on the streets of Covent Garden). 

Anyway, I also have a blog post up on my recipe blog: Don't Feed the Actor. What can I say, I like food. And baking, and more food.

Drunk pics of my bro soon to come!

Dear Walking Dead TV Writers

Dear Walking Dead TV Writers,


        I hate zombie times. Zombies times is shit-my-pants times. Zombies times is scary times. I hate zombies so much that if I see someone dressed as a zombie on Halloween I run screaming in the other direction. (You think I'm joking.) Even though zombies scare me, I am hooked on your show.


        That being said...


        ZOMBIE TIMES IS NOT SOAP OPERA TIMES. I thought I signed up to watch a show about humans fighting zombies when really it's like watching As The World Turns or some shit like that. Here are some things I would like to see happen before the end of the season

1.  Do NOT have the pregnant chick make decisions! She's hormonal and doesn't know what she's doing. If anything, have a zombie eat the fetus. 
2.  Stop fucking up Glen's love life. He doesn't have a lot of options in zombie times so a moral compass is not something he needs to gain. 
3. More Boondock Saints guy!!! He made a fucking necklace out of ears, of ears, and then disappeared from the show.
4. Who's the chick that's in shock laying in the bed? Where did she come from and why do we care? 
5. As much as I hate to say it MORE ZOMBIES. MORE ZOMBIE FIGHTS AND DID I MENTION MORE ZOMBIES. 

        Dare I compare your show o Walking Dead TV writers to that of Lost where they fell so high and so hard and fucked everything after the first couple of seasons? You have comic books to follow. Stop trying to put your own creative spin on things and follow the comics. Without the brilliance of those writers you wouldn't have a job. 

        Oh yea, and can we please leave the fucking farm already?!!

XOXO,

        Rachel

And that's why you always leave a note:

The note Burger Mouth left on the car who took her parking spot: 


"I've got the leg cancer and I have no legs. Please don't park in my spot. I had to crawl to my house
- Shiver Me Timbers."  

Guy Problems

Melissa: 

Our latest video! If you listen closely, we are spouting facts about our real lives. These aren't made up boy problems. Multiply this by four, and that's the Quad! Double that and it's me and my Chinese friend, Judy! 

Hellz Yeah!

Melissa: 

Same-sex Marriage is totally legal in Washington State! I'm so proud of this state, being all liberal and progressive and shit. Now someone please explain to me why, in this day and age, 1) this is actually still an issue, and 2) if the gays can get married, why is my right to birth control an issue? 


These are rhetorical questions. I grew up in Oklahoma. Trust me, I know the answers. 


PS- I know Harmony will wanted noted that same-sex marriage has been legal in Connecticut for a while now. Trendsetters 

Valentine

Love You Melissa, Katie, & Rachel!!!

Living In Moments

One day I would like to write novels for a living. In the meantime, here's a poem I scratched out while bored in American Short Stories (Sorry Emily Rapp! I loved you as a teacher but some of the content was dull.)  fall of 2010.
