The Canada Revenue Agency warns Canadians of mail scam.

I've heard that not all of you have seen this yet:

The Purple Purl will be on Breakfast Television (City TV and CP24) on Thursday, October 16 between 7 and 9 am EST. If you're up early and want to catch the Purl Girls, that's where they'll be!

meneathiel and I were discussing recipes the other day. Here are my winter favourites, both from VintageRecipes.net:


Pot Roast of Beef with Browned Potatoes
dw's tip: get a roast marked "pot roast" or the worst cut you can find.


The Beef Stew recipe, remarkably similar to the pot roast recipe.
dw's tip 1: pour in a Guinness right before the hot water.
dw's tip 2: use "stewing beef", not chopped sirloin.


Both recipes are super-easy, highly configurable, and create their own perfect gravy. Huge hits at my house, usually on Sunday nights.


What are your cold weather favourites?


And meneathiel, because you asked, my current favourite beer: Okocim
From Okocim Brewery, Poland
LCBO 282368

I dreamt I snogged Michelle Williams.

Was this there all along?

Edit: strikethru means I tried, but the show failed.

A mix for the bbtp_challenge!
Contains coarse language, explicit lyrics, and mature themes.

Gimme yer vid recs!

• Did you know IJ maxes out at skip=1000? It's also miserably slow back there in the archives. Pixel dust in the transducer, maybe?


• I've been successfully avoiding X-Files movie spoilers! I'm determined to see it this week, though.


• Have you seen the Tony/Maxxie Skins vid You Make Me Wanna by obsessive24? HOT.


• And the True Blood trailer! (youtube) And relatedly, Blood Copy.


• The SGA folks answer a few questions at i09. (spoilery for S5)


• I'm working on a music mix for Bring Back the Porn 0908. So far, I think it's going well.


• Watching HBO's Generation Kill. It's a Jarhead/Band of Brothers xover. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

And because I haven't seen anything about it yet,
( S5 SGA spoilery stuff )

More later when I actually get, y'know, somewhere actually close to caught up.

I'll be right back as soon as I catch up.

Looks like I'm the only one posting at p365 now that meneathiel_p365 is done.

Dr. Scully: The Complete Adventures - The Collector's Edition

Yep, Feist with a version of "1, 2, 3, 4" on Sesame Street. Too cool for school!

Don't we all know one of these super-hot geek girls? Or maybe you secretly are one of these super-hot geek girls! I know some hot chicks with super powers who could should be in this calendar.

Thanks amalthia!

The five songs meme:

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.


anniemoon gave me the letter H. It turns out I have a lot of songs that begin with H, and it's difficult to limit the list to just 5, but here goes:

1. Bauhaus - Hope
   I'm pretty sure it's because of the bass that I love this song. I heard it for the first time only about five years ago, but it makes its way into the rotation regularly.


2. Love and Rockets - Haunted (When the Minutes Drag)
   It makes sense to follow Bauhaus with Love and Rockets, and this is the song that completely turned me on to L&R. This is the 8:02 version, not the USA Mix.


3. HorrorPops - Hitchcock Starlet
   Because Patricia Day is just that cool.


4. Cloud Room - Hey Now Now
   It's catchy and I like it. *shrug*


5. The Hourly Radio - He Said She Said (Piano Belly remix)
   You likely haven't heard this one before, and this band is really growing on me.

All 5 are available in a SaveFile project.
