@russreeves:

Phew… almost midnight. Made it safely through another Ides of March.

Oh, the Ides of March. The one day of the year when your best friend has society’s permission to stab you to death.

Some poor woman (@nancwithants) on Twitter has confused me (@claysmith) for her friend (@smithclay). She has already commented twice with my name about the antics of my globe-hopping doppelganger. I’m starting to wish I was this other Clay Smith, because he’s in Paris taking a knife class. That sounds like more fun than what I’m doing…

Five-Minute Chocolate Cake

This recipe for a five-minute chocolate “cup” cake that you cook in a microwave works, and it works well. I mean, if I can make it, then it must be idiot-proof.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa.
  2. Spoon in one egg.
  3. Pour in milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips.
  5. Put in microwave for 3 minutes.
  6. Let it sit before flipping over the mug to release your cake.

This would serve at least two people. I cut it into fourths, and topped it with ice cream.

Recipe adapted from Dizzy Dee and other sources.

I’m thinking about driving down to WSC tomorrow to use their library. Anybody want to come with?

I just recalled that I said “hella” yesterday in conversation. That is my life’s greatest regret.

Since it’s available for instant viewing on Netflix, I thought I’d watch a bit of “Year One” so that I could say I turned it off half-way through. It ceased being funny before the opening credits were over.

Part of me wants to stop losing weight as I have only just discovered that right now I’m exerting against the Earth a force of about 1 kilonewton. That’s a nice round number.
