Is it just me?...

...or have the Starburst and skittles commercials become weirder and weirder??? You be the judge. Either way, they're hysterical!


This is a vintage skittles commercial:

I am so stoked!

I loved Shaun of the Dead, and now I'm completely stoked for the newest movie by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I found this review from Canmag::



The eagerly anticipated second feature from the co-creators of 2004's award-winning sleeper hit Shaun of the Dead is a contemporary action comedy. Police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is London's top cop. This tough law enforcer is good at his job - so good, in fact, that he makes his colleagues look bad. As a result, his superiors "promote" him to the village of Sandford, where all is garden parties and neighborhood watch meetings. Partnered with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), an oafish but well-meaning young local cop, Angel struggles to adapt. But he just can't...until a series of grisly "accidents" indicates that foul play is afoot. Suddenly, this seemingly idyllic town is a case that Angel has to crack - hard.

tie dye cookies!

I attempted to make something today, that sounds awesome in premise, and, with practice, will probably be really cool: Tye-Dye Cookies. Here is my first attempt at them. I'm include the modified directions below :D

1.make a basic sugar cookie, but don't bake it.
2.obtain a paintbrush. and have a cup of water near by.
3.paint the cutouts of your cookie with water.
4.then dip your paintbrush into the water, then into the food coloring, and back into the water.
5.paint the cookie cutout with paintbrush, repeat pattern with all colors.
6.before putting into the oven, brush over lines between colors with water to get them to bleed a little bit.
7.bake as normal.

(you might have to cut your coloring with some water, because it'll be pretty bright. thats why mine looks a little intense.)
