VM reaction

so i was bored yesturday and Veronica Mars was on and it was sort of like Arrested Development wherein i thought, "why not?"

hmmm, thoughts..... i felt like i was watching a young Nancy Drew (i used to read those books as a kid, like all of them but she was already out of HS in the series) down to the point when i knew halfway through who was the bad guy (thats the main reason i stopped reading the books, because you can start to tell by the 3rd chapter whodunit). i was grateful Veronica didnt do the credit card to unlock doors trick *lol* though she did do a lot of illegal stuff which was a bit heffish imo.

*jitters* i dunno, not terrible but i dont really see whats so great about it either. at least with the Law & Orders and CSI i generally dont have the case entirely figured out which was a real draw for me. and they're HS students which i've always had a problem following (with the exception of Joan of Arcadia because the main chara and her friends reminded me of my friends--the rag tag group of pseudo outcasts). and her father is from Just Shoot Me! *cracks up* the theme song is great though..i think i'll try another couple of eps before i make a final opinion.

(no subject)

people have the right to cough, yes, but not repeatedly for 10 minutes straight when there are perfectly good, work great everytime, dont even taste all that bad, cough drops in the cubbard!! *growls* its annoying, its rude, theres no reason for it and not doing something about it. oh and now you're gulping water so loudly i can hear you from the other room. jeezus, what is wrong with people? i dont understand them. *rubs tiredly at eyes*

cookie news

so i was craving cookies. i blame it on reducing myself to watching Robin Hood: Prince oT. i've baked everything in the Joy of Cooking that a)isnt uberly complicated and b)i currently have all the ingrediants for. so i flip through a big 3-ring binder of clippings my mum collected over the years (starting in the 70s if i'm any judge of clothing) and sound 1 cookie recipe. 1! and it was for sugar cookies! *head desk* so i decide, why not make up a recipe?

yumness. *cooes over cookies* i brought some over for m'da to try (because he's home flooping about the house today) and he ate 3! (which is good considering the batch only made 17.5 rather large cookies) *bounce* he's a pretty tough critic too so i'm v. happy. i think i might see if i can come with any other recipes. who knows, maybe i should give up fiction and try for cooking. i wonder how the cookbook market is faring.
