W's Brain
 

Because it's so dead over here I've decided to give you all a game to play while waiting for the election results, which, if Shifty's right, could take months.

Play away

She said she'd take me up on my offer to explain the electoral college tonight. That should be good enough, as long as she's willing to play the role of the losing party.

Yours,

Oh thank god. I've been lying awake thinking of PE students stuck with crap equipment

I'm so glad these celebrities really focus on those who are in the most need.

For Fringey
 

I'm sorry Fringe, I tried. I really tried. There is only 1 news story today. Well that, and the rain.

Did you play the W brain game above? I think you'll like it. I got 2 brains in the empty head.

But, in case you're interested...Rice wants to play vs. 49ers

KIRKLAND — It had been shaping up to be the week of Jerry Rice's return to the Bay, the first time he was to go back to where he spent 19-plus NFL seasons, the first time the Seahawks wide receiver would play a road game for a team outside of Oakland and San Francisco.

Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said Rice wants to play.

"He's revered in the Bay Area and rightfully so," Holmgren said. "I sure hope he can play." [Me too]

Not too bad, though I have the following comments:

(i) the notion that Chanel designed with the working woman in mind is hilarious, though the consciously casual "sportswear" style she pioneered is in fact a great model for modern American work-wear.

(ii) she seems to downplay the scope of permissible "self expression" (otherwise known as actual style) more than I would, but her actual descriptions of how this might be exercised seem about on track, or even more out-there than I might consider (silver mary-janes?).

(iii) pretty much no one should ever, ever, ever pack Capris. Or wear them. That entry should read "wide legged trousers."

(iv) in my "capsule" travel pack, I'd probably go with dark gray as my neutral rather than black, just because gray works with more colors than black does (such as navy or even brown).

BR(oh, and, random observation, but maybe someone can explain to me why the new deodorant I bought smells like tutti-frutti when the scent is called "Glacier Mist" - this is why I hate it when the drug store runs out of unscented stuff)C

JERRY: What? So what? It's a nipple. A little round circular protuberance. What's the big deal? See everybody's got them. See I got them.

KRAMER: I got them too.

JERRY: Everybody's got them.

Someone is spreading rumors that Paris Hilton has a girlfriend. The rumor spreader? Paris Hilton herself.

The partying heiress was at a Halloween party at the Playboy mansion on Saturday when a female fan came up and asked Hilton if she could kiss her.

“Paris pointed to a girl with her and said, ‘This is my girlfriend she gets really mad,’” says our source.
The source says that while Paris was clearly using her “girlfriend” to deflect the overly zealous fan, the two were cozy for much of the evening. “Paris wouldn’t let go of the girl and the girl kept answering for Paris all night when people approached them,” says the insider. “Paris kept her arms around her at the bar in between chain-smoking.”

RT is this you? Either one of them?

Things That Make Me Want to Hurl
 

The current US Weekly has Ben Assfleck and Jennifer Garner on the cover with a question: Are they engaged?

I never thought she could do anything to remove herself from my personal all-time laminated list (dating Michael Vartan wasn't a problem, for example), but getting engaged to Affleck just might do it. That's a crime against humanity.

Ugh.

Sincerely,

I would like to think that I've made it very clear that I think her ass is nonexistent, and therefore she's not worth my time. If I failed, consider the point made now.

In related news, Goodvibes delivered the goods much earlier than expected. I'll probably be catatonic for the next few days, so the tape may be a good distraction.

RT??????
 

So it's all about the ass with you?

I don't know. I'm no expert. But it looks OK. I mean if she's willing to trade hers for mine (unlikely), I'll take it.

Streusel
 

I think she has something under her hips to make her ass look like it exists. Plus, that's an ass-maximizing position.

More importantly, does anyone have a good recipe for streusel to go on top of a fruit pie? I do not like dry, floury streusel. I like streusel that melts into the pie somewhat and maybe carmelizes a bit on top.

Mmmmm, pie.

Streusel
 

Use lots of ground walnuts, butter and brown sugar, not much flour.

I don't use a recipe, just make it up as I go along, but ground walnuts, butter and brown sugar are key, a little bit of flour, the "warm" spices (nutmeg, cloves, etc.), and maybe some rolled oats or some other nuts, depending on the fruit being used.

I recommend making it in a large bowl and having two people each smearing lots of butter together. You never know what could happen.

Streusel
 

I'm glad you know about ass-maximizing positions. I bow to your expertise. I cannot help you with the streusel as my ass has been previously maximized.

I did find this scary scary picture for you though. Paris with our favorite rock star.

Streusel
 

I don't like walnuts and unless you are coming over to make the damn stuff for me, this is utterly unhelpful. I need AT LEAST a sense of the proportions.

I may be pissy because you have highlighted that I'm not getting any tonight. Bastard.

ETA Control freaks should not bake together. I am not referring to G3, but to the person with whom I will be baking (but not "baking")

Streusel
 

Just use the butter.

Lots of butter.
