mmm, popcorn for dinner...

Well, work tomorrow. Ohhh boy. I made a batch of cookies today- I'm thinking if I bring some in during the week it might buff up my dingy first impression. I do make some pretty dang good cookies. They may not be fancy, but they're soft where they should be soft and crisp where they should be crisp and there's cinammon and milk chocolate chips in them, not that semi-sweet garbage. And I've never burned a single one. I've burned myself, but not one cookie.

In other news, I think I'm going to get the Middleman/Better Off Ted crossover done before I focus on the Shrek!Plaude. The former won't be nearly as long and involved, and there are still some plot issues that need working out with the latter. Plus, I came up with the best covername for Wendy ever. Although, I'm minorly terrified of trying to write dialogue for.. pretty much everyone. Both shows have excellent writers that come up with some seriously clever, funny stuff. Ah well, maybe I'll get lucky.

In the meantime, I think, until the Rifftrax live event on Thursday, I'm going to have an unofficial MST3K marathon (BTW, if I ever get to ask Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of The Middleman, anything, it'll be if O2STK is a reference to MST3K. It has to be, right?). I'll watch an episode a night, which might also have the bonus effect of cheering me up for work. Last night I watched The Touch of Satan ("Did a plucked turkey in a wig just talk to me?"). Tonight... I'm thinking The Screaming Skull ("You know, the Gospel speaks of losers like you.").

Shrek!Plaude

The what? Shrek... Plaude? Okay, now I'm really intrigued.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Yup, c_quinn talked me into it. Should be good, though not nearly as funny.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I-m looking forward to it!

By the way, your icon cracked me up. I can see Hedwig thinking that.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Good to know. ^^

Hee, thanks! It's a riff from Merlin's Mystical Shop of Wonders. And I'm pretty sure Hedwig probably would've gone for it, if she knew what her ultimate fate would end up being. By rex_dart if you want it.

I prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips in my chocolate chip cookies. But yay at baking them. Cookies are always a good way to ingratiate yourself to people.

And Shrek Plaude? I had not heard of this either. But I'm sure it will be awesome.

Heh, I'm such a sugar-fiend... I'm glad to hear that! This batch didn't come out quite as well as my last one, but they're still pretty good.

It was on my list of "You Should Write" choices. I kind of feel like something somewhat silly and very AU, after the romp through imagined future!canon that was Rescue Me.

Mmm, cookies. I think for some reason cookies fall outside the bounds of things I can actually make properly. I have burned my fair share. Or not left them in long enough and had them end up all...squishy in the middle. But hey, cookies are cookies.

Yeah, I can imagine how tough it might feel to write dialogue for not only the Middlemen folks, but also the Better Off Ted people. Just...all around very distinctive voices, there. I have faith in you, though.

Also: where are you going for the Rifftrax thing? I'm not a huge MST3K fan but it looks like it could be fun.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that (Although, you say "squishy in the middle" like it's a bad thing. ^^). Really, you just have to keep an eye on them.

I'm pretty much just hoping the Spirit of Better Off Ted inhabits me and it just flows out. That's not too unlikely, right?

I'll be at the Mall in Columbia. I'd love it if you could come! I think it's gonna be really, really cool. Though.. I'm not sure how you'd make it there without a car.

Wise of you, padawan. Win them over with sugar and love.

I'll do my best, master.
