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.

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.

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.

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