Maybe there just aren't words yet for what this is. Maybe the cake-maker has transcended the capacity of the English language.
About an hour ago, the credits rolled on Moon. I went into the film knowing very little: the only trailer I'd seen featured Sam Rockwell looking disheveled, and had Kevin Spacey as a HAL-style AI that communicated via a combination of even, soothing tones, and smiley faces.
I won't post any spoilers here, but suffice [...]
EXTRY! EXTRY! Local writer sells story to King film-maker! Read all about it!
On Thursday we went to the Corb Lund concert at the Westman, and it was fantastic. The opening acts were quirky and alt-country, so they meshed well with Lund and his band. The headliners played a lot of my favourites, which made me happy. All in all, there was near enough not [...]
Tonight, flipping through my channels, I came across this listing:
Cast your mind to The Road Warrior. Who comes immediately to mind?
I know, I know. It's these two guys, right?
It must be, because they're the ones listed first. Last billing goes to this unknown actor, Melvin Something-or-other…

Each one is performed right-handed and left-handed.

My first stop-motion video:
Mmmm, trifle…
Update!
Because Doug demanded it, here's the recipe.
You'll want to do this in a trifle bowl, a tall, wide, cylindrical bowl, usually on a stand. I found mine at Wal-Mart for about $8.
Bottom layer: Take an angel food cake and tear it into bits. Put it into the trifle [...]
For my birthday, my darling wife bought me Lego Star Wars (the original series one) for our PC. She also bought a second joystick so we can play the game together.
I tried it out last night. I sat down to play for 20 minutes while I waited for a TV show to start.
