( Countin' 1,2,3 )

We start out in identical perfection: bright, reflective, full of sun. The accident of our lives bruises us into dirty individuality. We meet with grief. Our character dulls and tarnishes. We meet with guilt. We know, we know: the price of living is corruption. There isn't as much light as there once was. In the grave we lapse back into undifferentiated sameness.

Aspiring street musician: Yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't be outside with your pussy smelling like that!

I realize that < ll > is pronounced differently in different countries where Spanish is spoken. I'm wondering whether -- within any given dialect -- it is always pronounced the same, no matter where it is in a word, or whether even within a given dialect < ll > might be pronounced differently from word to word (ie if the ll in 'calle' might be pronounced differently than the ll in 'llueve').

I'm traveling to (Buenos Aires) Argentina soon so I'm most curious about that dialect, but any information would be great.

Thanks in advance! Happy holidays!

Possibly the lightest, most delicious cupcake I have ever made, or eaten. It's moist, and soft, and ohsodelicious.

Did I mention that it's also perfect and summer-y? It is perfect, and I assume it could also be done for wintery months, for those of us in America.  And so, without further ado, I give you the fruit tart cupcake!

Dad to seven-year-old: Do you want to see 2012?
Seven-year-old: God, no. Who directed it? Michael Bay?

--Regal Theater, 14th St

Carelessly left behind by a Bacchanalian reveler, this headdress allowed a celebrant to assume the role of Cernunnos, or some other local permutation of the Horned God. The holly leaves--sacred to the Druids--symbolize the promise of life within the living death of winter, and the bells keep away evil spirits. The green of the antlers echoes the evergreen plants in the holy wood, while the red represents the blood of Christian children sacrificed for Saturnalia.

This was another new cookie for my Christmas cookie gift boxes this year, and again, I was so pleased with the way this turned out. The great thing is that one recipe makes about 5 dozen cookies! I'll post the recipe later, but wanted to get this picture up:



And a closeup. . .

To say I had... issues... with the recipe I chose to use (Y's Scandinavian one) would be a huge understatement.

 I've been studying Mandarin Chinese for two and a half years now through the Integrated Chinese series, but I don't feel as if I'm progressing very quickly in the language. I feel as if, after all this time, I should be able to read a newspaper article and be able to get at least the gist of it, but here my skills are stuck in recognizing only the characters every now and then and not actually understanding what's being said.

Does anyone have any tips on how to progress more quickly? Any recommendations for learning materials, perhaps?

Just finished watching season 1 of Sons of Anarchy, I was going to download season 2 over night but I'm really rethinking it now, want more episodes now!. Such a fantastic show. I love Jax, he's sweet, despite being in the biker gang and beating people up. I also have soft spots "Half Sack" aka "Prospect" and "Juice". Though I've had a soft spot for the actor playing Juice since Veronica Mars and Jericho.

I'm bored so Charlie Hunnam mini picspam!!

"And that's the thing, she concludes. Just because things happen slow doesn't mean you'll be ready for them. If they happened fast, you'd be alert for all kinds of suddenness, aware that speed was trump. "Slow" works on an altogether different principle, on the deceptive impression that there's plenty of time to prepare, which conceals the central fact, that no matter how slow things go, you'll always be slower."

"In a way, John Voss is like Jesus - blameless, perhaps, but nevertheless the center of all the trouble... Dead? Is that what she means? She hopes not. No one could want this boy, this child who had dangled from a laundry bag inside a dark closet, not to exist. Merely for him not to exist here, because here has proven to be the wrong place. She feels like Jesus' disciples must've felt. They never wanted him crucified, of course, but what a relief it must have been when the stone was rolled across the entrance to the tomb, sealing everything shut so they could go back to being fishermen, which they knew how to do, rather than fishers of men, which they didn't. No wonder they didn't recognize him later on the road to Emmaus. They didn't want to, any more than Tick wants to welcome this poor boy back into their midst."
