I made vegan rice crispy treats tonight. I used the recipe here<\/a>, but I only used 3 1\/2 cups of crisp rice cereal because I wanted mine extra gooey! I had bought some Dandies back at Vegan Mania in late 2011, but I hadn’t used them yet, so this was the perfect way to do so. These are definitely best when warm. Due the vegan-ness nature, they harden up pretty quickly. I am a weirdo who doesn’t eat gelatin, but does eat poultry. I miss marshmallows sometimes and Chicago Soydairy’s Dandies are absolutely spot on.<\/p>\n

Apparently I had not been getting some important mail from the Illinois Department of Revenue forwarded to my “new” (April 2011) address and this led them to put a levy against me and they nearly garnished my wages at my day job (for $67). Just bonkers. To fight this thing, I am further organizing my craft room, especially all of my sales tax documents. One day, when it’s all done, I will post photos of the finished product. Actually, this makes me want to google and see how other crafters maintain their files. As a result of all this clean-up, I fell slightly behind on my working out. I still ate pretty healthy to balance that out. Luckily, cleaning burns calories and I’ve been doing a heck of a lot of that. Phew!<\/p>\n

On Friday night Z and I had Eliza and Mike over and played a game that Z had gotten me for Christmas called Creatures<\/a>. The game was super fun and I hope they make an expansion pack that has a hedgehog in it! All of the awesomeness that Kickstarter.com<\/a> has brought into the world is astounding. Friends of my friend nickd<\/a> funded their game Cards Against Humanity<\/a>. This game has become a staple of nick and erin’s parties. It is a thrilling thing to see just how many sick minds are in one room, in one group of friends.<\/p>\n

Films watched 6th week of the year:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Family Plot
\nEden Lake
\nTim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie
\nConan O’Brien Can’t Stop*
\nOne Day<\/p>\n

*documentary<\/p>\n

Eden Lake<\/a> surpassed any expectation that I had of it. I enjoy an occasional horror film, but I wasn’t planning to watch this with Z. In the first 5 minutes, I was hooked. This put the THRILL in Thriller. Michael Fassbender and Kelly Reilly’s performances were some of the best I have ever seen. It felt so believable. It made me scour both of their IMDB profiles and I found this quote from Michael Fassbender which made me love him even more:<\/p>\n

[on being nude in films and full frontal nudity in Shame<\/i>] To be honest with you again, I think it’s the idea of male frontal nudity. It just baffles me: Women can parade around naked all the time, but the guy conveniently has his pants on. I remember my mom always complaining about that to me, saying, “This is such bullshit, it’s always the women who are naked” … so I did this one for you, Mom!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
