One last doodle for the evening. Counting this one as my daily sketch (picking /that/ little experiment up again) as I went more painterly on this. More doodles tomorrow when half my day isn't spent doing last minute shopping!

Hershey's Double Chocolate Cheesecake

I usually post this link but I forget it up until Christmas Eve so I thought I'd post it early. It for all the kids -big and little- so they can track Santa on his journey Christmas Eve.

Norad Santa Tracker.

Because if the US Military believes in Santa, he must be real!

Snow Report and Baklava

I'm still here! YAY! And it is a yaying situation because about 4,500 people in town are without power and there are still people stuck out on the interstate. So the fact that I have heat and internet and cable? YAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAY!! YAY! It's slowed down snowing but I'd guess we have about two feet of the stuff on the ground. It's hard to tell with all the drifting. We're supposed to get another six inches before it finally stops tomorrow morning.

But yeah, about two feet of snow. I got our ramp shoveled off of about fourteen inches last night and had to do it all over again this morning. Joy. I'm not even trying the driveway. It's about as long as a football field and has extra room for cars to turn around here at the top. I'd have a heart attack before I even made my way to the mailbox.

So yeah, both VA and WV are in a state of emergency and everything is canceled. I mean everything. Banks, churches, mail, everything. Still, it could be worse, so I'm thankful I have a big pot of veggie soup made for dinner and biscuts and the power to use the oven and keep my computer going. Hope everyone else in the area is staying safe and warm!

And now! Onto the recipe!



Baklava )

I think I watched AB make this three times this week. I lost count due to all the drooling.

Snow Report

It started snowing around three this afternoon, about five hours ago. All roads in Greenbrier County are closed, as are all roads in Tazewell County. Here in my little corner of WV, five school buses of kids didn't make it home and they took them to Beaver Vol. Fire Dept to wait out the snow.

So far we have power, thank gods, but damn do I feel for the parents and kids having to wait out the storm. There are still kids on the roads down in Mercer County trying to get home too. Damn. It's been quite a while since we've had a snow this bad. I went out to my porch and measured the snow, eight inches of it so far and it's supposed to keep snowing all day tomorrow.

I hope all those kids make it home safely. Keep warm folks.

ETA:

Update folks. It's 11:30 and people are trapped in their cars on I-77 between Beckley and Ghent. Road crews are focusing on that area, digging people out and getting them home. Rt. 19 between Beckley and Oak Hill is pretty much snow covered and that's a main highway for our area. I'm hearing tales of tractor trailers jack knifing in a couple of places which is making the interstate roads even more hazardous. The two main roads through Beckley are pretty much snow covered too, so I'm really not holding my breath on seeing the snow plow until Sunday.

As for me, I keep on trying to shovel off my porch. I get a little bit done, go sit for a minute and go back and find another inch or two of snow has fallen. Yeah, this snow is really nasty.

If anyone needs road info, I've got numbers to call for Virgina and West Virgina.

WV- 1 877 WVA Road
VA- 1 800 367 Road

Good luck if you're going out! Me? I'm hibernating until Monday. And I can skip going out Monday if I really have to.

Dogs

You all remember the guy who got stuck in the mud, that turned out to have bought three acres and a tiny, run down shack that he's calling a hunting lodge [for God's sake!]. I know you do.

Well, he brought down two dogs. OMG! Pitbull mixes. One with some sort of terrier and the other Chow!! Fuck me sideways. Who in their right mind wants a psycho mixed with a hyperactive? Anything.

So, here he is, in a county with an ordinance against this kind of dog with two of them. Ack! Chow's are notoriously unreliable so he's got one hyperactive psycho and another that's huge, unreliable and insane.

What does he do? He turns them off leash, in cattle country. God, what a mess. They chased the horses at one place and the cattle at another. They killed a goat and a calf.

The sheriff has been a personal friend for years so he came to us and asked if we'd see what we could do. So I spent most of the day on my ATV, waiting for dogs. Ya, dogs. Mr. Mud [I still don't know his real name] Shows up and tells me I can't shoot his dogs. so, I told him that I could, I would and him too if he got in the way. Then I explained to him that his dogs were considered a menace to livestock and life. And that he wasn't allowed to let them run at large. Only hunting dogs are allowed at large in this county.

So, they came home but didn't stay long. They ran around the house, chased him inside and took off. I finally ran them to ground, along with the other neighbor who's horses they terriorized.

So it wasn't a very good day. I'm cold, pissed, and tired. So...how was your day. *grumbles*

Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark

First snowstorm of the year starting tonight. YAY. Not. I like snow at Christmas as much as anyone but over a foot all at once? So not funny, Mother Nature. Not funny at all.

[VID] White Collar - Neal/Peter/Elizabeth - Peroxide Swing

This is not drawing. This is also not laundry. Today was decompression time though, so laundry has been pushed to tomorrow. In the process of compiling this I realised the creative niche that vidding fills for me, which is being able to sort all my squeeful thoughts and say here are all the things I love about ____. With music attached. I always feel slightly weird about vidding since I don't approach it with any intention to learn the finer details of editing or crafting a strong visual narrative, but coming to understand why I vid makes me feel more comfortable sharing what I've made.

I also feel like all the classic and contemporary big band/crooners I've been listening to while working in the lab this semester was just preparing me to fall in love with this show. Also, OT3 much? Purr.

the sweet taste of freedom

Guess who is done with finals, omfg.

Tomorrow I am going to celebrate by doing laundry. Which doesn't seem exciting, but I am down to the Clothes I Never Wear. Which is also a good indication of what needs to go in the donate pile.

ALSO I AM GOING TO DRAW. My god, am I going to draw. Later when I am a little less DONESQUEE, I will post some shots of my projects. I am pretty damn happy with them.
