Oh, Ladies: Haiku Reviews of Julie & Julia

Oh, Amy Adams.
Your adorableness was
just not quite enough.

Oh, Nora Ephron.
I don't think blogging makes for
exciting movies.

Oh, Julia Child.
You're nice and all, but your voice
makes me want to die.

Oh god their names all have four syllables! Also. I'm not sure if this says anything, but as soon as I got home I baked some brownies.

Out of a box.

UPDATE: As Shara so thoughtfully informed me without any sort of gloating, "Julia Child" has five syllables. Thank you Shara.

UPDATED UPDATE: As I so thoughtfully inform Shara without any sort of gloating, "Child" is one syllable, after all. Thank you Matt.

Because this meme didn't die like two weeks ago or anything

You are not allowed to be on the internet if you haven't made one of these, did you know?


Aaand the original:


UPDATE: How the fuck can you make this one and not come up with the one I made?

Ice cream can go bad

Lord knows I love ice cream, but...

Just, no.

I realize you are entrepreneurs, maybe even visionaries, who are actively seeking to create something genuinely different, and you are obviously very passionate about your work. I get that. Good for you. Still, no.

Their manifesto:

In an age of pandemics, epidemics, foreign wars, global meltdowns and MP’s expenses, what’s left to believe in? The Icecreamists offer hope and consolation in the face of darkening economic skies and a dystopian society. An undimmed faith in the restorative power of pure, fresh boutique ice cream to soothe your soul and heal your anxieties. The Icecreamists is communal, spiritual and political, with a power to reach out and bring people together regardless of race, colour and creed.

No, you offer ice cream. Probably very good ice cream! Still frozen sugar milk, not hope and consolation. (also: likely to cost many times more than what you'd like to spend with "darkening economic skies") Whatever, marketing bullshit, etc. I can ignore that.

I cannot ignore this.

That is what you want your ice cream restaurant to look like. That is your choice.

I think I will stick to my stuff, thanks.

Haiku Review: District 9

I remember I used to do these once in a while.

The only movie
I have seen where someone is
killed by a thrown pig.

Sure, it left questions
unanswered on purpose, but
damn, I have questions.

Dear negligent mom:
WHY DID YOU BRING YOUR TODDLER
TO THIS R MOVIE?

Carrot Cake Ice Cream

The color is indeed carrot. Taste-wise, it's more carrot-y than the bacon was bacon-y. There are also small inclusions of cream cheese distributed thoughout the ice cream custard matrix, which are uniformly delicious. (You love material science terms.) Considering it contains whole milk, heavy cream, butter egg yolks, and cream cheese, it's not one of my healthiest recipes. I like it, but I don't think it's going to enter my regular rotation.

Cake Decorating Final

It's not perfect, but considering it's the first time I really brought everything together, I approve. Practice makes perfect, boys and girls.
