I deal with the real, so if it's artificial let it be

1. Two hours cleaning = I iz tired nao. No mas, por favor. Still need to do laundry though, ugh.

2. New icon, check it. I bet you feel gayer already. (Feel free to swipe as long as you give me credit.)

3. Speaking of R&I, I rewatched this week's ep last night and couldn't resist jotting down some of my favorite lines & moments this time: ( cut for spoilers )

4. I told y'all this tag of picspams would never end. ( Three new categories, ahoy )

5. Current finished its "50 Documentaries To See Before You Die" series last week, and the complete list can now be viewed here. I watched "Trouble the Water" and "An Inconvenient Truth" yesterday, both of which are on the list. Most everyone's seen An Inconvenient Truth, so I'll skip talking about it in detail, but I will say that I enjoyed it. As for Trouble the Water, it was really, really good. Great timing for seeing it, too, what with the six year anniversary of Katrina this week.

For my VotD this time, let's go with a Bones pick. This one's by BONESgeek & contains spoilers through season 6:

Life hard

Wow. Um, okay, clearly I was not meant to ever step foot in a kitchen.

Did you guys know that a clove of garlic looks like this and not this?

I bet you did.

Guess who didn't? Thaaat would be me. *waves*

See, this is what happens when, A. simple tasks are your arch nemesis, B. no one ever really taught you how to cook, and C. your name is Rachael.

Now, imagine a recipe that calls for THREE cloves of garlic. Imagine meticulously peeling all three bulbs (whilst patting yourself on the back for managing such an amazing feat, obvs) & trying to mince them all together with basil in a blender, thinking to yourself, "Y'know, that looks like an awful lot of garlic." Imagine checking a YouTube vid to see if you're doing it right & then realizing your mistake. Imagine trying to remove said excess garlic--after it's already mashed up to bits--and STILL ending up with the most superfied garlic-tastic pesto sauce ever made. Like, try a taste & jump back three feet, eyes-watering, garlic-tastic. Also, assume you put 2/3 cup of olive oil in vs. 1/2. Because that's just how you roll. You were too busy spilling shit all over the floor to double-check your numbers.

…Seriously. It's not easy being me.

And now I'm supposed to do laundry? Go to the store? I OBJECT.
