More sparkly things.

Oh man, does anybody have the source for this?

My absentee ballot arrived yesterday! (*throws confetti*)

The first issue of SuperGrrrl Adventure Comix arrived today! And it is very sparkly and awesome, and I am shamelessly curling up with it right now instead of a) writing my grad school application essays, which I really should be doing or b) catching up on KHMK, which is usually my procrastionation of choice. And y'all should order your own copy because seriously, you guys, it is really awesome.

Obligatory sparkly link: The US economic crisis concisely explained in 136 words.

Okay, maybe not so sparkly.

In other news, I learned how to make cakes and breads in my rice cooker yesterday. I cannot WAIT to try out Erika's chocolate-walnut cake recipe tomorrow. It's been so long since I was able to bake anything... (*sigh*) I do miss living in a country where ovens come standard in every household. In Japan, having your own oven is an exceptional luxury.
