25 random things about me

I have now been tagged for the "25 random things" meme about ten times, so I suppose I should actually pony up and generate a list.  Many of you should recognize some or all of these, but people who are newer to cat.net in general won't know all of them.  For extra bonuses, I'll link to some entries.

When nerds party

Here's what my friends do on Sunday mornings when they roost at my house.

TV on the radio on the domesticat on the blog

Huh, I think TV On The Radio's "Dear Science" is finally clicking for me.

hey jackboot, fuck your war!
Cause I'm fat and in love and no bombs are fallin’ on me for sure
But I'm scared to death that I’m livin' a life not worth dying for

Anyone else listened to this album? It's quite the mad rush.

In fact, come to think of it, I've got the technology. If you're logged in, hop over to domesticat.net/listen to ... well ... do just that.

Expression of color

I hate the concept of 'bucket lists.'  Life is so fragile and short, and I think I'd rather put thought and energy into experiencing life instead of just checking things off a list that ends with "and now that you're done, hurl yourself off of a cliff."

Thus the 'life list' at http://domesticat.net/todo which a few of you have seen so far. Not things to check off, but experiences I want, accomplishments I'm seeking, skills I'm willing to learn.

The cult of the slanket

Please hand me my cult card; I own a slanket, and now my friends have experienced it for themselves.

It's the simplest thing, really: a blanket with sleeves.  It's been a couch mainstay in cold weather ever since Adam gave it to me last year.  My inability to stay warm in the wintertime is well known, and he thought it would work well for his goofy friend who couldn't stay warm but who still wanted to work on her laptop on the couch.

Karen's bagna cauda recipe

How I managed to forget to document this recipe last year, I do not know, but I did.

This is the bread dip of great evil I break out only once a year: PHE*.  When you read over the ingredients, you'll understand why; our arteries really can't cope with having this dip with any greater frequency.
