Re: The Bakery

Well, it's been awhile, but I'm back. Time to get this kitchen howling again. I took my baking passion and skills and turned it into a bonafide business. I'm running a small-scale artisan bread operation. I rent the (awesome) kitchen at my local food bank and sell at farmers' markets. I specialize i...

Re: Once more... Where are the curly werewolves?

Yeah, I got curly hair, too. It's below-the-shoulder/standard heavy metal mane, used to be dark auburn but is relentlessly turning silver-grey. Hey, wolf-coloured! :D And at the slightest hint of humidity, which is pretty much always here in Oregon, it turns into something Carrot Top would be jealou...

Re: "Werewolf: The Apocalypse Klaive"

Since in-game, each klaive was individually hand-crafted, you'd probably be better off finding a swordsmith at your local Ren Faire and commissioning them to make a klaive for you. Silver's pretty cheap these days but if you want to keep it within budget you can get it made in stainless with a silve...

Re: The current generation of werewolf fans.

one forum I go to that pokes the laughable minority of furries werefans, therians, otherkin, etc. are pretty much just putting up a mild sardonic stance on these teens. And inasmuch as that, they're being more childish than the kids acting like wolves. Come on, people, I'm pushing the half-century ...

Re: The current generation of werewolf fans.

I saw that clip. Actually, I don't disapprove at all. Like that kid's mother says, "If this is the worst he does in high school, I'm blessed!" Take a look at the other cliques in high school — Jocks, for instance — 'nuff said. So long as they don't get into trouble — which it appears they ...

Re: James Cameron's Avatar

My friends and I got the DVD a few nights ago (because we live in Oregon and we're too dirt-poor to afford Blu-Ray ;) ). We went straight over to their place (because I'm too dirt-poor to afford a television, period) and watched the movie. The store we bought it at had a deal where you can get a big...

Re: Venting

The fact is, he wasn't just homeless, he was saddled with a severe mental illness. If he was just homeless and bothering us I'd have told him to buzz off and called the cops if he got nasty. I wouldn't have shrunk back and pretended he wasn't there. But when mental illness is brought in as a factor ...

We have a group in our city that exists to aid the homeless, it's called "Cahoots." Yes, they will come and take him off the streets, and get him into a secure place where he won't be tire-ironed and set on fire by a gang of skinheads. Have you heard of "power of attorney?" Famil...

Have to get this off my chest. I was working Market yesterday (Tuesday), in the park blocks downtown. Farmers' market season ended last week, but the artists from Saturday Market are keeping Tuesday Market going through the winter. Yeah, we get snow here, but not terribly much, maybe 3-4 inches that...

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, a Pack member who'd sacrifice wolves for the sake of an over-romanticized ideal.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are

I've seen it criticized as being a little too emo. And I agree, it did get a titch mawkish and slightly halty towards the middle. But my answer to that is, why do "childrens' movies" have to be all cutesy-goofy-light? You want that, pull out a video of the Purple Slug or My Little Pony. Th...

Re: Venting

God, I can't believe I DID that!! Okay. Last night I did a bake for my Farmers' Market booth. I hit on what I thought was a bright idea to put each focaccia dough in its own roaster pan to rise, bake and get oiled in. Contain mess, eliminate a step, and cut my kitchen rent time. So I did that and fo...
