Experimental Chocolate Pancakes:
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 cups all-purpose flour, poorly measured
* 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* 1 1/2 cups milk (some chocolate)
* 2 tablespoons melted butter
* ? additional chocolate milk
* 2 tablespoons (approx) chocolate syrup
PREPARATION:
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Except you don't have a sifter, so by sift I mean mix with a fork. In a separate bowl, combine egg and milk (note that you only have 1 cup of white milk, so add the rest in chocolate); add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. Cook on a hot, greased griddle. Realize that they're too thick and biscuit-like for you, so add more chocolate milk. Stir until blended. Ugh. It's still too thick. Add more chocolate milk. Oh. That's perfect. Hey, you know what'd be interesting to try? Squirt some chocolate syrup into the middle of the bowl of batter. Stir gently about seven or eight times...just enough to swirl it around. Now cook. The chocolate ones won't bubble on the other side as a sign that it's ready, so you'll just have to use your pancake instincts.

1. I have not had access to a computer with headphones for the last week, but as soon as I do I will comment on the Ships and Dips music. Muxtape seems pretty swell.
2. Yum. Making them with the chocolate milk is hella clever.
3. Since when do you have a griddle?
4, It's snowing right now. We've been having wintry mix for the past 4 or 5 days. It's sad: all I want is snow in the winter, and warm weather in the spring. Why is that so much to ask for?
5. How was your spring break?

Have you gotten your issue of Paste yet this month? If you have, check the very last page before the back cover.

It's $1.49 per cut. We can cut stacks of up to 500 sheets of paper at a time, and up to 250 sheets of cardstock at a time. If we cut two squares per sheet from a stack of 500 or less (I don't think you can get anymore out of a sheet if they're 3.5 squares), then that'll be 6 cuts, so it'll be about $9. We can usually do it while you wait; don't let them tell you we can't.
What are you needing them for?

1. You know, it suddenly occured to me that Business Cards are 3.5" wide, and over half of 3.5" tall, and you can get ten of those on a page. Apparently I am very bad at visualizing dimensions.
I didn't realize you were printing them first. Do they have color going all the way to the edge? If they do, you're gonna wanna make sure you've got a bleed margin of at least 1/8".
2. I really, really wish that were real. Even if it's shitty (and it looks pretty shitty), it'd still be awesome to relive the glory. Plus which, there'd be several parts where that poor actor would have to carry around some poor actress playing Zora the fish princess on his shoulders for a good long while. Between all the rehersals and takes for that scene, he'd be such a sore mofo by the end of it.
That scene where he's ducking in the desert to avoid the spinny blade thing? There is not even a word for that level of nostalgia.
I wish we still had our N64. If we did, holy crap, I'd make you tag-team a game with me. I bet you're a lot better at sharing than Alaine was.

Even if it's not in color, do you have ink going all the way to the edge? You need a bleed margin if there is. I wouldn't add an outline, the cutter shifts too much. I would, if you're able, add crop marks. What program are you designing this in? It's best to bring a PDF, when you're ready.
It's 20 cents per page to print B&W on cardstock if you pick one of the lower end stocks, and 31 cents per page to do one of the higher end ones. It's 7.5 cents per page if you bring your own stock.

Dude. You deleted a post? That's the most Frazilicious thing you've ever done. Bring it back, though? Please? I wanted to play that stupid game as soon as I got to a computer that would play it, and now I don't know where to find it.
Hope your final term's rocking hard.
