Cook an onion in oil, hot, until the edges start going brown. Toss in some chopped shiitake mushrooms, then add a splash of water so the onions cook through. Mind the steam!
Add a splash of soy sauce, a dash of balsamic vinegar, a couple pinches of ground clove, and some black pepper. Serve over pasta.
Today involved a ten mile bike ride to watch the arraginment of someone who was harassing me a month ago; he pleabargained his way out of a sentence, assuming he can keep his nose clean for a year. I’m not upset by this — I figure it’s a pretty fair sentence, considering how light the harassment was. It was a neat process to watch, though, and I’m glad to know more intimately how the courts work, from incident to sentencing.
On the way home, I blew out a tire. Such fun. At least hitching with a bike in a county with more trucks than cars is really easy,
After about 25 hours of toil, my house now roughly resembles the state it was in when crystalhellion moved in.
I’m beat. And it’s only 10.
Dear Political Organizers, (Moveon, I’m talking to you)
The change from sucess-story-plea-for-funds is definitely a nice change. Be new and different! Encourage people in ways never used before.
P.S. The attempted guilt trip was pretty sassy. Go you!
Dysk says “btw, surround panning is a pain in the ass. Most of the audio software assumes you’ve only got two output channels.”
Aria says “Oh, ew.”
Aria makes a note to self to fix that if she ever writes video|audio software.
Dysk says “One or two programs specifically offer surround fun, but they’re still cludges on stereo. For example, you can’t specify that the speakers aren’t in the optimal places.”
Aria says “Meh.”
Dysk says “And there is my rant for the day…”

Today, we got the earliest snowfall I’ve ever seen that was more than a few flakes. We got three inches, and Ouray got eight. Took out trees, which took out power for a good number of hours. It’s been loads of fun. Pretty, though!
“I think I need to go.”
“I know.”
“I’m … I’m going to miss you.”
“I know. I am too.”
“I feel like I’m going to be missing you forever.”
“I know. Me too. I think in some ways, I always will.”
“Yeah.”
“So when are you leaving?”
“Right about now.”
I’m alone right now.
And it’s the right place to be.
Home suddenly feels at once like home again and totally foreign. Strange.
I think there should be a simple rule for “related” links: make them actually link to related things. I just looked up some lyrics on a site, and this is what it said at the bottom:
Visitors interested in The Dresden Dolls Lyrics may also interested in:

Now, if it’s automated, I can understand getting a few wrong, but there’s something really wrong about suggesting a bunch of pop divas known for hollow lyrics, a rap star, and an altrock band, when the source page is lyrics for an obscure, angry, instrument-and-voice duo who’ve opened for bands such as NiN.
Let’s see, folks, “popular on this site” is not the same as “related to this page”. It baffles me that people can be that dense when designing a site.
I figured out why that story I was writing was going nowhere. I wasn’t writing transformations, I was writing descriptions. Silly me.
Good things about today:
