A world altering crisis has just occurred and Tedd's first reaction is to take a nap. Tedd is my hero.

Ah, that's the stuff they used to fake wine glasses of blood for the vampires on Forever Knight. Geraint Wyn Davies said he'd get sick to his stomach from drinking it undiluted. One recipe I've heard since then to make it more tolerable, and more properly opaque, is to mix in some chocolate syrup. :-) Ooh, go for it! See if you can get video of their reaction! And finish up by demanding fish fingers and custard.

Got one of my rare orders from a purveyor of British foods in the Houston area today. They tossed in a free pack of Chewits orange flavor. Mrs. Prof made the point that they taste like a Starburst. I agreed, except that they're much softer (perhaps due to one of their ingredients: " Hydrolysed Pea Protein." Odd, but last on the ingredients list. To wash it down, I'm having my usual Crystal Light lemon tea, but with a big twist: I've added Ribena Blackcurrant concentrate to make blackcurrant lemon tea. They don't sell the stuff at regular strength. You have to dilute it by one part blackcurrant concentrate to four parts water. Not easy to mix with lemon juice and tea powder, but it sure tastes good when you do. I also ordered something I'm going to use to prank a super-serious Doctor Who fan. I bought a couple of packs of Jammie Dodgers. Next time I go over to his house, I'm going to pull the prank from the episode when the Doctor used one to make the last two remaining Daleks think he had a destruct button for the Tardis. Should be hilarious.

For once, Loudmouth wins a round of the Game of Thrones over Baker (whatever Game of Thrones is, I've never seen it): It is my understanding that the battle did not end here.

Gave up on the chkdsk. Turns out Windows isn't even recognizing my drive anymore. I bought a replacement cheap 2TB storage-only drive (WD Blue 5400 SATA 6GB - $71 including tax) and plan to transfer the Clonezilla partition to it as soon as my son can make it over here.
