Skor cake

From Erin at Mean Mommies:

Bake a chocolate cake from mix according to directions. When cakes are cool, slice in half across. Crush 4 or more skor bars. Mix up a 500 mL container of whipped cream and add cocoa and sugar til it tastes good. Then add 3/4 of the crushed skor bars. Dollop the cream/skor bar mixture in between the layers of cake, and add a layer of the goo to the top of the cake. Then sprinkle with the remaining skor bar crumbles.

Ready for it to be the weekend

I'm tired. Not just sleepy, but a deep bone-weariness that comes only after 2 weeks of 5 hour nights, and long days of shelving, moving and coding books.

My brain is toast. As in "with jam" level. And maybe a couple of poached eggs on the side. Mmmm, sounds good, actually. Eggs poached in maple syrup.

I keep thinking of really, really stupid story cliches:

London apprentice kidnapped off the docks and made cabin boy.

A slashy pastiche of Ghost in the Noonday Sun (I think I'll save that for a Han/Luke. Luke's the sort in 19th century New England who would see ghosts)

Viking raiders show up, loot and pillage. Pillaged man is taken back as a present for the Captain, who likes smjorr-redr argr.
(Old Norse just sounds so very piratical. Arrr!) He's forced to wear a dress (as would be done in that culture) and repeatedly informed he will be sold when they reach Birka.

Space pirates capture a small vessel with the scion of a wealthy family. Plans to ransom him procede, even while he's entertaining the Captain.

The ever popular, Ur-narrative of Spock slash: Pon-farr strikes at a bad time, and McCoy is the only solution.

Also got word about a Sentinel X-over zine. I was wondering how it'd do with Buffy. "This town stinks, chief." ::Sneeze:: "Blood, dust and a lot of decay. How many cemetaries did you say there were again?"

A really, really stupid tale about Jim & Blair fixing a window and finding out why one doesn't use caulk as lube.

Still percolating the 2 generation MPreg, and figuring out where to go with the new story. Turns out it's an addiction narrative, so, am reading some.

I want chocolate.
I want a nap.
40 minutes.

(no subject)

Dazzle and the VCR are all hooked up to my puter.
And I can do vid caps at high quality and very easily. No messy arrows.

Gods the bit at the end of What Lies Beneath is beyond creepy. Norman is drowning his wife. And he leans in to kiss her just before the water covers her mouth. And him carrying her up the stairs echos the Rhett/Scarlett stair-carry earlier in the vid.
Marital rape, murder. Psycho killers (I took some from Silence of the Lambs) and execution in front of his sweetie (Flash Gordon.
Perfect for the Turtle's "Happy together."

I'm worried, it all seems a bit too easy
