From the Ikea website, found when looking for something to sleep on in the new place:

Schrödinger's mattress cover

Erwin Schrödinger would be proud.

DIY’d

This is pretty freaking awesome. Reduced the amount of space I take to store all of these Tesco bags (which I use as trash bags) massively, and they’re easier to get to than “in a large plastic bag below the sink” as well.

Not-so-experimental cooking 101: Bavarian bread dumplings in mushroom sauce

by outrider on Apr.07, 2007, under braindump

wherein stale bread is turned into tasty food

Dumplings (6-8pcs)dumpling dough

  • 6 dry breadrolls (a day old is good, works with even older ones just as well)
  • 1/8l (1/4 pint) milk
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 large eggs

Cut the breadrolls into thin slices. Heat up the milk and pour it over the bread slices. Cube the onion and slightly stew it in a pan with about 1tbsp of butter. Add parsley to the pan, mix it with the onions, and dump the mixture onto the bread. Add eggs to this, then leave the whole thing to soak for a few minutes. Then stick your hands in (hope you washed) and mash it into some semblance of dough. The finished product will look pretty nasty (as shown). (continue reading…)

Jesus Tapdancing Christ.

My father is scheduled to go on a business trip for the day. The train he took left at 6:37, the one he’d wanted to take to Nürnberg central station should’ve left at 5:51 and should’ve arrived there at 6:02. At about 6:00, he walked into my room and said that I needed to bring him to Central because the trains from our local station there have been cancelled due to the weather.

The weather can go fuck itself. I like snow, really, but the streets are Frozen Rivers of Terror. The way I turned corners at less than 30km/h would’ve made any wipeout physics designer turn green with envy. Only that it wasn’t as fun as the games. It’s nearly March – fucking March - and yet the weather in the past few days has been worse than for the whole rest of the past winter.

Master say: never leave dojo without sponge and defroster spray (90% acetone).

Proper combination of the two and the inside of the windows cancels all frost-related negative modifiers to the Perception attribute.

My feet are freezing off. I’m going back to bed.

Conspiracies, schmonspiracies

Korean Air uses the IATA designator code KE.

Also, there’s a former Finnish Formula 1 driver by the nickname of “Keke” Rosberg. Apparently, Korean online gamers are deeply involved in the Finnish conspiracy for world domination.

That is all.

Actually, it isn’t. DVD Box Office shipped my long-awaited copy of Tales of Symphonia today. Hooray for Canada o/
