It is the one year anniversary of those four days I had extensions/a weave.

May my bald spots serve ever as a faithful reminder of that most glorious of long weekends.

I loved you then, love you now.

And for the record, I didn’t think it was that bad of a weave.

Double record, I don’t have a lot of experience with weaves. But it was probably the best one I’ve ever seen.

On your head.

Hosni Mubarak sentenced to life in prison

Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to life in prison after a court convicted him on charges of complicity in the killing of protesters during last year’s uprising that forced him from power.

In sentencing, Judge Ahmed Rifaat Rifaat described Mubarak’s era as “30 years of darkness” and “a darkened nightmare” that ended only when Egyptians rose up to demand change. “They peacefully demanded democracy from rulers who held tight grip on power,” he said.

Egyptian TV reported that Mubarak would be transferred from the hospital suite where he has been detained to Torah prison in south Cairo but he may have the right to appeal. [pictures

joolsandnigel asked: How much do you think we'll weep this Sunday when we watch the GoT finale?

Enough so that when I was describing the show yesterday to my mom, I spoke not about the plot or characters, but how we dove into chocolate, and found an outlet for our pain in popcorn. Expect a face monsoon.

I think I love this so much because I’ve never actually listened to Drake, so in my head, I just see Jimmy Brooks rolling around the halls of Degrassi, dropping life lessons on Spinner like, “the first million is the hardest”, while Craig is off burning all his bridges everywhere, because he’s got moxie.

Do you remember when we met
in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless,
and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing
you, when we were young, and blushed with youth
like bruised fruit. Did we care then
what our neighbors did
in the dark? When our first daughter was...

rich chocolate peanut butter cream
this makes a great dessert or breakfast that you can serve all at once or keep it throughout the week. consider it a mix between a mousse and a pudding - thick, creamy, and very chocolatey. serve with fresh fruit and/or nuts at the end of a big meal with friends - perfect!
blend together until smooth and creamy: 1 package firm silken tofu, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate chips, 2 tbsp dutch-processed cocoa powder, 2-3 tbsp sweetened peanut butter, a dash vanilla extract, a small pinch sea salt, and a scant dash of cayenne.(make sure to read labels for milk ingredients when buying cocoa/chocolate chips, as always.)
chill in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
serve very cold to four to eight people, or store in your fridge for 1-2 weeks.
