Okay, I recognize I've got a problem with this sort of stuff.  I'm way, way too freaking obsessed with it, I know.  But WHY THE FUCK ISN'T ANYONE ELSE FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE CAN PRODUCE HOLES WITH DIAMETER VARIANCE OF UNDER TWO HUNDRED-THOUSANDTHS OF AN INCH WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERACTION?  This is goddamn beautiful.  People who say 3d printing is going to make everything else obsolete have no idea how much else has changed.

Goddamn, this article just made me feel wonderful.  We are an amazing, amazing species, that does amazing, amazing things.

So I found this bread recipe, and immediately realized that it’s the best recipe ever, just look at the pictures.  I obviously had to give it a try.  Any recipe that makes cats from water, honey, milk, and flour has to be worth a shot, right?  On the second rise now, stay tuned for results.

No cat.  I am very disappointed.  Maybe using regular rather than dehydrated milk caused it to not work?  I'll have to try again.  The bread is goddamn delicious.

5 min in.  It certainly is bad!  Been quite a while since I've seen it, too.  Great suggestion.

Turns out I don’t take that many pictures of myself…. So have 9 never-before seen (*on tumblr) selfies! 

I've got a couple of stupid pictures we took while we were dying it, if you want to see us with random bunches of tinfoil in our hair.  Best I can do *shrug*.

It is difficult to learn ASL when a cat is sitting on your arm.  Who could have guessed?

Jewelry for fidgeters. Love it.

I WANT

god this would help so much 

also great for distraction for anxiety/stress sufferers.

I want, but what if your skin gets caught in the gears?

I know someone with this.

Huh.  Looking at it again, I don't think that would be too hard to make.  I might give that a shot when I'm back at school.  Good intro project for the ST30SSY, I'd guess.
