Can you not


I apologize for my prolonged absence from the blogging realm. Time just got away from me this weekend what with stuffing my face, and then running to gym to exercise it all off. 

To the tarot card requester: Temperance and the Heirophant are gone as well. The only cards left from the major arcana are the Emperor, Justice, and Judgment. There's still quite a few of the minor arcana left, but not many of the face cards--only the Page and Knight of Cups, Page and King of Pentacles, and the Page and Knight of Wands. There's still a bunch of the numbered cards left, so if anyone else wants some tarot cards, let me know: bellatrixburrows@hotmail.com.

This is Rockland Bakery:


Guess what's across the street?


Rockland Bakery is in fact the greatest thing since sliced bread. You can go in there at midnight and actually go into the factory and grab loaves of bread, bagels, croissants, and everything else fresh out of the oven. I went there yesterday with Big Sis #2 and we got 2 doughnuts, a giant cinnamon-pecan danish, a cupcake, and cannoli for $3.00. It's crazy how cheap it is. 

So yeah, every time I walk out of the gym, I am assaulted by the fresh-baking smells of their lovely sourdough bread, and cinnamon raisin bagels. It is not fair. Whoever zoned those two buildings should be castrated in public. 

No luck catching the thing in the attic. I did try to make a vlog about going up into the attic to look for it, but unfortunately no one would leave the house long enough to give me some peace and quiet, so I couldn't do it. I did investigate. I suspect the starlings are back, although how they manage to make such a tremendous racket at all hours of the night is beyond me.  Starlings are supposed to be quite small, and diurnal. The thing in the attic sounds large, and is mostly nocturnal. But I'm pretty sure it's the starlings. Therefore, this is definitive proof that starlings are (a.) Evil; and (b.) possessed of more ridiculous diabolical powers than I had originally thought. 


For real, they're f**king evil.

Time to start planning Operation Starling Holocaust Part Deux. 

Failed this weekend, food wise (obvs, at this point). So as per usual, I'm a puffy fat mess this Monday. I've got a writing workshop tonight, so I shan't make it to the gym. I plan on trying to salt flush on Tuesday. I tried last night, but for Reasons Unknown, it didn't work. 

I don't get that. Like where did the salt water go? Did it evaporate? Get absorbed into my kidneys? WTF??

>:(
More later, perhaps; or I shall be late for the writing workshop.
<3 you, my girlies!

  4. I think the two are in the perfect location with each other! You can go to the bakery first to have a treat, then walk right next door to work it off! I would love to see vlog of you catching and killing whatever is lurking in your attic! ♥

  6. Restaurants and bakeries have no business being near gyms! My gym? Yeah it's in a strip mall that contains a McDs. Ewww.

    Good luck catching the things in your attic!!

  9. Starlings are the spawn of Satan.

    They must be infiltrating Blogger. That was the second comment I've lost today!

  11. So typical to put a bakery across from the gym. Keep Americans fat and the medical profession thriving! I hope they do find that guy. Hope he likes his future without balls!

    That video was scary, but strangely beautiful. Starlings or not, you have to admire the flock mentality. How all those birds move as a single entity. Breathtaking!

    Hope you enjoy the workshop. <3. XXX.

  12. Yay! The Mich is back! :) i was going to comment that i needed a Mich fix and here you are!

    Yeah, the juxtaposition of the gym and bakery...n i c e planning someone...kudos to whomever! GAH!!!!!!

  13. I suspect whoever did that spot of building planning did it for those precise reasons: to create a perpetual gym-bakery cyclical portal loop. They probably get paid by both the gym and bakery. They're probably ridiculously rich.

    Though it does amuse me that the photo of the bakery is so summery and inviting, while the gym is in what looks like a blizzard...

    ps. massive grin at you. Tarots have landed safely (and thank you so much for the lil' added extra :) ). It's a little creepy - in a good way - though. I was going to request hanged man, and the hermit? Well, I sort of have a love of it, after reading that book. It's pretty fascinting how all the readings combine....I need to track down my friend Alice, and get her to read my tarot. I think it was about two or three years ago when she last read it??

    Anyhoo; I lost my ability (or confidence and self belief) to draw things of the human form, so I've been playing with that. I think it has now been rectified so expect some trial J and T's soon. This explains the lack of emailing.
    Also, New Jersey victorian houses are kind of creepy looking. I mean, I've seen those sorts of houses in films and stuff, but they actually exist??
    I think I want to live in one....

  16. http://www.food.com/recipe/raspberry-scottish-shortbread-vegan-222060

    here is the link to the cookie recipe I use, but I modified it a little according to the taste of the boys I bake for. I reduced the amount of oil, increased the amount of raspberry preserves and maple syrup AND added extra brown sugar coz the boys have serious sweet teeth. OH and I use a 7.8in x 7.8in pan instead of a 9x9!

    the result apparently is a 1 in x 1 in square of concentrated swoon.

    as for your starlings...omg. that video. *heebs*
    part of me thinks you should NOT kill them coz little birds are so cute to me, but then the video...*shudder*

    maybe you can have irish carnivore bonding time with your fellow farm-eating gaels?

    p.s.

    you are quite dragonish, now that you mention it.

  17. WHAT! That is crazy cheap for baked goods, especially "normal" ones. The only places that I've ever been to that are like that are Chinese bakeries, while delicious, do not have those foods.
