my brain is a strange place

The mashups I create in my head when I have sold myself short on sleep:

Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl!
A solar system miss in a future wor-horld,
End up like a dog that's been beat too much!
Till you spend half your life just a coverin-up,
Till you spend half your life just a coverin-up.

pumpkin oat streusel muffins

Today's baking experiment: pumpkin oat streusel muffins.  I used white whole wheat flour, substituted butter for margarine and left out the nuts.

Not very pumpkiny.  Kind of boring, in fact, and the streusel is just weird.  The butter in it burned a little, which makes it bitter.  (Does streusel usually have butter or margarine in it?  The streusel recipes I've used have never included it.)

Halloween Parade!

LIVING ROOM - INT. EVENING

keyne walks in.

keyne: Uh.....
qwrrty: ???

keyne points at a suspiciously empty plate on the coffee table.

keyne: Did you put away the rest of the muffins, or did Sappho eat them all?
qwrrty (STARING): I didn't put them away.
keyne (PICKING UP PLATE): Well, at least they promote regularity.
qwrrty: Oh, please God not too much.
