[silly, food, previous post]

The responses I got to my odd green pie are entertaining me.

Multiple things to say, since some people appear confused:

a) I already had the crust, and did not make it (some of the comments don't make sense to me, and I suspect that is why). I only made the jello. (yes, when I bought the crust and jello years ago, I did actually look for jello pudding. Found none, and was curious about the combination of the regular jello and the crust. It's only taken me something like 3 years to get around to actually satisfying my curiosity about what it would be like)

b) I avoid cooking, mostly, because it hurts my head and takes amazing amounts of effort (I do ever cook; just rarely, due to the energy required). Baking is much easier on me. That said, I'm not sure that I've ever baked anything from scratch or have the ingredients for that. And not that either cooking or baking was involved for what I did. :)

c) It was nearly my bedtime when I made it, so there was not _time_ to make anything more involved, even had I the ingredients or initiative. Jello is really quick, and really easy. Also, I did expect interesting results from putting something fully liquid onto a graham cracker crust, I was just not completely sure what the final result would be.

d) I'm not intending to have anyone else taste it (although if anyone wants to, I won't stop them). It helps satisfy my random cravings for sweet things, without me going out and buying something sweet. That was the point, along with satisfying my curiosity. :)

e) It takes like lime jello and slightly damp graham cracker crust (since the liquid from the jello was absorbed by the crust). It's neither amazing nor bad.

f) I now have half a mind to do this again, with gummy or similar fish (glow in the dark would be better, but I don't know if they exist), and some sort of frog. Of course, with my luck, it'd look far less interesting. :)

[tv, random]

So, I periodically note that I rarely watch TV without anyone else around, and have mostly watched series as a social activity.

This doesn't, however, necessarily mean that I would not miss certain series, even if I initially watched them as a social activity.

One such series which I had a heck of a time remembering the name of (eventually gave up and asked Google) was Sliders - which I actively miss, and want to see again. May have to track down the DVDs.

I missed Buffy when I stopped watching it (I'd watched it regularly with a couple of different people, so I have strange gaps in my viewing), although not enough to do anything about it. And not, I don't think, enough to purchase it. (Although I do want a copy of the musical, since it keeps getting in my head. I have the soundtrack already)

I actively tracked down Babylon 5, after hearing enough about it. Of course, at the time I was living on campus and was able to make use of the fact that I had cable and access to the Sci Fi channel. Also, I had a VCR to record it for later watching. But Babylon 5 is, IIRC, the reason I finally owned a TV and VCR.

I actively tracked down and purchased Firefly, after seeing a couple of episodes on a friend's DVD of the series.

So there _is_ TV that I enjoy enough to seek out. It's just rare.
