Jack took Jackson down to L.A. for a Lakers game tonight (Nets, 7:30, check your local listings) and I am alone in the house at night for the first time in maybe two-and-a-half years. I’m alone here during the day all the time, but night-time is totally different! I have my ferocious pack of hair-trigger bulldogs to keep me safe from any babies that might be crying on TV, I made myself a ridiculous, all-brown dinner of gloppy flax pasta with feta and some expired to the point of tasting fermented sweet-potato fries*, I have an ambitious stack of movies** to watch, it’s raining, the fire’s going, and uh, what was that alarm code again?
*Not last week I bought the heaviest vegetarian cookbook money can buy, and yet this evening I felt compelled to combine the dumbest ingredients we had on hand for my special night. I sure do know how to treat myself. But oh, will there be cookies later? THERE WILL BE COOKIES LATER. If I haven’t opened any wine, that is.
** A Lot Like Love, Deer Hunter, Blade Runner, Sunset Boulevard, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Slap Shot, Topsy Turvy, 40 Year Old Virgin, Chinatown, Garden State, Galaxy Quest, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Intolerable Cruelty
UPDATE: Fuck it all, I watched a yoga DVD. It was basically watching a skinny man do an abnormally slow ballet. With no music. Just a calm, centered narrator who hypnotized me into making cookies halfway through the standing postures. And they came out tasting like hemp and vitamins. So I’m going to bed.

The Deer Hunter…best ever! I haven’t watched it years, but that is a classic. Enjoy your evening.
That is sort of disappointing. Can you make it up late with some more decadent cookies and a porno?
The mere fact that Slap Shot was on the list cemented you on my Top Ten Bloggers Who Totally Kick Ass List.
Trying to imagine hemp and vitamin cookies. ha ha ha ha ha!
I saw A Lot Like Love on TV last weekend – it was the second time I saw it and I must say, it got better the second time around. Great chick flick. Make sure no males are in the vicinity.
Mmmmmm, forbidden hemp and vitamins cookies, arlhlhlhlhlhgh….
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hemp and vitamin flavored cookies are only scary if they contain no hemp or vitamins. Otherwise, it’s a totally appropriate flavor… although I agree, not very appealing! Can you not put some carob or yogurt covered nummies in them to liven them up a bit?
That’s the one major thing about trying to avoid fat… fat is the only thing that melts properly. You leave fat out of things like cheese, butter and chocolate and you get non-melty substances that have to rely too heavily on sweetening agents, which causes them to have weird texture and an unpleasantly lingering aftertaste.
I say, just buy some Ghirardeli brownie mix and watch Galaxy Quest!
Northerngurl, I love Deer Hunter, it’s perfect for a gray day as long as you don’t have a kid running around begging you to change the channel.
JenB, I find porn really depressing.
Jenn, did you know Slap Shot was written by a woman? It’s true.
Kate, don’t try to imagine it, you can create it for yourself using that awful Smart Balance peanut butter.
Bellacanatre, isn’t it good? It’s one of those best kept secret movies, totally better than you think it’s going to be. Jack likes it, too, and thus we refute the “chick flick” label.
Goodfather, see above. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
TitanTK, I think I actually put too much fat in the cookies, three sticks of butter!
When alone, may I recommend watching Amadeus at a ridiculously loud volume.
YOU are a wild woman!
Boy, you really know how to screw up your alone time.
Three sticks of butter!? Was Paula Deen coming over?
Yoga???? ?. ?. You’re definitely out of practice on your creature comfort regimen.
May I suggest next time:
1) Green, Red and Orange peppers sauteed in some soy sauce with a tad of brown sugar, and GOOD swiss, in a pita.
2) Orlando (with Tilda Swinton)
3) Paul Newman’s fig newtons if going natural or nasty marshmallow pinwheels if not.
Oh thank goodness! “Hemp and vitamin cookies” to get Antonia’s recent comment about Ian’s… erm… well.
These blogging phrases – worse than 80′s dance music for getting stuck in my head!
After a date like that, I’d break up with yourself.
