This why I don't like house renovation.
'Cause now I gotta have random moments where I wonder about the roof maybe caving in until I get time to fix this problem.
I'd rather just not have known. >_<

*kicks thread*
WELCOME BACK, THREAD!
eggs => baking soda & vinegar
butter => coconut oil
coconut oil melts my measuring cup (which is supposed to be microwave safe)
baking soda & vinegar combination produces some worrying chemical reactions
proceed anyway with this recipe because I very really seriously need cookies right now despite not having butter and eggs.
Pretty sure it's not going to work because it's got the consistency of powder instead of dough
but it's chillin' now
we'll see what happens
it's delicious so far so I might just eat it straight out of the bowl if it won't actually make cookies because I'm a masochist like that
WE'LL SEE HOW THIS GOES THOUGH
EDIT:
OK I chilled it for almost 2 hours, the coconut oil turned it into a rock. I heated it up a bit, mixed it again, added water (probably the wrong thing to do), it definitely wasn't going to be a cookie at this point but I put it in a pan and put it in the oven anyway.
I now have a cookie-brownie thing that tastes really similar to banana bread but without the banana.
Not something I'll ever try to make/substitute again but it's at least edible LOL
So not a TOTAL disaster!

Making a pottermore account because you don't know what wand your character should have is odd, and yes, I did it.

I'm convinced that there are a lot of songs that start off as profound, but then some marketing executive says "We can't have this! The public wouldn't be able to handle it." or that artists want to wake people up without being caught by the Illuminati.
For example, take the lyrics to "Just an Illusion" by Imagination. If you don't focus on the love fluff that seems crammed in, you have a song about mereological nihilism and how the internal struggle eats the narrator up because he can't relate to others who are trapped in the illusion. The repetition of being "just an illusion" is purposeful, to reiterate the plain fact that life is meaningless under the guise of a love song.
Starting line:
"Searching for a destiny that's mine // There's another place another time"
Perfect irony to signal there's double meaning to the song. It is ironic because if one is destined to do something, there are no digressions. Destiny is an illusion.
"Touching many hearts along the way yeah // Hoping that I'll never have to say // It's just an illusion"
He doesn't want to say it's an illusion, but knows it to be the case, that it is an illusion. The truth is painful, and can only be attained through the self. He can touch the hearts, but he can't be the one to shatter the illusions built around us.
"Follow your emotions anywhere // Is it really magic in the air"
Emotions are all arbitrary, so you might as well enjoy ourselves. We all know magic isn't real, so the question is self-answering. We should be free to question "magical thinking" always.
"Never let your feelings get you down // Open up your eyes and look around"
Accept that life is meaningless, but learn to cope
"Could it be a picture in my mind // Never sure exactly what I'll find"
What we experience is merely a picture in the mind, and not necessarily reflective of objective reality.
"Only in my dreams I turn you on // Here for just a moment then you're gone"
I think the first part of this line is fluff, a way to trick people into believing it's about love and that the person that's gone is the person of his dreams, but the second part is much more poigant. We live for just a brief moment, and then we're gone.

When I can't sleep I decide to go down memory lane and rewatch some old cartoons. Boy, I never realized how fast-paced the 1990's Spider-Man cartoon was, everything happens so fast that it's honestly a little laughable! Still a good watch though

If I gain enough experience to be skilled at a game/sport does that make me productive or nonproductive?
