    iTunes has looked like this for 4 hours now...

    I'm scared as to how long this will actually take.

    What possessed me to upgrade iOS4 right after starting Prisoner 84 is beyond me...

    Consoling myself by playing Shiren the Wanderer on my DS.

    The other sad thing is that I took screenshots of every (32!) page of apps, was going to sort through them and figure out folders, but I forgot to copy the images over before hitting "update". :(

    Watch a movie. Play Pokemon. Eat a cake.

    But the most important thing you can do in this harsh time is play Hook Champ. Wait...

    Only books I have with me here at work that aren't manuals are The Cave of Time and Light on Quests Mountain.

    I won't be getting anywhere in Super Quick Hook today. :(

    The weather is nice
    But I am stuck at work now

    I'm all outta darts. (Grr. Lyrics nowhere to be found!)

    Then do... work...?

    I guess that would be nonsense though to assume that people actually do their jobs nowadays.

    I do work!

    I just happen to be blessed with a job that has lots of little bits of downtime, enough to make a post or two here or retry a level in SQH... Sometimes while waiting for a meeting to start coworkers an I get in a quick game or three of something - everybody knows I'm a geek here. ;) Last time my boss caught us playing SlotZ Racer she just laughed at us... :)

    Getting some use out of my DS today - but overall not as much as it's not quite as discreet as the iPod. (Most everybody sets their iPhones/Blackberries/etc out where they are anyway - very common to get called away to work on something at pretty much any time.

    Thanks for listening everybody. I may not love you all like Lt. Action does, but I do care. ;)

    BONUS POST:

    I almost forgot I had this handy, good insta-cake for work! (Drive your coworkers mad with the smell! ;))


    The Most Dangerous Cake Recipe in the World

    Ingredients

    4 tablespoons self-raising flour
    4 tablespoons sugar
    2 tablespoons cocoa
    1 egg
    3 tablespoons milk
    3 tablespoons oil or melted butter
    A small splash of vanilla extract
    1 large coffee mug, approximately one pint capacity

    Optional ingredients

    Chocolate chips
    Marshmallows
    Nuts
    Nutella spread
    ...or whatever you fancy!

    Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil/butter and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

    Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3.5 minutes at 800 watts (high). The cake might rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little and tip out onto a plate if desired.

    EAT! (This can serve two if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are only five minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

    My favourite version of this cake is syrup sponge. Mix up the ingredients in a bowl (without cocoa obviously) and in another bowl (or the pint mug) put in 2 to 3 tablespoons of golden syrup. Then transfer the mixture to this bowl so it's on top of the golden syrup. Put this in the microwave for 3 1/2 minutes and then cut around the cake in the bowl with a knife and tip onto a plate. It's delicious.

    I made that exact cake (same website and everything, I remember it pretty well), and it really didn't come out as great as I thought it would be, and my expectations were pretty low.

    Especially this kind of cake. I've tried one of these quick microwave cake recipes before too, and I would not call what comes out at the end a cake.

    Just don't serve it raw. That's how my relative learned Rockie was fake & then because of that, needed a carpet cleaner.

    Suicide is the only logical option now. You've gone to far, you can't go back.

    Your fellow iFriends don't really "get" you now, you have no one to talk too, no one to turn too.

    All is lost...

    Until it is backed up.
