OMT (Oh My Thesis)

Clearly, I should have just stolen my thesis from Jonah. What was I thinking: "Hello, Wally! An Analysis of Mass Media's Ability to Communicate Substantively Within and Through the Film Wall-E"? What does that even mean? No, no, I should have gone with: "WALL-E is good because of the funny parts and the good parts. The end."

Stew of the Week: Special Battle Edition Winner

And the winner is...

Bev's!!!!

It was really no contest.

No, really, it was no contest because when I asked everyone which they wanted to make first, everyone chose Bev's and no one wanted to make the other kind. So Bev's wins on recipe alone (the rolled oats really put them over the edge). A truly complete victory.

However, let us not disregard the other cookies. We did use egg whites instead of eggs, less salt, whole rolled oats instead of chopped, and I believe possibly even less sugar, so huzzah!

The cookies this time were even better than when I made them at home. Fluffier, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, absolutely delightful.

And the vegan chocolate, chocolate chip cupcakes were scrumptious, as always. And a good helping of WALL-E added just the adorably romantic note to end the night. A happy birthday had by all!

Subway Ads that I Enjoy:

Part One of a new series:

Why do I enjoy this ad? Take a second look, and think back to a delightful film about a robot in love.

Now do they look familiar? Yep, they're the BNL ads in full force! Especially on the subway, when all you see is a series of these "Hope" "Joy" "XOXO" ads individually lining the subway walls. You could very well be in the Axiom.

Now all we need are some hover chairs and a "Cupcake in a Cup" and we're set.
