Mmmm. Chocolate granola.

I am ADDICTED to this. It's like Cocoa Rice Krispies for adults! You don't have to eat three bowlfuls to feel full, and you're not hungry again in twenty minutes. HOMG SO GOOD.

AND DID I MENTION THE CHOCOLATE?!?! AND HOW IT MAKES THE MILK ALL CHOCOLATELY?!?!?

*drools*

I also have two links for anyone who would like some amusing Sunday/Monday/whenever reading: firstly, this article about a kickass old lady who beaned a bunch of would-be burglars with a pot. My favourite quote:

"I picked up the saucepan and smacked him right on the head," she said. "He looked at me and said, 'Lady, why did you do that?' And I hit him again."


Also, there is a review of what sounds like one of the least-sexy-sounding romance novels of all time that several different people have linked to, and I would be remiss if I didn't make sure you could all share in the horror. I'm a good friend like that. *beams*

I'm sure I had something to say about that cereal, but that romance novel just blew it out of the water wiped it clean from my mind.

It's quite...something, isn't it? I lack the words to adequately describe that novel. Partly because my brain can't stop going over terms like "disappointed queef" and "ladysoftness." LADYSOFTNESS. *shudder*

The thought of a disappointed vagina and the noises it would make stopped me dead for a good minute or two, certainly.

[identity profile] shoebox2.livejournal.com 2009-03-22 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
OK, so I checked out the 'novel' and...the next time you get an urge to be friendly like that I may have to break out the saucepan myself. :) Seriously, I felt my self-respect plunging just reading the opening lines.

*EVOL GLEE* Your icon. FOR THE WIN.

Hey, you know. Misery loves company and all that. *toothy grin*

[identity profile] shoebox2.livejournal.com 2009-03-22 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, thanks. OK, so you do get points for giving me the chance I'd been dying for to use that icon...:)

Wow, you're alive! Cool!

And dear gods that novel sounds horrible.

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-22 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, for now at any rate - if nobody kills me over that last link. *g*

It does, doesn't it? It sounds epic enough in its linguistic carnage that I almost want to read it. ALMOST. BUT NOT QUITE. *shudders*

[identity profile] mycrazyhair.livejournal.com 2009-03-22 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's not quite bad enough to be funny. Like last night we watched Underworld II. Very very bad. But maybe not quite bad enough. Either that or there just weren't enough pretty people in leather.

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-22 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That's ultimately why I decided against reading it. (Underworld II or III? I did see II in the theatre *coughfortheprettypeopleinleathercough* a couple of years ago but couldn't bring myself to watch III...)

Just reading the review makes me want to punch something. XD

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right? There's wrong, and then there WROOOOONG. *shudders*

[identity profile] openmydoors.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* pretty much.. *shudders*

Heee! I read that review, and it made me laugh lots.

That is an awesomely kickass old lady!

And do I want to know how many boxes of cereal you've gone through?

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
\o/

Actually, I'm still on my first. BUT GIVE ME 24 MORE HOURS. :D

dissapointed queeb

BWAHAHAHAHAAHHHHHAA! Oh dear god. I'm so glad I don't read romance novels. Although that one sounds in need of a good MST3K-ing.

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Right there with ya! Though I'm not at all sure I could get through it - even for the mockery - without gouging my eyes out...

[identity profile] nixwilliams.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
now i want chocolate cereal.

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
I RECOMMEND IT ZOMFG. Hell, I'd SEND you some except I don't trust that it would get past customs...

[identity profile] nixwilliams.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
too true! goddamn australian customs!

[identity profile] audreyovisual.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Do I even want to read more of that novel?

NO PLEASE GOD NO NONONO OH JEEEEBUS NOOOOO...

*flings self weeping into a corner and curls into a fetal ball*

Is it possible to revoke rights to the language for such egregious offenses?

If it isn't, it should be.

It's grunting and making hand gestures from now on, Jamaica. You heard me. And give me that pencil. I mean it.

Someone in the comments described it as "putting the 'rot' in 'erotic!" I wouldn't disagree...

[identity profile] krakkernuts.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I picked up some of that granola at the grocery store yesterday. You should get a commission! :)

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
\o/ I LIKE YOUR PLAN. *makes note to strongarm President's Choice with this excellent suggestion*

[identity profile] openmydoors.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
ALSO, I just bought that cereal today. Can't really eat it though, due to many many hurtful things going on in my mouth. :/ *grumble*

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-29 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw! *gentle hugs* I'll be curious to hear what you think of it, when you're up to giving it a try.

[identity profile] openmydoors.livejournal.com 2009-03-29 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
CHOCOLATEY! mmmm

Wow, just wow.

Came on here to see if you had posted anything new and oh, why, oh God did I click on that link. I didn't even finsh the review because I couldn't get through the first 3 or 4 exerpts. Please tell me that piece of garbage was a funny project from a creative writing class and not at all trying to be serious!?

In other news, I'm excited to pick up that cereal and try it. I'm super addicted to making homemade granola bars right now so cocoa granola cereal sounds awesome.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night!

Hi you! :D Hope you had a good week in Oshawa?

Sadly, serious. Scary, eh? And I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the cereal - and seeing you! :D

[identity profile] lostandalone22.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds really good.

[identity profile] dendritejungle.livejournal.com 2009-03-29 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It really really was. :D If I'm ever in your neck of the woods I'll bring you some to try!
