LOOK WHAT SAM HATH WROUGHT.

( Challah We Dance? )

( My Nuts, Let Me Show You Them )

( Summer Berries, Summer Cake, Summer Sugar -- Summer Pudding! )

( These Cookies Are Disgusting Pie )

( Kraft Dinner Is Ruined For Me Forever )

( Cause I'm cheese....CHEESE BALLIN )

So, basically, today, I literally cooked until I ran out of cheese.

I also made a kind of -- I'm not sure you can call it a salad, it was hardboiled eggs chopped and bacon and shredded cheese sprinkled on with chopped chicken, with some fresh spinach leaves and pickled mushrooms. More like a cold protein casserole with greens.

ALL BEFORE NOON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

I think it's time for a summer mixtape!

I got a bunch of new music so I kind of threw it up in the air with my old music and picked the summery stuff out. Those who've been around will have seen some of this stuff before (and probably wonder about my fixation on Janis Joplin).

I was a little worried for a while about the quality of some of the tracks but actually the two tracks that are the worst sound kinda good that way, like old radio broadcasts.

You can download the zip file from Sendspace or from Megaupload. The individual files, for those who want to pick and choose, are under the cut, along with the tracklist. The individual files aren't mirrored; it's just too much of a pain in the ass without a multi-uploader, I'm afraid.

Most of the music I chose for the tunes rather than the lyrics; these are light melodies but also conversations you'd have over a beer, stuff to dance with while you're grilling, songs to sing along with near the open window, road trip beats, tunes to relax to. Enjoy.

And if the only Chumbawamba you've experienced is Tubthumping, give 'em a go -- you'll be surprised and delighted.

Saturday night means two things: Don't ride the El after ten, and it's time for Sam's Three Things about Doctor Who!

Spoilers for 4.10: ( Midnight )

3a. This was going to be "I refuse to feel guilty for not knowing peoples' names. I'm pants with names." until I saw the preview and wow, spoiler much? I don't actually care about spoilers, I gleefully seek them out, but from a narrative standpoint it bothers me that a subplot the fandom's been buzzing over for nearly an entire season was just neatly explained in the preview. I suppose technically it's not a spoiler actually, any more than any other preview is, but why put the expositionary cart ahead of the narrative horse?
