Scary Maybe, But Here You Go

Arrgh!
I can't get this to load, though it's probably just as well …

Have YouTube upgraded their blog support to include Beta yet? And if not, why not? There's a clip I've been wanting to post for weeks, but being on Beta, it wouldn't work.
I'll try again when I get home.

I don't think youtube has upgraded yet, but to the right of each video is an "embed" spot with the html stuff. You can copy and paste using that, and it usually works.

Here's the url for this treat:

scary maybe??

more like most definitely. why is that a creepy looking old guy, when added to something simple and enjoyable, like a cup of coffee, equals "things that make you go ewwww".

oh wait, did I just sum up old knudson, or what? ha ha.

Thanks for the tip, Robyn.
The clip works perfectly at home; the office servers must have a "good taste" filter stopping it getting through.

And hey, Adair! What's wrong with creepy looking old guys? Other than old K, of course …

Nightmares. Nightmares. That guy licking his chops is going to give me nightmares.

I thought I had posted this already. Hmmm...

He is a little nightmarish, I guess. I wonder what was going through his head when he was filming this--was there no one there to tell him that it was creepy?

I'm not sure what's been going on with blogspot the last couple of days, but some of my comments have been disappearing too.

Poor Old Knudson gets no respect.

The stain on the bottom of the first cup is really disturbing. I swear the man is really drinking blood.

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...

Right Brain Dominant

I am reading A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future , by Daniel H. Pink. I wouldn't have chosen this book had I been book hunting because I lean toward fiction—it was a gift from someone who, like me, is right-brain dominate. I haven't gotten very far, just far enough to learn that in Hippocrates' day, the left side of the brain was considered the true source of thought, the thing that separated us from the animals and made us human. It was the source of reason and logic. The right side was considered a useless left over, a parasite. Now we know that both sides of our brains are equally important and equally involved in our daily thoughts and functions. But some of us do seem to be governed by one side more strongly than the other. Me, sometimes I think the left side of my brain has completely atrophied, that the right side governs everything. But I am learning that I don't give that other side enough credit, that logical mathy side. As I read on ab...

Everybody Needs A Little Crème Brûlée

I went out to dinner with some friends the other evening and ordered crème brûlée for dessert. It was lovely—crispy sugar crust and creamy custard underneath. I'm a bit of crème brûlée fan and order it more often than I order any other restaurant dessert, which is not to say I always order dessert—only now and then. On my way home, I remembered I had a crème brûlée kit at home with ramekins, a torch, and a basic recipe. I love the torch. So, now I have made my favorite dessert at home, and I recommend that everyone have crème brûlée. It makes the world better. I used the recipe on the box, which was simple and basic. My only suggestion for improvement is to use less sugar for the caramelized crust. It was so thick, it was like chipping away at glass. An ice pick would have come in handy, or a diamond. Other recipes suggest 1/4 cup to be divided among six ramekins, making just over 1 tablespoon per serving. Crème Brûlée serves 4 1 cup heavy cream 2 extra large egg yolks (I used 3 re...
