Feb. 6th, 2008 07:55 amSo it's apparently 65 degrees out, according to the weather channel website. Wow.
In other news, I feel a good rant coming on. Look for it later tonight. (Something on a forum a few minutes ago pressed the rant button. Yay soapbox issues!)

Feb. 6th, 2008 09:09 pmWhere the hell do I get some of the music that I have? Every now and then a track will pop up that I have to wonder where on earth it ever came from and what would have possessed me to put it on my ipod....
Then again, every now and then I find a really good track that way so I guess it balances out?

Feb. 6th, 2008 09:29 pmI just came across this blog entry :

And in the entry, this picture:

This is interesting. The first thing that struck me about this picture was the face on the statue. I can't remember the last time I've seen a face n a statue that looked so genuinely human (to me anyway)
The second was the body- very real. I looked at the picture for a minute, expecting it to start moving. Alas, jpegs do not move :-P
The other thing, the one thing that keeps this from being an absolutely astounding statue in my eyes is that the head and body are so out of proportion with each other, the head is so tiny. Also, the angle makes it look like it was photoshopped in.
Wonder what Hermes thinks of it? :-P

Cheesecake is believed to have originated in ancient Greece. Historians believe that cheesecake was served to the athletes during the first Olympic Games held in 776 B.C. However, cheese making can be traced back as far as 2,000 B.C., anthropologists have found cheese molds dating back to that period. Alan Davidson, author of the Oxford Companion to Food, wrote that, "cheesecake was mentioned in Marcus Porcius Cato's De re Rustica around 200 BCE and that Cato described making his cheese libum (cake) with results very similar to modern cheesecake."
The Romans spread cheesecake from Greece to across Europe. Centuries later cheesecake appeared in America, the recipes brought over by immigrants.
Eating cheesecake is the religious duty of the truly pious Hellenic.
