I’m so excited about my new job, y’all! I don’t officially start until June 9th. I’m trying to enjoy this unexpected vacation, but it’s really hard not to mentally jump the gun. That image there? It’s from Apple’s new iPad Changes Everything campaign, which prominently features Canva at the 8-second mark.
The Snook has been perfecting his hamburger recipe for some time now. We bought a KitchenAid grinder attachment last year (when he dressed as Bob Belcher for Halloween), and he’s been doing a version of Heston’s method ever since. (Just the meat part; not the insane DIY buns, cheese, and ketchup.) I wonder if the “Smash” technique is worth the additional effort. Smitten Kitchen has posted her recipe, and Epicurious has a big investigative article as well as their own recipe too.
Traditional Korean rice liquor (Makgeolli) recipe – Maangchi.com – I might have to try this.
Here’s Coldplay’s GoT Musical in All Its Glory — Vulture – I laughed and laughed and laughed. “Kit Snow.”
ABQ – A Breaking Bad inspired popup cocktail bar in London – What a brilliant idea! But damn – 20+ people in an RV seems like a LOT. More info here.
Scrabble adds even more garbage words to its dictionary � Newswire � The A.V. Club – This is the worst. They don’t even spell n00b correctly!
Knotted Rope Bowls – How Did You Make This? | Luxe DIY – This reminds me quite a bit of the bowl I made last month at the “basket weaving” class!
Mad Max: Fury Road Is the Feminist Action Flick You’ve Been Waiting For | VICE | United States – WOW. Look, up until yesterday I was completely ambivalent about seeing the new Mad Max movie. I only watched like half of the first one before getting bored, and I don’t remember seeing either of the two sequels. But my friend Kelly worked on it (she famously once got me an autographed photo of Ewan McGregor), and I saw it was getting some really good reviews… AND THEN last night I read that some whiny MRA crybaby wants dudes to boycott it because Charlize Theron talks too much in the trailers or something, and ZOMG WHAT NOW I HAVE TO SEE THIS.
So today we went, and it was awesome. CARS CRASHING! FLAMES SPURTING! KICKASS MOTORCYCLE GRANNIES WITH GUNS. When the pole boys appeared during that final road war my brain nearly fell out, and I leaned over to the Snook and whispered “WHAT THE HELL I CAN’T EVEN GAHHHHHHH.” He was too busy pretending to be iOTA the Doof Warrior and feverishly air guitaring in his seat. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really should. And don’t just torrent it; this is the kind of thing that needs to be seen on as LARGE and LOUD a screen as possible.
And dibs on Furiosa for next Halloween. I’m calling it right now.
