WHAT’S UP INTERNET

If you’re a gamer, you probably noticed all the new stuff being announces at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. I’m super excited, especially about all the announcements from Sony and Nintendo.

Lots of people are excited for different consoles and their respective games, LIKE THE 3DS. So here’s your chance to win one! The winner will receive a red 3DS XL system (like new, used only a few times) with its original box, charger, manuals, and AR cards. Plus, the two latest killer apps for the 3DS, Fire Emblem: Awakening and Animal Crossing: New Leaf!

Rules:

  1. Sadly, the 3DS is region-locked, so I am only shipping to the United States.
  2. Reblogs count, Likes do not. Reblog as much as you like, but try not to spam 50 reblogs in a row.
  3. If you make a fake, empty, giveaway blog or something like that to spam reblogs then all your entries will be invalid.
  4. I will need the winner’s address for shipping purposes, so you have to be comfortable with sharing this information.

The giveaway will end on Friday, June 21st and the winner will be announced on that day! Good luck!

I woke up at 8 to read, after 9 hours of amazing sleep, finished my book, ate a bunch of chunky peanut butter, and now I’m researching MLA for my Jekyll and Hyde/Doctor Moreau paper. I think I’m going to take a nap. I feel kind of downtrodden for some reason, probably because it’s so dark in this house right now.

*That* Chocolate Cake
makes one 3-layer 8” cakefor frosting:1 3/4 cups (350 gr) sugar1 1/2 cups heavy cream7.5 oz (213 gr) unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped12 Tbspn unsalted butter, cut into small pieces1 1/2 tspn vanilla extract1. In a saucepan, bring the sugar and heavy cream to a boil over medium heat.2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the cream and sugar for six minutes. Be careful not to let the saucepan overflow.3. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate and butter until they have completely melted.4. Stir in the vanilla extract.5. Let the frosting cool completely, whisking every now and then during cooling.  (You can do this step in the refrigerator to speed up the process)  Once completely cool at room temperature, the frosting will be spreadable.for cake:3 cups (600 gr) sugarscant 3 cups (425 gr) AP flour1 cup + 2 Tbspn (135 gr) Dutch-processed cocoa powder1 1/2 tspn salt2 1/4 tspn baking powder2 1/4 tspn baking soda3 eggs3/4 cup vegetable oil1 1/2 cup whole milk1 1/2 cup hot coffee1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease, flour, and line the bottoms of three 8” round cake pans. If desired, wrap the cake pans with bake-even strips.2. In a mixer bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix to combine.3. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs, vegetable oil, and milk. Stir to mix. Then, with the mixer on low, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix on low until evenly distributed.4. Pour the hot coffee into the batter and mix on medium low until smooth. The batter will be soupy.5. Divide the batter between the cake pans.6. Bake for 35-45 minutes. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out cleanly, the cakes are done. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.7. Level the cakes (this is easier if they’ve sat in the freezer for at least one hour beforehand).8. Stack the cakes, spreading a layer of frosting in between each cake layer. Frost the outside of the cake—for a smoother finish, use a hot knife.Note: this recipe also works for a 3-layer 9” cake, with slightly shorter layers.

The Chalice Well, Glastonbury, England
Also known as ‘The Well of Avalon’.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the well has been in almost constant use for at least two thousand years. Water issues from the spring at a rate of 25,000 gallons per day and has never failed, even during drought. The water is believed to possess healing qualities.
The Well is often portrayed as a symbol of the female aspect of deity, with the male symbolised by Glastonbury Tor. As such, it is a popular destination for pilgrims in search of the divine feminine, including Pagans. The Well is however popular with all faiths and in 2001 became a World Peace Garden.

Such a nice walk around with my boys. We played that onion game and walked for like two hours or something, mainly just meandering around neighborhoods. It was nice discussing hell, too. I’m so sleepy nowww~~~

Tomorrow: wake up early and take my baby brother to the doctor, read my book, hang out with Anna all day long and play Paper Mario and finally beat it once and FOR ALL while eating delicious treats probably.

I kept thinking about an episode of what I thought was Goosebumps, but it was actually this show that played on ABC called Bonechillers that was basically the same thing.

Had about a cup of Tecate and feeling pretty nice. Such a delicious beer. Now we’re watching Goosebumps. I really want to walk to the park!
