I can still sign up, though. My nominating Commedia dell'arte was probably not going to produce any results anyway. Still, I hate when I forget to get around to something because I keep remembering it constantly at the wrong time as opposed to because I completely forgot it existed.
4 Oct 2021
It's time to make a second backup copy of my important documents and my music and photo collections! I have had multiple backups before, but I sort of fell out of the habit recently in all the confusion. I forgot how long that took - it's been copying 3 hours now from the hdd to the new Avengers Tower external. In fact, for the last few years I've mostly been leaving my photos in Google Photos because I keep not getting around to culling the bad shots and downloading them, but I'm trying to fix that too. I want to have local copies.
I finalized a lettering design that says "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing", intending to order it on a shirt to wear to the jazz cafe, but when it came down to it I couldn't decide what color and type of shirt and didn't order one. Finally I realized that I don't really want more tshirts per se - I have a large tshirt collection; if anything I feel like I have trouble getting around to wearing my favorites - I just want to advertise all the stuff I love, so I ordered a bunch of stickers and buttons instead. I couldn't think of very many things to plaster with stickers, so most of them are on the covers of my notebooks, including my own design here!
One of Tristana's funniest characteristics is that she loves watching while the litterbox is cleaned. She always comes running in response to the sound, like in this video. She was pretty sleepy yesterday, though, so she mostly just watched. Sometimes she climbs right in the box and gets thoroughly in the way.

Apple Tosca Pie recipe
4 Oct 2021 05:29 pmTosca cake is a well-known Nordic delight, a light moist sponge topped with coating of almond slices in caramel. Also a favorite of mine! We found this recipe for this absolutely INCREDIBLE and highly recommended dessert in the magazine Yhteishyvä, here - Omenatoscakakku (for the Finns).
This is a pastry pie crust under a thick layer of juicy apple filling, so reminiscent of a traditional two-crusted fruit pie, but the filling is thicker and holds its shape when sliced more like a cake in spite of being mostly fruit. The top is a layer of Tosca topping, chopped nuts in caramel, and it's a very impressive dessert! I figured I'd post this because I translated it in order to send it to my family this morning.
The magazine picture mostly just shows a very lovely Tosca topping, so here's Wax's snapshot where you can see the filling, which is pink because it includes the peels.
