In Responce

So HFS compared Phileas to Mr. Darcy, if that isn't a reason to not vote for Phileas I don't know what is.

VOTE DORIAN

-MaggieG, Evil Goblin Overlady

THIS IS AN ENDORSMENT

Okay you see that little poll over -------> there?
What you need to do is click on the name that says Dorian okay? Please?

You see it's like this:

If you love your Goblin leader and main blogger you'll vote for Dorian.

If you're a bigger fan of the newb HFS (and seriously why would you be? I'm the more lovable one.) Then you'll vote for her name Phileas.


So really? Which one is the better vote?

-MaggieG, Evil Goblin Overlady.

THE 101ST POST

While not as impressive as the 100th, which is rightfully mine and it's not /my/ fault I have semi-slow internet is it HFS? IS IT!! Oh and for the record I can indeed delete that post.

And NEW POLL!!! We need to name that last little fishy, and the two to choose from are Dorian and Phileas, and FYI NOT AS IN HARRY POTTER.

-Maggie G, Evil Goblin Overlady.

The Sponge

This is the lovely sponge HFS gave me. I also recently read The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Neil Gaimen's new book. Post about that tomorrow.

Um, Hehe, Erm.....

About that last post by HFS, well... She's not going to be overtaking this blog anytime soon. Not if I can help it at least. (I WILL take your admin powers away!) However, she is the one writing in red (unless you're colorblind. DID YOU TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION HFS?! DID YOU?!) Oh well, it's easy to tell which are her posts, they'll be the haughty pretentious complicated more Sherlock-ish, if you catch my drift. (Do you?)

~~~~~~~~~

I mad more turnovers, they're so delicious! Better than yesterdays, I had changed the recipe. Usually I follow the one below:

2 1/2 cups flour
Shake of salt
3/4 cups shortening/butter
6-7 tablespoons water/Vodka (I'll explain in a bit)

So you cut the shortening into the flour and salt, slowly add the water vodka mix stiring as you go. (Don't over work the dough) roll it out for pies and such. (yeah it's not a detailed recipe but what the heck.)

So I do a half butter half shortening mix for flavor and flakiness. I also add the vodka because the alcohol burns off and it acts as a very good bonding agent. However, the dough then tends to get tough very quickly. So I omitted the shortening and vodka today and they turned out even better than yesterday. Simpler is just better I guess.

(And would the person(s) who found my blog via searching 'Benedict Cumberbatch' please contact me.... I want to know how the hell you did it. Because I've tried.)

Turnovers

I finally made them! The HFS and I today enjoyed in the partaking of apple /sugar/cinnamon turnovers. Homemade! HFS would like me to mention that she did indeed measure the flour for the crust of the turnovers while I did.... everything else.

Don't they look tasty?

She did actually bring her own milk. She makes me so proud! Let it rain sparkles!

-MaggieG, Evil Goblin Overlady

A Few More Things

HFS made a brilliant quote today I'd like to share it:

"When they come prancing in followed by rainbows and unicorns while sparkles fall from the sky."

Brill eh? You'd have to know what she was actually talking about but it was damn funny.

As a matter of fact. HFS is soon to be a  co-blogger. Soon she shall wield the power of posting once she gets over here and I show her how to work blogger. (Tomorrow hopefully. I'm gonna have turnovers!) So I hope you'll stick around to see what ramblings I mean words of incredible importance she posts on here. That's all for now.

What is Wrong With This Fandom?

Cumberbitches. There I typed it. The newest fandom I am aware of. Keep your Sherlockians, your Trekkies, your Whovians, your Rebels. Women of today are Cumberbitches.

Come. On. You have got to be kidding me. Cumberbitches? Really? ANYONE could have come up with something better. ANYONE.

Okay I found a quote on this matter:

"Do any of those words make sense to you? They might, if you’re among the almost 37,000 members of “the most glorious and elusive society for the appreciation of the high cheekboned, blue eyed sexbomb that is Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch,”

This quote was in an article I read on the matter. Now I love Cumberbatch. I really do. He's right up there in my adoration spectrum I just don't fawn over him around people. Just in private while I re-watch 'A Study in Pink' for the gazillionth time. But nonetheless I could have come up with a better fandom name. Which is why HFS and I have decided to start the 'I am Sherlocked' revolution. Starting now we are on a mission to eradicate the word 'Cumberbitch' from the Earth, (hey we're ambitious.) So today ladies of the highly esteemed Goblin High Court. When you go out today or go onto twitter. Don't identify as a 'Cumberbitch' instead say 'I am Sherlocked' because that HAS to be beter somehow. (Tweeting it works too.)

This has to be better.

-MaggieG, Evil Goblin Overlady

P.S. I found a swell name online 'Benaddicts'! It's great!

Phantom (Demon) Poodle

So as we were leaving the opera we decided to stop and grab a soda (which isn't helping the overlady's dentist induced headache.) And my mother, The Dame Margaret, saw a black poodle. Unfortunately, attempts to see the dog again proved futile and it was lost. Whether it was a phantom or demon remains unknown. (HFS wanted me to put this down.)

-MaggieG, Evil Goblin Overlady

On Carmen:

Well I was under enthused. It really was too sexual in all. The music was great but by the end of it I was just glad they were dead. But when I say too sexual I mean it. However, done right it could have been good. The costumes and scenery were good, the voices were good, and the story line was good. The sexual dancing..... not so much. I'm sorry to report that this was what mostly caught my eye. More from HFS in comments.

-MaggieG, (Tired) Evil Goblin Overlady

P.S. Might do a better post later.

This Post Specially Dedicated To...

HFS, because when I sent these through e-mail the disintegrated into numbers and letters. These were what I was sending to you. (It was late, 3 A.M., and I was bored.)

Despite grammar errors, it's pretty accurate.

HFS! They look like the horses you draw!

Arthur: Don't worry, Merlin! There is nothing I can't defeat! Camelot is safe with me! Merlin: Err... Sure, Sire, sure. *Utters incomprehensible magic formulas* (for those of us who can't read it.)

Yeah, but Merlin's team has magic!

Like I said in 'Blech' I had entirely too much time on my hands. And well..... you like Merlin.

-MaggieG, Evil Goblin Overlady.

P.S. HFS, I'll give you lessons soon.

Blegh

This is what happens when you have entirely too much time on your hands, the internet at your disposal, and you're trying to figure out how the heck some of the search terms even lead to your blog:

25 Things That Prove Benedict Cumberbatch is the Perfect Man I agree with a few....

My Happy Sewing Place It's a vintage sewing blog. I love it.

Cute Knitting Patterns I enjoy knitting occasionally, but HFS enjoys it a lot more.

I Write Like A text analyzer. Write something into it and it tell you what famous writer you're most like. (I got J.D. Salinger.)

They could be cousins. The cheekbones ahhh the cheekbones. (Benedict's cuter though.)

Wait wait wait?! When did Matt Smith end up in here. He's not anywhere near looking related.

BLOB CAT

I might not not post for a bit, I've given you about a weeks worth of posts in two days or so.

Lot's O' Boats!

It's little flag.

It's just missing the U.S.S.

The Harbor (again)

Sea Bear's Decal

Looks cool huh?

The name is stupid but the dead fish letters are cool.

This sail boat is 100% made of wood, it's beautiful.

CATS!

Can someone name where the boat's name is from?

Shadowfax from another angle.

More pictures of the sail boat.

Wasn't in harbor but I liked the name.

And it's the DAWN TREADER (where's the name from?)

Still the 'Treader

Isn't it pretty?

Will you do the fandango?

Also made of mostly wood, it's so pwetty.

Sea Duction

This picture specially for HFS

It's a glorified houseboat. No joke.

Hunky Dory (just made me think of the Bowie album.

"Now Clara, who's Clara?" *wink*

Glorified Houseboat. Told ya!
