Sike! I'm Not Dead!

Waddup, dudes?

So, contrary to popular belief, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.

I've obviously been doing very exhilarating things:

 Refining my photography skills (among other things):

And hanging out with these cool cats:

I swear we're all very normal.

The Mac n' Cheese Massacre (?)

First of all, let me get one thing straight. I was not planning on spending 45 minutes on mac n' cheese.

I seriously just wanted some darn noodles with melted cheese.

My first problem: there was shredded cheese in the fridge, not slices. (Wow. What a problem.)

I had no idea how to melt shredded cheese, but I remembered my days of watching Good Eats with Alton Brown - and decided the double pan concept would somewhat work. 

Nope.

Of course, the next logical step was to turn to the webz.

Help?

Yahoo Answers said not to melt it in the microwave, so the obvious answer was to nuke it.

First check: wha?

Update: I have created a cheese disc.
But I added milk, because two types of dairy is better than one.

Progress.

Have I created curdled milk?

Adding more cheese to this disaster only seemed right.

If this were an actual tutorial, I would have warned you to start boiling your noodles a while ago. But I didn't, so why should a warn you?

There's a time to learn everything.
(When you should turn down the stove)

YAAASSSS.

Final product: I'd say it was a miracle in itself.

Whatta beauty.

5 Best Firework Fails

It's the Fourth of July, ya gungans!

And as a kind American, I've taken the liberty to research the "best" firework fails this country has ever seen.

Take it all in:

 1. This guy who had one too many before exploding his explosives.

2. Such majestic. Much beautiful.

3. Isn't it just great when someone stands in the way of your fireworks?

4. A portable fireworks display.  Can you say risky? 

5. Okay, this one's kind of pretty.

Stay safe, you beautiful idiots.
