You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

We changed our clocks for nothing?!

Turns out that time change March 11 didn't save any money at all.  In the words of my old roommate S, "good one."

test your movie music knowledge

Another great Mental Floss feature. They've had a couple of these.  I did poorly on the last one, but it was fun.  So click here and test your movie music knowledge.

good line? and a recipe

I had to get a suture.  I was laughing so hard I actually bust a gut. (said in dead pan tone)

I made some halibut last night and it was fantastic, lemon and dill.  I also made pizza bread.  It turned out very well (it's been several years since I've made it) and it's crazy easy.  Follow along now.

Crazy Delicious, Super Easy Pizza Bread

1 package instant yeast (I think it's a tsp. but I don't know.  I just buy the three packs)
3/4 warm water
2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt (i like kosher salt)
1 1/2 - 2 cups flour
2 tbsp. melted butter
Parmesan cheese
Italian Seasoning (the club house version is quite good)
Seasoning salt

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Measure out water in a medium sized bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top of water.  Add sugar.  Stir with a spoon until yeast is dissolved. Throw in the salt and stir a little. Add flour slowing and continue to stir. I don't know how much flour you'll need really because you just keep adding till you can't stir any more, then you keep on adding flour while kneading by hand until it's no longer sticky.

Roll it out onto a greased cookie sheet (pizza pan, whatever). You can toss it too but it takes more time unless you're really good at it; we want pizza now.

Brush butter (oil, melted margarine) on it. Sprinkle some cheese, Italian seasoning, and seasoning salt.  Sprinkle whatever you want really.

Bake 10-15 (until bottom is brown). 

Come back and comment on the recipe and if it worked for you or not and what changes made it even better.

I think that's it.  Have fun!

Go here to figure out how much caffeine you're intaking. I intake about 370mg a day over a 10 hour period.
