Oh joyous day! Porn sites get their own domain name .xxx

Way back when...I remember being a nerdy 7th grader, way back when at the advent of the internet, and blazing fast dial-up speeds, and doing what all kids do.  See if your name as a website pops up as anything interesting.

So a group of us gathered at the computer bay in the library, fired up internet explorer and typed in www.niki.com.  LUCKY ME it was a porn site. Not that I needed anything more added to the bountiful box of clever ways to taunt and tease me as a young adolescent (after my mom so kindly wrote my nicknames in sharpie on my gym clothes.)  And no I won't tell you what they are, they were supposed to die long ago.

With porn sites finally getting their own domain name, I wondered if, after 13 years, niki.com, the sexsite still existed.

And yes, I'm proud to report, that it still does.

*Wow and in also googleing Niki... I've found out that I have my own airline.*

FLY NIKI!!

Cake & Heels

In my continued attempts to create and maintain as many blogs as humanly possible, I've started another one.

Oh no!  Here we go again, right?

But really, the reasoning behind this is simple.  As I've found myself in a place where I'm doing much less loving & leaving of people in my spare time, and much more baking, the stories I'm constantly posting on this blog have very little relevance to the title. 

I'm going to maintain my love them & leave them to blog about things that interest me, of the slightly more scandalous nature...

And my new blog is the PG-13 (well more like PG-21, because really alcohol is a very important part of my baking) mecca for all things baked! 

So here we go.

Eat My Blog Bake Sale

Last December a whole group of bloggers got together to showcase their amazing baking talents, while concurrently raising money for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. It also happened to be the location of my first "date" (well really a Myra, non-date, is this really a date? kind of date) with the G-Man. So it makes sense that on my birthday & very close to our 6-month "anniversary" we'd hit the streets for a summer goodie treat.

It was quite the feast, and I also got my first experience with Scoops! Pear & Gorgonzola Ice Cream?! WTF? I mean I know Caroline knew what she was talking about when she mandated to try every flavor at scoops, but why have none of you dragged me there?? Seriously, incredible.

Speaking of Caroline, I got to meet my cracked out favorite blogger IRL, and she even gave me a shout out on her blog!

But speaking of bake-sales, my mentee, mento, little NYUer and I have decided we need a bake-sale of our own! Our charity? Tisch West. How... gracious alumni of us, right?

Oh Porn & Disney, elevating expectations...

thanks kristin for sending!

Idea Factory: Peanut Butter Pasta

All in all a very cute little lego animation. Enjoy!

"It doesn't even tell you how to make the heart in the apple ... and I was all like WTF?!"

annulled.

else.
