And Pepsi points? 5 Pepsi's = 1 free download? Remember when 1 cap =1 download? Well, that and tipping the bottle to get a winner? I guess it's roughly equivalent to not cheating when iTunes had that deal *hmmmph*. Oh well.
It's Self-Portrait Thursday.

What's one thing you regret doing, or not doing?
Submitted by ashleyy.
Regret is a huge waste of time and life. If you find yourself regretting something that you can revisit, then revisit it. If you regret having left a city you lived in, move back. If you can't do a goddamned thing about it, do your best to learn from it and let it go. I know, easier said than done. :)
I don't know, you tell me!

I sent too many of these out every day. Maybe if I spread word of these questions, someone out there will heed the message and send us poor help people some more information! :) The more information you provide, the faster you help us resolve it for you.
This is what I did:
Preheat oven to 330 degrees.
4 cups of boiling water
8 bags of sweet coconut celestial seasoning chai (maybe other varieties would work)
1/2+ cup of Jasmine rice.
5 cups of half and half.
1 cup of water.
1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup of chopped dates.
pinch of salt
Pour boiling water over teabags and let steep, still occasionally and squeeze the flavor out occasionally - don't break the bags. Once you're convinced you got all the flavor out, sqeeze bags once more and discard. Add all the rest except the dates. Cook for 2 1/2 hours, stirring the skin in occasionally. 1/2 hour add dates, stir, last 20 minutes stir, let bake without stirring until a nice crust forms.
Take out of oven and cool, place in a cold area until cold. and... then.. like, eat it.
I haven't tried it yet. Stay tuned for that.
Verdict: not bad, but my advice: skip the dates. They kind of disintegrate and leave those skins behind :-/ still not bad though.

Clive Barker. Looks like a good Clive Barker.
I haven't seen an M Night movie I didn't like. Maybe I haven't seen them all, but I like the feeling that someone's taking me by the arm and guiding me with them through their imagination. I admit, I wasn't overly impressed with The Village, it wasn't completely terrible, but it just didn't work in my head.
Here is a link with brief embedded trailer for his latest "The Happening". Exciting!
Have you ever had a premonition about something that came true?
Submitted by Sheri.
Not really. Aside from one freaky dream that 'came true', and little feelings, nope. I'm pretty darn good with what I'm given though. Usually with that, I'm more than pleased to be wrong.
