Lovely

Well, today started horrendously, but makeup, a Guinness and a near two hours of The Tossers live has fixed that. Surprisingly (and somewhat embarrassingly), I do believe that was my first guinness...huh. Anyway, no need to comment on what mucked up the earlier part of the day, but let's say that it was sufficiently heinous. And non-scholastic, so no school worries there. Which reminds me: have I mentioned I'm dropping my minor and its requisite course(s)? That puts me at a whopping 12 hours for the semester. I now have time to get everything done, and possibly extra things (like sleep) too!
In other news, I made some of the most killer brownies ever.

Heavy Brownies
1 19 oz (the boxed kind) brownie mix
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/2? cup water (oil & water on the box)
2 tsps vanilla extract
1 tbs cinnamon sugar (or 1 to 2 tsp plain ol' cinnamon)
1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
caramel sauce
hot fudge sauce (yes, these'd be the bottled syrupy kinds...)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom of 9x13 pan.
1. Stir together the mix, eggs, oil, water, extract and cinnamon until most of the lumps are broken up. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
2. Cover the bottom of 9x13 pan with <1/2 batter. Bake ~10 minutes.
3. Remove from oven. Squirt/pour/spoon caramel & fudge sauces over the set mixture. Cover with rest of batter. (Recommendation: add the batter on top from the sides & work to the center. There will be some mixing, but this method keeps most of the sauces from sticking & burning on the sides later.)
4. Bake for...30 minutes (I forgot to actually watch the time, so I don't actually know how long I baked 'em.)
5. Eat them (but not by yourself). You'll want some milk...and possibly some water also. (My opinion: homemade vanilla ice cream with these brownies would potentially kill someone. Maybe not the best plan...)

My batch came out with that dense slightly overdone consistency I love, with the bonus of a creamy, fudgy center. Ridiculously delish. Score.

Is there other news? Nothing of note really. Got to design posters/flyers/table tents tomorrow and also finish up a hard drive reskin. Plus some uber heavy studying for art history and a small type up for advprod. The usual, sorta boring stuff really.

And thanks to sleep deprivation combined with guinness, it is time for bed.

Night, all.
