'You have work. We get it.'

I assume that's what you lovelies are thinking every time I mention this essay or that exam.
Fear not--they're all over!
Well, until March, but who cares about that silly old month?
The answer: Not Liz.

Last week I handed in my last essay for that term. Even with two extensions and several all-nighters, it was not my best work by several thousand miles. It will not wow my deliciously dorky tutor to the point where he would like to discuss it over several glasses of wine, but it might upset him so much that we have to explore over several cups of tea what made it such a disaster. Either one of those is fine with me.

When it was all done and handed in, I took the long way home. Meaning, I stopped in every charity shop and bakery on my way home. At one of said bakeries, my delirious state of mind had me convinced that a mountain of croissants was exactly what I needed in my life to rid it of the stain of Chaucer's use of narrative devices. Don't worry. I thought better of it and got the most delicious lemon tart of my life instead. No pictures because it quickly found it's way into my tummy.

That's not to say that I didn't make any other ridiculous impulse buys.
Guess Who?
We've not stopped playing since I brought this home.

Coasters
For a Euro, you wouldn't have said 'No' either, so don't even play.

Beaded
Weird, beady hat? Maybe not the best choice I made.

New Hat
A far better grab was this beauty. Just under a fiver may be a bit steep for a charity shop, but I have a remarkably large head and I never find non-knitted hats to fit it. I think it's pretty schweet.

I got home and napped for a bit. At least, I think I did. I lost a few hours and then one of my housemates was baking cookies. I am a useless baker, so my job was to turn these
Cookies: Stage One
into this,
Cookies: Stage Two
which became these.
Cookies: Stage Three
Deliciousness.
She also bought some mad fruit.
Strange Fruit
Dragonfruit


Completely unrelated, but I am in love with these pens.
Staedtler
They're pretty much fine-tip markers, but they're cheap they don't bleed and I love them.
It's a dork thing.

Love!

Come, all ye faithful

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
Y'know, the kind with hot chocolate, fuzzy blankets, and minimal family awkwardness.
Even if you don't celebrate, I hope it was good anyway.

Rather than post about the presents I got or just how full of peppermint bark I am, I wanted to try something a little different.
After celebrating the birth of of the world's most famous mensch, I thought we might celebrate a commodity which, due to my time in Ireland, has been missing from my life.
I mean, of course, sexy Jewish men.

Eli Roth
Photobucket
Let's get the giant cock in the room right out of the way. Yes, he is a skeazeball who spends most of his time getting drunk and demanding a personal viewing of girls' boobs. Yes, his most notable roles include violence. Yes, he is remarkably hairy.
I am okay with all of this. Because he is sexual and looks damn good when killing Nazis.

Liev Schreiber
Liev Schreiber
Also falls under the category of "big and abusive" that I will be teased for enjoying. In our most primal and basic moments, ladies, we want this. You Tarzan. Me Jane. We bone.
You know this one is a teddy bear anyway.
A sexy, sexy teddy bear.

Jeremy Piven
Jeremy Piven
I would do terrible things to this man and his v-necks.
End of story.

Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum
Let's try to keep our minds out of the gutter.
Nobody ever listens to Jeff Goldblum. From dinosaurs to aliens, people just don't take him seriously.
Keeping his shirt open for most of Jurassic Park was a good way to deal with what could otherwise have resulted in an inferiority complex.
Not to worry, Jeff.
Nature, uh, finds a way. (Into your pants.)

Coen Brothers
Coen Brothers
Two for one deal. That is, the two of them for the one me.
Guys want blonde twins who split their hours Hooters and the Dallas Cowboys.
I want these two.
Yes. Please.





Perhaps I'm projecting the wrong image here.
Raw sexuality and unbridled genius are not the only admirable qualities in a fella'.
I'd be happy to light the menorah with any of these gentlemen.
Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill
Because funny is sexy.

Seth Rogen
Seth Rogen in particular, though.
Even with the weight loss, he is my schlubbly, curly-haired dreamboat.
I could take him home to mother and we could smoke up to make said meeting bearable.
Perfect combination of adorable, funny, with the possibility of being an asshole from time to time.


To finish us off...
Lenny Kravitz
Only half Jewish, but only half-dressed as well.
Thank you, Lenny.

Oh, and you too, Baby Jesus.
Baby Jesus
