battlestar galactica

22 chocolate creme-filled cookies, crushed
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 quart coffee ice cream, softened
1 quart fudgy chocolate ice cream, softened
2 tablespoons coffee liquor
2 tablespoons brandy (optional)
2 tablespoons instant cofee

Crush 22 chocolate creme-filled cookies partially, then pulverize in food processor until it's fine crumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and mix until it comes together. Press mixture into a 9-inch pie plate (I recommend using a deep dish pie plate).

Mix together the rest of the ingredients, making sure that the instant coffee crystals completely dissolve. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and freeze.

I was at work for a whole 3 hours today, 1/2 an hour of which was lunch.

I have a cold and could not stop sneezing/dripping snot/crying/rubbing my face to stop all three. It was both really disgusting but pretty funny as well.

so, this will come as no surprise to anyone who either knows me or the best american comics series, but I decided a little while ago to step away from the series after this next book gets done (so, like, the book that'll come out in a year and a half won't have my name in it). entirely coincidentally, this decision happened right around the same time as i was watching the early episodes of battlestar galactica season 2.5 and really becoming concerned about the cylon situation.

now, in late august of 2006, i did an interview with Jonathan Messinger at TIME OUT CHICAGO
(http://www.timeout.com/chicago/Details.do?page=1&xyurl=xyl://TOCWebArtic...) which finished with me saying, "When I’m done with Best American Comics, in however many years . . . I’ll be like, ‘I have to deal with these cyborg issues!’ ”
