As I announced earlier this week, the Ideological Turing Test is starting up again<\/a>. \u00a0(This is the contest where Christians and atheists see how good they are at imitating each other). \u00a0I\u2019ll be asking for feedback on specific questions soon, but right now I\u2019d love feedback on general logistics in the comment thread of the post linked above. \u00a0I think it\u2019s going to be super!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2014 2 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you may have inferred from my choice of words in that last Take, I went to see Avengers <\/em>at midnight. \u00a0But since I\u2019m writing these takes prior to going to the theatre, I don\u2019t have opinions yet on the film, but I do have a picture of my costume (brought to you by the grace of duct tape).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, uh, I didn\u2019t really want to dress up as either of the female characters since they\u2019re both wearing essentially black catsuits. \u00a0I\u2019m dressed up as Janet van Dyne (also known as the Wasp)<\/a>. \u00a0She was a member of the original Avengers in the comic books. \u00a0My costume is mostly duct tape and is modelled on her appearance in some tv spinoff, since the comic book costume is pretty much painted on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2014 3 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

And speaking of delightful cosplaying, that guy who imitated female heroines on bookcovers<\/a> is back for a look at the men<\/a>. \u00a0The pictures are a good deal less ridiculous, but I\u2019m still mighty amused\/sad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2014 4 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to be ready for your next costumed outing (and believe me, they can really sneak up on you), you might like this Modcloth guide to dress vocabulary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When my ASL teacher was going over clothing words with me, she did not expect me to need so many highly-granular terms.<\/p>\n

How do you sign \u2018bias-cut?\u2019<\/p>\n

How do you sign \u2018princess seamed?\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>\u2014 5 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now test your knowledge by seeing if you can correctly categorize the illustrations in the \u201cIf websites were dresses, what would they look like<\/a>\u201d project. \u00a0My favorite illustration is pretty clearly Wikipedia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2014 6 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are few things cool enough to justify pivoting away from a costuming theme for the Quick Takes, but a West Wing<\/em> cast reunion certainly makes the cut. \u00a0I don\u2019t see an embed link at Funny or Die, so go straight to the source<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(I totally wanted to be CJ when I grew up).<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2014 7 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, finally, I\u2019m still keeping up with the anti-gnostic baking project. \u00a0This past week, I made espresso chocolate chip cookies. \u00a0I think I get double credit for these, as I was altering a recipe. \u00a0I used the same dough as for the chive-cheddar scones<\/a> (minus the chive and cheddar, natch) but multiplied all the ingredients by 1.5x. \u00a0Then I added 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa, 2 tablespoons of espresso powder, and one cup of chocolate chips. \u00a0Then I added some more chocolate chips. \u00a0Voila!<\/p>\n
