I rinsed brown rice, blotted carelessly, threw it in the hot air popcorn popper, and made my own roasted rice tea! You steep it like a tisane, and it's a good substitute for when you're hankering for a coffee. Koreans drink it A LOT, like roast barley tea or roast corn tea. Delicious stuff, the home roasted had a deeper more intense flavor. Very ( Read more... )

I just love David Lebovitz, my favorite male food porn star. He has a very sassy side he lets loose once in awhile, but you have to be a long time reader to catch it. It's a fucking nuclear winter out there, so dim and dreary you can't imagine. Okay, here, try: Imagine any damp grey afternoon, than turn off the sun, and turn on a ugly florescent ( Read more... )

Tee hee hee!

If you type in "do a barrel roll" on google today, the page will do a barrel roll!

This is the usefulness of reedit.com, useless information really, but it connects you with the playful side of humans.

And pics of animals being extremely cute or interesting:

Cleaning out my studio room is exhausting. Not physically, but mentally. I'm doing a good job, and throwing away things i'd like to keep, but haven't used in years. I've come in here to figure out what to do with my gorilla rack, taking a breather. I may take a quick walk to the japanese bookstore before they close just to get the F out of here.

Great song (made top ten at billboards or something), and fun exuberant performance. Great catchy tune, but it's about teenage shooting! Adorable lead singer, my granny panty dropped. Crystal clear internet video, wow. 25 year olds (*ahem* wink wink uh huh yep) having fun. I felt badly, these kids have it shitty because there are no jobs for them, ( Read more... )

I really like this little lesson on creativity. I wish someone had told me this early on in my creative career, and I believed them, I might not have given up on my art. No, actually, I knew, but didn't have the financial wherewithal to spend the time I needed. But it's never too late, and I really want to make things to please myself, please ( Read more... )

Lots of things falling through (cheap white toyota car), lots of things on the burner (i'd really like to take classes on computer forensics), getting over the weird WEIRD flu that was just pure ugly fatigue, and today I went back to running after a week off. The kind of tiredness the jogging causes is astounding. Ive never felt that intensity of ( Read more... )

K, I ate, I had pho because it's low in fat. I bought pork chops and oxtail for dinner, i'm going to make the oxtail soup for tomorrow. I couldn't find grits! It has to be made with hominy corn, not just plain corn, and it can't be instant ( Read more... )

Okay, put on my running pants, and a sports bra tank first thing after I woke up. Psyching myself to go for a run/walk to the waterfront. Still haven't gone yet. Okay ( Read more... )

Looking for knitting patterns for a fall project. My pet peeve, grown up women's clothing that look like it's for children. These patterns are for SALE?! Wow, do I hate this look, the whole women dressing like toddlers. When they dress like hip toddlers, it's even worse. Like, a peter pan collar shirt, with cute short pleated skirt, hip patterned ( Read more... )
