mmmm mmm. it's 7:00 pm, i'm sipping a fine glass of wine, and cooking a big pot o' some fabulous soup. i'm quite proud of it actually as i am the big suck when it comes to cooking. but this soup is a thai butternut squash soup that's pretty simple (red curry, coconut milk, butternut squash, tofu, spinach, a few other random bits). i'm currently ( Read more... )

what the fuck uconn!!?? we were supposed to get $150 from you winning the stupid ncaa championship and you go and lose to a #11 seed team!? that's hella lame.

in other, better news, i had some of the best indian food ever last night. my tummy is thanking me.

i just had 2 nights in a row of really amazing shows. belle &sebastian was awesome. can't say enough about how much i love them. they even played a special song they wrote last time they played in portland (which was on 9/11) and sang it again on thursday. they said they haven't sang it since and probably won't sing it again until they come ( Read more... )

belle & sebastian is tonight!!! very very excited ( Read more... )

yay first day of spring! and it is turning out to be a fabulously sunny one. yesterday was nice too so me and sanju took a long walk up to mt. tabor, which is about 35 blocks up the street. then we walked about 2.5 miles around and came back. overall it's not that long i guess but everytime i walk for extended periods of time, my hip hurts (man ( Read more... )

so i've decided that i want to watch the taping of some show while i'm in nyc. i would love to see daily show or the colbert report but i know that's out of the picture. so my possible pick (and i hope evie, sarah, and michelle want to go to) is to see maury povich. how awesome would it be to sit on a 'who's my baby's daddy' or 'makeover for the ( Read more... )

we just did our drafts. i got first pick! lucky me. so my teams are: uconn, illinois, syracuse, texas a&m, california, iona, xavier, monmouth. i wanted oral roberts at the end (god is on their side, right?) but someone else took them. and i had basically no input on this one other than sanju had duke for his first pick but from advice of ( Read more... )

i'm not a big basketball fan. i actually dont like sports in general, but basketball is bearable for me. so me and sanju have joined a pool for the ncaa tournament thingie. it's really all sanju's as i dont know anything about any of the teams. i like to pick schools based on if i like the state. so for example, i wanted kansas to lose, cause ( Read more... )

i finally saw king kong on friday night. i think claire mentioned this as well a while ago, but i swore off animal movies quite a while ago because i ALWAYS cry. dog hurts his paw, i cry. a kitty limps in the rain, i cry. milo and otis, the bear...these movies were traumatizing. i made the exception for king kong though cause i like peter ( Read more... )

crash? wow that's lame. i actively disliked that movie, which is fine as i'm not a movie expert. but i do think i can spot a good movie. i know some people loved it and it's critically acclaimed and what not. i know i'm not the only one that thinks it's nowhere near the best movie of the year. i knew brokeback wouldn't win since the movie ( Read more... )
