Yarr, so I haven't posted in months, I know. 'Tis awful of me, just awful, but I still be here! I admire all of ye landlubbers who keep up with it. Regrettably, I can't say that I'm really ready to get back in the habit yet, but since it's Talk Like A Pirate Day, I figured I would commemorate th' occasion by reposting my entry from a year ago. I ( Read more... )

Damn my eyes! Some days, I swear, it's as though I deliberately set out to overload my brain.  Watching Firefly while staring at food porn is too much for any reasonable person to handle.  I've decided.  When I grow up, I wanna be a space cowboy zippin' 'round the 'verse making cupcakes! With dragées!

Failing that, I would settle for a summer ( Read more... )

The saying calls for "spilt milk", but in my case, I think I'm going to substitute "spoiled milk". Admittedly, I'm not the most fastidious of cooks.  I've picked up and cooked with things I've dropped on the floor by accident and used eggs that were days, even weeks past the "expiration date" (haven't died yet!), but I'm usually pretty wary about ( Read more... )

So I made a very satisfying discovery in my kitchen earlier. Tucked away at the bottom of my dry foods drawer were these neat, little packages with Japanese writing all over them. Dried miso soup! I'd forgotten all about them, but with great delight, I emptied one into a mug and added hot water. In an instant, this dusty little brown cake was ( Read more... )

Rather than apologizing once more for not posting, I figure it's about time I sit down and actually write something of interest for all you poor souls who actually watch this space. Writer's block is a bitch, but I'm prepared to fight dirty. Ahem, so without further adieu, let me share with you some things that've been turning around and around ( Read more... )

So The Boyfriend left for some kind of advanced summer program on Sunday and won't be back for about a month.  I'm very happy for him, since it means he'll have a chance to display his glorious brilliance in a whole different state for awhile, but it's my birthday tomorrow, so his timing sucks.  Bleh.  That said, he did take me out for a lovely ( Read more... )

So I'm now a university graduate. Go me.

Feels rather anticlimactic, honestly, and that's not just because of my lackluster punctuation.  I've now reached the stage of my life where I'm expected to make something of the massive potential that's been bubbling out of me since day one.  Unfortunately, I have no idea what.  It seems that B.A.'s in ( Read more... )

Okay, so I know I haven't posted in awhile, and I promised fingers to those who cared to claim them.  In my defense, school's been busy as hell, it's finals time, and I'm graduating this week.  Yeah, that's right, graduating.  I'm actually going to have my delightfully practical B.A. in English.  I'd tell all the naysayers to quit their jeering, ( Read more... )

So for those of you who may not be aware, The Boyfriend is a consumate a cappella nerd.  He's a member of two groups, music manager for one, and constantly singing as a consequence.  Since I'm not a singer, refuse to be a groupie, and don't really want to be an a cappella widow, I've done the next best thing and become the unofficial member of his ( Read more... )
