I told Greg that for Valentine's Day when I get back from California, he should show me how to shoot a gun. Best V-day ever!

Yay, I finished knitting, sewing, and blocking Greg's Christmas sweater this past Saturday! Well, thankfully Greg is traveling around the southern states for the holidays that I was able to get the extra two week extension on the sweater. It's brown and super soft but oh so comfy. It's going to fit him well so now it's official now that I've ( Read more... )

I'm an overgrown child eagerly awaiting the moment in which I do all of the following: open up and play my PS3, get Folklore in the mail (*squee*), see my sister's expression when she sees her awesome Sherlock Holmes-ish pocket watch that my brother and I got her for X-Mas, see Guy Ritchie's ultra awesome Sherlock Holmes movie with said-sister, ( Read more... )

I felt like after a long day at work I could do some cooking for myself from scratch rather than have leftovers. I ended up digging around online and found Alton Brown's Tuna Croquette recipe on the Food Network website.
So tonight I made tuna croquettes from scratch in the kitchen but with a few minor changes to the recipe since I was missing a ( Read more... )

The past week's blizzard has not only been awesome but also productive in a non-productive way. Work was canceled Wednesday given the weather was just amazingly epic. I spent the whole morning playing Persona 4 and beating it along with finally finishing Magic Knights Rayearth on dvd while I knit Greg's sweater. Finishing the anime series was ( Read more... )

Our little pup, Kirby, has his test next Friday as the end of his puppy training class before we have him begin intermediate training. We've all started different tactics to get Kirby to "cram" before his big test. It mostly involves upping his treats. Jason has started to use a different puppy treat brand in the hopes that Kirby will think it's ( Read more... )

I've been reading through Geist: the Sin Eaters. It's a bit of a fat-splat of a World of Darkness book released in October-ish much like Promethean or Hunter but not as huge as Vampire, Mage, or Werewolf. Overall I *like* the ideas in Geist for a story but I just...can't...get...past all the god damn spelling errors and messed up sentence ( Read more... )

I'm up to the last chapter of Resident Evil 5 after having it for a two-night rental. There were a lot of things different with this installment of Resident Evil than with the previous games. Some were good like the improved handling of movement and the action itself but others not so good like the fact that my right hand is almost numb from the ( Read more... )

Oh dear Lady Gaga, she has achieved a level of weirdness that intrigues me enough to download her music. I realize there is something inherently bad about this song and yet I'm curious where the rest of her album is going to go and who is the strange alien that directs her music videos.

Hmmm...after the unusual Ultimate Lady's Macaroni and Cheese, I decided to experiment with my own macaroni and cheese recipe sans Southern brick of mac'n'cheese.  Mostly I sorta wanted to eat a macaroni and cheese dish that was creamy.  The previous batch ended up a huge success with the southern boyfriend.  Greg had seconds!  He normally never has ( Read more... )
