oh

as I go through my day, I usually get a few 'oh I should blog about this' moments. Unfortunately...by the time I usually get to a computer, its too late. It kinda sucks. I guess I'll start off with a 'this is what happened today' blog and see where it goes from there. Ash is here for a few days...I enjoy having her around, its a lot more fun cooking for a few like-minded people then just kind of cooking for yourself...it was chicken wings and pizza last night, I have a random talent for making good sauces. So those were good..the pizza was a little challenging, I think I put too much topping per capita, so the crust kind of got overly brown and the toppings were still not cooked..I solved the problem by putting aluminum foil over the crust and letting the toppings cook a while longer, it was a real pain in the bum though. Ummm today we went to breakfast at a diner a few doors down from the apartment...it was alright, nothing special though. I got my usual...eggs potatoes and toast..it had the potential to be very delicious, except the potatoes were cold-ish..otherwise it was fine. Ash got pancakes, and she went on the record as reporting them as 'rubbery' much like collagen. ew. They probably stirred the batter too much, that is a common mistake amongst pancake makers. Just stir it until everything is wet and LEAVE IT ALONE. jerks. Anyways, it wasn't as good as the place I went with kevin on my birthday, it was called helen's kitchen (which I shall forever refer to as 'hell's kitchen'...) it was really good. We got a few dishes and shared them..namely chocolate chip pancakes, french toast, and chicken souvlaki breakfast (every diner around here has souvlaki for an entree, lots of greek people around I guess) anyways their food was fricken awesome! I really liked that place. Its just a little too out of the way to go to exclusively for breakfast..although there is a target up that way, probably a bed bath and beyond as well..I'm foreshadowing though! Anyways we did breakfast then went to target looking for a hair styling thingie. I usually just get up too late to do anything with my hair, but it really looks good if I put the time into making it look good, so I bought a ceramic hair styler thing...it worked, my hair looks really good today. Too bad I only see the same 7 or 8 people in the computer lab. So anyways after target we went to bed bath and beyond 'cuz ash had a credit left over from an xmas return..she was going to get a rice cooker, but then we walked by the 'clearance' rack we spotted unbelievable deals! She found a nice tea kettle for half off because the box was torn..I found a crock pot for half off for the same reason. What a deal! Heh. So now I have a crock pot, and she has a tea kettle. I was excited. We're having vegetarian chili for dinner, its home crock-potting as I sit here typing. It came with a book of about 100 recipes, which I enjoy greatly. Anyways, just sitting here for my shift rotting. If it wasn't for pandora and addictinggames.com I would have shriveled away to a shell of my former interesting self. Speaking of shriveling, I haven't had the gumption to work out for the past few weeks, and I started again yesterday..holy out of shape batman! You don't realize how much not working out makes you a weakling until you get back into it. I'm gonna make a more conscious effort to keep up with it this time..no slacking off yo. OK anyways I have to do the DAC case. thanks for reading. I dont have any way of seeing if people are reading this blog, so I post on good faith that my readers will migrate over here. If not, thats ok. I blog for my own sanity first and foremost, and if anybody else gets anything out of it, then great.
