MOOP!

Some cooking notes from the last several days:

Nachos:
Lettuce should not go in the microwave. Chips should not go in the microwave for longer than *maybe* thirty seconds, and probably better cap it at fifteen. Seriously, about the only thing to go in the microwave is the meat if you have some, the salsa, and the cheese.

(Future order to try: Meat, salsa, until warm, add chips and cheese, give 'er fifteen more seconds *then* add lettuce and sour cream and devour. Will probably taste better.)

Also, if the only salsa in the fridge is medium, but you *have* mild in the pantry, you are allowed to open the mild, you know. It will taste better all around.

Milk goes really well with nachos, keep up the good work.

French Toast:
Do not undercook! Seriously, undercooked french toast tastes *nasty!*

Look, use the good little t-fal frying pan. Cook one handed --don't even bother with a spatula. When the toast stops sticking to the pan, it's ready to flip/done. It's brilliantly easy, mmkay?

Flipping french toast is really easy and makes me feel impressive.

CRACKING EGGS ON THE COUNTER INSTEAD OF THE SIDE OF THE BOWL IS SO AWESOME YOU GUYS!

Pasta:
Hon, if you're the one making the pasta, you get to pick what goes in the sauce, yes, even if you're outvoted two to one.

That being said, mushrooms are probably much better as part of the sauce then as a garnish. Just saying. Maybe try again tomorrow? Ignore the haters who don't want delicious fungus in their sauce. It's good for them.

Waffles:
The waffle iron is not non-stick you [badwords¹]. Next time, use the pam, and we'll see how it goes from there.

Pancakes:
Again, if you're using the tiny t-fal god, go ahead and just assume that the pancake is cooked when it stop sticking to the pan. I didn't actually get to nom on any of these pancakes, so I don't know how they turned out, or have any other advice.

General:
You are kindof a whore for that little frying pan aren't you? Not that I really blame you --it works like a dream, especially for breakfast foods, but still. Huh.

Chris's law of cleaning continues to work like a dream. If you clean the dishes while they're still hot, you don't even have to scrub. It's brilliant.

1: "dumb cunt" technically. Why my brain thinks it can get away with that sort of misogynistic bullshit is beyond me, but there we go. I've given it a proper talking to, don't you worry.

Oh, bytheway, at some point, I am going to get victoriana to help me write a movie. It will be called "Sassypants the Hippo will Fuck You Up!"

Hippos are scary mofos.

MOOP!

Woo!

Soyeah, it's my first day of classes for the new semester! So far I have taken Italian, which has a very Italian teacher ohmygod (her accent is...not my thing, but still kinda awesome) and eaten lunch. It's been a productive day.

On the plus side of everything, I think I may actually be getting at least one meal into me at least three days a week because there is a lovely hour long break between Italian and Calc (YAY CALC YAY CALC YAY CALC!) which should be spent entirely on the main campus where the food is. So yayfood.

And presumably, I can arrange to grab things to eat the other two days of the week as well. So this is a good arrangement, despite having all my classes on campus this semester rather than at Porter Exchange.

There was something else I wanted to say, but I don't know what. Um. Yaymoney? Oh, cage matches! Right, cage matches. *is notetoself*. Also, thing.

Damnit, I took my focusmeds today! (For the first time in over a month) I should not be this scattered! Ah well. I think it's time for me to go to class now. Ta!

(Yes, I know boring entry is boring. You can scroll past it, if you read this first. :D)

Hum. Apparently, wearing dangly earring(s) achieves the same visual effect of putting my hair up in a bun, it makes my neck look longer, and gives me (to my eye, at least) a more femme look.

*makes a mental note to study Magus next time she sees him with his hair both down and up and see if it does the same thing to him*

Also, NTS: Clearing out the cache and history is probably good for my computer ocassionally, however, I need to remember that that's going to wipe out the autofill in my URL bar. Which isn't bad, per se, it just means that I need to remember things like "http://livejournal.com/update.bml" instead of being able to type in "liv" and hitting the down arrow three times.

Or I can just reach pages the old fashioned way. Yeah, that's likely.

P.S: Currently on skip 100 entries. Wooo, almost there!!

Dear Self:

Drinking contests of any sort are a bad idea. Yes, even if you're drinking something non-alcholic. Especially if you're drinking a slushie, which is frickall cold, and has a weird texture.

On a similar note, if you eatdrink too much sugar during lunch, it's liable to have the same effect on you as when you drink a big ol glass of coffee in the morning right after taking your meds.

(((On an unrelated note, you need to refill your meds)))

On a similar note, although the slushies are very green and very tasty, don't ever do that to yourself again. They're expensive, and that much sugar is bad for you.

Much love

P.S: You owe Tommy a buck 25. You owe the world YouTube footage of Sorcy and her friends being idiots.

It's times like this when I've got a trainwreck of a room to clean, and I speant four hours on one stupid assignment that I was an idiot and didn't do over break when I had time and I had to skip kung-fu, and Aly's been bitchy, and I'm CLEARLY PMSing, and I've got so much shit to do for English, and that's not even counting the huge project I've got and I've had to skirmish with Her now TWICE today, and my brain is quietly imploding, and I haven't read my webcomics since Sunday, and I shouldn't even be posting this, and all I want is to SCREAM!...

Dear world. Fuck off. Love Kat.

P.S: No, I'm not going to jump off a bridge or cut myself or take up smoking or do something similarily stupid. Stop worrying.

So, yesterday was a lot of fun, and pretty much all really spectacular, except for pissing Veronica off. I'm sorry dear, I didn't mean to yell at you. >.<

Woke up far too early in order to harass Flinx. This time, Aly came along with me. The three of us wound up playing a brilliant game of 1KBWC. The last card played (by me, of course) goes as follows:

"Hurts my head like math"
Take all cards with a number on them and remove them from the game.

This was....all but maybe a dozen cards. It rocked. Aly won though, she had the Z card-you get x + y points. Wench.

After that was malling. I got to get in a LOVELY bit of conversation with Flinx, and learned that he's still a Rocky Horror virgin! Mea nd Jaimee have decided that we need to fix that.

Bought some earings at claires. I now have a gift card with a total balance of $0.02. Gnarr.

Went home and cleaned, and sulked, and yelled at people for being argumentive (I can't stand it...I really can't. I love my sibling both dearly, but the second you assign the two of them to do the same chore...Grr!!)

Then Spyro, which I have been playing. I'm properly anal about it-I have 100% on every level I've done. This included doing that first flying level something like four dozen times until I could get everything...I was so proud when I made it, too.

I really really like Spyro. It is exactly my kind of game, what with the things to puzzle out, and the set goal- you know when you can get 100%, and it tells you how many gems or dragons there are in a level. And it's *fun*

And puzzling things out? That rocks. I feel proud when I figure the hard ones out, like that stupid jump twisty glide you had to do. Aig. That took forever.

Babysitting...Koob was a doll, as usual. He had an INCREDIBLE amount of energy, more then usual. I wound up outside with him for a LOT of swinging for nearly an hour. I finally just dragged him up and let him run around on the porch for a while since I just couldn't chase him anymore. Video, and then he CRASHED! It was really cute. I love the little monkey.

And DUDE! I can't remember if I babbled about it in here or not, but I got to hold a skull! A real one, from a human!! It was SO NEAT!

Her name is Glynda, and she is ednoria's. She's AWESOME.

From babysitting, to the bar, and assorted other important chats, such as with Thorog or with the Master of Bad Timing. I have something like four pictures to draw for dares, since everyone kept calling on me. I must be popular or something. :p So you lot will be seeing another art update fairly soon, methinks.

Including embaressing pictures of me! Yay for those!! I think I need to do one of my pretty pretty ballarina ones, although mom stumbled across a fairy princess picture of me. Really, embaressing pics of me aren't that hard to find. I was the first child, so mom took a TON of pictures, and I was SUCH a girly-girl, so theres a lot of pink and dresses and barbie pictures of me. Greeeeeeat.

I think I've run out of things to talk about.

Well, ok, no I haven't. But it's none of your buisness, so nyah.

That is all.
