Methyl Orange Sunshine

I haven't posted here in a while! I still read everybody else's entries, though.

I'm making shrimp etoufée and buttery tray buns. Just so you know.

This year I am mailing out Christmas cards! Please comment with your address if you'd like one! I don't care how well I know you or where you live - getting stuff in the mail is awesome. Comments are screened, so your address will of course remain private.

Oh, Palin!

Why is the American election so much more amusing than ours? :( I read an article in the Calgary Herald the other day about the fashion of Canadian party leaders. Seriously. (Gilles Duceppe, in suspenders? THUMBS DOWN. Jack Layton, in a well-tailored suit and lacking a tie? THUMBS UP I KNOW WHO I AM VOTING FOR)

AGH I WANT TO GO SHOPPING PRETTY DRESSES SKIRTS AGH.

Also, I have been eating crazy healthy like whoah. I haven't even gone to the gelato shop that is literally across the street. Thedailyplate.com is super awesome. I've discovered the greatness of leeks and lemongrass and bamboo steamers. Cannot live without the steamer now. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. YAY YAY YAY YAY.

I am on an anime downloading spree for the first time in years. I think Slayers Revolution triggered it.

I don't like living by myself. :| At least it's only until the 9th.

I'm gonna go eat some oatmeal and an apple now.

I need to get new glasses, or something. Random people keep thinking I'm older than I actually am, and that is lame!

Also, a haircut.

Age of Conan is taking too long to patch. >:|

Flying out on Tuesday WOOO.

Dang I am such a nerd. NERD RAGE AHEAD.

The colours on my two computer displays are different and it is DRIVING ME INSANE. INSANE, I TELL YOU. I toss some Age of Conan screenshot files over to my Mac, and they just look SO MUCH NICER on there and I can't get my PC to show such nice colours ARGH. I'm using the same colour profile on each, but it doesn't really seem to make a difference. In fact, switching profiles on the PC doesn't seem to make a difference at ALL - I think it must be disabled, somehow, perhaps? I wish I knew more about colour syncing in Windows! I'll google it once I get home tonight and am less grumpy. God is currently punishing me for not being pregnant, you see.

In any case, the plans for the move are going ahead smoothly! This is going to be my "Moving Sucks, Get A Cute Teaset" present to myself. The teapot is good, but seriously, look at those cups. Those cups? Amazing, that is what they are.

I am so glad that we're going to be on the ground floor, with only parking garage beneath. Why, you ask? Because we can totally play DDR without being absolutely paranoid that we're making the people below us miserable.

I need to buy shelves. Sean has a massive DVD collection, and together, our games collection is also massive. I NEED to arrange all that, alphabetically, and by system. I'll tear my hair out otherwise.

Oh, jeez, it's going to be so nice. I've been moving every year since the end of high school, and I'm sick of it.

Gyakuten NOT Saiban iiiiissss... ( Collapse )

So, as we're sitting in the car, stationary in the parking lot, admiring our shiny new things from the comic store, there is a thump and the car shudders. Hooray, we have been backed into!

The entire left corner of the bumper is caved in - thankfully there was no damage to the lights. Also thankfully, the guy who bumped into us was very apologetic and cooperative (his young son was there, giggling about the BAD THING his dad had done) so there shouldn't be any trouble fixing it through insurance. And their SUV didn't even have a scratch on the bumper!

But still, blar. Hassle. Blar.

(Also, what did I get from the comic store? Well, a WoW TCG card called "Bling", for one. Haha.)

I think, after this, my poor car deserves some fuzzy dice HOLY HAND GRENADES.

New icons, of my FAVOURITE HOBO.

... I have little else to report. Just beat Apollo Justice tonight. The last case is fantastic!

EDIT: The icons are made of failure, and look horrid on dark backgrounds. I will correct this - IN THE MORNING.

This is the greatest laptop mod ever. Steampunk!

I need new icons.
