mmm

Tonight I made blueberry muffins from scratch. Fresh blueberries and everything. They turned out pretty well except they stuck to the paper cups a bit.

quick question

What does a person do in life that allows them to protest Planned Parenthood on a Monday morning?

When do they work? Maybe I want their job.

home now

i felt bad so i left work early and took a bus i'd never taken before so i could get to my car, which i had luckily parked at a different park and ride than usual so that i could at least get to it, and was on the bus for over an hour AND THEN it turns out it went to the other anderson park and ride and not the one my car was at but luckily the bus driver took pity on my poor sick soul, called in, and got permission to drive me back there.

I hate Cena

I cooked a lot today.

Heather came up around 1:00 for an early birthday lunch for her. I made homemade biscuits, sausage and sausage gravy, and scrambled eggs. We also had some elderberry jam and orange blossom honey with the biscuits.

The Royal Rumble was tonight so Greg, Josh, and Mike came over to watch it with us on the new tv in HD. This meant the cooking of more food. There were chicken tenders in spicy garlic sauce with blue cheese and ranch, homemade stuffed potato skins (those things take forever to make), and turtle brownies.

The heat on the bus worked today

...as opposed to yesterday when it did not.

berry sad

It would be nice if I didn't have work the rest of the week...or my life...

Slept in a bit this morning so the day was nice for a bit. Then I ended up sick. I blame the berries I had for breakfast...so no more berries for me for a while--be nice and hope the store has some nice looking bananas for me sometime soon. Every time I go they are green-green and I don't have patience for that--I want my banana now! I need to start making my own smoothies.

I want dessert.

aquarium

Yesterday included a visit from Becky. We (this includes Andy) ate at Red Robin and then made our way to the Newport Aquarium. It was my first trip there--the octopus was awesome. Becky took lots of photos that she promises to put online soon. Unlike Becky and Andy I took advantage of the chance to touch the sharks. They feel like a thick shower curtain--smooth and waterproof yet kind of rough.

After picking up some slices of cookie cake, drink ingredients, and snacks we headed back to the apartment for some movie watching. Becky helped in starting the assembly of my lego batmobile...that thing will take forever. Samus got shut in the bathroom for a bit as she was playing/attempting to eat the pieces.

Becky left this morning so now things are back to normal. At least I have tomorrow off.

Update: lighter found and is working fine as a match alternative.

Disappointed that I won't be forced into trying this method come sunrise. Chocolate really is one of the best things ever.

"If I see a hot chick go outside for a smoke, you know, maybe I go out for a smoke, too," he says. "Out there, she's isolated and there's an opportunity to talk to her without her friends around."

from this

Note: I can't find my matches and want to burn some incense.

I get to see Becky soon!

Anderson: Here's one for you. How do you perceive our relationship?
Duchovny: It's like the roots of a tree. It's very twisted, but it's growing. You know the tree is alive, and it works in its own treelike way, yet you couldn't untangle it. You could, but you'd need the help of a gifted professional.

this interview

I took the tree down.

We'll see how this goes...
