70's story telling is oddly compelling in an excruciatingly boring sort of way. Why am i watching The Man Who Fell to Earth? I'm pretty sure this is the sort of movie my parents would have taken me to. Something difficult to watch with vaguely awkward sex scenes and something interesting presented in an intensely slow and boring way. Also what the fuck is with the random whale song? The special effects are good, the shooting style is horrid. The sound effects are obnoxious. The movie's pace is something like glass. Oh good we're getting artistic with amoebas and bowie sex scenes. argh. ahh, abrasive aesthetics. Ugh hand held shots. What good is using rocket sounds with a motor boat? This kind of movie makes me want to gauge out my eyes. I think it's going to get a two star rating. Banjo music? I mean it's pretty good banjo music but why? Bowie looks like an albino with red hair, I'm not sure why this is cured in the labyrinth, maybe he had eaten by the 80s. |

I made ebelskiver! with goat cheese dill and chives. I split it in thirds which is a pain in the ass especially accounting for the 1/3 of two eggs separated.
so swiss and mushrooms might be good.
roasted red pepper and maybe caramelized onions?
dill pickle and something perhaps... dill pickle strong cheese and potato?
I guess it makes the most sense to prep the different fillings first and then make a batch of batter as big as you can justify I like a small metal kabob stick for moving the ebelskiver but my mom's pan is cast iron not non-stick
Then a chopstick for flipping it.
reading all-pro not a lot of game yet and while I guess that would get monotonous it kind of makes all-pro start a little slow.
goat cheese and gorey alien football
Oh and Teatree ice cream from penn state creamery- color: Pepto-Bismol Pink
flavor: a gentle mint blended with a gentle cinnamon for a distinctly particular flavor of chewing gum.
It's stunning and amusing. I highly recommend it for accompaniment of a castle cake and a barbie themed birthday party |

zombie invasion first person shooter dream with a severe lack of ammunition. Definitely other nonzombies and they had guns and were fighting. But I seemed to have to use my bayonet quickly and was not relieved by walking over amo.
zombie blood was red in my dream. I'm pretty sure of that. |

I'm enjoying a universal memory format today. Checking out what uses SD or SDHC cards in my life. My li'l old blue digital camera (8.2 MP), My cowon mp3 player, My Nintendo DSi, my personal sound track shirt, and both my netbook and my laptop, Oh and a card reader for back-up/non standard formats like compact flash. The tv accepts sd cards too.
So my sound track shirt came with a 125mb sd card- plenty because the longer the sound bites are the more annoying they are - plus with an aux in cable I can play my mp3 player through the shirt.
My camera came with a 1gb card which is now in my dsi because until I decide to put more mp4s no m4as on the card I probably won't be tempted to use the dsi as the m4a player it can be.
My 32 gb cowon can be supplemented with sd cards full of files, making it's effective size much larger- as well as making it easier to add files without the usb/firewire cable. The cowon takes a ridiculous number of formats, flac, mp3, ogg, without that being the end of the formats- as well as txt, avi (specific formatting required) and jpg. oh it must play wma because it records in that format.
The sound track shirt plays mp3s.
I suppose that leaves me asking why my camera can't play any sound files.
I should grab a keychain with a hooking thing to carry a battery of sd cards currently I can carry 4 extra although I only have one extra. I guess when cybernetics come out I should get an sd read/writer installed. |

I made mushroom soup by accident! I was going to make sauteed shrooms and onions but I added some bread crumbs(fine) and spices (cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper). Of course the crumbs were sticking so I added water and then I added too much water. So I was boiling it down and when it got to about a bowl full I realized it was a broth with mushrooms and onions. Soup. Huh. Pretty good too. |

adventures in food:
Crispy Kale from jacques pepin 250F 20-25 min
Apple Maple Topping - jacques pepin- forgot to peel the apple. mom drank the apple juice I was going to use- substituted a bit of mango juice some water and a few drips of lemon juice.
Decided I try making a bread pudding-ish thing --> stale bagget pour milk over, microwave- add topping w/ a bit of the topping liquid microwave- half passable bread pudding type thing- not perfect and I would microwave the bread longer (than 45 seconds followed by about 10) and I might use heavy cream or whole milk instead of whatever was lying around. and I might add some sugar before the topping - but other than that it was a pretty good bit of panicked cooking. |
