| Sushi |
[Jul. 9th, 2005|10:15 am] |
I have had sushi once prior to last night and I was noy impressed. Last night I gave it another go and I even managed to use chopsticks. The sushi last night was very delightful. I am a fan of what they called a philly roll. It was avacado, cream cheese, and asperagus inside, salmon outside. I had that because the I figured I liked all the ingredients and I am partial to lox so the salmon could not be too different right. I think the biggest realization last night was I don't like wasabi. I figured this out by eating some of the variety plate that I also ordered. I was fine if I removed the fish and ate it alone. Next time, no wasabi.
The chopsticks is another story. I have never been able to manipulate those to small stick of wood without making a fool of myself. I usually just spear the food and give up and use a fork. Well I carefully placed pine to rice and was able to lift those succulent morsels to my eager mouth. I was soon dipping them in soy and eating like a real pro, yeah right, we will settle with the fact that I was eating.
The idea was put in my head to give it another go after working at the anime expo. I was on the workshops staff and one of our presenters was Caddy who is a sushi chef and whose presentation was wonderful, I only wish we could have offered samples but alas health codes prevented it.
Will I eat sushi again, yes. I will use the philly roll as a standby and expand from there. I like shrimp and crab and I saw some on the menu. |

 | You scored as Demon. Demon: Darkness is your sanctuary. Demons are many and are all different in appearence and rank. The most common are the ones that feed off of human souls. They love to make someone fall into their inner darkness. Blood, wrath, murder... You name it they love it. These beings don't care who you are, if they set their sights on you, let's just hope you know a good excorist. They kill any love within you and pull you toward their side. By any means possible. You wish for chaos and hate, you are the Demon.

| What Spooks You? |
[Apr. 25th, 2005|11:12 pm] |
A friend posted a question: What spooks you? Below was my response.
Night of the Demons bothered me because of the transformation scenes, watching the teeth push there way out was just really bothersome.
Pink Floyd's the wall disturbs me on some level that I can not come to grips with. I can not watch the movie to completion.
Poltergiest bothered me with the exploding meat.
I think the most spooky scenes are scenes where a person has to bring damage to themselves for whatever reason. The picking at their face until it bleeds. I don't think I could watch the movie Saw. In fact i have no desire to see it after I saw a brief clip. My mind wraps around the idea too easily, I am near to shaking now. I would make a terrible cutter.
I might have dreamed the clip and inserted the name. I think I have spookier dreams than they make movies. Vivid images of black semis equiped with scything blades that rend bystanders.
Gotta stop, I feel cold and a bit queesy. Imagination too vivid, too clear.
That was my post but I think I left out Caligula. There were many scens in that movie that worked me over on a level few other movies do. I think the scything blades that removed the heads of his enemy was the worst. There is that word again. Come to think of it, DeVinci's drawings of a weapon that has scything blades bothers me as well. perhaps it is a fear of loosing a limb or being cut apart that really freaks me out. Ok I gotta stop this. Later. |

The Pirates of the Caribbean: A swashbuckling
adventure! Yo ho, a pirates life is indeed for
you, seeing as you are the classic Disney dark
ride that presents a time when New Orleans was
under attack from a band of treasure loving
bandits. You have a bit of an edge, and an
element of danger, and you can scare the
youngins, but for the most part you mean no
serious harm. You are youthful at heart,
strong and energetic, with a taste for the good
life, if not hard work. You have romantic
notions about the adventurous life on the sea
with no rules and no responsibilities except to
your ship, but you also weary and worrisome of
the fate that eventually gets all those who
those who live life on the lamb, stealing gold
for greed and burning down cities for your own
delight. You are what you are, and you're out
to enjoy the glamour of your wild days while
they last! Despite your rough surface, the
people know you have heart and they will always
come back.

Ultimate Gamer!!
GM says drop 2d10, aanndd... you roll 79% ! |
What, are you a first generation gamer? Did you own the brown box?!
Whatever you do in your spare time, gaming seems to be your job. Either
you looked up the answers or you're the best of the best, the type that
makes other gamers strive to know more. Just don't let the knowledge
overwhelm the newbies, it tends to push them from the hobby.
We all bow before you. You are the living nat 20, congradulations. I'm
going to flee the scene now ;) |  |

[Mar. 9th, 2005|12:47 pm] |
It is the subtles differences that remind us we are in a foreign and unfriendly land. The plant between the two sinks, Both urinals set at the lower level, the clear soap that smells or pineapple. These let us know we are unwelcome.
A pipe broke providing our building with water so we must trek to the restrooms two buildings away. It is almost identical save for the above.
Mt Dew is always the first beverage we run out of and yet it is afforded no more space than any other. Like some socialist plot to allow equal access to all sodas even when one soda is more popular. From every soda according to its ability to every drinker according to their thirst does not work. |

| Worn Out (Completely) |
[Feb. 7th, 2005|01:51 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  tired | ] |
I called in sick today, to both school and work.
This weekend threw me for a loop.
Went to Mouseschwitz on Saturday and ate at Club 33. If you have the means to do this and the oppurtunity to make it happen I highly reccomend it. I understand why quility food costs so much. The gave us an hors'derv that was blue cheese mouse on a cracker with a vinegrette. I ordered an appetizer that was three wonderul morsels of beef preparred in different manners and I only think one of them had seen fire. Fot my entree I ordered venisson with a chocolate sauce that I am torn as to whether its consumption was a sin or if similar foods adorn the table of the heavenly host. I am leaning toards the later. For dessert (and dessert is a must)it was a shared portion of pumpkin creme brule' (Mei stop cringing from the spelling atrocities I must have committed)
Superbowl Sunday was a the oppossite. BBQ chickien that I am questioning how well cooked it had been was accompanied by Chips and Dip, and a whole lot of Mt Dew and about five hours in a hot tub.
I am sure I am not the first to dine on fine food one day followed by very base fair the next but somewhere along the weekend my body has decided enough is enough. I awoke with a stuffy nose and body aches from stem to stern (sorry history channell has been running shows about battleships, yachts and destroyers all day). I am wiped out, I have felt worse but never with out some great physical act, a tracable ailment, or the consumption of copiuos amounts of alchohol (yeah, not a drop either day).
The one injury I can trace is a small cut on the tip of my right big toe. It was placed in non delicate fashion by a person in the hot tub who was apparently tickled or suprised and she kicked out and placed the small incession in my toe with her own. I think perhaps there might have been a toxin contained there in and it was meerely a ploy to do me in. If an attempt on my life it was then I am fairing better then I should be and I will be cautious in the future and leary of any other hot tub excurrsions. |

You are a MASTER of the English language!
Huzzah. While your English is not exactly
perfect, you are still more grammatically
correct than just about every American. Others
admire the way you speak and could learn a lot
from listening to you. Still, there is always
room for improvement...

| Days of youth remembered |
[Jan. 10th, 2005|08:56 pm] |
Yesterday I saw three girls, preteen to early teens. They walked with a board shaped like a large skate board and they were trying to ride it down the gutter. They climbed the fence to the school yard where the crows play their song and dance during happier weather. The school yard was ponds and mud puddles and I watched as they jumped and played. There clothes and hair were soaked and you could see smiles adorn there faces. I remembered walking to school through that same field and splashing through those very puddles, spending recesses under the eaves awaiting the watchful eyes of wardens with whistled to stray down the line so a break could be made and glory could be given to Poseidon or Thor, Enlil or Neptune until such a time as shrill siren calls me back under the protection of the steel plaster and wood.
There are times when I sit and look out my window and I remember the days of my youth. They are not the sunny fair weathered days that bring these thoughts. They are days of rain and days wind, they are fog filled mornings and nights filled with the echoeing calls of the bats by night and the cawing of crows by day. |

| Urinals |
[Dec. 5th, 2004|11:44 pm] |
So, while watching family guy, they need urinals that have city skylines along the back. The way a guy can pee on a building and would lok forward to going to the bathroom. They could make a whole series based on great tourist cities around the world. A guy could pee on red square and time square, he could choose between the Eiffel Tower or the Arch d' Triumph, heck if you hold it you could give each a good splashing.
I think I have something here... |

| What Do Ducks Eat? |
[Nov. 17th, 2004|07:10 pm] |

| |  contemplative | ] |
| [ | music |
| | Nothing can pierce the screams in my head. | ] |
It just occured to me that in my 34 years on this planet I have not established a concrete fact about what Dducks eat. I have kived in a city for most of this time that has ducks but for the life of my i am only certain of a few things that fall with in their diet.
Bread: this seems to be the staple of a ducks diet which is odd considering it occurs very rarely in the wilds and most bread is produced as a by product of keeping the people at Webers bakeries employed. It is also often the by product of time spent in the kitchen by Sarah but I have never witnessed a duck being treated to the wonders of her bread but I digress. As a staple of their diet fate has played a cruel trick on ducks for it seems that most of their foraging for bread is tied to their swimming as fast as they can to the discarded lumps humans carelessly cast into what ever body of water suits them. Perhaps this was evolutions way of coping with excess bread in our ponds and smaller lakes. How much bread would have accumulated had the ducks not been there to feast upon opur cast off bread? Of course it is not just ducks but also geese and mud hens that fill the role of ridders of lake bread.
Pop Corn: While working at the theater when I was 18 a co worker lured a duck into the theater lobby with who knows what kind of neferious plan in mind. It was then that we discovered something about these bread eaters. Some will also eat popcorn and this duck wandered around the lobby eating each yellow burst of dried corn it could find. Not to be out done my friend cleaned up what the duck left behind, but I do not think he was as happy about that as the duck was about the popcorn... Though he did have to sweep less of the floor thanks to the duck. |
