Dec. 26th, 2012 02:09 pmSo did everyone have a good Christmas? Hmmmmm? ♥
I spent time with the extended family, which was good. But damn that felt like a long two days. My Christmas started with Midnight Mass (which ended at 2am omg), and then I didn't get much sleep before I had to be awake again so we could go to my cousin's Christmas party. Thankfully, I managed to nap in the car, but I still feel weird and tired. Bleh. The weather isn't helping either.
Now it's time to raid all those tins of fancy Christmas cookies we got as presents.

Apr. 12th, 2012 01:26 pmThanks to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday on Tuesday! ♥ ♥ ♥
Having a birthday that's during the week is always kind of bleh, because you can't really go out and do stuff on a Tuesday. Boo. I had a low-key birthday day, but I still had a pleasant day that made me happy, so that's always good. Maybe this weekend I'll be able to meet up with friends and have lunch or dinner or something. I get free desserts at TGI Friday's and Buffalo Wild Wings. :3
And I found out that the Inland Empire's First Annual Chocolate Festival is being held on April 21st. XDDDDDD! I think I'm going to make that my "birthday" event, even if it's like 2 weeks after my actual bday. It's worth it for chocolate and wine tastings. Yum~
Anyway, the birthday haul... which isn't very much since I don't get presents from anyone in my family, not even my parents. So let's make this Free Stuff (or heavily discounted) I Got For My Birthday instead.
-- Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo Set from Sephora
--free truffle FUCK YOU TOO GODIVA
-- Buy One Get One Free ice cream from Coldstone (I got Birthday Cake Remix, of course, and Oreo Overload)
-- $25 Gamestop giftcard (okay, this is a promo from eRewards that I earned, but I'm totally counting it even if it's still being shipped to me)
-- 50% off some pretty crystals I've been lusting after at Michaels. TRUEFAX: they released a one day coupon valid only on my bday, so I went to see what they had since I was out already. I thought they'd sold out of the crystals I liked months ago and never restocked them (I've been checking diligently) but I managed to find ONE STRAND buried behind a bunch of other beads in a totally different section. It is fate. So I got them. :3
-- Wishes and kisses from friends... too many to count ♥

So I was watching the finale of Worst Cooks in America while I was having my lunch. I love that show because it's amazing how many fires can be accidentally set during one episode. Anyway, I missed the finale when it first aired, so I was glad to catch a re-run on The Food Network by chance. Woo TV. \o/
Anyway, one thing that bothered me was that Bobby Flay's cook (okay okay everyone knows I hate Bobby Flay but I liked the cook all through the season) had to make creme brulee for the final dessert to be served to the judges. During his test run, the guy accidentally got water into his creme brulee, so it didn't set-up properly and was basically ruined.
... for those who don't know, when you cook creme brulee (which is a custard), it has to be cooked in a water bath. Then you let the whole thing set up in the fridge before you torch the top. But if you get any water into the custard (say, from the water in the pan for the water bath), the custard will NOT set up and instead will be runny and ick. But you don't know it's ruined until you actually stick a fork in to eat.
So the cook was very careful when he was carrying his pan (filled with water for the bath and the ramekins of creme) to the oven to cook, but still managed to get a little water spilling in without his knowing about it, thus, ruined creme brulee. He was very careful again during the final cook-off for the judges, so 2 of his brulees came out perfectly. But one got water in it and was ruined (poor Marcus Samuelsson he didn't get to eat dessert).
SO.
What made me angry? Is why didn't Bobby Flay tell the cook to do WHAT PROFESSIONAL CHEFS DO (and what Alton Brown said on Good Eats)..................
PUT THE RAMEKINS IN THE PAN, PUT THE PAN IN THE OVEN AND THEN FILL THE PAN WITH WATER FOR THE WATER BATH USING A PITCHER OR GLASS OR SOMETHING.
That way you're not filling a pan with water then having the water slosh around while you carry it to the oven.
I mean, jeeze. Not that I make a ton of creme brulee, but doesn't it make sense to not carry a sloshing pan of water when you know water will ruin your creme brulee?
Sigh.
That was my little annoyance for the day.

Continuing the chocolate theme...
Apr. 3rd, 2012 02:51 pmOn the kitchen counter/bar are two chocolate bunnies. Not Godiva though. The fuckers. But they're Dove, which makes me happy. Also, I had a dollar off coupon for them, so yay for me being cheap. Anyway, not only are they chocolate bunnies, they are chocolate fairy bunnies, which means they have delicious ears and wings for me to gnaw off.
I must be strong. I must not eat them until Easter. I can do this.
.................... or I can eat one, and save one for Easter. Yes. Yes, this sounds like a good idea, too.

It's that time of year again
Feb. 22nd, 2012 01:36 pmAsh Wednesday! Time to repent for all the sinning you did on Mardi Gras. XD!
But now it's officially Lent, which means no meat for me on Fridays. Boo. :x And, as usual, now is when I really crave a cheeseburger with bacon. *crai*
Anyway, to mix it up this year, instead of giving up something for Lent (uh besides abstaining from meat on Fridays), I've decided to do something instead. I'm going to try my hardest to make 40 new jewelry pieces for Que Sera Designs. One new piece of jewelry a day, for every day of Lent. At least. Hopefully. :/
I already have the pieces to make a cute necklace for spring! That will be my first project, starting today.
On the jewelry front, I'm also working on designs for the jewelry design contest that is being run by the Southern California Local Bead Store Association. There's some nice prizes, and I'm trying to come up with a fabulous design to really wow the judges. Thankfully, the piece isn't due until June-ish.
Wish me luck!

So there's something in TV today?
Feb. 5th, 2012 03:49 pmAt the moment I am:
-- doing laundry
-- flipping between the Super Bowl, the Puppybowl, the marathon of Being Human, and the marathon of Auction Hunters
-- doing things online (like FB, Farmville, RP, etc.)
-- playing Plants vs. Zombies on my DS
I have already:
-- finished 3 loads of laundry
-- cooked and ate my lunch of orange chicken and rice
-- killed zombies on my DS
-- done things online (of course)
I will be:
-- continuing to rotate through the channels depending on commercials
-- taking a shower (after the laundry is done because if I do it now the water will be cold the poor water heater)
-- probably killing more zombies
-- folding the laundry I've doneor maybe I'll do that tomorrow
-- still being online :P

Jan. 11th, 2012 11:11 pmDear Google,
When I search "where can i buy girl scout cookies?", I expect to find resources to help me find Girl Scout Cookies to buy. I love Samoas. However, when I search for "where can i but girl scout cookies?" I certainly do not expect a link to "Can you buy fleshlights in stores -- Where can i buy fleshlights".
:/
No love for you,
Me
And to those out there on the interwebs, if you don't know what I fleshlight is, I suggest that you do not Google it. You really don't need to know. If you do know what a fleshlight is, you'll understand why this should not appear anywhere NEAR Girl Scouts or their cookies. I was somewhat disturbed by this.

Jan. 6th, 2012 10:35 pmWatching the Merlin season premiere! ♥ ♥ ♥
And OMG last season I had this little pet ship of Gawaine/Merlin because, I mean, come on. It's Gawaine, He Who Is Shirtless And Should Stay That Way. But this episode I was totally feeling the Lancelot/Merlin shippiness.
Actually, we should just throw all the knights and Merlin and Arthur in one big pile.
:3
Also, Morgana gets more evil and evil and eviler. And even when trekking through the wilderness, she's always so well-dressed. Maybe it's an evil thing.

Keeping things festive
Dec. 27th, 2011 09:25 pmSo since it's the holiday season, I shall pimp out a fic that I found last year but now have on my 'must read list' for the season.
Make The Yuletide Gay by
aggybird.
It's a well-written ofic (sort of) with the main pairing being JackFrost/Rudy Kringle a.k.a. Santa's son.
Yes, you read that right. Santa's son.
Yes, I'm probably going to hell. But at least it will be warm. And the fic is full of gems like this:
"Man," Rudy says later over dessert, after he thinks about it for a while. "I could have been getting laid when I was fifteen. Thanks for totally cockblocking me with that hot guy, dad. Really. Awesome job."
Mr Kringle chokes on his custard, and Mrs Kringle has to slap him on the back.
Go read it and be holly and jolly and getting merry like Christmas!

A post with multiple personalities
Dec. 20th, 2011 09:58 pmFirst of all, to get this out of the way...
*stabs ovaries*
Also, having to wander around a grocery store early in the morning without breakfast and on your period sucks hardcore. I only survived because of Super Plus tampons and the free hazelnut coffee. It was delicious and I had two cups. Then I knocked back Advil from the new bottle I bought at the store. That made things much much better.
Second, and totally unrelated, a meme! Just because I feel in a meme-y mood. 'tis the season and all that. ♥
Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you between one and three sentences from that story.

GUESS WHO FINALLY HAS A PSP, BITCHES?!
THAT'S RIGHT.
ME.
And not only that, I got it for practically free, since I've been hoarding gift cards for a year. For the price of one new game, I got myself a shiny new PSP (black) and 3 games: Patapon, Knights in the Nightmare, and Jeanne d'Arc. I would've gotten Crisis Core, but they were missing the disk when I went up to pay, which made me all ;___;. But I think I'll be happy for now.
... until I start getting new PSP games for Christmas and birthdays.
>_>;;
I want Kingdom hearts: Birth By Sleep, Dissidia, Dissidia Duodecium, and Crisis Core.
BUT YES.
I AM SO EXCITE.
THERE IS NO HIGH LIKE THE GETTING STUFF AT A BARGAIN HIGH.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ME.

Nov. 24th, 2011 10:04 amLet the ravenous feast begin!
And, because I'm in a holiday mood, I'll give you one of my tips for having a very delicious turkey with crispy skin. Before chucking the turkey into the oven, places nice-sized pats of butter on the top of the turkey where the turkey is 'flattest', i.e.: where the butter won't slide off right away while it melts. Don't forget to put good-sized pats in the joints, like where the leg meets the breast and the wing joints.
Put your turkey in the oven and let it roast.
Periodically, (after those first pats have melted into deliciousness) rub the turkey with more butter, especially in places that don't seem like they're getting brown enough (like the sides). The heat of the turkey and the oven will melt the butter as you rub, so you might as well reserve a whole stick for turkey duty.
No, this is not something to do if you're counting calories, but fuck that it's Thanksgiving.
If you use one whole stick of butter on your turkey (maybe more if it's big), you should apply butter roughly three times: the first application when the turkey is cold at the beginning, a rub with butter about halfway through, and another rub with butter about an hour before the turkey finishes cooking. Your turkey skin will be golden and delicious and moist and flavorful, and doing this also means you won't have to baste your turkey, because the butter will work its way into the meat as well.
For more flavor, consider using an herb butter (homemade is just fine) to add more 'omph'.
Devour with impunity! Enjoy!
... P.S. The butter trick also works with roasting chicken. But you use considerably less butter. ♥
Hello out there, denizens of LJ-land!
I know it's been awhile since my last really big update, so I've decided to catch everyone up on what's been going on with me IRL to keep me away from my beloved internets (besides all the damn outages and DDOS attacks LJ has been suffering). I've actually been pretty busy lately with...
QUE SERA DESIGNS
Yes, I've actually started up a small business featuring my artisan jewelry. You can also find me on Etsy, though the selling portion of my shop isn't up yet. ♥ I've actually been making jewelry as a hobby and to keep busy, but after making a lot for friends and family (and myself), I was encouraged to expand and sell to everyone who wants one-of-a-kind, affordable pieces of jewelry. I'm pretty enthused about this, since it's something creative that I enjoy doing, and I certainly don't mind making money doing it.
I've also been accepted to the Inland Empire Women's Business Center's 'It's Your Time' Program. It's a non-profit program that runs about six months long and is specifically aimed at helping and encouraging women in my area (the Inland Empire) to be successful small business owners. I'm really happy to have been accepted into the program, even if my 'final' of writing a complete business plan (with financials!) is a bit daunting. But hopefully I'll be successful. And all of y'all can cross your fingers for me, because the person who has the best business plan wins a prize package worth... I think it's over $3000. All I know is that last year, the winner got an iPad as part of the prize package. :3 I could use something like that definitely.
Actually, I've been pretty busy attending my classes and networking and, of course, selling my jewelry every month at Riverside's Art Walk. Though, now I'm hoping to expand to other local art events and farmer's markets and the like.
And now for the shameless pimping:
I'm also available for custom orders (just ask Pet and Aoi and K-chan, since I've made pieces for them). Please feel free to contact me through FB, Etsy, e-mail, or -- of course -- here on LJ if you'd like to purchase something or get custom jewelry made for you. The holiday season is approaching! So you should totally buy presents for everyone you know from me. :3
I've been thinking of a way to kickstart some funding for my business as well (buying supplies is pricey when you work with semi-precious gemstones), so I'm considering offering up a little promotion. I'm working on cute angel pendant necklaces for the holidays. They're made of freshwater pearl, antique silver wings and halos, with high quality crystal bodies, each individually handmade and hung from sterling silver plated chain. If you're interested in a necklace (or a smaller pair for earrings), drop me a line. I'll custom make an angel (or two) for you in your choice of color for $20. I already have some made for sale, so I'll be posting a couple pictures later on FB and here on LJ for everyone to see.
♥ ♥ ♥
Aaaaaaaaaaand to return the favor, since she already pimped me out,
gunxshyed is making CHUBBY POTTERS for sale. They're absolutely adorable felt ornaments that are individually handmade for you. She's made Snape and Harry so far, with a Draco as a custom chubby. I think she's willing to make anyone you want, so you should totally hit her up for cuteness.
Whew.
So was that pimping shameless enough, or should I have more blinking text?

Damn you Squeenix!
Sep. 15th, 2011 11:30 amIt's been confirmed! Neku from The World Ends With You has shown up in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance.
DAMMIT SQUEENIX. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME. I WAS ALREADY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BUY A 3DS SO I COULD PLAY THIS GAME AND THEN YOU ADD EVEN MORE TEMPTING GOODNESS.
*throws money at Squeenix*
Just take all of it! And you better give us teasers for TWEWY 2! And KH3! IT'S TOKYO GAME SHOW. GIVE US THE GOOD CRACK.

Aug. 10th, 2011 08:48 pmSo I finally finished Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded. I feel so accomplished.
^_______________________^
Though, note that I said finished and not completed, because there's a bajillion quests and trophies I still need to get for total completion and I'm not sure I want to finish 100%.
But I do want to get at least 20 trophies, so I can unlock the secret ending that leads up to Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Even if I know what happens in the secret ending anyway. >_>;; Hush. I want to unlock it.
BUT OMG. RE:CODED YOU AND I NEED TO HAVE SOME WORDS. CAPSLOCKY RAGE KIND OF WORDS.
( here lies spoilers and capslocky rage )

Jul. 27th, 2011 09:23 amHaving an explanation for all this fuckery makes me feel somewhat better, but still cranky at LJ. I guess Russia is trying to pimpslap its political dissidents again.
You were right, Windsor!
I just really wish that when they did that, they'd leave the rest of LJ out of it. I mean, ONTD has its very own server because of the traffic it gets. You'd think something could be done. Then again, I'm no expert.
YOU WIN SQUEENIX
Jul. 24th, 2011 12:33 pmOkay.
Fine.
I want to get and play Theatrhythm Final Fantasy when it comes out. A rhythm game? With FInal Fantasy music? And cute chibis? OF COURSE I WANT IT.
Looks like it's for the 3DS, but I'm crossing my fingers that it will work for the regular DS, too. If not, I'm going to have to wait until I can buy a 3DS... For Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, too.
>_>;;
STOP IT, SQUEENIX. STOP DOING THIS TO ME.
AND DAMMIT BARTZ. WHY DO YOU AND BOCO HAVE TO BE SO CUTE.
*weeps bitter bitter fangirl tears*

Looks like it's for the 3DS, but I'm crossing my fingers that it will work for the regular DS, too. If not, I'm going to have to wait until I can buy a 3DS... For Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, too.

STOP IT, SQUEENIX. STOP DOING THIS TO ME.
AND DAMMIT BARTZ. WHY DO YOU AND BOCO HAVE TO BE SO CUTE.

Because I can

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours
I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.
Old English:
Mine milkshake bring all yon gentlefolk to mine yard
and lo they reply, "'Tis better than thine...
"Verily, 'tis better than thine!"
I could apprentice thee, but I wouldst levy a fee.
Literal:
My whipped iced dairy drink brings the attention of many males to my place of residence and/or employment,
and they declare that its quality far surpasses that of yours.
Absolutely, it far surpasses yours.
I could convey to you the proverbial recipe, but I would have to demand compensation.
Limerick:
Through stereophonic tubes
Comes a girl rapping mixes and grooves
and though you would think
Her topic was iced drink
It's really all about her boobs.
Haiku:
Boys, drawn to my yard
Their words in chorus singing
Your milkshake loses
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours

I should have had you on your back and begging to come ten minutes ago. Maybe if this was a multipart, we could indulge in your psychotic fantasies. But this is a oneshot. So get over here, start crying, and let me get you naked!"
I think this is the best paragraph that I have ever written.
... I'm going to bed now. Really.

May. 27th, 2011 03:11 pmOkay. So. I've been watching MTV recently because I got caught up with this season of America's Best Dance Crew. Hush. I think the teams are really talented and I'm very torn between Iconic Boys and I Am Me at the moment, who will be going head-to-head in the finals.
ANYWAY.
Because I've been watching ABDC, I've been unfortunately treated to repetitive MTV commercials pimping out their new shows (when I don't change the channel to Food Network or something that is). And one of MTV's new shows is something titled, I shit you not, Teen Wolf.
I GIVE YOU THREE GUESS WHAT THIS SHOW IS ABOUT AND THE FIRST TWO DON'T COUNT.
So, yeah. Shitty new teen/young adult show meant to snag onto the whole Twatlight/vampire craze that's currently popular, except this time it's Twatlight with werewolves. Even from the commercials this show looks terrible, in ways that make someone who likes classic horror/vampire/werewolves (me!) want to rage.
Premise of the show is that teenage boy gets infected by werewolf and now has to deal with it. Enter pretty new classmate, who he is very attracted to, but OHNOES every time he's around her he gets all wolfy and doesn't want to inflict his curse on anyone else. How do I dislike this show? Let me count the ways.
1) The new girl's name isBella Swan Allison Argent. Argent. ARGENT. THE WEREWOLF BOY IS ATTRACTED TO A GIRL NAMED ARGENT. *froths at the mouth*
... for those too lazy to wiki, argent means "silver". >_>;;
2) Werewolf boy gets 'wolfy' when his blood pressure rises, or he gets angry/excited/upset/emotional/whatever.
WHAT. HE IS A TEENAGE BOY. IS HE GOING TO GET WOLFY EVERY TIME HE POPS A BONER. THIS WOULD BE HILARIOUS IN A TRAGIC WAY.
3) It reeks of Twatlight. 'nuff said.
4) I don't know if there's going to be classic turns at the full moon wolfy stuff, but it does look like werewolves are pretty feral killing machines. That's one plus, but it doesn't forgive all the other horrible things.
5) I have no fifth point. Except that maybe people need to start being original and not riding the wave of current popularity. But if you're going to ride that wave, at least do something different.
AND COME UP WITH A BETTER FUCKING TITLE THAN 'TEEN WOLF.' THAT WAS AN 80s FILM.
....................... *goes away to chew on things*
EDIT...
IT GETS EVEN BETTER.
I just saw a new commercial and guess what? Guess what?! That silver girl? HER DAD IS TOTALLY A WEREWOLF HUNTER. I guess the name 'Argent' becomes suddenly relevant.
But still stupid.
ANYWAY.

May. 16th, 2011 02:20 pmSo, here I am in the library and I have just noticed that a man has brought a computer into the library and is availing himself of the free wireless like I am.
Note: I did not say he brought his laptop. He has brought his computer.
Next to him are the empty boxes of what looks like a new Acer computer. The Acer computer that he is currently using. It has a tower and flatscreen monitor, keyboard and mouse, and he's checking his email on Yahoo. I know this because his monitor is nice and bright and large.
... I have to say that seeing someone bring in their whole computer to the library is definitely something I haven't seen before.

Beware the ides of March.

What man is that?
BRUTUS:
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
CAESAR:
Set him before me; let me see his face.
CASSIUS:
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
CAESAR:
What say'st thou to me now? Speak once again.
SOOTHSAYER:
Beware the ides of March.

He is a dreamer; let us leave him. Pass.
