I'm going to pass the next 15 minutes not in a helpful manner but a selfish one. Because I am grumpy today.
Commence train of thought writing:
How did the past 3 years go by without me noticing? I understand now why many people stop changing their hairstyles in their 20's. I don't want that to happen to me... how does one let their personal style change gracefully? I have about all the grace of a robin reliant.
Yes. I'm currently obsessed with these little cars. I want one with perhaps a wonderwoman paint motif along with a matching helmet. I shall round up criminals with my lasso of truth!
What a stupid super power. I can make you tell the truth. According to some stereotypes, any woman worth her salt can get the truth out of a man.
You know... cause she nags. GET IT??!! GET IT!!??
Misogyny.
What a hoot.
I like owls.
I also like monkeys but I'm not really a fan of the sea monkey. I could only ever get 1 or 2 to come back to life then they'd die when I'd dump all the food into the water or perhaps they caught sea monkey plague from all the dead sea monkey bodies. Did I create a sea monkey hell?? :(
Hmmm.
Well in any case, it was a dumb toy and the box was full of false information. THEY didn't eat in a little castle and wear crowns. They didn't even wear clothes.
You know what was a cool toy involving water? The plastic tank things you filled with water and had a button that shot a jet of air into the water so you could get a tiny basketball into a hoop. Or I think I had one that was a dolphin that you'd try to make jump through a hoop. I know there were usually hoops and items to go through them. Then I'd "put it away" and someone would step on it, crack the plastic, leak moldy water all over and that was that. No mas plastico shooter thing.
I looked up the word misogyny to make sure I had the correct spelling and on the webpage was an advert for "wedding invitations". I'm not sure how I feel about that.
You should all know that "going green" or anything described as "green" is a deceptive marketing ploy that caters to our need to feel better about buying shit and that if it doesn't stop I may shoot things.
ACTUALLY I will shoot things while eating mcdonald's cheeseburgers and throwing the wrappers on the ground while standing atop my oil leaking chevy suburban that gets 8 miles to the gallon* while kicking over buckets of paint and lighting piles of garbage on fire.
so there.
that does smack of performance art so maybe not
Perhaps a "going green" venture should be to make a cell phone that will withstand more than 2 years of use so millions more wouldn't "have" to be made. Orrrr maybe the US could try to create a serious recycling program. Millions of us are without jobs... Perhaps govmint is waiting until we'll be willing to work for food and healthcare. Meh.
I know I'm a part of it and this will sound hypocritical but most of the time I really dislike the consumer culture.
*no I don't actually own a suburban... they're tanks and mostly unnecessary. Now that I think about it, I've only ever seen tiny blonde women talking on their cell and driving erratically in these. Friggin' benny's.
12 May, 2011
I'm worth the bacon.
Checking in as it's been uh... 3 months since my last confession.
3 months!!?? Say 10 Hail Marys, 2 Our Fathers and 3 Glory Bes.
Homefront:
Getting married in a few weeks, 23 days to be exact. I'm puckering up just thinking about it. Not the being married part, that just gives me an excuse to make a new signature and have an alias*. It's the actual party part. The speaking in front of others part, the is my dress tucked into my tights part, the I really hope my famblies has a nice time part, the go sneer at my choices somewhere else snobs part. Let's just say I will not be drinking, whiskey dpo = mouthy dpo
Pottery:
Continuing. I bought my own pottery wheel and have successfully made 70 little cups for wedding favors. Clay makes me happy in the feelings. I've also made a bunch of other stuffs but I need to allow myself to not make "functional" items. Ready... GO!
Today I am listening to Erykah Badu, I forgot how much I like her. And how big her hair could be. Impressive to say the least.
If you're vegetarian this isn't for you:
Recipe
Sort of Ma Po Tofu (tofu with spicy sauce)
1 carton silken tofu (firm or extra firm)
1/4 lb ground pork or beef (I prefer pork)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp miced ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 TBspn soy sauce
1 Tbspn mirin
1 cup chicken stock
1 TBspn potato starch (or corn starch)dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1 TBspn hot red pepper paste (found in korean grocery)
1 Tbspn sesame oil
Saute stuff
1. Put 1 TBspn sesame oil into pan and brown meat
2. add onions and let cook 3 mins
3. add minced garlic and ginger stir around about 30 seconds
4. add red pepper paste and smash into pan until it sort of dissolves BE CAREFUL not to burn the paste
4. add chicken stock, soy sauce, mirin and black pepper and stir
5. add water and starch slurry, stir around and let come to slow boil (sauce will darken in color)
6. gently add tofu and gently push it around in the sauce until gently heated through. Gently.
7. Serve over rice if you wish and sprinkle with cayenne pepper if you want it to be super spicy
Please note: tofu will be approximately the same temperature as magma in the center. I am currently still healing from an extreme tofu episode.
*I'm seriously considering changing my first name at this time to Apple or perhaps even Maimy Apple. Sounds like a prohibition era cocktail.
