Ok ok so tonight I finally was in the mood for some turkey. But there was a catch… I had it with rice noodles, peanut sauce and spicy peppers. Even my noodly appendage has to have rice!!!
Work was busy, but not busy enough for me to get extra hours. Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll get a phone call on one of my days off.
Tonight I decided to start working on my next short machinima. I won’t give details as to what it’s going to be. But so far I have the lip sync down, map location and 2 recordings so far. It’s not going to be anything spectacular, I just wanted to do something short and funny. You have to work on these things while you have the creative juices flowing through you.
>In other news I still like rice…
Wow… Work was real slow tonight. People must have blown all their money on Black Friday… To make matters worse my hours (as well as everyone else I work with) are being cut back worse than ever. I’m not even getting 20 hours. I need 25 per week to keep my medical, hopefully I can get some extra hours in.
Tonight I continued my rice addiction, only with bell pepper. Followed by a strawberry smoothie shower for what it’s worth.
Ok, back to video card shopping…

Last night I actually had a good evening at work. Came home and tried a new soap made of natural oils and sandalwood. Made a sweet rolled Japanese omelet and finished off the rest of my imitation crab with some sushi rice.
Last night Ivan_Fookinov and I were trying to play a serious round of Left 4 Dead 2 when a couple of n00bs came in. We were nice to them, hell everyone has to start somewhere. But I knew it was going to be a long campaign when the first question was “How do i pick up things?”. Things went rather well, at least until the finale came. Everyone got raped. This is why you either train in singleplayer before a match or with a friend. Oh well, Yutram came in and it turned into a total admin match. Between him and I gnomes were everywhere, tanks and witches ran rampant, Francis chargers were there to rape, the Nick Hunters were bouncing in the special gravity. It was all good fun.

Last night I decided to make something interesting and it turned out pretty good. Thai themed sushi. None of it was raw unless you counted the red pepper I used. I used cooked imitation crab, poured a limes worth of juice over it, added the chopped red peppers. Then I prepared the rice by cooking it, adding the sushi dressing, added frozen peas to it then let the rice cool. Added the crab mixture to the rice with a bit of cilantro. I have to say it turned out pretty well. It had a spicy clean flavor, and since I like my drink to match my meal I had some chai.
>Arts, farts and crafts.
I haven’t blogged about arts and crafts in awhile. So I thought I’d share this.
Princess Barbie gave it to me a long time ago. It didn’t have anything around the V-Neck so I added the charms by hand, some with glue and some with some basic hand sewing.
The blue bead is a bunny (sewn when I was 17). It seemed like a good idea at the time. In a way it was like sewing the past onto clothing.
>I live another day.
I was greeted by Turkey tonight. It’s a tradition to have Turkey and the trimmings the day before thanksgiving. It always tastes better the 2nd day anyway.
That said, I’m currently resisting the urge to nap.
>Open Thread to the 3rd power.
Barely survived today. Thanksgiving grows near and the last minute shoppers are attacking in hordes. Emotions run high in the work place when things don’t get done.
There was a sugar spill that I couldn’t get to right away. Mostly because the work cell I was holding kept hounding to get this or that for customers. One of the checkers had the nerve to tell me that I should have made cleaning the sugar up a priority. Technically cleaning up sugar at a check stand isn’t my job, so… Getting eggs and butter for a bunch of waiting customers is less important I guess. I told my boss that and he had a wtf look on his face. Oh, I’ll have to do it again tomorrow too… I was going to have the day off but I volunteered for extra hours.
That bullshit aside, my Logitech G15 came today and it actually works!!! Plugged it in and the display lights up. This one’s even better, the backlight on it is a nice blue color and the LCD display is not only larger but can be folded up and down like a laptop. Real nice investment if I do say so myself…

I’ve said this many times in the past. I hate going to bed early. It doesn’t matter how tired I am. I’m just not a day person. I ended up lying in bed for hours on end with my eyes closed. The temperature was fine so I’m unsure what would have kept me up.
That aside I survived another day, being horded by zombie customers in search of butter, eggs and turkeys.
It’s been raining non stop the last few days. Staying in the early 50’s mid 40’s and possibly getting into the 30’s later in the week. It feels like summer!
Now onto my mission to eliminate the many bath products I have. I managed to use the last of my organic Christmas soap. Tonight I’ll move onto lemongrass.

I saw the funniest episode of The Cleveland Show tonight. Cleveland Jr and that really fat wife that’s bound to a motor scooter banded together to pass a law that would make it illegal to discriminate against fat people after growing tired of fat jokes. After the law failed to pass they were quite distraught, and so they searched for a place they would feel more welcome (while making constant food stops). They came across a utopia with a water fountain that spouted chocolate, morbidly obese birds that fall out of the sky, a hot air balloon with one guy in it dragging on the ground and a bunch of trams throughout the town to eliminate walking… This beautiful land was known only as Wisconsin. I might have to put a link to hulu when it becomes available. Whenever I watched that show I always thought it had a few funny moments but being overall meh. This was heefuckinglarious. I could actually see this country becoming fat enough that they would depend on trams for transportation. The only problem would be getting trams and escalators that won’t short out from having to haul all that weight around.
The Family Guy episode where Brian writes a crap novel, becomes a famous douche and gets a spot on Bill Maher was classic too.
