Barbecue and other delectable delights.

[teaberryblue]

So, I have a shitload of things I wanted to write about and didn't/couldn't for want of LJ not working/got caught up with other things. Suffice to say, they may come, they may not.

However, just for the sake of a life update, I:

--Have electricty
--Have water
--Have my desk put together
--Have my TV, cable, and Wii set up
--Am still using my floor instead of my desk
--Love my new bed
--Desperately need to unpack

--Saw Bug. I may either recommend or not recommend this movie on the grounds that it was too good at portraying what it tried to portray. Which was seriously and truly disturbing in more ways than I can accurately communicate.

--Went to a barbecue. Josh, my wonderful former coworker, has a barbecue every other week. I did not get to go to the last one because it was the same day as Jo's shower, but this one, I WENT TO. The theme was Filipino food, which I've never cooked before, as Josh's girlfriend, Kristin, is Filipino, and they went there for a few weeks this winter. Saturday night, I tried to make pastillas de leche which came out more like catpuke de leche. So then I made these interesting cookies that use cornstarch instead of flour.

And then I found out that one of Josh's friends is allergic to wheat! So he got to have cookies ! He seemed very happy about this and I was very pleased that my cookies went to such good use. It started raining about halfway through the barbecue and we moved inside to play Wii surgery! I almost killed the guy but didn't, whew. Also, I made a Mii of Jesus, which was pretty awesome. Every time he won, the golden glow of Heaven would shine down upon him. Yay.

--Have had several dreams which I have forgotten or forgotten to keep track of. I can, however, recall two that I should write down about.


Friday night, I had a dream about this guy who was waiting to get on an elevator. I don't remember his name but he had reddish hair. The girl (who had blonde curly hair) in front of him turned around, and he realized it was some girl he had had an enormous crush on when he was in high school. And he went all rubber-mouthed trying to talk to her. And then he showed her some pictures from his portfolio-- I think he was a photographer, and was mentioning that he didn't have a decent website. Then the girl was like, well, you know, I'm a web designer and I emailed you ages ago asking if you'd like me to do your website, but I didn't get a reply, so I thought you weren't interested. And he went all tangle tongued again trying to insist that he was interested and it was all cute.

So then later they met up somewhere and she is like totally throwing herself at him and she actually leaned over and kissed his neck and he was like, BZUH, what the hell is going on, aren't you moving awfully fast? And she started talking about how she'd always had a crush on him and he was like, no, no you didn't, I always had a crush on you, and he started freaking out that she was like some robot or alien or something sent to seduce him. That's when I woke up.

And just so you all know that I sometimes have dreams about myself, I had a dream Friday/Saturday that my mother came to wake me and told me that I didn't have to get up yet because she was going to Vegas and she would wake me up when she got back from Vegas. So I went back to sleep. It seemed like an ordinary realistic getting woken up thing and the only reason I can even tell that it was a dream is, you know, because she said she was going to Vegas and would wake me up when she got back.


Also, I have menny, menny artz. I wanted to have one more, but it's not finished yet (it's a pic for ninepointfivemm), but the amount of art I haven't posted anywhere but the Erins board is getting to be insane and I wanted to put it up somewhere where all's y'all's could see. So.



This one is gildedage's Bloomsdale character.


These are mine and quizzicalsphinx's.


These are both mine, except one of them is also sort of rattsu's at the moment.


Mine and quizzicalsphinx's again, only different ones.


Mine and pachakuti's


Also mine and pachakuti's, except this one is kind of adulty so it is behind a link.

filipino food is weird. i think if i hadn't grown on up on it, i'd refuse to try it. as it is, some of the food still freaks me out and i won't eat it. tralala.

& as always, i lovelovelove your drawings!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

All the stuff Josh made was pretty ordinary! I liked it! But I would have eaten weirder stuff-- I like almost everything.

And thank you! I love your drawings too!

I'm glad to hear that Bug isn't a cheesy horror movie. I really want to see that one.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Oh, it totally creeped me out. It's not at all a stereotypical horror movie, which I think is what disappointed people. I think they advertised it like it is because they didn't want to ruin the plot, and I know some people didn't like it but it's really not a horror movie at all.

[abhor.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good news. It looked more like psychological thriller to me. The only thing I was worried about was unneccessary gore.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's a psychological thriller.

But it's got a lot of gore. None of it unnecessary, though.

[abhor.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Sorry, should have asked you directly instead of asking evasively. Bad habit :P

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Oh! I don't mind. It is pretty gory, but I think it has to be for the plot. It's not like mountains of blood, or mass slayings, but there is a lot of cutting and bloody stuff.

[themis.livejournal.com]

Thanks to your post I have the worst craving for lumpia.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Sorry!

I can't wait till Godric and his BEFORESHAVE are finished.

[dancedarkly.livejournal.com]

Oh man, you guys and Bloomsdale. Moaning about feeling out of the loop's idiotic, I know, because it's my own fault for not being able to keep up with anything ever at the moment, but it sounds such fun =(

However: artz! They're awesome. I should stop drawing on lined paper and do something prophah one of these days.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

You can also erase the lines.

And only the top one is Bloomsdale; the others are from elsewhere! So don't feel so out of the loop!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

He says it might take a very, very long time to make him look perfect and manly enough to really accurately portray him.

[dancedarkly.livejournal.com]

Haha, lined paper generally means I draw messily in ballpoint, else I would!

Ah, okay. Mmm, I just miss RP-ing, inept though I am at it. Oh well - next year is uni-versi-tay, so perhaps I will have a shot =)

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Yes! You should! It would be fun to have you <3

And most of my drawings start out as ballpointy sketches and then get turned into proper drawings! I'd like to see your sketches, too!

[ninepointfivemm.livejournal.com]

Remind Godric that I am not Rowena. ;)

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

He says he knows. That's why he needs to make sure it is accurate, because he still has a chance of impressing everyone else. Rowena is just going to say it doesn't smell bad enough, either way.

[ninepointfivemm.livejournal.com]

Well, if he actually got rid of some of the dirt on his armor every once in a while...

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

That's not dirt. That's the blood of his enemies.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU'RE RIGHT. AUGH. HOW DID I DO THAT?

Hahahaha oh man. I think I do that every time I draw someone with crossed legs.
