Status report [Thursday July 24th, 2008 at 1:42pm] bigbigtruck - We're finally, finally getting some rain - I'm still juggling 3 jobs and scraping for cash, but hopefully it'll ease up soon - Less than a month till Matsuricon, 5 weeks till AFest. - Printed and sold out of the first wave of TJ & Amal 1" buttons, which was sweet. Making another batch soon, as well as (I hope) some stickers and a mini-book - Necessity of paying work has kept me away from the comic, which sucks sucks sucks. I'm so behind. - Am unreasonably bitter and downhearted about not being at SDCC this weekend. (My stupid brain says "hurr, if you were any good, you'd already be there, Comic Con's for real artists!" Shut up with your logical fallacies, brain.) - Had The Black Cauldron on while doing some Photoshop work. Had never seen it before... clearly I did not miss much. Egh. - Have started the resume dance again last week. Open to design work, clerical, and manual labor. No bites yet. - This is how we take the old to the new. 4 || reply || edit

i want more fandom friends ;_; [Thursday July 24th, 2008 at 4:49pm] emlan [ mood | sad ] It is with a heavy heart I notice that a lot of peers on my sweet FL still haven't looked into Kaiji. Do you...Do you guys not trust my taste/judgment [sad violin music] are you afraid the sharp noses will somehow crack your computer screen beyond saving? [snow falling] btw they will There's easy zero effort online viewing at [crunchyroll], why not peep 2-3 episodes and then if you like it you can get the HQ [torrent batch]! Unless you are ok with the LQ-MQ of crunchyroll of course! (I know a lot of people prefer manga over anime but there is no scanlations to share! The animation and especially the music is great though.) TRIVIA: The narrator in Kaiji is the VA of ZARAKI KENPACHI oh boy look over here bleachtards!!! Speaking of which I want Grimmjow back where is he. EDIT: some spoilers will prolly appear in comments so, don't read those too closely! 21 || reply || edit

Suspiro de Limeña [Thursday July 24th, 2008 at 1:07pm] food_porn [bookworm_chanty] Suspiro de/a la Limena. Here's a recipe for a Peruvian dessert. This is probably one of the most pornilicious ultra-sweet things I've ever had. It's hard to describe. It's pudding-y at the bottom but in a creamy way and light and fluffy on top. It's so easy to make too. It sounds complicated because of the syrup but it's not as involved as it looks. I should know, I'm at best okay in the kitchen :) Basically, you boil one can of condensed milk (about 1-1/4 cup), 1 can evaporated milk and a cinnamon stick stirring constantly until thick and creamy. Let it stand for about 10 mins. Beat 5 egg yolks and add a tsp. of vanilla essence and slowly incorporate into the milk (I personally slowly mix about a cup of the milk into the eggs first before mixing that with the rest so I'm sure the eggs don't get scrambled). Pour into individual serving cups or one big cup (I think individual is better). In a saucepan, combine 1 c. of sugar and 1/4 c. of port wine (or any sweet-ish liquor or heck, even water, basically, make a syrup) and boil until it reaches soft-ball stage. Beat 2 egg whites until stiff and slowly pour syrup into them, beating constantly until the meringue is cool. Top the cups with a layer of meringe and sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Presented in cups, it makes a very pretty dessert for a party. A word of warning though, it is incredibly sweet so it might be overwhelming quickly for anyone without a seriously sweet tooth. 2 || reply || edit

[Thursday July 24th, 2008 at 5:16am] bythefault On second thought, if my asshole mentality's going to piss someone off every other time I express myself in public I might as well just take it elsewhere for everyone else's sake. There's no point in apologizing and trying to redeem myself for an honest mistake that doesn't reflect my worldview at all because it'll just happen again, because it always does. People remember the incensed fuckups that happen when I'm still enraged over having all my irrational insecurities validated by complete strangers IRL and not the sincere apologies that happen when I'm thinking reasonably afterwards. Do you know how frustrating that is? Those of you who know me (or have debated with me) know what kind of person I am. You know that even though I come off as stupid and close-minded I try my best to forgive everyone who takes a swing at me, that I always come forward with a truce in an argument, that I don't actually mind when other people discount my opinions because I value theirs. This applies to Internet people but just as much to the individuals who gave me crap for no reason while I was buying my dinner today. They did me wrong but I'm sympathetic to their positions in life because they too are in the social minority and probably will suffer or have suffered the same abuse from others just because of who they are. That's why I didn't try to insult them back or defend myself. Yes, I vented off my anger here and yes I used an inappropriate term to describe the person who was most passive-aggressive towards me--a young woman with a notably masculine appearance and an extremely deep voice. Do I think her being transsexual or a crossdresser had ANYTHING to do with her being an asshole? NO. I was just caught up in my own repressed anger and the word "tranny" slipped out as I was venting my feelings. And people understandably took personal offense to that. It was hypocritical of me to refer to another person with a potentially offensive term when I myself had just been told that I didn't belong in the United States, the country of my birth (presumably because of my ethnicity). I'm sorry. It was stupid of me. One of my own peers whom I regard very highly is a ftm individual, so I should've known better. Right now I just need a break from dealing with any more strangers. I'm vitriolic enough right now that I'm afraid I might lose my patience with someone who doesn't deserve it. Friends only from now on, comment if you want to be added and have the balls to put up with shenanigans and badly-drawn penises. 110 || reply || edit

Insert gleeful chorus of Queen and/or Pink Floyd songs [here]. [Wednesday July 23rd, 2008 at 11:48pm] eibii [ mood | accomplished ] Ah yes, the bike matter. Tonight, there was finally progress for my neophyte ass. I'm not sure how it finally occurred to me that I needed to tuck my legs back and stay as close to the frame as posible, instead of extending them outward to try and catch myself for the inevitable falling-the-hell-over. Self-perpetuating blunder there, and nobody thought to correct me on it, so there I was until I got sick of it, said "aw, fuck it," settled back, and... whoa, wait, it's working now, whee! I knew in theory that balancing on a bike is a little like balancing a gyroscope, but apparently I had a swiss moment and didn't intuit the whole Keep To The Center, Dumbass tip until I had a better seat to mess around with the height and weight distribution. Any Learning-To-Ride manual I came across either didn't spell it out in capslock, or I just skimmed reading 'em. The dinky mauve bike is a little small for me to pedal well, I'm nearly knocking knees to elbows when pedaling (on the occasions I do manage to pedal, and not list into a hard turn, fall over, and look like a total ass). but I needed it to learn to balance, and that's worth a hell of a lot. And a hell of a lot was not what the bike cost, so hurray for that, too! My arms feel feeble and twitchy from hours of steer-break-steer-break, but the dopamine rush more than makes up for it. I coasted successfully downhill many times into a beautiful sunset, and it was damn awesome. Turning and pedaling at the same time is the next hurdle, more easily leapt when it's daylight again and I'm not damn exhausted. It's embarrassing to admit I'm still learning something so childishly simple as riding a bike, to admit that I never learned 'when I was supposed to' for a whole bunch of reasons, but the stupid giddy rush of actually getting the hang of this is so hard to keep to myself. I don't get enough breakthroughs these days, dammit, so I'll take this one for what it's worth. tl;dr, YAY BIKE. 8 || reply || edit
