SPIRNG BERAK

To start off my spring break on the 23rd, I went to the Georgia aquarium with my some of my famz. It was tight.




{{{THE ABYSS}}}
Then the next day we had a sunday dinner and my uncle made this perfect, delicious cake. It had a chocolate cheesecake layer, that's how perfect it was. 

Then on Monday I made this:

Focaccia 

Tomato, basil, mozzarella pasta salad
And I took it to Birmingham to enjoy with these lovely knuckleheads:

I made & gave Rosh this shirt:
She seemed to like it.

Rosh and Bernard. Bernard is the cutest.


I went home to my parents house on Wednesday and George did this cute thing.

Wednesday night I decided I was going to fix the screen on my galaxy s3, which turned out poorly and left my phone in a vegetative state. I thought that I would have to use my brother's non smart phone for 3 weeks until I got paid and could afford to purchase a new galaxy. I told my parents about ruining my phone and they weren't that mad and my dad even remembered that he had his captivate, which is the same phone I had before it broke and I got my galaxy. So it's all good in the hood now. But I'm still going to buy another galaxy.

On Thursday I organized a lunch with ClaireyD, Bram, Luke, Brian, & AlexJohnson at Nothing but Noodles. It went swimmingly. Gave Luke an early bday present. I think he enjoyed it.
AlexJohnson invited me to trivia that night and it was the same group that went to lunch plus about ten more people. Our team name was Mo Money Mo Tacos :D and Bram won us the 3rd place $5 dollar gift card which he got to keep because it only seemed right. 
And then some people went back to Bram & AK's place and we watched an episode of fringe and then an episode of house hunters and then an episode of something on the cooking channel. And then and then and then and then and then and then and then.
That reminds me, am I the only one that didn't know that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were having a baby?! For some reason I always think of Ashton Kutcher as a perpetual bachelor.

This photo was an accident,
but it shows this awesome tardis blanket that I used
while I was at their house.
This shows how badly no one wanted to sit next to me.
That kind of offended me... but then AK sat next to me and
my insecurities decreased.






















Today I ate some bangin' Panera with ClaireyD and had some invigorating conversation about literally everything and it was good. Then we went to zen beri and harassed Luke by text message and ate some fantastic gummy bears. Everything was awesome.


Most recently, I've been sat in my bed listening to Sebastian play video games and laughing hysterically at cat gifs and I also made some peanut butter cookies earlier. And now we're about to play battle block theater or n+ so I'm gonna go.

Jealousy

Look at this beautiful masterpiece. The Sorted food guys use it in their kitchen.

Here's why it appears to be better than the comparable kitchen aid:

  • There's a spinny knob on the side instead of the little lever on each side of the arm of the mixer. 
    On the kitchen aid, the little levers look exactly the same and even though I've used a kitchen aid about 1000 times, I always go for the wrong one when I need to use it.
  • The kenwood is so much sleeker and modern looking. Appeals to my design senses. The kitchen aid has a very old fashioned kitchen look going for it with the hardware, which is fine, but just not what I personally like.
  • The kenwood can come in a stripey design. As far as I know, with the kitchen aid, if you want a design, you must add it yourself.

The only problem with the kenwood is that those silly Europeans use a different plug than we do. 
I've found some similar mixers with the spinny knob from amazon, but so far they're all just not quite right. Will keep looking.

OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT JUST HAPPENED 5 HOURS AGO.

I mean, I only made a few gifs of the funny parts from their livestream so it's not like I did anything incredible, but I'VE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THOSE HANDSOME DARLINGS. ;)

Bittersweet and strange

I'm doing a blog post to avoid bs-ing my way through a research paper. I think I might go to bed after this & just frantically do the paper in the morning.

So I have this reputation of being alright at craft projects. My cousins are really good at exploiting that, and it's okay, I let them. There's this gala thing that they decorate for every year and their theme is Beauty and the Beast. Here's some things I've made so far, in case you're curious & for my future reference:




I mean, don't judge my stuff based on my shitty photographs. I want a dslr sooooo very much.

feels

Ugh, the newest episode of My Mad Fat Diary is incredibly depressing. I shall remain hopeful. 2 episodes left and I'm confident they can turn it around.

Look at this miracle that happened today. Sorted food, the absolute gems, replied to me.
I wish I hadn't replied with the second tweet, but I can always delete it if I feel the need. They seem to respond to everybody and I love that. Those boys are all just precious little cupcakes.

tumblypoos

I have a tumblr. It's like a fun, hip version of this blog. But it's mine, so like, not really.

march 5

All of the people from college that I consider actual friends (well, actual enough that we're facebook friends) all have names that end in the long 'e'. [Ex. Marcyyy, Katieee, Tobyyy, Emilyyy, etc.] It was a coincidence until I noticed it & now I can only have friends at jsu with these type names. Okay that's a lie, I'll take all the friends I can get.


So I'm totally obsessed with #mymadfatdiary again. Nico Mirallegro is a god. I wish that it was popular in the states so that I could talk to people about it. Now all I can do is flail about it on tumblr.


I was watching a previous episode of sorted food and I had this flashback of a British bear show that I remember watching as a kid. At first I thought paddington, but the videos I've found don't look like my mind pictures. I was looking at the list of PBS shows to see if it was on there & I realized that I watched a shit ton of PBS when I was younger. It was quality programming.
