So this Turkey Day break has been full of making things. Mostly food, actually. :) For Thanksgiving dinner, I made red bean paste buns...not very, uh, "traditional" but whatever, I spotted a can of "aduki beans" in the store for the first time on Tuesday and knew I had to try making them.

Did not successfully buy a dragon necklace.

The gallery's small but it had some neat other things to look at...including stone beads for sale (managed to refrain from getting anything...this time...) Sujan ( Read more... )

I got a new swimsuit (this top and this bottom) and a bunch of beads. Yay, beads!

-played Oblivion (for, like, five hours)
-surfed Wikipedia (ended somewhere around Batman-related things)
-made XF icons from The Unnatural (GIP ( Read more... )

Had a great day today despite waking up in the morning with amazing lower back pain. Ronnie helped me stretch it mostly out even though I was being a crabby bitch about it, so we managed to get the laundry done ( Read more... )
