News of me
Cookery: I have figured out microwave quinoa. Bring two parts water or broth, one part quinoa to a boil (I went 2 1/2 minutes in an 1100 watt microwave, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup quinoa;) then simmer on 30% power for 15 minutes. Mix with...wait for it...pesto sauce or another sauce/salsa you savor. :D I'll be trying it with pineapple salsa for breakfast. I figure I can put it in to simmer, then shower and dress and come out after it's been resting for a few minutes.
My change of weather cold: not to be confused with my short-lived cruise cold, mind you, is in the disgusting clearing out stages. If I can't see an expiration date on the bottle of Mucinex it must still be good, right?
My boy cat: total sot. I came back from the kitchen to see him licking my beer bottle. Sani-wipes to the rescue! (It's a fairly expensive little brew from Trader Joe's and, like, half the bottle was left.) Rodney McKat is sulking around my ankles, his back turned exactly to me. I have a feline alcoholic wannabe.
My elbow: after a quiet few weeks during which I ditched my therapy exercises, it is sore in the golfer's elbow region again. (snivel, whine) Apparently, I now have a barometer in my elbow. I finally noticed it does this when rain is coming. (whacks geezer cane) That sort of thing is for old people! Baby boomers do not age gracefully!
Summer Movie Watching: (links to Wikipedia -- do not read Plot section if you do not wish to be spoiled)
Oblivion: Starring Tom Cruise. Someone has a killer sense of irony on so, so many levels. I very much enjoyed the movie, though.
Iron Man 3: Still love it, still waiting on slash fixes.[Spoiler (click to open)]Mark 15, Pepper? Really? Tony's boyfriend would have known...Should possibly be nominated for some sort of "most deceptive trailer" award.
Star Trek Into Darkness: up next. Favorite trailer quote: "There's greatness in you, but not an ounce of humility." I know the reboot is a time-warped alternate universe, but am still not holding my breath for that Kirk trait to change.
