Attempted Food Item of the Week: Everything.

Well, not everything. But seeing as how my parents are going out of town, giving me full access of the kitchen (without hovering or trying to cookblock me or even trying to clean as I'm still preparing the meal, like they do, silly parents), I'm going to be free to experiment.

Hated food item of the week: Avocados.

I cooked fajitas tonight, which were a moderate success (compared to my chicken salad, which was a raaaaave.) In addition to the fajitas, though, I also tried my hand at guacamole and... failed. Epically, in fact.

Favorite food item of the week: Onions.

Awesomeness.

Yeah. That's right. Work that eyebrow.

While digging through my closet today for a book I just had to find (there's a quote in it that kept playing incorrectly in my head and I had to correct it), I managed to find a pair of purple, fuzzy handcuffs.

I have no idea where they came from. I have no idea how they got in my closet. I have no idea who they originally belonged to.

But they are ( Read more... )

I decided to completely revamp my livejournal, finally growing bored with the London layout (no matter how awesomely designed by Erin). It's something darker too; I was ready for the change.

I'll also be snazzying up my Freewebs layout with an Alexis Bledel banner I made while up in Des Moines.
