This One's For Public Consumption

+ Dinner was sweet and delicious. I'm kind of glad I didn't order a full portion of the ahi tuna sashimi and just have that as my meal, although from the weight-loss standpoint I probably should have. (I went over my limit by 400 calories. Yeek.) It was tasty, but it wasn't authentic; I think I vastly prefer honest-to-God Japanese-style sashimi ( Read more... )

Your cat: :O!! Sad story. ;_; I'm a cat lover. Can I have her?

I first read "The $64 Tomato" as "The $64 Toronto" O.o That translates to someone is tired and that means someone has to go to bed but this someone wants to see the LJ friends spam the someone's LJ like there's no tomorrow because.. thought process cannot continue.

Dare not, anyway. Feel not worthy of spamming yer LJ as we just added one another.

Yeah, I was sad to hear about it too, but I'm glad it was just a case of her not knowing where to live and not deliberate abuse. ;_; I don't think you really want my cat, as we have had some toileting issues with her in the past. Of course, if you want cats who urinate with gay abandon all over the place if they're not watched...;D

Feel free to spam. I don't promise I'll get back to it OMG IMMEDIATELY, but I always appreciate commentary. It means I said something worth commenting on. ;)

My cat has a UTI. ;_;

Cats are love, and if my cat weren't queen of the house, I'd get another one in a heartbeat. :D

Delicious spam is delicious.

Awww, poor thing. :\ Callice has been checked out by a vet and has no such excuse.

Cats are furry pests. *g* Callice needs to be an only pet; otherwise, I'd come home to find this entire part of the Midwest submerged in cat pee. If she thinks she sees another cat, she takes it more seriously than I've ever taken anything in my entire life.

Mmmm, Spam, eggs, sausage, and Spam.

UGH re weight loss. I am somehow managing to put on weight at a rate of knots despite not eating any more than usual. This irks me.

I really should buy more good coffee. That way I can drink it black and unsweetened and thus MIRACULOUSLY LOSE THIRTY POUNDS! Or not.

I think my thing is that I'm just now buckling down and applying some self-discipline to me. One of the secrets on the list is something I'm trying to quit doing, just to prove I can, and I was doing okay. Now, all of a sudden, I want to do it more than anything else in the world and I would probably gladly swap my immortal soul for it ;)

I'll drink any coffee black and unsweetened. This is because I am a manly man, though, so you may not wish to follow my lead. Well, I guess you can if you want, but by so doing, you agree to indemnify me and hold me harmless for any psychological trauma arising therefrom ;)

That is the way of such things, unfortunately. Even if you forbid yourself to do something you hated, you'd still want to do it more than anything in the world.

Ugh, I like coffee too much to drink bad coffee without disguising the taste as much as possible.

I'm not sure I'd want to clean my closet THAT much, for instance ;)

Yeah, sometimes there's no cure for it. I tend to drink black coffee more if I'm showing off for the other guys.

I want a caramel kitchen, too. ;_; Why are you hogging all of the caramel kitchens?!

I hate how my weight fluctuates. It'll suddenly go down to a number where I get all excited because then I get closer to what I'd actually like to weigh, only to jump back up to a a completely unacceptable number. Stupid weight.

But it's so simple! All you have to do is make yourself some caramel, which you can then stir into CAKE BATTER and enjoy a delicious caramel cake. Then your kitchen, too, will smell like caramel.

Unless you leave it on the burner for too long, and then it will smell like a bloody mess. But that's the risk you run!

My weight stays pretty stable, but the problem is that it stays pretty stable at a completely unacceptable number. :\

Well...
There aren't many that are entirely Maori on the major TV channels, at least for kids (there are a couple of more pre/teenage ones, like Mai Time and a couple of others that I can't remember)
But for little kids stuff, here's a link
Maori TV - Tamariki
You might be able to find clips somewhere or somesuch.
We also have the news in Maori (Te Karere) which you can definitely get clips of, if you're at all interested.

\o/ <--I'd make it dance, but I'm just not that 1337 with the ASCII.

Groovy! I'll definitely look for clips sometime. Thanks so much! :D

Haha, I definitely wouldn't be able to make it dance either, don't worry. It's the thought that counts, anywho.

No worries. It's quite something to encounter someone who's actually interested in Maori in general.

I can't see what's not to be interested in *g* My obsessions are many and varied and extremely peculiar to nearly everyone who isn't me. :D
