100 foods again
The 100 foods list I posted about a while ago inspired me to try new foods. So today I made a gumbo, mostly following this recipe. I made a few changes, I added some kidney beans, replaces the green beans with peas and added more spices (some basil, chili powder, parsley and a few dashes of hot sauce). I also didn't have a parsnip so I didn't ( Read more... ) -
and done
I applied for a shot at $1000. CASCA is starting a best student paper scholarship, so I spent all day rewriting a summary of my recent paper to send in an application. They'll be reading the summaries and evaluating which ones make it to the second round and then reading those papers. Hopefully I make it past the first round because my paper is ( Read more... ) -
la la la
I made it out to the new-ish Chinese grocery store in town. It's actually a year old, but I've been really lazy apparently. Anyway, it was pretty awesome. It was a bit like Oceans near my parents' place, but I think this one is smaller. They have a lot of the same stuff though and this is the important bit ( Read more... ) -
infrequent hair washing
I used to wash my hair every day, then I had a hairdresser who pointed out that this was unnecessary, so I tried washing every other day. It was greasy for a bit, but eventually it was fine ( Read more... ) -
Makeup and me
I don't really make a policy of wearing makeup. I usually wear it for nice occasions when I'm supposed to be dressed up (but I didn't wear it when I got married, hah) or when it's a party and it's fun to put on some makeup (like my reception ( Read more... ) -

so much stuff
This week there are going to be some collection boxes for donating clothes to a women's shelter on campus. I figure that this is a good opportunity to empty out my closet a bit without having to go anywhere particularly far away (e.g. Value Village) with all of this stuff ( Read more... ) -
dysplastic nevus
That's what I have. Well, I had until the doctor cut it off. Not cancer, just possible pre-cancer... maybe ( Read more... ) -
Oh look, parents are special!
A couple in Hawaii stole $5 worth of sandwiches from a store. The woman was pregnant and hungry so she ate a sandwich while she shopped and then the couple forgot to pay for the sandwiches when they left the store. They were caught and arrested. Unfortunately, they had their daughter with them and had just moved to Hawaii so they didn't have ( Read more... ) -
biopsied
So yesterday I finally got my mole biopsied. My first appointment was at the end of August, but the doctor said there wasn't much of a rush and since I didn't plan on being in the country when the stitches needed to come out, it was ok that I waited. The next time I went to get it done, I show up and the office is shutting down because of a ( Read more... )
