Refracted Neurons

My husband is sitting next to me eating oatmeal with cornflakes and peanuts. Bleh. Earlier this week he cooked cucumbers. Every time he turned his head I would take one of the cucumbers off my plate and stick it in his.

N: "What do you eat for brunch besides Pop-Tarts?" M: "Yeah, brunch is hard for me.  I'm the Anti-Brunch.  I like potato things, like hash browns, potatoes O'Brien . . ." N: "I could make potato pancakes!" M: "I don't like pancakes." N: "It's not really a pancake, it's more like a giant hash brown." M: "Like a latke?  I don't like latkes." N: "Um." M: "And then people put apple sauce on them.  Ew." N: "I don't know how to make latkes.  It really is like hashed browns.  B likes to put eggs on top." M: <silent egg hating moment> N: "Not on yours though.  I know you hate eggs.  And we'll have fresh fruit smoothies.  What kind of smoothies do you like?" M: "I hate smoothies." N: "Okay, what kind of milkshakes do you like?" M: "Chocolate." N: "Are you telling me that if someone offered you a ...

Eating Rolos makes me strangely sad and filled with longing.

So I guess this is old news, but I only heard about it recently.  I probably missed it because I hate doughnuts.  Apparently Krispy Kreme has created a doughnut flavored milkshake.  But before we delve into that, a little history: I think I started hating doughnuts after eating a jelly doughnut at a birthday party/gymnastics class.  I learned the hard way that jelly doughnut + gymnastics= a very upset stomach.   I doesn't help that I hate slimy things.  The fact that doughnuts often have slimy things hidden in them really grosses me out.  I don't really like the taste either.  Worst of all is the texture.  Doughnuts are always dense and greasy.  My favorite doughnuts (when I actually ate them) were Hostess Donettes, especially when they were a little on the stale side.  Hostess Donettes were always incredibly dry and predictable. I also have issues with some milkshakes.  By "some milkshakes" I mean...

I just saw a fan sub of episode 1 of Saiyuki Gaiden and I am couldn't be more thrilled.  Up to this point I really haven't been too big of a Konzen fan.  He always seemed a little bleh compared to Sanzo.  But that was all before he said: Go Konzen!  Stick it to the man! I really wish that this along with Burial was sold in the US.  I don't mind subtitles, but I like the shiny, clean quality of the actual DVD, versus watching it on Youtube or downloading it from some questionable site.  Or maybe I just need to learn Japanese. That aside, if you want to watch it, you can go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpm9n8uwdCw&feature=feedu Just found out that was taken down from You Tube as a copyright violation.  I hope I actually get to see the rest of it at some point and it isn't one of those only released in Japan things.

Yes, everyone gets frustrated at work sometimes, but think of this: at least your boss isn't Komui Lee. He piles on the work, is disorganized, emotionally reactive, he likes his robots more than his employees (watch episode 8 of season 1 where Sir Komlin almost kills everyone), he has a weird thing for pink bunnies and huge sister complex, and he tends to be just a little sadistic.  I honestly can't think of the last time my boss came at me with a giant drill. He's also my favorite D. Grayman character, so don't think I'm being a hater. Buy D. Grayman

My friends created some wonderful art for my bachelorette party:     The writing said "You can leave your hat on."  I know it's weird, but my favorite Bleach charater is Hat and Clogs.  I love the cleverly placed fan.    It looks much better when you can see the whole picture, but I couldn't fit the whole thing on my scanner. Watch out, Mustang is snapping!  Well, something is on fire anyway. Literacy is hot.  Ever wonder if Kakashi wears that mask to bed?  Now we know the truth. It's Sanzo!  Yay!  There's nothing like a gun-toting, chain-smoking priest. It's Wolfwood!  Yay!  There's nothing like a gun-toting, chain-smoking priest.  Hey, I think I see a trend here.
