Headings

Sure. Why not?

Food

I don't know where Dala got the idea, but her Ramen broth replacement is amazing. Use half a pack of the oriental powder, a few liberal splashes of soy sauce, a few liberal splashes of worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper. It works great for plain Ramen noodles, but it works even better with veggies and pork to go with it. We keep on planning to make and then keep on putting off making soda bread. We need to really get in that. I haven't had soda bread since I was a kid and I think the walk down memory lane would be just as fun as actually making it.

Comics

I was at the comic shop yesterday, just kind of poking around. I had the great idea to pick up a Godzilla comic or two to decoupage, but pretty soon decided against it when I saw that the cheapest books were 5 bucks a pop. That's too much to spend on something I'm gonna cut up. That said, they did have some classic Marvel and Dark Horse comics of the guy, which was cool to see. I ended up picking up Maxwell Strangewell and read it last night. I loved every bit of it.

Nightmares

I didn't get any sleep last night. I had a horrible nightmare where my neighborhood was about to be invaded, Red Dawn style, and the only way to prevent it was to paint all of the houses orange. Unfortunately the paint wasn't well mixed, because there were splotches of white in every brush stroke and the color itself was less of an orange and more of a dark peach. With hiccups like that, it's no wonder we failed. Typed out that whole dream sounds ridiculous. At the time though, it made perfect sense. Our minds are weird like that.
