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.

I dreamed about OftenBen last night. He had a restaurant where he was a quasi-regular, at which for dinner he frequently ordered salads. His special treat, however, was that the kitchen would slap two burger patties on top of his salads, which made them tenable. There was a girl he met there, who'd noticed his burger-salads, and they were going to go on a date.

(As for me, I was sitting down to take what was essentially a GRE, but only for math, with 6 or so other people in a classroom setting. As we prepared to start the exam, the proctor poured us all glasses of rose. I remember it was a particularly leggy rose.)

That Ramen recipe sounds amazing! I usually just sprinkle the packet over dry noodles and eat it that way...

Funny. As a kid, I used to eat dry Ramen as a snack. No powder though. :)

Don't trust him on this, he told me to watch some horrible movie called the Lair of the White Wyrm.

kleinbl00  ·  2751 days ago  ·  link  ·  

It was fucking awesome and you know it.

Yeah. But, Clint Eastwood.

_refugee_  ·  2751 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah guess who is in the Lair of the White Wyrm, Hugh somebody.

oyster  ·  2751 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Anything Hugh Grant touches is amazing. Same goes for Clint Eastwood really.

_refugee_  ·  2751 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Go watch Lair of the White Wyrm right now. It's on Amazon. Report back.

oyster  ·  2751 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh ya you definitely lost, this movie is awesome.

oyster  ·  2751 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Alright, but you go watch Repo: The Genetic Opera, I'm sick of nobody knowing what a gem that movie is.

_refugee_  ·  2751 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I've seen it twice! I enjoy it. I'm not saying it's 5 star worthy, but from what I remember, solid. Internet high fives.

If you want to watch something really skillful and slick, on Netflix there's this movie called "The House of Yes" starring a young Parker Posey. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not horror or fantasy at all, though.

Well, it might be horror, but in a weird way.

It also features a young, still-unattractive Tori Spelling!

Finally ! It's a great movie. Also bad horror movies are my jam so you might be losing this one.

I'll check that one out but it might not be on Canadian Netflix.
