The Real Post...or a Little Mole for that Chicken
9 years ago
As mentioned I am posting two entries today. If you'd like to read the other (video game nerd rage), check it out. ^^ If you'd like to know about less-ranty stuff, read on McDuff. ^^
Am so glad the cold weather is over with around here. I like snuggling under the sheets but I also like not having to hide under them when I'm out in the living room or try to purposely snuggle up with Luna. On the other hand it's been quite rainy around here which makes weedwacking and froggie removal a bit of a pain.
Sadly it looks like I will be replacing the older of my two computers (or at least getting a power supply to see if that helps) since it's to the point where it will BSOD on me after it's up for a while (and there's hardly a program running). I already have a case to start with and I look at getting optical drives and power supply next. The true guts of the device...and the OS I will decide on later (thank you Microsoft for making 10 such an anti-competitive bully). Thankfully with my portable hard drive I have the files I want safely transferred. The other thing I wanna get is a new copy of MS office since the computer I'm building is more of my "work" computer and I'd like to have a good word processor and Excel to use. Also need a couple of monitors so I can dual-screen again.
Been having lots of fun as well with cooking - got myself some ceramic knives, a hardwood cutting board and a cast-iron skillet and I've done some General Tso's chicken, alfredo and pesto shirmp pasta and even some more interesting dishes in my kitchen. So good to have access to places like Wegman's to get really good ingredients. It's so fun when you can make better Mexican food than your Hispanic co-workers, better Oriental food than any place in a town of about 20,000 and can even rock some Thai and Indian curry and slow-cooked pork loin your coworkers really like. Speaking of, I got some chicken I wanna cook in mole and some beefy stir-fry to work up too. If only I was closer to a Friendly's for their ice cream. :P That would top off the cuisine and craft beer.
Thankfully we're in the season where Bandai trims back on new models, which is a good thing since I have the Vaff, the ReviveGouf and the 1/100th scale Grimgerde awaiting shipment. May get the Astaroth since it is pretty unique. But other than that, my only reserves are for the Robot Damashii Destiny Impulse and I think Luna's ZAKU Warrior and the HGCE Revive Force Impulse (hoping they make a Blast Impulse)...so much to build so little time. :P
I suppose that wraps that all up for now.
