Let the wrong begin

I am amazingly tired. But there shall be no rest for the wicked. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival (okay a day or two early but the weekend is a no go). So tonight I have been cooking up a storm and today I went shopping at the local Asianish market. Tomorrow's menu is something like this:

Steamed pork buns
Turnip cake
Edamame
Mochi and Green Tea ice cream
fried dumplings
And some random candy and snacks
Bubble Tea

Part of that I made from scratch. I meant to make up more lanterns but ran out of time. Bugger LOL. Maybe I'll make some with the kids when I get home tomorrow or maybe I can convince Kt to help me out by projecting the kids. Either way it should be fun. I have a few friends dropping by though there are almost no definite times for anyone *chuckles*.

I have two tests tomorrow. One first thing in the morning and one at like 2 pm. Ugh I still need to study. Juggling cooking, hair care, and studying today has not been fun. I'll be happy when the weekend comes and I can crash. I'm still a bit jet lagged.

K 'nough out of me. I've got some buns to finish and some accounting to review.

So I switched LJ formats in honor of ye olde Thanksgiving. It was not easy either. Or I should say not as easy as I would have thought. LJ doesn't have any thanksgiving layouts really. I found this one in the food and drink section. It is about as close as they have. Odd ne?

I thought I was goin' to be able to sleep the sleep of the wicked tonight. Unfortunately I forgot I was cooking the ham which means I have to be up at a reasonable hour. Actually I just checked cooking times and I don't! Bwhahaha I am free to be a sleep glutton FREEEEEEE! *coughs* Right then maybe I should get to my gluttony of sleep then.

Or not. I wonder when people are getting here tomorrow. Looks like in addition to our standard number of 11 (Yes I live with ten other people for those few new readers) we are having hmmm I want to say only 9 extra people but I feel like that number is a little small. Let's just say there will be between 20-25 people here. We're only keeping 3 or 4 for the night but then we have others coming over throughout the weekend. Good gods this is a busy household during holidays. **Groan- I just realized I have 2-3 more people to add to the list. I don't even want to think about the money right now**

Speaking of holidays, I'm so proud of myself. I went out today and got almost all of my holiday shopping done. I believe I have maybe hmm 3 more people to buy for then I want to make up some small gifts for school friends. Kinda like Kt's Martha Baskets but nothing so expansive. Most likely edible in nature. Hmm gotta design those at some point. I also ordered checks for the household accounts. Hehehe checks with My Little Ponies on them. Bwhahaha! MLP is lurve!

Alright time to attempt sleep.

Night all and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

(No not like that you perve!)

I would just like to say that roast chicken is in fact a wonderful thing. Fairly healthy (with greens and some rice) and utterly easy to make. Wash, pat dry, dump on some garlic, salt, pepper, and roast. Wham bam-thank-you-maam, an hour and half later and you have a meal. All the prep time (sides in cluded) being like maybe 10 mins. I would just like to say. Oh yeah and Yum!

Now you can do lots of more interesting things with chicken. This was a pretty boring meal (but tasty). But honestly if I'm sick, and tired from working a full shift, I don't really care too much and barely feel like moving, let alone cooking. Other then cooking is a great stress reliever and I love it for that fact alone.

Anyhow I think I shall go eat now ^_^

It is about 10:20 and I have finished all my work lol!

Having a good time here. I really did miss the people. The job is easy. So I'm going to probably try and finish my math homework today and now I'm kicking myself cause I just realized I forgot to do last weeks med term test. Fuck I’m a dumbass.

Scott and I grabbed burgers at Red Robin last night then went back to my place and we watched Naked Lunch. OMG what a fucked up movie. It was cool and interesting and sparked a strange psycho-babbly conversation afterwards but whoa. LOL yeah I remember Mr. Cardillo talking about Burroughs in eng lit class but I didn't quite remember what he said before hand. Yeah but I loved the outfits. What can I say I have a fixation on nice suits and men's clothing. Yummy! LOL Even on girls it just looks tasty. Which is odd since unless you are really effeminate I don't like girls clothing on boys mostly. Or shall I say I don't find it attractive just funny.

Jen has to go and have her car looked at. Scott took a look at it yesterday but fuck if I can remember what he said. I think he pinned it down somewhat though. Tonight we are going to see the new Harry Potter movie after I get out of work. That should be fun as all hell. I also have to take and exchange the mixer my mom got me. BTW I have one of the bestest moms in the world. She got me the super nice mixer of DOOM! She did get a crappy color but that’s okay since there is a Kohls right across from me and I’m going to go and exchange the colors. The lady on the phone said they had a purple but looking online I don’t see that it comes in purple. Anyhow if not I’ll get black, here’s the mixer: http://www.kitchenaid.com/catalog/product.jsp?src=STAND%20MIXERS&categoryId=310&productId=487 Oh yeah I love my mommy. Such a nice mixer!! I of course want to customize it and stuff but I can settle for one without cool flames like Alton brown. Ah I checked the website and I think she thought I was after a different mixer. Oh well I’ll get this one in black and still be super super happy. *squeaks*

Anyhow homework time I guess.

I've spent the day in bed. Not in that good happy fun way either. This is really becoming annoying as my weekends are basically the only time I wander anymore. I'm not all the way up to driving and walking to the front room requires more effort then I ever thought it would so taking a walk is out. I'm also fairly certain I'd get lost if I left the house. I think I got lost earlier trying to wander around the house. Okay I'm lying but it was a funny thought. I'm whinging I know. Not normal for me but amusing to me none the less. Maybe that's why little gothy babies do it so often it is kind of almost fun to whine in a truly disturbing sort of way.

Anyhow enough of that. I've spent the past several hours watching Good Eats episodes on my computer. I want to cook. I crave the action of cooking. I can't cook. Somehow I've become a masochist without realizing it. Oh bother.

I got my paycheck today and discovered something a little disturbing. They've been under paying me by 50 cents for I'm not sure quite how long. Since I've been working there for about 2 and a half months and only just realized I'm rather embarrassed by it. I've been thinking I should call ablest and have a talk with them but then they would go and charge the place I'm working for more money wouldn't they? And I want a more solid job at this place and that means I should avoid rocking the boat. So now I'm confused as to whether or not I should bring it up at all. I mean they should have warned me if my pay went down and I remember checking the first few checks and it was the proper amount so now I'm like what the fuck when did the pay rate change. Plus there is the embarrassment factor of not noticing it for like months. Anyhow I think the rest of the eps are uncompressed and I have more GE to watch. Yay masochistic tendencies. Oh and I think my new favorite is with him and his nephew! So cute!
