Am missing Ren dreadfully. Will be in LA on Wed. and am sacrificing some school time to get cheaper tickets, but do not care right now. Anyway, tell me something happy to tide me through till then?

Not exactly happy but damned hilarious: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/pragues_franz_kafka_international?utm_source=tvtheonioncom.

[oyceter]

As a frequent flyer, that is absolutely hilarious!

[fmanalyst.livejournal.com]

Isn't it though? Absolutely perfect. And the Dostoevsky Hotel at the end was a nice touch too!

[oyceter]

Also, I think their description of Customs is entirely correct!

[fmanalyst.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed the "HELP ME" on the electronic sign.

I am starting PK off this time with court-martialing Brio! Also, even though this rewrite means I don't start off with Tamalat as a character, it does mean that the scene where she meets Brio for the first time will happen on-screen (as it were).

I have barley tea! Korean food FTW!

Do you like beaded jewelry? And if so, what kinds of colors? Measurements? (Or I could take my best guess, you're roughly my size for these purposes...?) I could bead you a bracelet or a necklace.

*hugs you*

[oyceter]

Ooo barley tea!

Oooo beads ^_^. I like everything, especially clear dark reds.

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I think I can hook you up with some dark vivid reds. Do you like anything in particular as an accent color, for contrast? (Sadly, I don't have enough reds to do the whole thing red.) I could do red-violet, red-pink, red-gold (I have these nifty twisted bugle beads in gold-color), red-black...

[oyceter]

Oooo red-gold or red-black?

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Off to bead!

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Necklace is done--redgoldblack--hope I will get to hand it to you in person?

Plan B Change (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/24/health/24pill.html?emc=eta1)

[oyceter]

Oh, that's really good news.

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

I thought it qualified :)

[jinian.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome, thank you!

The TJ lemon curd is quite yummy and not too sweet. Perhaps it could be a little more tart, but overall I am pleased with it.

[oyceter]

Yay cheap lemon curd!

[rilina.livejournal.com]

And I tried to make mochi again and this time there was less fail. Short version: cook mochi longer, spread out as one big layer and then cut into pieces, don't let the dough cool too long before handling.

They still came out lopsided, but they tasted much better.

[oyceter]

Ahhhh! That would explain it... cooking longer probably gets the floury flavor out. Also, did you use more potato starch? (hahaha. I sort of shudder at what your kitchen might have looked like after.)

Oooo do you have pictures of attempt #2?

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

When you get back I am totally taking you out for dim sum or noodles.

[oyceter]

That would be awesome!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Consider it a date! Shoot me an email when you're back and ready to think about socializing again. (:

[slrose.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the extreme sheepherding video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2FX9rviEhw

[oyceter]

I have, and it's awesome!

[yeloson.livejournal.com]

I have the classic, cheesy and yet totally awesome Galaxy Rangers cartoons! We should watch them some time and you can see why I thought Firefly wasn't all that special.

[oyceter]

Bwahaha, awesome!

(Someday I need to watch Macross in the actual subs, especially the episode with the hotshot pilot and the alien assassin woman.)

[yeloson.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I only have the dubbed Robotech version. And yes, Max/Miriya is the hottest couple ever. Their relationship is endlessly amusing. ("How can this micronian defeat me?")

[oyceter]

Yes! I imprinted on them very early while watching English dubbed Robotech after school (aired on an HK channel).

[yeloson.livejournal.com]

On note of HK, I've been threatening to do a John Woo movie night with Ladyjax, if you're down. Obviously, senseless violence, way too many guns, and silly plot holes but a good time nonetheless.

[oyceter]

YES!

KFOG Kaboom concert is May 9th, and there's a package deal for 4 tickets that's available now. It's great fun.

[oyceter]

Ooooooo, fireworks!!!!

[jamiam.livejournal.com]

Well, first of all, I would never ever EVER actually feed Ed or Al to my ball python. Firstly because I think rats are cute and awesome, and I feel bad as it is about having to feed Morris frozen mice; secondly because Morris has never seen a rat, let alone a live one, and Al and Ed would probably incapacitate him long before he figured out they were potential food.

Have you seen the videos of rats learning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h1ZU9epnnE) to play basketball (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41ZW0OGp4HE&feature=related)?

[oyceter]

I know, and thank you! Even threats of rattie harm tend to get me all protective. (Although I am not so sure Ed and Al would incapacitate him. I think Ed might, but Al so far does not seem to be prone to do much else aside from eat and sleep.)

OMG! The basketball rats! They actually jump through the hoop with the ball! Hahaha, if only I had the patience to train mine.

[mystickeeper.livejournal.com]

I started reading Marjorie M. Liu's Tiger Eye! It is my first romance novel EVAR.

[oyceter]

Awesomesauce! Bwahaha, am dying to know what you think of romance conventions.

[jinian.livejournal.com]

Here is a silly song about food: Fruit Salad (http://www.box.net/shared/askeo56oju)

[oyceter]

*snorfle* Awesome!

[kchew.livejournal.com]

My husband made me a cheese souffle today! The sky was blue blue blue, and the wind that was so cold when I went outside this morning slowly got warmer over the course of the day until I had to keep my jacket unzipped by the afternoon. The ground is covered with winter trash, but my irises are alive beneath it and starting to poke out. Soon I'll be harvesting fuki flowers and putting them into miso soup. Spring is coming, and it's a very good thing after a long, cold winter.

[oyceter]

Ohhhh that is lovely! I don't miss winter at all in California, but I miss the contrast between it and spring (not that I don't enjoy spring in California too).

[octopedingenue]

Rats fight diseases and landmines!

I am reading, very slowly, the true love romaaance of an angel and a mermaid. It is so bad it is not even fun anymore until it goes out the other side straight into hilarious again.

In capitalism yay! land, BookCloseouts.com is having a 99 cent Tokyopop book sale, and
Borders will be having uber-CD/DVD sales.

The most awesome Ouran fanfic ever: Boychick-sama's Very Special Day

The adorable Korean romance between a Flash rabbit and cat is finished!

[oyceter]

OMG are you reading the Joey Hill romance?

... or is there actually something else that is also the romance between an angel or a mermaid?

[octopedingenue]

That's the one.

or rather, the two, since THE SEQUEL JUST CAME OUT.

[oyceter]

BWAHAHAHAHA! youmust blog about it! (also, I heard the second one was better and am actually plannign on reading it because it is about the scarred and mistakenly evil witch mermaid!)

[larryhammer]

The only happy thing I have on hand at the moment is the Best. Single-serving site. Ever. -- http://www.isthebigpictureabummertoday.com/

---L.

[oyceter]

*snorfle* Awesome.

I love Big Picture sometimes, but sometimes I feel like they are just perpetuating tropes of Starving Africans or South American Drug Lords or the like.

[larryhammer]

Or today, Mexico's Drug War.
