only an hour and a half until I can go to bed ^_^

"Well, you know what they say - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, unless you build an orbital velocity cannon and fire it into space." (I'm not expecting anyone to get it - that one's just for myself.)

I just saw an icon that totally threw me into a teensy fit:
doctor/pain: the only otp you'll ever need
And you know what's fucked up? My little emo self took that on a literal level as well. What is it about angst that turns me on so? ^_^;

I really am going into hyperdrive in my fangirling right now, though. I think the really weird thing about it is I can't remember the last time I went super fangirl on a live action series. Or on a non-animated character.
Need more icons so I can properly express my fandom. ^^;

Uff... I filled a bowl full of the water that's been prepared for a good week and a half (the container I used to use for putting Sashimi in when cleaning the tank got cracked when I threw it up the stairs), and now I just have to go that last step stopping preventing my eyes from going anywhere near his bowl and actually transferring him. I hate this avoidance habit of mine. I think the plan is to take a hot bath while studying my kanji cards once the 'rents get up, then transfer the fishie to his temp bowl, put a piece of paper over it so he doesn't jump, and then go to bed.

picked up a shift :)

Well, I called to ask whether I was supposed to work tonight, since the schedule had me listed under Sunday and Monday, and I didn't know if "Sunday" meant Saturday night to Sunday morning or Sunday night to Monday morning (it turns out it means the latter), but yesterday's worker was a no-show and they asked if I could come in today. When I called Chris (my manager) to verify all this, he said he was going to call me to ask if I wanted to work tonight, but he didn't have my number. So yeah, 24 hours this week, baby!
Now I just need to do the laundry so I can have my work clothes ready and prepare myself some food for before I leave and during my shift.

P.S. Operation transfer the fishie has finally been completed.

learning to cook for myself really is an adventure

So today I was planning on making omelette maki for work, but I don't think I quite have down when I'm supposed to flip it and I tore it up and made it un-rollable, so I just ate that for dinner and decided to start over. I ended up cutting up some soft tofu into cubes (which ended up more like... how do I say it... rectangular prisms with square sides), and right now it's sitting in a bowl of Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing with a little extra soy sauce added to make it less viscous, and before I leave I'm gonna let the sauce drip off a bit and put it in my bento along with some baby carrots. I'm a little disappointed about the rice... I think I added too much rice, since my big bag of rice got infested with fruit flies and Dad threw it away, seemingly along with the rice cup, so I just assumed it was a proper cup and used a cup measure from the kitchen. Anyways, it's good enough.
I think I'd like to get some basic Japanese cooking ingredients, though. Mirin, azuki beans (wanna make me some desserts), dashi, and the sort, in addition to some actually food to cook (me want soba!). I just need to make sure to get only a few things or in small enough quantities that my parents don't get mad at me for taking up the cupboards again. I should also look to pick up a good broad Japanese cookbook, or at least one with more "basic" recipes than "Lotus Root and Tomatoes with Sanshou Vinaigrette" that is the fare of my copy of Contemporary Japanese Cuisine, but I suppose I should stick with recipes I find on the internets for a while first. I really wanna try my hand at making chicken katsudon when I can.
