    Well, that was… interesting [DDR post]

    Wow, I really suck at that! I am a complete and utter klutz!! That said, I really think this thing'll be a fun workout. Lord knows I need one or three. So I just plunged in, trying to figure out how to get where I want to go using feet (weird) and blundered into an actual game. Oh. My. Gawd. That's bloody hard! At this point I'm moaning, no, no, no where's the bloody tutorial! I don't understand! Help!! Then I wound up in workout mode and started laughing hysterically. Yeah, right – I can do that. NOT!!! Found my…

    Danger – do not shake

    Because I just couldn't resist: You are an SEDF — Sober Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you an evil genius. You are extremely focused and difficult to distract from your tasks. With luck, you have learned to channel your energies into improving your intellect, rather than destroying the weak and unsuspecting. Your friends may find you remote and a hard nut to crack. Few of your peers know you very well–even those you have known a long time–because you have expert control of the face you put forth to the world. You prefer to observe, calculate, discern and decide. Your…

    Yay! [DDR post]

    brought home goodies for me yesterday! Got a copy of DDRMax2 and a dancepad for $37! This should be… interesting. I&apos;ve already told Rob that I won&apos;t ever play it when he&apos;s around. <snicker>

    ARRRRRGGGH

    I don&apos;t think I can forgive w00t comic for this. This bloody song is now stuck in my head. I dug up the mp3 in the hopes of forcing it out, but I think there&apos;s really little hope of that. It&apos;s going to be rattling in my head all day. I may go insane. There is a special place in hell for Richard Harris. Whoda thunk that Dumbledore could have perpetuated the travesty that is this wretched song. Do&apos;ya think that scourgify would work on my head?

    Books and more books…

    Books 38 through 68 (Hoo boy, I&apos;m behind logging these!) Wow, maybe I should make an effort to post these as I finish, hmm? 38. Wifey – Judy Blume (05/22/2004) OK, so we went to this Half-Price Books tent sale – lots and lots and lots of paperbacks for a quarter each. Hardbacks for a buck or two. Just how am I supposed to resist something like that, hmm?? So I picked up lots of books, some I&apos;ve been wanting, some that looked good, some that was good wholesome trash reading. Wifey is one of the latter. 39. Rules of…

    Weekend

    Friday was fun. It was the annual boat party from Rob&apos;s work. I met him and his co-workers down at Hula Hut around noon for pre-cruise drinks, then we headed to the boat. Lake Austin is a really long lake, with hooboy gorgeous houses on the banks, speed boats and water skiers, and “party boats” like the one we were on. Last year&apos;s was on a party barge (yes, like that party barge); this years was a cute double decker paddlewheel. This fish hangs out off the Hula Hut deck: Lush growth along the riverbank: I&apos;ve got to do this…

    Yummy!

    So we get pork loin in bulk at costco – slice &apos;em in half and they&apos;re yummy shake&baked (homemade, thank you), marinated, whatever. Tonight, I decided to try something new, so I virtually thumbed through some of the recipes I&apos;ve added to my memories – here&apos;s the result: Pork medallions in a garlic cream reduction pork loin, sliced into half-inch thick medallions Olive oil 1 head garlic, divided into cloves, peeled and sliced thinly 1/2 cup marsala 1/2 cup cream (I substituted fat-free evaporated milk) Saute the pork medallions in a little oil until done but still tender; place on…

    Oh. My. God.

    Issac Asimov is spinning in his grave. I can&apos;t believe that I&apos;m going to say this, but the movie I, Robot may be a worse travesty than FsckingVerhoeven&apos;s Starship Troopers Why, yes, I did just see the trailer, why do you ask?
