A View From The Lake

I know the new logo doesn't look as good as the old one, but it'll do for now, and is much better than the red x that was there before... so as an apology for the red x, here' s my recipe for Cheapy Chinese Food...
Cheapy Chinese Food
1 package ramen noodles (any flavor)
1 cup chopped onion (I use all sorts of different kinds, but generally purple and white and green)
1 clove garlic (diced)
any other type of vegetable you might want to put in
1 tbsp butter
Brown onions and garlic and vegetables with butter in medium frying pan. When vegetables are near to being done, boil the ramen noodles in a separate pot until they're done but DON'T add the flavor packet. Drain the ramen noodles. Add the ramen noodles to the frying pan with the vegetables and brown the noodles. As they're browning, add the flavor packet and stir it around. Noodles are done when they start to *slightly* stick to the pan and look brown.
Serve on a plate and eat with chopsticks! ¶ 11:30 AM 0 comments

I was watching "Crossing Jordan," which is not a show I watch regularly, but I wanted to watch the news, so I caught the last few minutes of it. Not a show that really catches my interest, but the song at the end of the episode sure did. So I found the lyrics, which were quite interesting. If it wasn't illegal to download stuff anymore, I'd download it- it's by the Pretenders, which is a band I really do like.
"Human" by The Pretenders
I play a good game, but not as good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
But I had you fooled enough to take me on
If love was a war, it's you who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I thought you'd come through,
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart
See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside
And the damage is done...
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside ¶ 10:00 PM 0 comments

My sister's pregnant... I wondered when she was going to get pregnant... she's planned it so she gives birth during semester break. The baby is due just after Christmas. I suppose they might let me see the child when it turns 18, so I don't taint it with my liberal lesbianism... lol.... *gasp* I might even make it drive a Toyota when it turns 16.... heaven forbid! lol... I am happy for them, I really am, but I can just hear the conversations going on in the house... lol. (Speaking of babies, my best friend from high school is also pregnant. Springtime... sheesh.)
In more family news, my dad and his girlfriend, Rachel, finally set the date for their wedding. They've only been dating for 10 years, but I worry if they might be rushing it a bit... :P
I know, I'm a horrible family member. lol. They'll get over it.
Otherwise, Pride is getting underway.. we're finally ironing out some of the personality conflicts - I think. There's subplots upon subplots - it gets very exhausting, but I'm sure it will get better. Work is good and busy. I'll be working fulltime for most of May while one of my co-workers has knee surgery. Dating scene - I think my Sims are dating more than I am... lol.
I'm not too sure what's going on with the graphic at the top, but I have a feeling that my free hosting site (read: Mizzy's site) finally ran out of goodwill so I have to find a new hosting site, preferably free so I can put the graphic back up. Otherwise, I might look at moving the blog... *gasp*
Random thought: If I ever were to go into acting in television commercials, I would *hate* to do commercials for laxatives, tampons, or any type of that stuff. Can you imagine being approached on the street? "Hey, aren't you the chick that was riding the bike when her tampon started leaking?" Now only you and the other person would know that it was a commerical being talked about, but random people would think you were weird or had personal hygiene problems... and if you were on a first date... well, I'd bet you don't get a second date... and on top of that, what's the point of having marketing for those products anyway? They're all basically the same or perform the same function.... gah.
