hooray she'll never come back to politics again at least not with any success... however the best part of this video is at around 3:48 when she says "the world needs more Trigs" yes that's sarah palin telling us the world needs more retarded babies. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Look out it's time for one of those rare post of mine that aren't me bitching about this or that (though i'm sure i'll still bitch at some point in this post) or isn't a video i think is enjoyable.
So things have changed drastically the past couple of weeks. My old car was in really bad shape... the rear suspension was done for it wouldn't go into park anymore and there something wrong with the cooling system. So on June 18th, 2009 I purchased a new used car. It's a 1998 Kia Sportage (tiny ass SVU). On that same day my brother gave me something from my day about 7-8 savings bonds from the first 3 years of my life... I cashed them in for about 750 bucks... one day after spending every penny i had for a new car. Last saturday i took the car back to the dealership so they could install a most insulting device... an antitheft GPS thingy... that i have the input numbers in everyweek after i make the payments or my car doesn't turn on... (this insults my honor incase you didn't know) They's now a whole procedjure to starting my car. So, This past week my new used car decide it wanted to be a difficult prick and not start for a few mintues after work monday... yes thats right 4 days after i bought the car i was already having issues. So it's been starting fine since then, but the check engine light it on and it likes to buck after stop lights or stop signs when istart going again. I made an appointment with the dealership to get it checked out luckily i have a 6 month power train warrenty so this will be free.
So, I have the money to go back to school... or go to Con... There's an obvious choice here, but i'm procrastinating.
My back has not been in a good way for a while now. Work wasn't helping the matter at all... So i got my work to give me less stuff to do in hopes it would allow m,y back to at least start feeling a tiny bit better and that sorta worked so far. Of course no one talks at UPS so one of the supervisors doesn;t fucking know why i'm in his section and keeps trying to give me extra work. I need to find another job with at least a small amount of benefits and better pay. My allergies are crazy go nuts right now, but it hasn't turned into sickness which is good. Right now i have a massive sinus headache the kind you can feel in your teeth.
D&D has been really good. We hit the reset button like a month ago and i'm not playing a druid again... The first class i ever played in D&D. The Controller role is really fun. Until now i had only played a Leader. The monday night mutants and mastermind game isn't going well at all. I haven't been able to make the past couple of weeks thanks to my car issues, but it felt like we were just spinning wheels the two weeks prior to the start of my abscenses. I'm playing a technopath but so far all i've really done was make an ATM spit out some money and flounder trying to figure out some crazy devices.
glebs282 is doing a 30 days 30 movies thing. I'd like to do something similar only I've seen most of the movies on his list and the list of various other people so please post some ideas here for me. Harold and Kumar: Escape from guantanomo bay M.A.S.H. Repo: The genetic Opera
I know most people who are gonna read this are fairly liberal and probably never watch fox news but i want everyone to watch this video from Olbermann...
I honestly think my car is finally dead. It still turns on, but i don't think i can put it in park anymore. Fixing this could be simple or it could cost way more than i'm willing to spend... I think i should just go buy a new car but that means the money i have saved for moving will be gone and saving will be difficult.Looks like i will have to go out and get a second job to hopefully hasten paying off the new car.
The best damn risotto ever aka Tom Ka Gai Risotto I loves me some Thai food, Especially the thai soup Tom Ka Gai. I realized two days ago it would naturally work with risotto.
Ingredients for a single serving thought it should feed two people 1 inner packet Coconut Ginger Soup Base (you can find this in the international isle of your local supermarket, hopefully. Look for a "A Taste of Thai" products) 1 1/2 cups of Coconut Milk 1/2 lb - 1lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth 1 finely chopped red bell pepper. About a handful of or so of cubed mushrooms (this can be any mushroom i've tried Portebellas and shiitakes so far.) 1 cup of arborio rice (this can usually be found in the rice or international sections) 1 half of a decent sized white onion diced finely 2 tablespoons of butter unsalted Cilantro or parsley
In a sauce pan combine broth coconut milk and soup base heat on high until it starts to boil. Coconut milk bubbles up more so then boil so when it does stir it and wait for the next bubble up and stir again and repeat one more time then reduce the heat to low and simmer. Add red pepper and mushrooms.
In sautee pan slowly melt the butter over medium low heat. drop in the onions and sweat... that's sweat not fry not sautee not burn... but sweat. you don't want to hear a sizzle or maybe a very mild one. once they look sorta translucent turn down the heat a little drop in the rice and cook until the ends of the grains become translucent. Add the liquid yumminess. you must let the rice absorb all the liquid and believe me it will. you have to occasionally stir it for the next 15-30 mintues. When about a quarter to half of the liquid is absorbed add the chicken. garnish with chilantro or parsley.
all and all it should take you about 45 mintues to make.
For the 3rd year in a row something is wrong with my car the week before my meet. I over heated yesterday and leaked a lovely amount of coolant at the parking lot of the thai food place. I'm hoping it's something small and cheap to fix and not the 400-500 dollar price tag my stepfather warned me it might be. So much for me getting out of this hell hole.
For the second year in a row I have some crazy: cold, flu, upper respiratory infection, allergies, or pneumonia and it won't go away... I'm coughing up mucus like nobody's business. Oh, we're talking that thick chunky kind of muscus... I have totally awesome soar throat. I keep getting tension headaches from all the coughing up of muscus and my body is fairly achey all over.
I WANT TO FUCKING DESTROY SOMETHING (hopefully it won't be myself.)
So yeah that whole being active and walking everyday i suck and fail hardcore. I should set my computer to restart at 5 am everyday thus making me get the fuck up and go for a walk...
So I have some friends around here again. Guys from work who are decent people but not always the most intellectual, but they are some gamers if only video games. The guys from D&D are quite cool. Joe was pretty awesome before that. The DM Clint, really knows what he's doing and creates a fun atmosphere and when the rules get hazy he always makes a sensible and logical decision. The FNG Shaw, is a more serious roleplayer though that's not really what our group is into. We gleefully hack and slash our way to fun and glory. He invited me to join the next game he's going to run which should be awesome. I'll have to really get into character for that. We haven't really hung out outside of D&D but maybe i'll be able to change that by suggesting we go to dexcon or something. Tony, another from the group knows about it and has gone before.
Sadly Mario, Penny, Jeremy, and Pykus don't talk to me so often anymore. I don't really make an effort myself which is half the problem i'm sure. PS you all have LJs and will probably read this I HAVE MUCHKIN QUEST the munchkin board game we need to play it. Oh and Mario if you ever wanted to start a game of Deadwood I'm so up for it.
Despite all that, I'm sorta lonely (emo karl is emo) I just don't feel terribly close with anyone at the moment.
So, for the past 5 years, every time I've started exercising and putting myself back on track to having somewhat of a life something comes along and deter me from my path... this time is no different. So last friday my car's battery finally died so i missed work and fell asleep before i even thought about going for a walk. I found out saturday about some bad news. I have my usual upper respiratory infection i get every winter. Oh and we had a good amount snowfall in the past two days. So i stopped doing stuff... but i refused to not pick it back up... so tonight after work i'm pressing the reset button
I stole this from glebs wo stole it from neko who stole it from someone i don't know

So... I gotten to the point where I'm unhealthily overweight. Fusi and some others have been ragging on me to lose some weight for a while now. Finding motivation is the toughest part. This past weekend in Oregon was a fairly rude awakening. I was out of breath after 1 or 2 city blocks. My back has been in knots as of late, I can feel my self walking with very poor posture (waddling) and can't correct it. Tonight when i came home from work, Ailurodragon told me i should really get more excersize... we was rather kind about it "You don't need a 4x Minion Tshirt you need one less X." He convinced to simply go for a walk before I made this entry... I just got back from that walk... i feel really good. This is feeling i haven't had in a while. It's familiar and something i've been missing. . So there are some other things i need to do if i am to actually lose weight and they are as follows:.
"Stop Binge Eating" Come home from work eat one meal, go to bed, wake up, eat another meal. Depending on when i woke up eat dinner with the family. I see this as being my biggest issue. If i leave me room to take a piss or get some water i end up eating something be it peanut butter from the jar or whatever else is around the house. I need to stop drinking as much milk as i do as well.
"Put myself on a stricter sleep schedule" go to bed by 6-7am wake up around 2-3pm.
"Continue to do daily excersize no matter how I feel" I've always looked for someone to excersize with because it makes things easier to have someone else going through the same things with you and encouraging you but I simply don't have that. So I need to motivate myself. Walk twice a day Once after i get home from work after a short relaxation and once again when i wake up.
"Clearing your room" This has little to do with losing weight but it will help me feel better about myself rather then living like a slovb 24/7 because no one ever comes into my room besides me.
"Get a second Job" This will at the very least keep me out of the house and at best give me the moneys i so desperately need
