Its time to reminisce...
Thanks LiveJournal!! I can't believe how long it's been!! You're still there! Hallelujah!
Okay, I'm kinda acting... no harm in acting once in a while.
However, I did find this nifty Haiku generator in one of my posts from 2006, naturally.
Shweeeeet! Yeshh! That's a damn good Haiku... and I guess you could say I actually wrote it. :)
Oh and side note- add 3 hours to the time posted on my entries because I can't seem to change it to EST. And I'm very late for bed. K, bye.

antiques roadshow?
I couldn't be more pleased to finally show you my $5 work of art that I found at the Londonderry Flea Market a few weekends ago. (If you click on any of the pictures, you can zoom in a lot closer, if you're into that kind of a thing.) 
To be honest, I'm really impressed. The guy who sold it to me said he just bought it with a bunch of stuff from a couple who were moving to Florida. Thank you Floridians. :] What was once in your furnished basement is now in my room, awaiting a touch-up on the frame. On the back of the painting is a certificate from the artists' guild in New York City that says it was "faithfully reproduced" by lithography. Word.
Also found at this flea market are my $0.50 sunglasses!
Look at the crazy tiger thing! Thanks China. :] They're a little tight on the sides, but I think they look alright, they're in perfect condition and they're a pretty shade of green. They cost me 50 cents but I don't think Fiddy Cent, paid 50 cents for these, yo.

Alright time for more activities. Peace.

its not just hot, its not just humid... its humot.
Dumbest blog title ever. But anyway...
Today's going alright. Weak and Powerless is playing on Y-Rock right now, which is nice. I also heard a rather upbeat ska-like diddy from a UK band The Holloways, called "Generator". Which only reminds me of Holloway Commons. Someday I'll get Photoshop and I'll be able to pop myself right in there throwing my tray, like Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer.

Time to put up new curtains and get something to eeeeeatah.
Watch out for those freak-ass thunderstorms.

Boooooo
Mr. Smiley is not so smiley anymore.
In my own defense, I was rather busy today. I worked out.
I tried to join an online community, and I chatted with my mom and her bffl JoAnne.
I went with my cousin and we visited my Gram.
Met up with my boyfriend and we went mini golfing after failing to find HellBoy (1) at the local Movie Scene.
(note to self- don't search for "Movie Scene" in google images... waaaaay too vague)
Then we came back and looked at condo listings in MLS.
The end. Goodnight!

Brain fart
Whoops, so tonight I realized that I haven't posted in my blog for almost a week. I guess that's one of the cardinal sins in the blogging world. Hey, I'm new at this... I'll get the hang of it eventually.
(Not my kid, btw.)
So, I have a lot to catch up on, duh. I wish I had pictures from the RUSH concert on Friday night, but I don't have a camera phone and cameras weren't allowed anyhow. But maybe I can find a picture of the South Park RUSH clip they had. Ah, here we go:
That was pretty funny. Anywho, I'm not in the mood to type a whole lot right now; I'm just kind of "whatever guy"... or mellow and unfocused, to use real adjectives.
With that said, I shall return tomorrow to elaborate on my absence.

This just seems funny to me. Its supposed to sparkle...

Whooo let the dog's out? No, seriously... who let them out?
Well, today started off with a bang... I can't say that an argument isn't healthy every so often. Still, it can really get your adrenaline pumping and it can take a bit to come down from. All because I locked the screen door... I try to please everyone, I really do. I fall into the "people-pleasers" category. It's kind of starting to wear on me though; especially when I can tell if you don't truly care. But now we're reverting to the times of the LiveJournal, where the internet made you tell people how you really feel... c'mon- you know you had a fight on there with somebody. Just like Joey and Linda here...
Anywho, I need to wrap up this post so I can Turbo Jam while my parents are out. :] Hi-YAH!
I'll leave you with this adorable dog, Nova, that I really would like to adopt and the thought that maybe you have enough time to adopt a dog as well....
He's a 3 year old Daschund/Beagle cross. Awwwwwwwww x a million.
G'day.

"I'm comin for that numba one spot!"
Hey there! Welcome to Anne's blog that tastes like water...
I'd just like to start out with a recipe from Martha Stewart that I -pleasantly- stumbled across in a feed from SeriousEats.com. I enjoyed the reference that someone left in a comment about the recipe, as they called it "Crack N'Cheese" because it costs about 30 bucks to make... which is approximately $26.01 more than it should be. Make it for Christmas, maybe? Thanks Martha.
Okay, so on to a more serious topic. I don't want to give too much away just yet, but I spoke with someone today who gave me some nice thoughts to decipher about one's self-esteem. [moving into the present tennnnnse, now!]
You might think you want to try to fit into a type of box ---> [] that most people don't even fit into. When teasing is all that you hear for so long, it's hard to believe the compliments that you DO receive, even if you think they're true. Childhood memories can be hard to forget, but you reach a point of maturity where you can decide to change the way you feel about yourself. You can re-train your brain to believe positive messages- much like you re-train your brain to learn new information. If you can write down "I am beautiful" and "I am feminine" on a paper and say it out loud, and then say it to yourself in the mirror- then you can re-train your brain and develop a positive image about yourself.
[reversing back to the past-tenseeeee .~ >#$@>$%$656] This person also admitted to the cliche nature of the suggestion but the truth in it as well. (Well, I guess that's what a cliche is- even though you've heard it a million times and you can't stand it when you hear them, they're TRUE anyway! In yo' face!) So maybe I'll decipher that advice a bit more and see where it brings me... perhaps I'll fill you in with all the minute details later on when you're up at 12:42 am and looking for a distraction. ;]
Speaking of distraction, I watched "I Love the 80's 3D 1980" and "1981" as well tonight. I wasn't born quite yet, but I was born close enough. The comedians and the celebrities that VH1 manages to get to comment on that stuff so candidly really makes the show consistently watchable. Some of my favorite folks on there are:
Pretty much all the VH1 shows about loving decades are amusing, even you aren't familiar with all of the cultural references. I just can't believe they aren't waiting a little longer to shows the Millenium ones... I guess they're getting a head start so they can cover more shhhtuff. Shrug.
Well that's it for my first entry. I can't promise that much enthusiasm and gripping suspense every time, but I'll give it a good solid run. Goodnight.

Macaroni and Cheese 101
- serves 12 -
Adapted from The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics.
Ingredients
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for casserole
6 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4- to l/2-inch pieces
5 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for water
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 1/2 cups (about 18 ounces) grated sharp white cheddar cheese
2 cups (about 8 ounces) grated Gruyère or 1 1/4 cups (about 5 ounces) grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 pound elbow macaroni
Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place the bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour the melted butter into the bowl with the bread, and toss. Set the breadcrumbs aside.
2. Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. When the butter bubbles, add the flour. Cook, stirring, 1 minute.
3. While whisking, slowly pour in the hot milk a little at a time to keep mixture smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick, 8 to 12 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyère (or 1 cup Pecorino Romano); set the cheese sauce aside.
5. Cover a large pot of salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook the macaroni until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir the macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyère (or 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano), and the breadcrumbs over the top. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer the dish to a wire rack for 5 minutes; serve.
RAAARGH! BACK OFF JERKHEAD!
