So... today I worked a 7 hour shift, downed 6 sudafed, spent most of my time at the cut table and... ate two bites of banana bread between 9 am and 7:30 PM. Not smart.
I did cook awesomely tasty corn stew with pork when I got home. (Japan and it's stew and curry roux-based recipies are the sum total of my cooking abilities.) While cooking I cranked up my ipod and got a lovely chain of songs going, including a fair amount of Arashi and some Aoyama Thelma, Amuro Namie and Kanon. I always need to remember that /nothing/ can turn my mood around like ten or twenty minutes in a room where I can sing my lungs out with impunity. Seriously. Try it sometime.

Then, I vegged out for a while with fic, until Jess got home. We cleaned up the apartment quite a bit, which makes me feel ten times better about the state it will be in for the weekend.

Also! Happy Birthdays to: Joe (9/24), Kirihara (9/25), Nikki (from work 9/27)!! We Libras are pretty awesome people, no? ^__^

Today was rather satisfying, even if I was exhausted for all of it.
I was into work early and we made some pretty massive progress on truck.
Did four interviews at work (actually conducted 3, Boss did the last), all of whom seem pretty competent interesting people. Excited for tomorrow's group and to get some new help in for us.

Before that, I even took a lunch and actually came home and cooked during it, even if it was just Ramen. Once home I picked up Jess's baking project (Banana bread) without burning anything AND cooked me dinner for tonight and lunch for tomorrow. Food/Bentou Rambles ensue )

I even did most of the dishes from all those cooking projects! This isn't a big deal or an achievement for real grown-ups, I know, but it's a big step for me. ^_^

On my list for tonight are a letter of recommendation for one of the girls at work and finalizing my letter of recommendation requests for JET (scary!). Though I may take a small break to play some video games. >.> We'll see.

So... just as soon as I gave up on that personal screen printing machine...
Demos start in the Superstores on February 28th. Damnit I WANT ONE!!! (I'm wondering how fast I can get a SKU and special order one... hopefully with a coupon before they switch the fine print.) Nevermind the fact that this - like the cricut machines and most embroidery machines - could be a massive money-sink in terms of supplies. The site has no prices up yet, and the JAS website is no help at all yet.

I have plans to do things today, but now my brain is full of screen printing and wood block printing and other nonsense.

I did successfully make Omuraisu for breakfast though, which was /fabulous/. And cheap. Am very excited about the potential of this for future... though I don't think it would keep all that well overnight, so probably can't take it to work.

Those close to me might know that I bought a very small Zojirushi Bentou set with some of my christmas money.
Since I got it, I've packed three lunches in it and eaten two of them.
So far I'm not having any trouble at all with the portion size. I eat fast when I eat at work, and what I'm packing has been more than enough to keep me going through my whole day. This is doubly impressive when you know how hard I work.
I'm usually taking a bottle of tea to work with these (my current favorites are Snapple Asian Pear Green or Itoen Teas' Tea Peach), which doesn't fit in my tiny bentou, but that's ok. ^_^
I'm going to try to keep notes for myself, so that when I inevitably get bored, I'll have some inspiration to try different things or things that I liked.

Lunch babbles 1 )

Now, last post for the night and time for sleepies.
I'm in love with my music again. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I need to remember that the next time I start getting cranky.

I did call and Hokuto will be leaving my posession tomorrow though! Huzzah!

I'm still enough of a geek that this map amused me to no end.

I also cooked food for breakfast this morning. It was tasty. It only took me 10 minutes, and if I have an apple with it it was pretty balanced. Total supplies cost well under $5... probably more like $1.50. Cooking is cheap!
