Re: Blog Thread IIIa : Look Who's Blogging Now
Allybee:
back from the zen mountain monastery. I really liked being there. not sure if I could ever live there permanently (I don't think I'll ever get the world completely out of my system...) but as my friend said, you don't ever think you can until you do. I could see myself living for a month there. I really actually just want to sleep now because were waking up at 4:25 AM to meditate before dawn but it's 7:30 right now and that's too early for bed!

I bought a book years and years ago because I was going to make a cookbook of things I make a lot so that it's all in one spot and I don't have to rummage for that one particular book which has an unlabelled list of ingredients when I want to make a certain thing. I brought it with me to Sydney when i got given some cookbooks my mum made for me for christmas, thinking I could go through that and find out which of those meals I actually liked and put it in my own cookbook.
I did the whole process of remembering where i put that one notebook that i had written the recipe for pancakes in to see what I needed to buy after work (I want to make pancakes/pikelets for shrove tuesday) and I looked at the aforementioned unlabelled list of ingredients and decided to bite the bullet and write it into my designated cookbook. It was then that I realised that I didn't really know the official process for making the pancakes, i just would chuck everything into a bowl and mix it up before cooking it until they were cooked. That is kinda how I wrote the instructions because it is just for me and I know how to make fuckin' pancakes.
I am probably going to still write recipes on scraps of paper and search for them and all that, but if I make something more than three times and i like it, it is going into the cookbook. I have to write up the ridiculously easy brownie recipe that I have now. It also means I should try out some of the recipes in that cookbook of mum's, but it all seems like too much effort?

so um, i guess i never backed up my shit. just manually restored all my bookmarks. thank god for my habit of screenshotting shit. i don't have the stuff that was in the bookmark folder but at least i have my constantly used bookmark bar back. (though i don't have the direct URL for the meebo chat room, oh well, it's 98% good)
and then i re-logged in to all the sites i visit on a daily basis
i really need to cut down my internet dependency. fuuuck, dude.
this took too long. time to write this paper
thank god it's only supposed to be three pages
sorry for all the line breaks
oh yeah and first thing i did when i finished restoring everything was use the backup function so this NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN
also i posted this in the photo thread apparently where it remained for like five minutes before i noticed and was like "hey wait a minuuuuuute"

Just posted Prudence, my beloved Fender Jaguar, on Craigslist :cry:
God I'm going to miss that old girl, she's treated me so well for 4 years. But I need a car. I need a car. It's an unavoidable fact when you live in the poor bit of suburban America and you have ambitions for a better life. I need a car so I can get a second job so I can support myself, get my own place, get health insurance, get more music gear, and make a proper career out of my music. Having a lady who lives in another town is also a motivating factor, although my priorities aren't what they used to be (read: they're more geared toward making sure my life is in order first and foremost).
I'm so broken up over making this call but I have to. I absolutely have to. If I don't do it I'm just going to continue getting nowhere in life, living in my friend's house with him and his mom, just two blocks away from the projects.
In happier news, I've spent the week cleaning my room. My bestie Lukas came over to help today, and we got a metric fuckload done. All I've left to do is change my sheets and do laundry (and find a place for said laundry to go once it's clean) and I'll be good to go. My lady is coming down from Davis on Thursday, and I'm definitely looking forward to having a presentable bedroom to cuddle in. Lukas and I will be able to use my room to record in instead of one of the spare rooms, which will make my landlady mighty happy. And now I'm able to get into my bed without climbing over a mountain of clothing, amps, and various other bits of god knows what.
Tomorrow I'll be going with Lukas to his family's ranch until Wednesday. I'm going to do everything I can to get some Argonauts originals written and recorded with him so we can stop being a damned cover band. I want so desperately for this all to get off the ground... anybody who has ever felt trapped in a stagnant period of their life totally must feel me on this.
Jimmy the Squid:
I feel you, dogg. I'm glad your life is less shit than it was.
