How was YOUR day?? the sequel
How was your Day 2 (general chat)
-
-
Well, my day was spent watching movies, walking to the store, enjoying the weather, and being on here. I didn't have to work this weekend.
-
Well, i'm scheming how to marry Wolfwood since he (or she? I'm really bad at this guys) seems to be a really good cook.
Also: Thank you so much for going Old Yeller on the old Thread Taboo. That last pages were a mess.
Working thru some stuff. Dunno how long i will be here.

I don't really care about gender. Love is asexual, man. And what you cook sound delicious. At least from what i read. So go ahead and be a darling and stuff yourself into a sack while i figure how to get to Europe so i can steal you. I'll call it old-fashioned and i'll eat chocolate until i die. We'll figure everything else later.

Today was a good day.

A relative of one my high school classmates was murdered while in his car today :sad:

Jesus christ that's awful. Do they have any idea why he was targeted?

I'm so sorry to hear that, please, be strong.
Anything, PM me.
My day was productive, I attended a workshop to learn how to do minor repairs on damaged books. The theory I had learned in college, but practice is another story. I liked it because I managed to repair a damaged book all by myself (well, with the help of the teacher) and also because I also managed to make new friends…I´m proud of myself.
Another thing, my quiz game has begun.:ninja::ninja::ninja:

I was thinking about making a cold noodle salad with a sweet chili sauce to take with me tomorrow.
Except my fricking noodles have expired. I'll just take this as a hint that i really need to kick up my asian cooking lol.

Not such a good day today…last night my lady friend and I got home from dinner to find our hamster's cage on the floor in pieces and Rufus nowhere to be seen. We looked all over for him but could not find the little guy. We were worried because we have two cats as well and he was loose around the apartment. Still being hopeful, we set up his cage on the floor with a small trail of food leading to it and we hoped he would scamper back into it and everything would be fine.
This morning however, we met an unpleasant sight. I got up and went to our laundry hamper and the stepped in something I can't even describe...needless to say, one of our cats found the unlucky guy and had himself a midnight snack...my lady friend is distraught. :(

I only hope my cats would do that to my roommate's rat. So annoying and it pees everywhere.
My day was pretty great. First day of summer classes. Feels nice to do something other than work and sleep all day. By this time tomorrow, I'll officially be a student again, which means I don't have to pay back loans yet. Yay x.X

It's 6 in the morning and i haven't been able to sleep. And what's worse is that i have to make a lunch box before i leave.
So the train leaves at 11, and i need atleast an hour to cook, and half an hour to shower and get ready.
Yeah this should be fun.
-
An hour to cook? Oh man, that's explains why i'm so bad in the kitchen. The most common sentence i say is something among the lines "Eh, it's not red/white anymore. Good to go".
Working thru some stuff. Dunno how long i will be here.

For clarification, since I'll never call her by what she's supposed to be, my roommate's rat:

Now i can only imagine a cartoon where you try to get rid of her (The dog's a she in the cartoon) only to be thwarted and then you yell "One day i'll get you Privateer Snuggle-Wiggles (yes, that's her name)" It would be called Rei and Privatter Snuggle-Wiggles and it will air on The Hub.
Yeah, the flu has me hallucinating.

Just finished my last exam of high school. It feels really surreal being done with everything, but now I'M FREE!1 (until college starts in the fall)
-
Wow so I bought four packs/bags of oranges and each one was sufficiently heavier than expected that the machine challenged me! I am proud of my orange selection.
Then I saw some people punting on the river … these swans were swimming right up close and they tried to take pictures. And then one of the swans snapped at their hands :p Their reactions were funny.
That made my day. Tomorrow, the dreaded exam number 1. Oh wait, that's the easy one. But still -.-
-
My brother and I took our father out for his birthday. Had a delicious breakfast at IHOP.
also I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday…..saw a 3-in-1 edition of One Piece volumes 25-27. I forgot what volume my collection was up to.....darn it, turns out I needed it. It would've been a great deal.
-
I feel frustrated, sad, annoyed and eternally tired.
So many things are weighing on me at the moment and I just want to lay down, curl up and cry. And punch something while shouting.

With preparations and washing up an hour is the bare minimum.
But i mean if you are doing something big then it could be three, four hours.

Why is it that the best food always takes so long to do?
For some reason, though, when I've spent that kind of time on a meal, I always appreciate it so much more once it enters my mouth. It could just be the anticipation, but I always get the sense that I can almost taste the hard work that went into it.
-
God, i can't manage work emmergencies when i'm this sick. i feel a bird tearing apart my throat everytime i breathe. This one is really bad but i'll let my boss handle it X.x

Eh as long as you pick the proper protein or vegetable for the right method time isn't that big of a factor.
I mean you don't just sear a chuck steak and expect it to be tender, and you don't slow cook a filet.
But i reckon it's because one takes the time to do it properly, no rushing things to get to the climax quicker

That's true. It's just something that I've noticed in general about longer preparations, though: Brined poultry is so much better than just marinated. Stews, chilis, and slow cooker meals always seem to just come out so friggin' good, too. Dry aged beef > air chilled. I posted that thing about artichokes a little while back, too.
Sometimes I feel like I've become such a foodie that it's turned into a complex. When I cook for myself, I do it right, but if I don't have the motivation, I just won't do it at all. Like I'd rather starve than eat poorly prepared food.

Is everything alright Nolus? Something that you need to talk about or any way that AP can help you? (I don't kill people for free, tho).

On the subject of food, I wish I knew how to cook more than I do. At best I just buy stuff at the store and follow the generic recipes on some of the boxed stuff.
Today I went to the Maritime Museum in Greenwich, and really liked a lot that they had on display, and almost went to the Royal Observatory, but ran out of time, unfortunately.
And our study abroad group is having a contest. I have to find an obscure site of literary/historical significance, and I'm trying to brainstorm some ideas. I saw a statue on the mast of the Cutty Sark and wondered if it was a statue of a klabautermann, but nothing pops up on google that supports the idea, but I'm still searching.
Tomorrow we have a day trip to Oxford, so I'm excited to explore that.

! I think I'm just a little overwhelmed with everything nowadays. Finals can be excruciating. It also doesn't help that I wish my brother wouldn't live here. And that I couldn't really talk with my love these past week or so, because he sleeps when I'm awake and is awake when I sleep (at night) (also, his internet is shitty). I feel lonely and he's like "just talk to the others" which I do, daily, but I still miss him. But I've might have gone too far? I don't know. I'm so confused and wish I could start this day over and haven't said those things… I can'T help but feel I've screwed up. I just... want it to be next week, Friday, so I can apoligize (hopefully in person) to him... and that we can talk finally. I fear I might've annoyed him and now he doesn't want me anymore?
I need to study…

Oh Nolus, you're a Darling. I know life can sometimes be hard and pressure be awful but don't worry about it cause you'll always get out of it stronger of relieved. Sometimes things seem hard and we say things we regret but we can apologize and talk about it and reconcile, you just have to do it. Just don't be afraid to express that feeling. I'm sure he will understand and don't get disheartened; sometimes it can be a toll but i'm sure it will be worth it :3

Flavours do tend to become more complex and deep over time. Atleast in stews and such.
But i'm thinking that it'd be fun, once one masters (if there exists such a thing as mastery) the traditional ways, to try to cut corners and get those flavours done in a lesser amount of time. Like what measures could one take to simulate the taste of a slowly cooked ragu.

I tend to eat something easy and filling before i cook, and as you cook, you taste bits here and there through the tasting.
But, as i've surely noted before, i find the process of cooking to be much more intersting than eating.

I sure hope that's how it'll be… I'm so afraid right now that I've messed it up. I just hope he has the same feelings as I do.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our very own real-life Komatsu!
Do pursue your dreams, wolfwood. And then tell me all of your secrets. (Livebearerface)

I need someone to talk to. I need something to quell the roaring emptiness inside me.

This phony honor code that puts you on your throne, a double standard you invoke when you want~
-
Well, just tell him. Communication will always be the best solution to a problem.
Except when chocolate cake i available.
Fuck, i love chocolate cake.
I tried, but communication is kinda hard with these circumstances I'm facing with right now (his shitty net and strange sleep patterns because of exams).

I'm here man but i have a fuckin crazy case of flu so if mid PM i start writing Happy by Pharrell Williams i do Apologize.

Maybe try another kind of message that he sees when he wakes up? I don't think you can train a pigeon to do transcontinental trips tho :(
And yes, the cake part sounded mildly sexual xD

I have no idea who that is, but i'm sure it's a grand compliment.
But man i wish i could just get a chance one of these days. This waiting is killing me

Not a Toriko fan, I take it? It's a good manga, and it's about food so you might enjoy it.
It's no SNS, though. More of a One Piece feel than that one.

It's the protagonist of Toriko, a Manga that is male harem oriented. He just goes around seducing people in the world. Big Muscly dudes. Sometimes he cooks.

Well, I sent him a message on facebook. A really short one. I guess that's the most I can do now.

B-but Toriko's the protagonist!
Komatsu's cool because he's a genius chef, basically. And a real swell guy, I might add.

A guy asked me for help, he wanted to make a poetry against the FIFA World Cup with a Dubstep background and also, my supervisor said that to me, "Since you started to work here, we had so many teenagers attending our library." That´s a good thing ? Right ?
And also, I´m sick, sore throat and coughs, so that means no dance in the weekend :sad:.
I just hate to cough..:getlost:
