Hey, it was fifty cents at the used bookstore and I actually bought it with my dad in mind. He likes the movie (dunno about the comics though). I just wanted to read it before passing it on to him.

On to some Lovecraft. Steve found the book! Yay Steve!

Had sushi with coworkers (+ husband and daughters of one of them) and it was tasty and tons o' fun. That accidental lobster roll was tasty. :9 Caterpillar roll, yum. Super white tuna, mmm. Scallops were... okay. Kind of weird tasting but I wanted to try them. Baked green mussels, yes.

Also, I was being social.(??!!)

I bought a Tamagotchi.

I turned it on half an hour ago. Named it (Eddie), fed it, played with it, got its happy/hungry stats all good.

Then it crapped and went to sleep.

I can't clean the poop when it's asleep!!! It's sleeping in its own filth!

Ew, Eddie.

Or maybe it's not so lame when you consider that I've never taken any law classes and I'm a bankruptcy paralegal.

Steve's got all these Steven Brust books sitting around so I figured I'd read 'em. Save myself some money/a trip to the library. Though, he's missing a couple books from the series I'm reading.

ROAST BEEF

2009-06-19T02:42:31Z

ROAST BEEF
1/2 SLICED WHITE ONION
1 CLOVE CHOPPED GARLIC
YELLOW MUSTARD
LEMON JUICE
SALT-FREE ALL-PURPOSE SEASONING
2 PACKETS PAPA JOHN'S SPECIAL SEASONING
SOME RED PEPPER
BLACK PEPPER

PUT MUSTARD AND SPICES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MEAT, I MEAN, RUB IT ON THERE REAL GOOD.
GET A CONTAINER BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE MEAT. ADD WATER AND A COUPLE SQUIRTS OF LEMON JUICE. PUT THE MEAT IN THERE WITH THE ONIONS AND GARLIC. LET IT SIT IN THE FRIDGE ALL NIGHT. GO TO BED.

WAKE UP!!! REMEMBER THAT MEAT? DUMP ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE CONTAINER INTO THE CROCK POT. SET THE CROCK POT ON LOW AND COOK FOR HOURS AND HOURS (8, 10, WHATEVS).

TAKE THE MEAT OUT, PUT ON A BOARD OR PLATTER OR WHATEVER.

SCOOP THE ONIONS OUT, TOO. THEY'RE GOOD AS WELL.

EAT!!!!

It's pretty tasty. You'll have a lot of yummy broth left over, too. We dumped it out, but maybe next time I'll have stew ingredients on hand and make a stew with it for the next night's meal. It's a bit spicy and tangy, but would be pretty hearty. And then you could probably make shepherd's pie with the leftovers.

WE'VE GOT WORK AGAIN!!

We got a ton of new cases this week so far, hooray!! I was busy all day Monday, all day Tuesday, and all day today. More than all day today, actually, since I clocked in at 6:53am and clocked out at 5pm. Awesome.

I saw Caroline at Curves today, yay!!

I made delicious dinner tonight, yay!! Well actually I just cooked the chicken; the corn and the mashed potatoes were heat-n-serve.

I have a roast marinating in the fridge and it will go in the crock pot tomorrow with onions and garlic. If it is good, I will tell you what I used. If it is not good, you will probably not hear anything more about it.

Um. So, yeah.

Oohhhh.

It was a another good night at the bar last night.

Live music makes it so much fun.

Some guy bought everyone a shot of something (Steve said he thought it might've been Jack Daniels) to toast the musician at the end. I totally didn't need that but you don't turn down free booze. I gargled with cider to get the taste out of my mouth, gah.

Twinkies afterward, and then a drunk text to naught, who then called and was therefore subjected to my drunken rambling for ten minutes. I've known him online for about fourteen years and that was the first time we've ever talked on the phone.

I think I tried to chew on Steve a few times throughout the night.

I remember waking up, sprawled out on the bed, and most of what happened just prior to being passed out for an hour or so.

Quite dehydrated. Took my contacts out and all that, got into bed and stared at the ceiling. Steve fell asleep before I did. I wondered if I'd be sick before I managed to fall asleep. No. I did eventually wake up and got rid of the contents of my stomach, and felt much better afterward. Back to bed, up around noon after trying to rouse Steve a couple times.

Chocolate milk and some computer time, called Mom to wish her and Dad a happy anniversary (it being on Flag Day makes it easy for me to remember), got Steve to wake up.

Showered, went to Walgreens to pick up a few items (a bunch of the makeup was on sale, thankfully; I hate paying ten bucks for a little thing of concealer), came back home for a cheese sandwich and a Pepsi ("made with real sugar!") and now here I am, probably about to scan a few of the drunkendoodles I did.

I have commissions to work on, too.

Hey so who's listened to the new Marilyn Manson album? Four Rusted Horses is my new favorite song. WOW is my second favorite.
