[livejournal.com profile] miome just made this dickerdoodle picture her background.

Still keeping her title of pervert girlfriend. XD

New flash!

Despite what some people might tell you, the reason we have a lobster on our Christmas tree is not because he was boiled for our sins.

I am back home with my kitties and my girlfriend. Life is good except for the fact I have a butt load of schoolwork to do and I got no kind of writing done.

But kitties! And girlfriend!

[livejournal.com profile] miome is cooking a big thing of onions in the crockpot. I love when she does this because it makes it super (and not supper like I originally typed) easy to use in stews or to serve over beef with mushrooms. I cannot stand half-cooked onions and this guarantees that they will be done.

The problem is that for the duration of the cook time, we cannot be in the apartment because the air because thick with onion vapor. Meaning your eyes get irritated beyond belief. The cats don't see to mind or care, but it drives us both bananas. As soon as Miome gets out of the shower, we're going to find something else to do today.

Sigh. And I was hoping to have the first draft of story finished today. Still might. Though before I'm posting it, I'm going to rewrite it because it needs it.

1) Went to an art fair on Saturday. Miome and I wandered for two hours and still did not see all the booths. It was huge and awesome. And sometimes expensive. There was one lady selling simple knitted hats for $65 and people were buying them. The only thing special about them was that they were felted. Well hell, I can churn out one of those suckers using my round loom in an afternoon. If I'd known all I needed to do was felt the damn thing, I could have practically paid for my books this year. What a deal!

2) I bought a ceramic fish. I know this sounds crazy, but my grandfather was an avid fisherman. I can remember summers with him spent fishing. When he moved to GA from NC, he had to leave behind the large bass he had mounted on his wall. My mom said no way. He really wanted a fish to hang on his door, but my mom wanted something non-tacky. While at the art fair, I found one modeled from a real small-mouth bass. I bought it and am going to mount it on a nice board with my grandfather's last name beneath it. It'll be classy and a fish. My mom will not be able to complain.

3) Realized that I somehow lost a week. All the stuff for my internship isn't due until the week after next, meaning I could spend this weekend relaxing and not stressing. Awesome.

4) Turned the entire windowsill full of roma tomatoes from my plant into vegetable broth and pizza sauce. Next time I have got to remember to remove the skins before I boil them. I didn't think it would matted once they were blended up, but it does.

5) Called my sister so we could continue our plans for my mom's 60th birthday party. It's a secret. She doesn't know we're trying to get most of the family to come to a big party for lunch. She just thinks we're going to go out to eat with her. Heh. We are so devious.

Now to go to bed. If I can pull Miome away from the fanfic she's currently reading.

I know what day it is!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] miome!

The kitties also wish you a happy birthday.



Er... well maybe "happy" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Be safe. I'll see you when you get home. I LOVE YOU!

PS- You can no longer make "dating an older woman" jokes now that you're the same age as me again. :P

On Saturday, [livejournal.com profile] miome and I went to Home Depot. The thing about the Home Depot near us is that most of the registers have been replaced by self-checkout machines. There are many places where I love this idea because the machines are well thought out, intuitive, easy to use, and make my life quicker and easier.

The Home Depot machines fail on all these counts )

Watch the flail

It is exactly three weeks until my birthday.

(This is placed here just so I can watch [livejournal.com profile] miome flail when she reads it and realizes she hasn't gotten me anything yet. I like pulling her pigtails. XD)

Also many of you will notice that I have been posting a whole lot less and no stories have been forthcoming. This is because April is my last month of classes and I have a scientific poster, a term paper, an annotated bibliography, and three finals to study for by the end of the month. Did I mention that the conference in Boston I'm attending falls right in the middle of this causing me to lose about four days? Yeah. This is not going to be a fun month. Hell, I'm working on stuff all during the weekends in the vain hope of keeping it from piling up and causing my brain to ooze out of my ears. On the plus side, once May hits I should be able to write again.

Until then, expect sporadic updates at best.

Dreams are weird

Last night, I had a dream where Dean and Sam had died. Only they were then reincarnated as incestuous redneck hill-billies who were running from the police in a cherry red pick-up truck with a CB antenna large enough to be a hazard to low flying planes. I don't remember why they were running from the police - something to do with a robbery and possibly shooting someone. All I know is that they were taunting the police with clues of where they were heading next written on pages torn out of a Death Note. They had no idea what the Death Note was good for.

I told [livejournal.com profile] miome about it this morning. "That would really suck. Can you imagine? 'Dear Officer Gordan...' and miles away, officer Gordan has a heart attack and dies."

XD

Well, poo.

[livejournal.com profile] miome will be getting in sometime after midnight.

Today (a Saturday) I had to get up at the butt crack of dawn to drop [livejournal.com profile] miome off at the airport. We had allotted an hour between her getting there and her getting on the plane. Little did we know that the Indiana DOT had decided that this morning was the perfect morning to shut down one of the major highways. Fun, fun. Miome did make her flight, but it was a close thing.

I'm going to miss her for the next several days.

Winter fun

[livejournal.com profile] miome and I went to dinner and then a Winter Solstice Festival that was put on by one of the local museums. It was a lot of fun, but man, I am wiped.

Miome: This "Final Project" boss is harder than you thought.
Tsaiko: Yeah, he's really kicking my ass.
Miome: You should have leveled up more before tackling him.
Tsaiko: LOL.

In other news, the map for my final project corrupted yet again, leaving me to believe there's something wrong with one of my data layers or the path names to the files (searching on the internet suggests that anyway). The only problem is that it won't even open the map so I can fix the path names. Sigh. Will be rebuilding it again on Monday. The good part of this is every time I rebuild it, I refine it even more and solve another problem. Two steps forward and one step back.

EDIT: Oh course body, I would love to have my period right now. Thanks. -_-

She put her pants back on and is braving the bitter cold to go to the store and get me stomach medicine because we can't find where we packed the stuff when we moved. I would have gone with her, but I was afraid I'd throw-up if I did. Ugh. At least the Sprite seems to be settling my stomach a bit so I'm not as nauseated.

Also, my internet connection is acting really screwy. I can't even access my email without it timing out. [livejournal.com profile] maderr, I'll email you my address tomorrow from work.

Last night, [livejournal.com profile] miome presented me with a carrot cake she had made topped with very, very good not too sweet cream cheese icing. Why the cake? As a "thank you" for...

Dear self,

You cannot use the University labs to print out a Victorian lesbian vampire story. No one is going to believe that it's for "research" even if you are now part of a liberal arts department.

The answer is still no.

No love,
Tsaiko

Yeah!

[livejournal.com profile] miome is here at the apartment, if you were wondering why I suddenly dropped off. The cats survived the trip and seem to be settling in just fine. They especially love the sliding glass door leading to the balcony. I imagine to them it's like having a wall sized TV.

The movers seemed to think that Wed. was going to be when our stuff would be here. We shall see.

WHEE!

Not yet at the apartment though. Sooooon.

Today I decided to do something I had never done before today. I made fried eggplant for dinner.

It turned out pretty good, except I was absolutely shocked at how much olive oil eggplant soaked up. Even having been warned and even salting it for an hour before hand, it still, soaked up an obscene amount of oil. You would think that this would make the eggplant greasy. Nope. The smaller pieces were a little off, but I think that's because I didn't cook them long enough because I was alarmed at the fact that the pan started smoking a bit because all the oil was being soaked up. This after I put more oil in three times.

Saved several slices to have tomorrow night. I imagine cold fried egg plant won't taste as good as warm fried eggplant, but oh well. I'll just throw it on some bread with some sliced turkey and use it as an addition to the sandwich.

I'm female and I'm putting a TMI warning up. You guess what this is about. )

Did I mention that [livejournal.com profile] miome is moving up two weekends from now? I thought she was coming up on the first of August, but turns out she's moving before that. *does the happy dance* I've got to do some cleaning. Since I have no furniture, I've just been putting everything on the floor. ^^;

SOON!

I DON'T WANNA GO BACK.

This was a stupid idea. I can't believe [livejournal.com profile] miome won't be coming to Indianapolis for another 3 1/2 weeks.

Where's Tsaiko?

tsaiko: Gif of a lemming falling off an edge (whee)
So where did Tsaiko and [livejournal.com profile] miome spend last night? It wasn't our NC apartment. Nope. The hot water heater isn't just broken. The entire bottom is rusted out. I suspect that this is because no maintenance has ever been done on the poor thing. Even I know you need to periodically drain a water heater to prevent sediment building up and damaging the bottom. Anyway, the entire thing needs to be replaced and until it is, we are essentially without water. Our landlord is going to attempt to get it replaced today, but I personally don't hold out much hope.

Not exactly the relaxing vacation I was hoping for, but at least Miome and the cats are here. ^^

*happy dance*

I had someone bump my car on the way to the airport, pull up beside me, mouth I'm sorry, and drive off. Fucker. If I hadn't been pressed for time I would have called the police and reported her for a hit and run. See how sorry that would have made her. I don't think there was any damage (I honestly forgot to check since the shuttle from the parking lot to the airport was right there). Still, I cannot repeat the words that came out of my mouth when I realized what had happened. They were not pretty.

The trip from Indianapolis to DC was characterized by a screaming child behind me. Lovely. I'm still nauseated from the flight. Didn't get motion sick, just kind of blah. Flying does that to me sometimes.

It was worth it though because I am in NC on my couch with my girlfriend.

Also, one cat is grooming me and the other cat welcomed me home by horking up a hairball onto the carpet.

That pretty much sums up my day.

Soon my precious...

tsaiko: Gif of a lemming falling off an edge (silly love)
By this time tomorrow, I will be in NC with my girlfriend, my cats, and a bed that doesn't require me to blow it up in order to sleep comfortably.

I cannot wait till the end of the month when everything gets moved to Indianapolis.

Who am I?
