   Rub-a-dub-dub...

A Panda in a tub! I told you guys I would post a continuation of the tour of my house. It has been totally crazy busy for me lately. I am so far behind hopefully this update will make sense and not just be me rambling like the loon I normally am. I did finally get the review posted for Princess Tutu so if you get a chance, check it out and leave me a comment. Now, let's get on with the tour! I decided that doing all the hallway, bathroom and utility room would be too image heavy so I just opted for the hall to the bathroom and the bathroom itself. From the kitchen. This picture is taken from the kitchen. The first door to the right is the bathroom. The door to the left and a bit farther down the hall is the utility room which leads into the garage. Not much to say about this hallway. It's a hallway. In the middle of it is a dog toy if you are wondering what it is. Oh and to the direct left of where I am standing when taking this picture is another hallway which leads to the living room. I'll show you that hallway when I show you the secret of the screen. ~_^ The end of the hall, directly across from the utility room is another hallway towards the bedrooms. From the tub. This is what you would see if you stepped out of the tub...well, hopefully you would have the door closed not like I do in this picture. LOL Just a simple sink, medicine cabinet (that you all know I don't keep my meds in) and a large mirror. Not much to talk about here. Oh, you can kind of see my soap dispenser which is the Soft Soap one with the panda on the inside. You don't think I would have a room totally void of pandas now do you?! From the doorway. So, here is what the curtain looks like. I have a cabin theme in my guest bath and guest bedroom. The curtain has leaves, bears, trees, fish and moose on it. The curtain hooks have little fish on them. Yes, the bathmat matches and I have the towels too. On the shelf you can see on the upper left is some candles and a little moose insense burner. It's this anthropomorphic moose who is smoking a pipe. So when you light the incense it looks like he is smoking. It's pretty cute. Well, that is about it. As long as I am feeling well I am going to continue the tour with some more of the hallway, the utility room and yet another hallway. Let's just say this part of my house is a "cloister of trials". Lucky I am good at Final Fantasy huh. I would never get out. No worries, the only "boss" fight you might have is with my ill-tempered Siamese cat or be bumped into by my dog Brynner. :P Comment on Comments Everyone: Thanks for the get well wishes. I really do appreciate it. The cold weather really messes with my RA and makes my joints hurt. It truly has been an adventure the past few days. You guys rock.

   I need a prize...

I survived Thanksgiving weekend! Ok, super quick update. RA is acting up. Here are the highlights of my (mis)adventures. Thursday - Posted my review of "The Fuccons" on the front page of theO. Go read. - Thanksgiving with John's family and my family. Great. Ate lots, good conversation, lots of left overs. - Brynner knocked my dad over. Dad went into the corner of a wall, he got a cut under his eye. Brynner feels bad. - Ate more leftovers. Friday - John and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary! - Our furnace broke and we had no heat in the house. Wasted most of day waiting for repairman. - Used money for nice evening out to pay repairman. - Decorated the outside of the house with Christmas decorations in the freezing cold. Some snow. Couldn't find all the lights. - Went out in the evening and bought the new FMA collector's tin and the new Karaoke Revolution Party. Both rock much. - Ate leftovers. - Felt sick from my meds. Saturday - Played Karaoke Revolution and watched FMA. - John cleaned the aquarium. Went to pet store, bought some new fish. - Felt Meh. - Found basket of forgotten dog toys in garage. Dogs very happy. - Finished leftovers! Sunday - Slept in, awoke to the sound of someone on the roof. - John put new lights on the house. Still can't find the old ones. - Spent time with the dogs. - Feel really sore, hate RA. - First day of not eating leftovers. I guess that is about it. I will continue the tour of my house tomorrow. It's just been a bit of a crazy few days for me. I need a vacation from this Thanksgiving weekend! Phew! I survived! I love you all and hope you all had a great weekend. Laters kids!

   For Novapup.

I waited for you... just for you... before I gave my heart away. There were those who came into my life and left as strangers. There were those who came and stayed as friends. But never could I give my heart completely Because I was waiting for you. Just for you. And you were worth the wait. Happy Tenth Anniversary John. I love you more each and every day. This past decade has been filled with many ups and downs. Though good times and bad, richer or poorer, in sickness (heaven knows there has been plenty of that!) and health you have been by my side. You are my strength when I am weak. I would be completely lost without. You truly are my better half. I'm very lucky and blessed to have you in my life, to call you my best friend and most of all my, to call you my husband. Happy Anniversary!

   Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I'll be back to continue my house tour after the holiday. I love you all and appreciate all the wonderful well wishes. I have an idea, why don't you share with me via the comment box what you are thankful for this year. I am thankful for having such wonderful friends and family who love and support me. The strength you guys give me keeps me strong when I am sick. You may think leaving a little comment on my blog may not mean much, but knowing you stopped by to say hi makes me feel very special. I love you all for it. May your tummy be full, a smile always on your face and your heart filled with love. From both John and myself we want you to remember to have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

   Cooking is so fun!

Pandas love to eat! I really don't know what to write about right now. I feel like the post needs a witty intro, but I can't think of one. So I will leave you with this bit of advice: Never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Now let's get started on the grand kitchen tour! From the family room. Ah, the place John loves to hang out: The Kitchen. This picture is taken from the family room. Starting from the left you can see the half wall between the dining room and the kitchen. I like to lean up against this wall and watch John cook. As you can see the sink is by that short wall. You can also see the top of the most used appliance in my kitchen, my coffee pot! to the right of that are some glass canisters that hold pastas and fresh herbs. Of course next to that is the stove. On the counter next to the stove is a bunch of odds and ends. A canister that holds cooking utensils including a bunch of bamboo chopsticks -- since we all know that they are a must for cooking! Next to that is a bowl that holds some bagels, a cookie jar that is filled with dog biscuits then a series of baskets that have all my medications, syringes and other medical junk. I keep them here since I have to eat when taking many of the meds AND the moisture in bathrooms is bad for the medications. So there they sit, on the kitchen counter. What I love about my kitchen is the tons of cabinet space. From the dining room. This is a side view of my kitchen taken from the dining room. You can see some more canisters, the microwave and the side of the refrigerator. As you can see my fridge has a bunch of magnets and stuff stuck to it. Magnets include kitty cats, airplanes, School House Rock, magnets from our travels and of course, pandas. Some of the pictures and stuff hanging up include a picture of John and I in Chicago, the dogs, the dog's friends (we had a dog party with 6 big dogs here...it was insane!) and a picture of me in NY with the World Trade Center behind me. It's sad to think that future generations will never see those towers except in pictures and stories of 9/11. Sad. Back on the tour. On the front of the fridge is all magnet poetry tiles. One of the current one is an ode to our favorite drooling, shedding boy Brynner and reads: Drool falls from his tongue Fluff from his butt He has feet you cannot fiddle with Bun Bun, being mixed with Chow Chow has a thick undercoat that sheds in clumps...thus, the clumps of fur he sheds from his hind end is butt fluff. He also hates having his feet messed with. If you try to touch them he pulls away. I wonder if they are ticklish? Why am I talking about Brynner's butt fluff when I am suppose to be giving you guys a tour or my kitchen? Anyway, you can see the hallway that goes towards the rest of the house. Tomorrow I will show you guys the hallways, guest bathroom and utility room. Comment on Comments SomeGuy: What am I going to do with you boys! Solo want to sleep on my living room couch and you want to sleep on my family room couch! You guys, I have two guest rooms you can use!! I do have beds for guests to sleep in, but if you are fine with a couch then it's all yours! Oh and one more thing my dearest. I deem thee "Grand Duke of the Groove" since "Lord of the Dance" has already been taken. For only you can get your groove on so groovaliciously. Rock on James, rock on. This groove is for you. DeadlyNightShade: Welcome back to the world of the internet! I have no idea how you survived so long without being able to be on the internet. You rock! I think I would have gone bonkers! Welcome back and glad to see you posting again on theO! ShadowLight: Another fan of my couch! Yes, the dogs are fun to snuggle up against when napping. They keep you nice and toasty warm. They are soft and cuddly. Doesn't that thought just give you the warm fuzzies! BankofKev: You have to wait a bit longer to find out what's behind the secret door. I have to have a hook to keep you coming back to my blog now don't I! ~_^ I will guarantee that behind the screen is a No HOBO Zone! Panda's house is HOBO free. The dogs make sure that HOBO doesn't invade my home. ShikyoKasu: I am a pack rat, collector of anything and everything. Before you know it you will end up with a bunch of stuff. Now here is something for you to think about. My laptop is my very first computer that I can claim as my own. All the ones I had before were hand-me-downs and I've never had a new one to call my own until this one. I'm almost 30. We all want everything now, but good things come to those who wait. CosmicSailor: We are in the same boat. I am really good when it comes to playing an instrument, but can't get my voice to do the same. It's just not fair. BunnieGirl: He is pretty much a happy boy all the time. ^_^ MiasmaMoon: Perhaps it was me. Who knows where I wander around. P-chansacutie: That is so true about the guys needing room. When they start to play ball there is lots of yelling, laughing and moving around. You think they were actually playing a real life football game! indifference: I love having blankets all around my house. My couch in the living room has 2, the one in the family room has 2 and the futon in the spare room has two. You can never have too many comfy warm blankets around. SunfallE: I will have to stop by and take a look. I've only spent a few weeks in Utah. It's pretty there. I will visit your site right now! ^_^

   Couch Potato...er...Panda.

What do you mean I've been watching a rock for the last hour?! What can I say, pandas are easily entertained. Get some bamboo, a comfy place to sit and even watching a large rock is fun. Heck, how many times have you turned on the TV and said there is nothing good on. At least with a large rock you know there is nothing good on! As promised you shall all now see my "Family Room". This is the room I spend most of my time. I watch some tv and sit in the recliner with my laptop and check out theO. Pretty much that is my life. Now without further ado, the tour of my "Family Room". From the kitchen. Between the kitchen and dining room is a half wall. You can see the corner of that half wall in the bottom right corner of the picture. You can also see my dogs again. Brynner is wondering if I am going to give him a treat and Heston is under the coffee table. Even though he's a big dog he loves to crawl under the coffee table. He worms his way underneath. It's kind of funny to see such a big dog trying to squeeze under the table. Better yet is when both dogs get under that table at the same time! Back on the tour, you can see this room is decorated in a "Country" style. I love birdhouses and ivy so this is the main theme through this room. The quilt hanging on the wall was a gift from my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. Under that you can kind of see a decorative country-style doll which is sitting on top of a VHS cabinet/end table. Next to that on the left is another window above my boring couch. This brings us to the very chair I am sitting in right now. Next to my recliner is a book shelf that holds my manga. The top three shelves are my English mangas and the bottom two (which you can't see) are my Japanese mangas. Next to that is another bookshelf that holds magazines, phone books, sketch book, pens/pencils, notepads and on the very top you can see my laptop. I have pretty much set up my little "nest" so I can reach the things I might need to relax. I am pretty sure John thinks I am going to grow roots in this chair. From the Dining Room. This is what I get to look at while sitting in my chair. On the same wall as my manga and catch all bookshelves is the sliding glass door that leads to the backyard. You can see the blinds for that on the far right of the above picture. The tall bookshelf contains my anime dvds. To the left of that is the entertainment center with our TV, DVD, VCR, Satellite receiver, stereo and a bunch of VHS and non-anime dvds. The painting that is above the TV is a Thomas Kincade. Next to the TV is another one of my birdhouses and the cat scratching posts. The top scooped platform is usually where you would find Harrison hanging out. At this moment he is in the front window looking outside. In front of the TV is the PS2. It doesn't normally "live" out in this room which is why it looks a bit out of place here. Later on during the tour you'll see where it normally hangs out. What's kind of nerdy is the box it is sitting on top of is filled with all the Monty Python TV series and movies. John moves the PS2 out to the Family Room when his buddy's come over to play some Madden. It just hasn't found it's way back. There's nothing on TV... Here's a picture I took while sitting in my chair. Brynner was hanging out on the couch. It's funny. He doesn't do this when John is home, only when he is gone. I guess he knows that "mom" is easy going and will let him get away with getting up on the couch. I know, I am a push over when it comes to letting my boys do things like get on the bed or couch. If you look to the right of the picture you can see the chair and sewing table in the Living room. That's about it for the Family Room. Tomorrow I will cook up a post about my kitchen! Comment on Comments Steptoussai: Thanks! Cozy is pretty much the word for it. SomeGuy: The comments have been having some issues lately. Hopefully Justin will get that taken care of soon. ^_^ I would love to see a virtual tour of your home. That would be cool. Virtual tours are the next best thing to being there in person. P-chansacutie: When I was living at home with my parents I did most of my living in my bedroom too. It was my little safe place away from the world. I could turn on my music and just do what I wanted...read magazines, write letters....zone out. It was all good. ShadowLight: Nobody greets you like a dog does. It doesn't matter if you have gone for the entire day or just a few minutes, they are so happy to see you it really does make you feel good. My boy, unfortunately, get a bit too excited sometimes and plow into me. Panda vs. 2 large dogs...dogs win. lol CosmicSailor: I can't sing to save my life, but I love to sing...weird. I can sing in Japanese pretty well, of course that is my own biased opinion and I am most likely singing as well as I do when singing in English. At least my dogs don't howl when I sing. That's good right? Mamma Vash: Why am I not shocked that there is wool in your living room/dining room. Now what would surprise me is if you told me there was a room in your house that didn't have wool in it! Bunnie Girl: To tell you the truth I am terrible when it comes to identifying types of wood. I do know that the hope chest is Cherry. Other than that, you'll have to ask John. Unfortunately he isn't home right now. He's on a business trip. ;_; Ayame-meimei: Thanks! I still have several rooms to get through. Be sure to check back the next few days for more pictures! ^_^ MiasmaMoon: Mrs. Brightbill is waaaaay too formal for me. lol As for seeing "me", everyone says that we all have a twin somewhere in the world. Now my question is, do twins have other twins? Does that mean there are four people who look alike? What about Triplets? Does that mean there are six of them that look alike? Oh too much to think about... ShikyoKasu: I have been slowly collecting my decorations over many years. You just need to do the same and before you know it you'll have a nice collection. ^_^ dposse: Thanks! ^_^ KimmehWolfwood: Yes, I whole heartedly agree that pandas are cute. Anyone who disagrees is a doo-doo head. KitsuneTsuki: I've been feeling pretty okay lately. Of course now that I said that I've probably jinxed myself and now will end up stuck in bed for the rest of the week. D'oh! BankofKev: Sorry I missed your phone call. I was out with my parents and aunt who is visiting from California. Having lived in Cali for over 40 years she came up here to the Northwest and froze. She is flying back to Modesto tomorrow. You crazy transplanted Californians and your warm comfortable winter weather...

   No Reservations Needed

Dining room tables are more than just a place to eat. As promised here is my dining room. Smaller than the Living Room but definitely used much more than that front room. Friends and family come over, we fill that table up with lots of food and pack a few more chairs around the table. Lucky it has an extra leaf that can be added in or it would be very snug! This room to me, even though small, is filled with happy memories. From the Living Room. Here is a picture of my little dining room. You can see the Chinese panda silk much better in this picture. The silk was a gift from a former employer of mine and my father-in-law made the frame. To the left of that is a window then there is my China Cabinet. To the left of the China Cabinet is the entrance to the Family Room. The table really doesn't have much of a story behind it. We eat our meals here and love gathering around it to play games. There is just something really wonderful about eating a great meal with friends and family then playing games for hours. ^_^ From the Family Room. I was just thinking. I don't do much "living" in the Living Room. Most of my time is spent in the "Family Room". Who came up with the room names anyway? Den? Family Room? Living Room? Rec. Room? I'm guessing it's some real estate person trying to make a house more attractive to buyers. Back on topic, this next picture I took from the "Family Room" towards the "Living Room". On the far left of the picture you can see part of one of my Hakata Dolls. I am sure you guys noticed how tall my dogs are. Well, when you are sitting at the table eating there are always at least one pair of begging eyes peering over the table at you. They don't steal food but they sure do know how to pour on that "oh poor me, I'm so hungry" guilt trip. I really should get a picture of them peering over the table, it really is cute. I guess that is about it for the Dining Room. Tomorrow's update I'll show all of you the Family Room! Comment on Comments SugarCrazyGurl: Thanks! ^_^ indifference: The worst thing about the "boys" being able to look out the window is they watch me drive away when I leave the house. I will look in my rearview mirror and still see them watching me drive away. It always makes me feel bad. Mimmi: ::huggles back:: You just need to make the long trek over here and visit with us in person! Solo Tremaine: There is just something about that couch that makes people want to sleep on it. Of course the dogs will probably want to crawl up there with you. TheMouse: Hey, you are the one who left. They are just waiting for you to come back. D'oh! You gave away the secret about the screen! ShadowLight: My pups are really sweet. They are wonderful to hug since they are so big and cuddly. ^_^ CosmicSailor: Get this, last night my hubby was singing Sound of Silence when he came home from work. I was thinking how odd it was we have been chatting about S&G and he was singing one of their songs. LOL P-chansacutie: In my old neighborhood we had tons of squirrels and they would taunt the dogs all day long. Running along the fence line doing their little chirping...it would drive my pets crazy! BankofKev: You shall see the mystery behind the door in tomorrow's update. Perhaps it's a shrine to the "Guy with an Idea"! celestialcharm: Oh it is so not clean. I really need to get on the ball and work on my dusting, vacuuming...etc. I don't have a garden - yet. I want to get a little raised garden in the backyard but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I just need more time, money and energy! red tigress: My dogs shed like crazy! I just luck out that their fur matches the carpet so well. You can't tell as easily that it is "fur lined". LOL I vacuum lots, but there always seems to be an abundance of pet hair around this place. MiasmaMoon: You know you are going to get me in trouble with this questions since I know I am going to forget someone. Let me see, I am assuming you mean see in person and not just pictures. TheMouse, SetoKaibaFreak, BankofKev, Kieri Norou, Mamma Vash and Novapup. If I forgot you, sorry! BunnieGirl: It's kind of tough owning my own home since there are so many things you have to pay for. No matter if you are moving in to a newly built home or one that has a few years on it, there are plenty of things you end up having to fix. It's all worth it in the end, but this is all money that could go towards buying anime! lol childofserenity: Thanks for the compliments. I really do love that window. We set up our Christmas tree in front of that window and it looks really pretty from outside at night when we have the lights on. That window is very cool. Aaryanna: Dog lovers are always welcome. Just remember that my dogs think they are lap dogs. Big dogs that think they are little lap dogs usually ends up with someone getting knocked over. The good thing, if you fall on them they don't get hurt since they are so big. They are actually pretty squishy when you fall on them. Needless to say, they have knocked me over a few times. lol

   Home Sweet Home

Welcome! Please come on in! I decided to do this one room a day. I figured I would give you a tour just like I would for someone who is visiting my home in person. The very best place to start is where you would come in -- The front door! Enjoy and welcome to my little cozy home. Hey, it's only John, the dogs, cats and me, we really don't need a huge house. Plus, I don't think I could keep up maintaining a house bigger than what we are in! Again, welcome to my place and make yourself at home! Standing by the front door. This is taken from the front door. The first room you walk into is the Living Room. It's really just a small front room that we rarely use. As you can see on the opposite wall of the front door is John's piano. This piano is really old. Much older than any of us that's for sure. On the top are a bunch of pictures. I love pictures. On the shelf to the left of the piano is a Japanese doll, Maneki Neko (good luck cat statue) and some more pictures. To the right is the dining room. You can see my table, chairs and my "china" cabinet that I keep some of my Hakata Doll collection in. All my china and crystal is stored away underneath in the cabinet part. I would rather look at the dolls than plates and glasses. The wall to the right of the front door. As you can see this wall has one of our sofas, a hope chest with decorative cranes and a large Japanese plate on top. Above that is a silk needlepoint of a Giant panda and kind of cut off on the left is a large antique Chinese silk with pandas on it. The kimono hanging on the wall was mine from when I was little. On the wall to the right is the front window, wooden antique chair and antique sewing table. Front door. Now you can see where I took the other two pictures from! The antique chair and sewing table. Buddha is hanging out on top of the sewing table. There is a mirror/key hook above that. If you look closely you can see my car keys hanging on the right hook. It has a panda keychain! The Japanese screen looking thing has a "secret", you'll just have to wait until later to find out what. To the right of that there is a long wall scroll on the angled wall that leads into a hallway. You can see the end of the piano again in the foreground to the right. Who's here?! Well, that is it for the front room. Like I said we don't really spend much time in this room. It's kind of a strange little room and I am just not sure what to do about it. Since the front door is there and there really isn't much of a foyer. Any furniture put in the middle of the room just feels out of place and in the way. Meh. Brynner and Heston love this room since the front window is really big so they can look outside and watch the neighborhood. I think they spend the most time in this room. Tomorrow's Featured Room: Dining Room! Comments on Comments Aaryanna: I appreciate the well wishes. Lord knows I need them! I just hate not having access to the internet. I think it is kind of funny how when I know I can't get online I think of things I need to look up on the net. LOL SunfallE: That funky thing with my fingers was weird. The rest of the night until about 4am this morning they were all tingly. They feel fine now. Weird huh. indifference: I hope you like the first set of pictures I posted. I always love it when people post pictures. It just gives you an extra connect with that person. ^_^ TheMouse: You have already been here. The picture of the boys I actually asked them: "Is Shawn here?" and they went to take a look. I know, mean of me to do, but I needed a picture! CosmicSailor: The Graduate is one of those movies everyone needs to see. It is a classic and is referenced in so many other things like movies, jokes and music. It's a must see. Heck, they made reference to it in the second Wayne's World movie! Mamma Vash: Zucchini parmesan...that sounds absolutely devine! This summer, for the first time in ages, I didn't have an overabundance of zucchini. I now have a craving for zucchini... RIN21: ::huggles back:: ShikyoKasu: It really does suck to not be able to connect to the internet. It's strange to think of how dependent we have become on the internet. Ayame-meimei: You know what I really hate, when my foot falls asleep and gets all tingly. Even worse is when you don't realize that it's asleep until you try to walk. Argh! I hate tingly feet and fingers! celestialcharm: I know if I were your friend I would be very motivated to get the work done! MiasmaMoon: Oh, if I were to meet a group of fellow MyO-ers I would: 1) Go out to eat! I always love eating and chatting (not at the exact same time, you know what I mean.) Food tastes much better with good company and great conversation. 2) Go to Anime Expo. I guess that means we all need to be in Anaheim, California. This of course means...3) Go terrorize the theme parks. John loves roller coasters so, hopefully someone in the group would be willing to ride with him. I don't do roller coasters. 4) I would introduce everyone to all the people I know in the anime industry who are at the con. There are always a few voice actors I know running around. In the case of Vic Mignogna he was literally running when I bumped into him. LOL And the last thing would be...5) Take lots and lots of pictures so we will all have something to look at to remember our fun time. YueMoon: Of course I still have my coffee theme still up. I am not sure what theme I am going to next. Perhaps something wintery...festive...holiday-esque....I don't know. Perhaps I should have one of you guys design my site...perhaps a contest...hmm...something to think about....

   Service Not Available.

Meh. Most of Sunday my internet server has been down. I was able to take care so some approvals and post one response to a thread on the OB and then it went down. John called to find out what was going on with our server and they said it's being worked on. Meh. They had to work on it in the middle of the day?! They should work on it when there is the least amount of customers online...late night/early morning. Grrr. I hate being cut off from the site. I've been feeling pretty bad lately but no worries, I am feeling better. Right now, for some strange reason, my fingers are all tingly like they are asleep. Perhaps I am having a stroke. Just kidding, I think I'm just having some weird circulation issues with my hands right now. Since I am at a loss for what to talk about I am going to keep this short and just respond to comments. How about for my next update I give you a picture tour of my house? If you guys are interested in what the lair of the Panda looks like I will do it, if not I'll think of something interesting to write about. Perhaps I will write an epic novel about Brynner's toy fish. Or both...who knows what crazy thing will spring forth from the bizarre mind of a Panda. Comments on Comments SomeGuy: We are peas in a pod. We really do need to meet up, sing Goo Goo Doll songs as we drive around. That would so rock, much like us, we rock. ::strikes pose:: CosmicSailor: Oh that was a fun read. I love it when people tell me about themselves. You have some excellent songs in your favorites list. Simon and Garfunkel rule. Hazy Shade of Winter is my favorite but Sound of Silence is right up there. enin: Ah, I have my first fan boy! ::huggles enin:: The sheer coffee-ness of my site has increased my coffee intake. It's funny how many people tell me they can smell the coffee when they visit my site. ::sniffs:: I smell coffee... TheMouse: You must post about the visit. My fingers are still tingly...weird. Oh and I really think that Ward from the Steelers really needs to be put into a toothpaste commercial. I have never seen a guy smile as much as he did in the game tonight. P-chansacutie: Kimchi is very yummy. I usually eat it with some steamed white rice and a little bit of soy sauce. I am not a major spicy food eater so I can only eat a little bit before it starts to get to me. Oh great, now I have a craving for kimchi! I think I have some in the fridge... Summoner Rekka: I'll ask John about the Mac problems. I use the computer, he makes sure it works. LOL Mamma Vash: Oh how I need to call you and get caught up on your life. Isn't it funny how often you read something on the computer then someone mentions it at the exact same time...or maybe that is just me? Very weird yet most of the time funny. spirit gun2: I am so glad there are so many people who agree with me that chopsticks are easier to cook with. I always felt like I was some weird-o for cooking with them since most of my friends growing up were not Asian so using chopsticks only happened when they would go out for Chinese food. celestialcharm: Iris is one of my favorite songs. I never get tired of listening to it. BankofKev: Oh my dearest Kev. I really need to give you a call. Thank goodness I am not allergic to Baked Alaska. What would I do if I were?! That is a very scary thought. I would have to eat Asparagus! red tigress: The funny thing is I still have this wire "perma-retainer' on my bottom teeth. When I asked my dentist when I need to take it out he told me it stays in for as long as possible. He said maybe when I am in my 70's and need to get dentures I can have it removed. I'll never be rid of my orthodontic work! KitsuneTsuki: Oh I love the art books for FMA. I swear, I think my FMA obsession is on par with my Saiyuki obsession. That is pretty obsessive. Shanny: I've missed you! ::tackle glomps:: Yeah, I guess I am just feeding into that Asian stereo type of how we will eat anything that comes out of the sea. lol MangoChan: Another chopstick user! I really think that the rest of those non-chopstick cookers need to get with the program. Chopsticks are easier to cook with!
