I feel it appropriate to use my only Rikkai-related icon to post about the latest PoT chapter.

LJ, please to be not disrupting my internet every time I refresh my friends page/navigate one page away from my friends page. Reconnecting is an irritating thing when done 5+ times a day. And, uh, it's especially irritating that you only do it to my laptop, and never to any of the other computers in the house.
Continuing in my attempts to learn to make nothing but desserts, today I made white cake (from a cake mix) and iced it with lemon icing (also bought). It is TASTY. I'm thinking, though, that I should try to make a cake/icing from scratch at some point and I conveniently have access to a cookbook that might help in this plan. I should look and see what kind of icings it has in there and then pick a cake type. Or something...*looks in the cookbook* Oh, hey, there's even recipes that lead to nifty things that could be done with cake mixes. Hm...maybe I'll do one of those instead. Even though, ya know, I really should be learning to make something that is NOT dessert.

*keysmashes over own post-eating idiocy*
Anyway, the pudding pie thing I mentioned in my last, non-bloggish entry is mighty tasty. Mom says it's "refreshing", which is a term that always confuses me when it's applied to food. But anyway, it has this nice blend of chocolate and mint flavor. I'm thinking I might want this again eventually, so I might just need to acquire me some more of that pudding...especially as last I saw, there was only one slice of the pie left, and I don't think it's going to be there in the morning.
Incidentally, that last bit was better before I had my moment of post-eating idiocy. Shame, that.
It occurs to me that I need to check the time on my alarm clock. By which I mean the one that actually works, instead of the now unplugged one that has no sound anymore. The time is out of sync with the change in TV programs, my computer, and my watch. This suggests to me that the time is not correct over on that alarm clock. *goes over and fixes it* There. Now it's not fast anymore...
*sporfles and dies over the latest PoT chapter* The only thing I've to say about it is I keep thinking of that Futurama episode in which almost the entire cast of All My Circuits has amnesia.
I don't think I'm gonna come up with anything else that should go in this post, except it was mildly disconcerting to wake up to the sound of dub Naruto this morning.

In my ongoing quest to learn to make desserts and nothing else, I made a pudding pie. I've no idea how it tastes, but it's chocolate fudge pudding with "cool mint" chips in it. I'm hoping for tasty goodness.
On the writing end of things, I temporarily overcame my inability to find words, only to get pounced by ideas that I think belong to what I might write for NaNoWriMo. So I've made notes, because as tempting as it is to start it now, if I start it now I'll have nothing I really want to play with for NaNo and then I won't end up doing it. So no writing THAT particular original fantasy thing right now. I'm attempting to steer my brain to other writer-y things that I want to do or feel a need to work on, but I'm not having much luck. On that note, I discovered I have 4000+ words of random pieces of things for Mahou no Oujisama, but none of which is complete enough to post. *facepalms* Mahou no Oujisama is starting to turn into my default "I feel like writing" thing to play with, but unfortunately I'm not really getting anywhere. Ah well. At least I'm trying.
There was one job I thought about applying for, but then this whole required retail/customer service experience thing got in my way. Curse my lack of both! And I'm effectively giving up on Volume II Bookstore, since they haven't gotten back to me...*checks e-mail* yep, haven't gotten back to me and I'm pretty sure it's been about a week. *checks date* Yeah, closing in on a week. So it's back to hunting for other options. And, push come to shove, there's always the local temp agencies. *sighs* Me no likely this whole job hunting thing.
Back to reading, I suppose. Never hurts, after all, to read and potentially pick up writer tricks or inspiration for writing...

Watching the first two TMNT movies makes me want to rewatch that anime TMNT thing. Not any of the recent TV series that were on Fox or anything, but that crack-tastic anime thing. Anyway, given the general crackiness of that anime TMNT thing, I'm thinking this is not a good thing. And for good measure, this is not a request for anyone to hook me up with it. I have enough things to be doing and anime to be watching without picking up those two cracky episodes...
A typo in typing in a URL led me to LJ hilarity of a non-wanky sort. And, uh, feel free to click multiple times, because it'll say different things.
I keep trying to write on things (mostly fanfic in nature), except my words keep failing me and I end up staring at the Word document of the thing I'm working on knowing the sort of thing I want to write but not being able to put it into words. It is SO frustrating!
Starting Friday morning, Cartoon Network is airing the first 100 episodes of dub Naruto all weekend. While (I think I remember this correctly) episode 101 might be mighty entertaining to see in dub form, I just don't have any interest in watching dub Naruto. Maybe 'cause I got series burnout on it and haven't gotten the will to return to it. *has it on mute at the moment as Orochimaru shows up for the first time, complete with creepy tongue thing but before he looks creepy*
Bed now. And maybe sleep.

( PoT quiz results beneath cut )
Haven't heard back from Volume II Bookstore, so tomorrow's going to be another round of looking at the classifieds. Given that Fall Rush is practically here, odds are if I don't hear anything in the next few days, I need to find something else. At least I have resumes that I can hand out at this point, and when I get to that point, I can note my references on separate pieces of paper (if I'd tried to put them on my resume, I think I might have gone over the one page limit). Mind, going out to apply for jobs is slightly more awkward since I don't have my car, but it's still manageable.
A League of Their Own keeps airing on ABC family while I'm downloading/planning to watch Oofuri. This is coincidence of the silly sort.
Random question to the friends list: Is there a song that really reminds you of a character/pairing/event/etc. from a series you like (or, given some of you play D&D, from a campaign)? If so, what is it and why?
I've got a couple songs in mind myself that I'd answer this with (largely in connection to PoT characters/events), but I feel like I need to go back and listen to them again to remind myself of why. Off the top of my head, "One of Us" from the Lion King II soundtrack has always made me think of Zuko lately. To be more specific, it makes me think of that village that hated him for being Fire Nation but was okay with him as long as they didn't know.</div></center></center>

Randomly, because I've just now remembered: While browsing the PS2 games at my closest Best Buy, I spotted the Avatar game...as part of the Greatest Hits section. Cue my o.O reaction. Still can't wait for September, as Avatar season 3 cannot get here fast enough at this point.
Still caught up on Oofuri and still enjoying it. I feel like I'd get a kick out of writing the characters, but I don't feel like I know them well enough yet. Nor do I have any plot bunnies, which is probably for the best. ETA: Ah ha, that first sentence is now a LIE. *proceeds to acquire ep 7*
Someone stop me from listening to this song much more. I mean seriously, I don't even listen to it that much, but it's turning into a nightly thing and iTunes says the play count is currently at 55. Seriously, I need to be listening to other things...

So, uh, this is my first post. Obviously. *thwaps self upside the head for the obviousness of that first sentenct*
Anyway, I'm just settling into JF (and I'm hoping my Internet doesn't decide to cut out on me when I go to actually POST like it's been doing for the past few minutes).
This will probably end up being the mirror for all the posts I make at this point out for all of my LJs (general journal, fic journal, original writing journal). So if you've friended me over there on one of those, well...it's gonna be a lot of repeat posts, I'm afraid.
