So... hoping for recommendations again. I've had a hankering for more Sci-Fi stuff, and I'm hoping that people will have some ideas! Old Man's War was awesome, so books like that, if you can think of any? So I haven't actually finished either of them, but for some reason I immediately though of Pau...

Er, do you put in avocado for the duration of the baking? I've been told it tastes awful if cooked too much, so I always put it on afterwards (or the last minute or so). Yeah, I put it on immediately after. For lunch I used up some more of the butternut squash in a kind of taco with more of the swe...

Tonight's pizza:
Sweet Potato (leftover from last night's soup making)
Grilled onions
(sliced) Tomato
Mozzarella Cheese, + light dusting of parmesan cheese
Olive Oil sauce
Jalapenos
Avocado

Nom Nom Nom. Only improvement would have been better gluten free crust. And better jalapeno distribution.

Working on the new website, I love the fact that the Database class I took a year ago is coming in handy with some more advanced SQL queries. I used a subquery last night, as well as a subquery that contained unions. Yay, education. Hee, that amused me because I'm in a databases class right now and...

Perfect timing, mang! I've been rereading them/finally buying them for myself, and, trust me, they only get better. I think the series really starts to hit its stride in the third book, Grave Peril , and I'm not just saying that because the TWO BEST CHARACTERS are introduced in it. Although they he...

I really did want to do this, but apparently "The Dark is Rising" is the second book in a series? Since I've never read any of the series, I didn't want to read the second book first, and I didn't have enough time to read the first book before. So, uh, next year... more warning. :D I read...

My getting Lost Gate has somehow turned into a drama llama. I mentioned to both my parents OSC is signing it this week and they both assumed I was going (I was unsure), and now my dad wants to go with me. I liked Pathfinder but I'm still not sure I want to pay for LG.

I also hate hearing "There's always next year." I've been hearing that one since the 6th grade, which is the last time they made it to the Superbowl. But, well, hey, there's always next year. I remember hearing it kindergarten when they got knocked out of the playoffs; it was my week to t...

I just made a Sonic Screwdriver. Wow, it has a lot of vodka. Happy New Year's Eve, me + Doctor Who Netflix streaming!

Yeah, I was not amused (I just watched Tooth & Claw) with some aspects of the treatment of the one off characters in The Christmas Special. I had my friend just start with 5x01, which worked well enough for him to be anticipating the special once he finished the season. (His least favorite episo...

I'm in the middle of trying to revamp my workout. I have kind of plateaued a bit and need to figure out something that actually is challenging enough to continue to get in better shape, so I think I might start doing more outdoor trail stuff and then an additional 20-30 min of cardio at the gym afte...

Syphon's review has moved it from bottom of the mental to-read pile to its sitting next to my current other book. I only had to wait 2 days to get it on hold, must not be very popular? HMMM.

I've been reading a lot of urban fantasy lately.

I wasn't aware I liked urban fantasy.

(I tried to balance it out with a mainstream science book that I read in an hour so I could get back to the werewolves. My choices...)

Next semester I'm hopefully taking biogeography, landscape ecology, a graduate-level applications class, two programming classes + intro to CAD online, maybe a biology/ecology research position if I can figure out how the frak to proceed with it & organize the data or start it entirely over, as ...

I've read some of his New Yorker pieces but I'm not sure if I've read any of his books. It feels like I have though, having read large portions online/had a friend hero worship him a couple summer back. I'm currently reading The Family Trade by Charles Stross for the third, and hopefully final attem...

I met with a professor today and for the first 5 minutes I could not stop mentally laughing because his research interests match a (well-known) science fiction author's REALLY CLOSELY and so it was kind of hilarious.

Dear you, You want to have a talk about our feelings for each other or something?

Today, while interning, the software won. We spent at least 20 minutes trying not not let the software to win, but for some reason, an easy way to do a SIMPLE task evaded us, at which point I had been there 15 minutes after I am supposed to leave & my boss was like, go home, this is getting ridi...

Dear you, I know there isn't really anything you could ever do to redeem yourself yet I still have a bunch of my self and ambitions tangled up in you. So I think that's why I still care.

Bob, I can't make decisions. I chose my college in under 5 minutes after getting the official admissions. I chose where to live after college based on only getting the one full-time job. I chose to move back here because I was running out of options. And now I am supposed to decide things now and I ...

Seeing your avatar, Meg, reminds me that we've been watching Fringe on a binge (haha) and are a few episodes into Season 2. I really enjoyed season 1, but the unanswered/unaddressed questions from the finale are bugging me, I hope they are resolved. I like that it has over-arching plots, but not to...

I'm behind on Caprica (I haven't watched since the very long break) but I dislike that it was cancelled on principle, because its not like Syfy has much going for it in terms of other shows, and scifi is getting pretty scant on the broadcast networks, especially if Terra Nova never makes it on air. ...

My stomach is pretty annoyed with me all the time. It is getting to the point where I think that to make it happy, I would have to eschew wheat, dairy, and probably rice since I tend to over-indulge on things made of rice/it makes me bloated instead of just eating veggies/quinoa. I am not sure what ...

The big challenge is that television is almost completely replaced the short story in our culture. Forty-five minutes of Dr. Who in my iPod Nano IS a short story.
