HAPPY HOWLIDAYS!!


Ruger sez "Mom, I hate you for making me wear these to amuse yourself. BAH HUMBUG!!" ;)


I worked all day today, so my apologies for no mass text messaging or earlier LJ post.

To the jackasses who came out tonight and tipped shitty or not at all: I HOPE SANTA TAKES A HUGE FUCKING DUMP AND THEN EJACULATES ONTO IT IN YOUR STOCKING NEXT YEAR!! Fucking wankers.

In other news, my mom got me a sushi making set this year. While I have certainly expressed my desire to learn how to make sushi before, most of that was when Andy and I would spend $100+ a week on sushi. Now I'm not sure how much I'd really use it. I guess I need to get (yet another*) boyfriend who loves the fishy goodness as much as I do.

The problem with sushi as a home prepared meal is that you can't just make it and plan to have leftovers. It needs to be eaten within 12 hours (really, more like 3-6), or it becomes complete crap. Even the veggie or cooked rolls need to be consumed in that time window or the rice becomes hard and nasty. I'm guilty of my eyes almost always being bigger than my stomach when it comes to the tasty fishies, so I'm a bad solo sushi chef. Not to mention the fact that sushi grade raw fish isn't exactly cheap, so I'm not going to spend it if I don't KNOW it will get eaten.

I guess I need to start throwing sushi dinner parties. I have no real way of procuring fresh tempura flakes though, which is my fave way of adding crunch other than sesame seeds in the rice. And my favorite secret ingredient to round out a roll, masago, isn't exactly cheap.


Santa didn't bring me what I really wanted, which was a quality Digital SLR Camera**. Both of my PaS digis have died, one takes photos that produce some fantastic ghostly/melting effects, the other had its lens smashed to one side. I've since decided to stop messing around with point and shoots, I'd ideally like to get into photography as at least a paying hobby, if not an actual career. My cameras and I, that's the ONLY thing I've stuck to for over 15 years. When I bought my new phone, I took the camera quality into account as my second most important feature. All of the photos you have seen from me in the past 4 months are from my camera phone. I've been that long without an actual camera.

Excuse me while I go cry over that fact. I feel so naked. Even if you don't see them, I'm always taking photos. Ask my mom, ask Andy.



Add to my savings for the aforementioned camera if you feel so inclined.

Especially those of you who are only reading this because you like to see me naked. Imagine the possibilities with a fabulous new camera!!


*If you don't love sushi, and I mean REALLY love it, as in would eat it every day, our dating life would be very short.

**It's not professional equipment, but it's enough to get me back into the swing of things, save up for new lenses and a new body if I get enough business. BTW, I'm probably a Canon whore for life, their cameras have treated me so well since I was 13. I <3 Canon.
