Wow, fresh corned beef. Yummy. Corned beef and cabbage for those whom did not know, is my favorite dish ever. Of course you can go to the store and buy corned beef, but that couldn't be nearly as much fun as making your own from scratch. So basically where as I could buy the corned beef and be eating it a few hours from now, 2 weeks from today I will have corned beef. Doh! Oh well, all in the life of a chef.

Hmmm... more movies that have been on over the last few days that havn't sucked:

Kiss of the Dragon - Jet Lee is so adorable. Jackie Chan has his adorably cute moments, but he doesn't have a deep soft sensitive look that Jet Lee has. Ok, gonna drop it now. *sigh*

A.I. - Kudos to Jude Law

The Time Machine - A cute not too terribly insulting adaptation of the book. Instant classic... you would think... but isn't. Good movie.

Shallow Hal - Not as bad as it looks. if you thought this movie would totally suck, you would enjoy it. if it looked god, you will still like it. Yeah... so see it.

Play-Mate Of The Apes - BAD BAD BAD Cheesy porn. As much as I usually love bad cheesy porn, this goes way way too far. It would disgustingly halarious if you cut out the so bad not worth watching sex scenes and just focused on the really bad but so bad it is funny and worth watching plot, it would be great with a group of your closest perverted ass hole friends. Sooo... if you come by it, record it, and be prepared to fast forward. The only thing that makes it a bit diffucult to watch it thsty the women are beyond painfully unattractive. Also, you may want to be doing something else.. it isn't particularly captivating, just momentsa that make for good background noise. You have been warned.

Ali - Worth seeing, but not noteworthy. Highly recommended.

Judge Dredd - BAD BAD BAD Movie. DON'T SEE IT!!!

Ok, so I am sure there has been other crap on I havn't payed attention to that has sucked or not... but whatever.
Btw, God Bless to Ryan and protect him in these hard times. While nothing is expected to happen, I find it very noble he is standing up to defend his home town from terrorism. This has insipred too many conversations of 'Would you take up arms for Mountain View?' Whoohoo, go MV/PA Militia. See ya soon Ryan.

Btw, any and all who need a barbecue, or know someone looking to buy one, PA Barbecues Galore is the only place to go!!! GO SHAWN!!! Talk to him! He'll get you the best your money can buy and afford.

Hmm... anything else interesting, or what not? Hmm... my truch is fixed. Whoohoo. Yeah.

Country Time Lemonaide, Whahoo!!! Good stuff.

Yeah...

Hmmm... "Mad Love" w/ Drew Barrymore(1995). Interesting movie. Little freaky, and I probably would have enjoyed it quite a bit more if I hadn't had a little too much personal experience with that type of crap. Ok, I personally think between gorgous and intellectual and sweet that Drew Barrymore is my goddess... would do anything if she asked me too just cause. Does that really push guys as far as to put of with crap as bad as THAT?!? I know for a fact that guys will, I know guys personally that are comparably as bad as the chick in this movie... but I'll save from actually naming people to spare their feelings. Btw, if you think you might be one of these people, DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE :)

Oh god, ok why not. I guess I asked for it by taking the test in thr first place. Anyway, check it out for yourself.

Thanks for the laugh from this girl. :)

My roomate showed me this last night. Funniest shit I have seen in a long time. I think this is exactly why I stopped going to chat rooms when i was 14 yrs. old. Anyway, take a look at the award winning,The Parlor

Just as a note, not quite as fantastical as above, but if you have ever desired very powerful drugs, but don't like putting toxins into your body either orally or interveinously, take a shot at these. The music alone has a similar effect, and the visuals may cause perminent brain damage. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Ok, old e-mail that has made it's round more then once, but still funny. Next time you think you are having a bad day, just tink of Rob. Without further ado, more stupid e-mail forwards cluttering my mail box, straight to you.

<<< The next time you have a bad day at work... think of this guy.  Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana.  He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to The X, 103.2 FM in FtWayne IN, that was sponsoring a "worst job experience" contest. Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue,
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: we have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch.   So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.  The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit.  Now since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When I scratched what
I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my butt. I informed the dive instructor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with 5 other divers, were all laughing hysterically.  Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make 3 agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.  When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.  As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to
rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for 2 days because my rectum was swollen shut.  So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.  Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job." >>>

Wow, ok. Too many movies recently, but I just saw another great one. And just because it is a movie everyone has already seen and I am the last one to see it doesn't mean it will stop me from talking my ass off about it. "Sweet November". Sweet soft fuzzy movie about a couple really screwed up people who fall in love under weird circumstances. Ok, so not what you may find in a review guide, but it is the cutest romantic movie I can't wait to force my next sweet romance to watch. :)

Ok, next order of buisness. For those of you who didn't hear (likely few, but none the less...) I wrecked my car last friday. Totally sucked ass, and if you want to hear about it call and ask. It would seem as though the expense, despite being a whole lot less then expected, does not appear to be economically viable. I had a LOT of really great memories in that truck, memories that will be with me for the rest of my life. I want something new. My 21st birthday is comming up in a little over a month. I think for something I am going to love for new and new future... or what have you, despite the circumstance of how this came about, this is going to be serindipidous. Anyway, not going to say more till I get things figured out a bit more.

Love and care to the world.

Halo online was awsome last night. Sure makes a difference hosting or not. kicked ass when it was us hosting, sucked ass when we wern't.

Anyway, next party this thursday night for a reminder. March 20th. $10 is good for drinks and pizza as usual. See ya there.

Wow, I just saw rthe most adorable movie. Love & Sex. Came out in 2000, so most likely not too difficult to find. A relation-starved magazine writer (Famke Janssen) finds a cynical painter (Jon Favreau) on whom to feast, but keeps leaving the table with a bad taste in her mouth. Feature debut for writer-director Valerie Breiman. I will definatly look for her work in the future. Was on HBO Zone East for anyone that has it, look it up.

Whahoo. I was inspired by a friend to have a little fun taking a look at some numbers. Hmm... could that have possibly been more vague? Anyway, it inspired... well what became this puzzle. Sleek, simple, perfect. I am not sure how diffucult it is. I think I chose a level of difficulty that will give it a good brain thump to a person that gives it a little time. In one weeks time I will repost with a couple subtle hints. It is plenty solvable as is, so I don't want to ruin anything too quickly. Feel free to share the image, just please do not modify the image in anyway. Thanks.

E-mail me with the answer, if you think you have it. Ok, one little clue. If you knew the answer, you wouldn't need to draw a picture ;) Have fun

Ok, so now that I have been talking to people, I realized I was refering to my JUNIOR yer I went to prom that was particularly memorable. I did have a lot of fun my senior year, because I felt really obligated to go, and thanks to Ashley for being so sweet as to accompany me. (ashland rules)

Ok, this was origionally a feedback to Claudia's debate over whether to go to Prom or Ashland. Anyway, has anyone else thought there was ever a contest? Ha! Anyway, because this is my blog, everyone should have to read my opinion!!! That's why you're here in the first place.... right? of course. Anyway, here it is.

<<< I'm in such a moral dilemma right now. Do I go on the trip to Ashland or to my senior prom? I don't feel like going into the pros and cons of the situation right now, but rest assured that I am going over them in my head.
Sabriel 7:09 PM >>>


<<< Ok, Senior prom for me was really cool cause I got all dressed up and got to go with someone I really cared about at the time, and we had our first kiss by the end of the evening. It is hard to say, because the actual setting of the entire dance was quite awful. Poorly coordinated, and lots of people you never saw or cared about talking about how much they spent on their dress and they can't wait to get out of it later that evening. Blah! The joy I shared that evening was memorable... however it really didn't have anything to do with t being PROM. If you want a fun romantic evening with soneone you care about, plan it out and suprize the ever livin hell out of them. Hell, a romantic st. Patrick's day gettaway is spontanious and seasonal, even if you arn't Irish. It is just the matter of identifying it as a little more special then every single day.
Ashland on the other hand IS a unique experience. I remember that as the highlight of my entire highschool experience pretty much. The opertunity to go to Ashland and see the Shakespeare festival with a cast you have been working with for atleast a year, usually more with a chance to argue, reflect, and share on what will be your best opertunity to see some of the best shakespeare performances, not to mention the shear number of plays that you see one after another. It is truely the prom of the theater! Big party in a hotel for a few days, and the highlight of it all is the prom where all the people you could care less if they wern't there, won't be!

The reason to go to prom is it is the thing you said you did only because everyone else did. That, and it isn't like you had anything better to do you wouldn't have otherwise be doing every weekend ;). This is TOTALLY not your case.

Prom is only 4 times durring highschool where you show off school spirit (after party aside), Ashland with yo crew, very once in the place in time you are now.

Dances are dances... they REALLY don't change much, just the clothes you wear. Ashland durring your highschool experience of theater, whether you choose to persue it for a lifetime or not, is a complely unique experience there is no chance to share the same way.

Hmm... any other way to phrase this? NO CONTEST! GO TO ASHLAND!!!

The only one thing you do know is you can't regret what you don't know. You WILL have a good time either way because you won't know what you missed. WHAT AM I SAYING, you will know exactly what you missed cause all your friends choking on wonderbread on the way back will be laughing at you while you're still complaining how disapointing prom was, and how that creepy guy you never met and had 5 classes with wouldn't leave you alone all night!

Ashland!!!
Ashland!!!
Askland!!!

Ok, did I mention I enjoyed Ashland?

ASHLAND RULES!!!





Ok, I'm done now. (go to ashland) >>>

Congratulations!!!

Congrats to my friend and role model Terry Jacobs for her hard work and inspiring attitude and spirit that has not only made it even more of a pleasure to work and Gunn High School but has earned her way to be recommended this year by Scott Laurence for Tenure!

I am also happy to announce that friend and amazing teacher that will kick any students ass to be successful and have a wonderful learning experience in High School English, Kristina Gossard has been recommended to join the team of dedicated professionals at Gunn. I am happy her positive attitude, and time she has spend to ensure that every student of hers has a chance to do the very best they can has reaped the rewards of 'Job Security' :) he he. Here's to many more years.

Kudos to Colleen Valasquez who through some rough bumps in the road and jumping through hoops has survived the grueling fight for tenure because she knew in her heart she was the best one for the job. With hordes of students every semester with their unique personalities and learning styles she has crafted a curriculum where everyone learns, and when they work hard, they succeed.
Also to be commemorated March 4th, 2003 by the PAUSD school board for tenure are Tom Jacobowsky, Angela Merchant, Lisa Rampton, Allison Rockwell, and Melinda Wilson. Patronize these individuals by sending them long obnoxious e-mails about how great they are. They worked hard to get here. :)

I have had a nasty fever since last thursday. It has kept me in this disassociated haze for the last number of days. I really hope I do not get better as it has been helpful in masking all the crap around me that drives me out of my mind.

I suck ass at lying about how I feel, so I generally keep my mouth shut whenever possible, though I have found myself a bit more uninhibitted these past fews days. Thanks to the peeps this weekend who really helped me to see clearly how I was feeling, and all the others that just made it really awsome. (I am sorry to give no credit via blog... maybe it is more complicated then worth explaining atm.)

Ok, so my DNS evaluation period has expired. Doh! It is awsome software (Simple DNS Plus 3.20.02), but I do not feel like paying the $80 for the licencing just yet :)

More California High School Exit Exam. Yippie! I am finding myself more and more confused about what is going on with this web site. It is like as though every other time I check the page, it jumps from mirror. Not that a feature like that would be bad at all to control traffic, but it is not doing it in a manner that makes any sense. The domain is forwarded and masked to the old mirror. I would think this would bypass the DNS completly, but I guess not. I have some theories, lots of theories... but only a few about what is going on here. :/

On a happier note, Twin Peaks, as always, kicks ass. So beautiful up there. Last niht, despite the wind it was so clear you could see across the bay. I havn't been there in months, so it was a treat to go back.

HALO Tonight!!! Be there or be square. And Aaron, fix your damn cell phone. See ya there.

Ok, so evidently that was a fluke yesterday. I do not know why my domain info hasn't been updated yet, but I shall sit patiently and wait. *sigh*

Ok, gotta run. so much for... yeah.

Whahoo, my DNS is finally up and running as I had hoped. I would just like to give a shout out to GoDaddy.com which was most helpful in getting me everything that I needed. BEST PRICES ANYWHERE!!! There is just no contest. BTW, though there are a very limited number of mirrors at the moment, few being one, anyone that does not have the time or the effort to setup your own name server, I would gladly setup free for the first five people. There are certain limitations, but just comment for more information.

Anyway, just like to say that the CAHSEE blows fat monkey balls. Though possibly having the best intentions in it's conception (though doubtful) it has thus far proven to be a complete utter flop as well as a waste of time (duh). Out with the SATs, after people finally get their crap together and see how much more the whole thing is capitolized on then ever actually ever proving anything, and now we have this. Higher SAT score = spent most money, just like every presidential election(but not geting into that.). I don't necessarly people being exceptionally stupid, but for gods sake, can you please have a miniscule sense of political continuity?

Btw, I cooked up a new recipie for teryaki sauce. I wish I could remember what all was in it, but I certaintly made plenty of it. Yummy!
