plums, popcorn and josh rouse

Country Mouse, City House arrived in my mailbox today, along with a companion CD! YAAAAY! i left my ipod at work, though. should have gone back to it. i have josh's new music on my home computer, and i will have it on my work computer soon. ipod tomorrow night, though. i was hoping to listen on my way tomorrow morning, but oh well. the last two hours of listening have been great!

i went out to martinsburg, wv last weekend. got some deeeelish yellow plums. they're about 2/3 as big as regular plums. doll approves.

also i have a new favorite method of making popcorn.
big metal bowl on the stovetop.

popcorn, bit of oil, bit of salt, make sure all is coated.
foil cover on top of bowl.
lots of holes from toothpick.
heat on medium/medium-low.
gently move around every 30 seconds or so when popping starts.
continue until 2-3 seconds between pops.
remove foil CAREFULLY.
enjoy!

BELGRADE, Serbia - Two Austrians and a German were fined for cycling naked along the banks of the River Danube in Serbia where a heat wave has sent temperatures soaring.
“Police arrived after being alerted by passers-by,” said police spokesman Stevan Krstic in the northern city of Novi Sad.
Temperatures in Serbia and other parts of the Balkans have hovered stubbornly for the past week at around 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
The three men were brought to a magistrate on charges of disrupting public peace and order and were fined 10,000 dinars (125 euros) each.

stuff i want for my birthday

here's a list of stuff i want for my birthday...coming up in just over a week.

(the first time i posted this something went wrong and it didn't save. %^*#!)

* duh
* anything here (specifically on the first page, top right column)
* this, but just the body would be ok
* delish. lots of it.
* this GRE stuff finished already.

i wrote more stuff, but i don't remember it. something about a vase i'm looking for for some new slides. something about crying at disney world.

i haven't picked up my knitting needles in over a month. GRE.

curse you, GRE!

also, some pics.
here i am with tamara at jo's wedding last weekend in ny. i was in richmond, va at the time for work, so i flew up for the night and back in the morning. this is the only picture i took in which i actually look like myself.

here are jo and erik

also, i made this jewelry box with crackle paint a few years ago. here is pic of the box, and detail of the crackle effect. it's pretty cool. i smudged it before it was fully dry. i also could have taken the hardware off before painting it, but i just thought of it now. hm.
