Fresh Garden Delight

from: Girl Scouts

Ingredients
bananas
milk chocolate chips
mini marshmallows

Directions
Take your banana, skin on, and slice it lenthwise, through the skin, cutting through the banana, but not penetrating the skin on the opposite side. Carefully pull apart the cut of the banana and stuff it with the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Use lots!! You'll need 'em.

Then all that's left to do is cook the banana. Wrap it in some tin foil and cook it on a bed of hot coals (or in the oven if you don't happen to be camping). You want the marshmallows and chocolate chips to get melty and the banana to get nicely cooked.

Once it's done, pull back the foil and consume with a spoon and maybe some milk…. mmmmmm

What I've Been Up To

WOoo! It's been a long time. I am going to try my hardest to get back to writing on a daily basis. And reading on a daily basis … that computer stuff really put me out of the habit of doing blog stuff on a daily basis. Anyhoooo

We had a great weeekend. On Friday we got to have my cousins over to stay with us while their parents were busy and we got to celebrate Ryan's B'day (very belatedly) by going to a hibachi grill and then playing two hours of laser tag. Laser tag was super-fun because we were the only people there for the last 3 or 4 games we played and we could break all of the rules and shout and run and carry on. We had a great time. We also spent scads of time playing DDRMax both on our PS2 and at the arcade that was attached to the laser tag place. Continue reading “What I've Been Up To”

Fixed!

Finally, my computer is fixed. They replaced just about every part in it (I dunno why they didn't just send me an entirely new one, but whatever). So now I'm back in comission and working hard to make gains.

In other “news” I've been watching Jetsons from Netflix. I really liked the show when I was little, but now it seems kinda … silly. And I can't believe how sexist it is. It's amazing that they advanced technology (albeit in some pretty silly directions) and they didn't advance sexual politics one bit.

Also, I've found two new shows that I really like. One is Veronica Mars, which is a show about a teen private eye who works with her dad . There's some long-term plot arcs and intrigue, and it's really well done. Tuesdays 9/8 c on UPN. Wifswap is the other one I like. It's really interesting, paticularly from a sociological point of view. I don't know when that's on. Mom TIVOs it and we watch it later.

Stillllll Broken

Yes, sadly, my beloved computer is still broken. 😛 That (needless to say) sucks. I can't get much work done and am missing visiting everywhere I usually do. Once again I've pilifered Matt's computer. But alas, he will need it again soon and besides that, it's ill-suited to my paticular needs… Alas… Alack. I'm on with Dell tech support AGAIN now and hopefully we'll get something worked out. I HATE being without my computer!!!

Broken Puter!

Argh! Everything was going so swimmingly, and suddenly, my computer slowed down to practically a halt. Actually it did halt once or twice (i.e. turned off of its own accord). That was annoying. Anyhoo, I called the folks at Dell, who, recently, had been doing very little other than annoying me … and got an awsome tech. He was friendly, helpful and had me try like ONE thing (instead of 10000). Soooooo … My new hard drive arrived yesterday. I still haven't installed it (though that's priority #2 … I have to backup a bunch of data first) and hopefully I'll be back in comission sooooon!! So annoying. Matt's compy is weird.
