and the nobel goes to....

it's that time of the year again

no, not the birth of christ
no, not the ...well...whatever hanukha celebrates

• 1/2 cup matzah meal
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp. oil or schmaltz (melted chicken fat)
• 2 tbsp. water or chicken broth
• 2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
• a little black pepper
• 2 quarts thin chicken broth or consommé

Beat the eggs, oil and water together thoroughly. Add the matzah meal, parsley and black pepper and mix until you achieve an even consistency. Let this sit for a few minutes, so the matzah meal absorbs the other ingredients, and stir again.

Bring the broth to a vigorous boil, then reduce the heat until the broth is just barely boiling. Wet your hands and make balls of about 1-2 tbsp. of the batter. Drop the balls gently into the boiling water. They will be cooked enough to eat in about 15 minutes; however, you may want to leave it simmering longer to absorb more of the chicken broth flavor. They are done when they float on top of the broth and look bloated.

For lighter matzah balls, use a little less oil, a little more water, and cook at a lower temperature for a longer time. For heavier matzah balls, do the reverse. If you are using this to treat a cold, put extra black pepper into the broth (pepper clears the sinuses).

His new show is pretty good.... and even surrounded by all that fine young texas football meat
He still is the yummiest

Speaking of yummy

this weekend was quite busy
co-hosted a shindig with my partner in crime ms. kelly kat...
definately fun
i was adorable (more than usual)
i believe we killed a nice portion of the richmond ozone with the hairspray
used to hold my 1950's drunken housewife costume...
scariest of all
after seeing the pics my mamacita exclaimed
"you look like me!"
dear god...that's almost as bad as
"he's reminds me of my father"

then to a raunchy gathering at ms. jessica's party
nothing says fun like a bowling ball doing a striptease!
always fun to run into erica, kevin and that gang...

next weekend looks to be busy too
first friday, tribal jam 4, breakfast with sharon and practice
i love the fall...

after reading the His Dark Material trilogy i found myself unimpressed
I am quite critical when it comes to books...and am always turned off
when a story turns spiritual...must be my lack of religious interest

there may be an opportunity for me to attend a local S&M dinner
shush, you dirty minded people
as you all know i am open to meeting most anyone
(unless you smell or are creepy)
and how awesome of a story would that be...
and if someone one needed to be spanked
i am more than willing to help ones fellow man....

my new obsession: HOSIERY
if you are contemplating an offering
or a christmas/hanukha/kwanza/boycott christmas present
think socks! think footies! think shoes! tights! leggings!
target sells the nicest fishnets, i plan on stocking up...
given the right outfit, fishnets are very professional
in sooooo many ways!

Also, Exodus part 2 of BSG ...greatest tv episode of all time!
I bawled like a baby the 1st 5 minutes, sat in awe the next 35, cried again the last 5
so fabulous! and soon Apollo will be thin again...yeah!

Speaking of tv....I just can't seem to get into Veronica Mars this season
I think it is due to a lack of Logan...hopefully as the season progresses I will grow to care...
But Ugly Betty and Greys Anatomy continue to rock Thursday nights
and let us not forget ANTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go CariDee...which means she will lose...
also no blonde has won the contest...conspiracy? hmmmm...

Music wise I am still loving my Joseph Arthur
but the cd of the week is Stray's don't sleep...it's grown on me
I seriously am also loving the new John Legend songs...I believe I will be adding some neo-soul to my cd collection...


holidays are coming upon us
my favorite one of all!
Tgiving
a day to eat turkey, celebrate oppression around the world, eat more turkey, wonder why my cranberry sauce is not congealing, give thanks for elastic pants, watch lou diamond phillips movie marathons and eat turkey!

i believe i know the true meaning of the day.

lately i have been running into roaches...
4 found in my apt...including one in the toilet
and one the size of a frisbee in the hallway at work!!!!!!!
another reason not to stay in the building after dark....
i blame the ones in the apt on my neighbors, seeing as i have never had any....
if i find more I am spraying,....
it will be genocide!!!!!!
but the safety of the kats is imperative...even if lil kat likes to play with them...


ok peeps...
be well
save some candy for me....
and not the cheap chinese crap!

s

i got a brand new pair of rollerskates....

today
i have on a new pair of shoes
dark brown suede HIGH heels
with a rounded toe and a bow...

too cute
true my feet are kinda pissed off...
but they will deal!

speaking of shoes
my hot chick amanda passed on the info
that carlos santana makes shoes
and man does he
check them out...
of course she has two pairs
she's spicy like that
i am psyched to see her at the halloween festivities
the weekend of the 27th...everyone should come!
(especially to my party!!!!!!!!!!!!)

and speaking of awesome peeps
kelly is rocking the fire fans....check the pics out
and wendy is all guitar girl
we have plans to spend sat at the National Folk Festival
being held right here in lil ol' richmond...

speaking of sat
it is a momentous occasion in everyones life
yes it is my birthday
my 30th!!!!!!!!!!!

**evidence that my birth was the greatest event to ever happen on 10/14/any year
1962 : The Cuban Missile Crisis begins

1976 : A purse-snatcher is charged with attempted robbery
1977 : Bing Crosby dies
1890 : Dwight D. Eisenhower is born
1964 : Khrushchev ousted as premier of Soviet Union
1918 : Adolf Hitler wounded in British gas attack
(courtesy of the History channel)

30 years of bringing the sexyback people...
(oh shut up, the phrase isn't completely over)
i was planning a huge hoopla, a trip etc
but then i kept changing
i feel more low key, more mellow
maybe i have matured like a fine box of wine
but i have the week off
i plan on doing some major shopping
and hanging...
also celebrating a birthday, though the day is really mine
is patrick...

as for turning 30

some people freak
but i look forward to it
seeing as i spent most of my 20's in school
or thinking about school
i believe this is my decade...
until i turn 40
then that my decade
until i turn 50... and so on and so on
plus at this age i really feel comfortable
with who i am
with my body and my brains...
i feel more attractive than i ever have
despite breaking out all the freaking time...
i feel smarter and more capable of any task

so now that i am (almost) 30
what do i have in plan
well i think the big project is health
not that i am in bad health
but i know i could be better
(note to self: no more hot wing and breadstick dinners...like last nite....)
i really want to focus on exercise and yoga
especially yoga...i like the ideal that i can be all flexy
and maybe, one day have the ability to have a sense of balance
and not even the emotional, spiritual kind
but the stand up and not fall kind!
oh and i am psyched because its time for my five year physical...
i like to get the full work-up every major age
this year i am including a colonoscopy...
does being extremely excited to have a scope with a lil camera
shoved up my bowel to look for and harness any irregularities
make me the weirdest person ever?
yeah, i thought so....

A colonoscopy (koh-luh-NAH-skuh-pee) allows a doctor to look inside the entire large intestine. The procedure enables the physician to see things such as inflamed tissue, abnormal growths, and ulcers. It is most often used to look for early signs of cancer in the colon and rectum. It is also used to look for causes of unexplained changes in bowel habits and to evaluate symptoms like abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and weight loss.

i also think i will pursue my mba, but at a leisurly pace
and revamp my wardrobe
and put down roots here in richmond
i'v bounced around so many places all my life
that it's finally time for building a life that can't be packed in a cardboard box
and toted to the next opportunity...


ah...but what of your love life, i hear you all asking?
again i spent my 20's in a committed long term relationship
one i have few regrets about
but i feel as if i lost a big piece of me during that relationship
the answers to no one, that sense of personal ambition that nothing can stop
i am not a person who looks back and regrets my decisions
i don't regret choosing my relationship over other opportunities
but i have a feeling (a fear) that i will be reluctant to do it again
so i am not looking for anything or anyone
i find it hard to imagine myself with someone else
i am really a very selfish person so i find it hard to include someone in my own lil world
as for dating...well that's fun...but i often feel like i am leading someone on...

this would be a dilemma if i wasn't so content being me
and life as it is...
i'm far from lonely
i do miss people giving me presents randomly,
but come on that only lasts for so long anyways
whatever happens will
when it wants
the only thing i am certain about is that i will remain the same
dysfunctional, quirky, unable to commit flirt that i am!

so this has probably been my most personal, truthful and contemplative blog
ever
anywhere.

so let's move on to the real reason why you read this blog...
my brief, uneducated and sometimes illiterate take on things happening places and to people....
this movie looks awesome
i need to read the book...it's a movie about smells....and MURDER

also, right now reading the trilogy His Dark Materials.
you will be more familiar, seeing as they are making a movie (actual three...see above)
starring hot hot HOT Daniel Craig----soon to be known as the hottest Bond ever...
it's a children's series...you know if your kid is a future serial killer...
jest, jest....but it is kind of dark....

Buffy is in the upcoming Grudge:2----return of the crappy crappy movie
but I love Sarah Michelle Geller
she has the prettiest hair any girl being stalked by some creepy lil albino japanese boy...

well damn... i'm glad i didn't get my ticket
But now TMZ has learned that due to financial reasons Magni, Storm Large and the House Band have been kicked off the tour. Toby and Dilana are still on board (thank God!), but will now be backed by Toby Rand's Australian group Juke Kartel. Evs! (ONTD)
I love Storm and she is way to good for this crappy band. In fact all the contestants and the House Band are better than the three "superstars" of rock...

hey did you hear---->fertile women dress nicer
does that mean if i live in torn tshirts, and sweats that haven't been washed for three wee...i mean days...that i can totally go off the pill? SWEET!
(j/k, j/k ...all my loyal readers know from my graphic post that i have an IUD...i included a diagram and everything.)

alright paper jam calls!

lates
s

i love a rainy nite...

Kenny Rogers Christmas and Greatest Hits Concert
coming to VCU!!!!!!
TOO FAB FOR WORDS!

i'v been so neglectful!
i apologize...
though its awesome to see the peeps who
check up on me thru the blog
but never call, or email or myspace...
cough...spenard...cough
:)
have to hear your getting hitched thru outside sources!



anyways
life has become increasingly busier and busier
what with huge things at work.
and suddenly finding myself joining the circus
and fall tv season
:)
which, can we talk...
things that i have been loving lately

ugly betty- an english version of the telenovelai like it so much, i choose it over the Office...
eric mabius-who was the hottest guy on the 1st season of the l word
ok...he was the only guy on the l word...
anyways...its fun,colorful and just kinda amusing...

plus eric mabius = jamie bambers lost american twin?


?????????




battlestar galactica -
holy hell!
can this show get any awesomer...
and really disturbing
its so fab that i plan on LEGALLY downloading the episodes from itunes...

americas next top model-
still the most fun on a weeknite...
i'm not rooting for any particular girl yet
but i think this is the season tyra picks a indian girl...
or twins...
nothing makes a weds nite more awesome than
pissy gay boys

let's look at a real woman for a bit....












public service announcement.

three things i learned from reality court shows

1)the judges always yell. No matter what. Small claims court judges are mean.
and Judge Joe Brown is sexist...and anti crack head...
2)Don't ever put anyone on your cell phone plan. This includes your boyfriend, roommate, the random person you met thru craigslist, mom.
3)FREE DNA TESTS every friday!!!!!!!!***

-Home DNA test kits can be ordered through the mail or over the Internet at a cost of less than $300 per test and usually come with a swab or mouthwash to easily collect a sample of cells from the inside of your mouth. You send back the sample through the mail and within a month or two you receive the results - a series of numbers that represent key chemical "markers" within your DNA-

heroes-
picked up for a full season
the Dervish love this show
its ok...even brings some of the pretty
however he is all like sad, dead father, responsibility to find a bunch of genetic freaks
and save the world
while i am all like
dude,i just wanna spend some time trying out the positions in my kama sutra for dummies and then eat that yummy cauliflower chick pea concoction in bed...
but if there is some bollywood dancing involved- even better!
remember its all
change a lightbulb and pat a dog...

today i was at the gym reading the people magazine
about how thin is too thin
when hot former elevator boy started working out
when i realize
that i HATE the NEYO song
My Sexy Love
yuck
and that damn lips of an angel song
dude its called caller id...get it.

I'm bossy
I'm the first girl to scream on a track
I switched up the beat of the drum
That's right i brought all the boys to the yard
And that's right, i'm the one that's tattooed on his arm
I'm bossy
I'm the bitch y'all love to hate
I'm the chick that's raised the stake
I told young stunna he should switch to bape
I'm back with an 808 cause i'm bossy

Ooh lemme slow it down for ya so you can catch the flow
Screw it up make it go extra slow
Real girls get down on the flo (on the flo get down, on the flo)
Ooh i gave you a taste you want some more
Touch down on it like a pro
I ride the beat like a bicycle, icicle
Ooh from the 6-4 hefers up in crenshaw
The money makin playas up in harlem
Don't want no problem
We gon keep it bumpin while the 808 is jumpin

yeah i don't know what that means either...

but i like The Velvet Teen
also fielding
but jack johnson kinda annoys me...
did you know that Nickleback had one of the best selling tours this year?
yeah, well...nothing really to say there...
the songs go really well with the bsg promos though!

so i now know 3 other people who share my birthday...in Richmond
i truly feel this is some sign of the doomsday...or something
but more importantly
i like ponies and cupcakes
obviously my doomsday is more like that whacked rainbow brite cartoon....
what can i say....jehovah's got nothing on me....

speaking of which Prince is a jehovas witness. Who protelizes to strippers
The singer recently offered to pay dancers at a Hollywood strip club double their nightly wage if they would agree to put on their clothes and go home (a socialites life)
well....coming from a guy who used to take appollonia to graveyards to have sex this seems so...
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(also explains melissa's sudden obsession with strippers!)

whiggity whack!

so people... how have you been?
me?
i'v been pretty busy at work....
meeting up with new peeps


can you believe it is august?
i'd like to give a big shout out to the following birthday peeps
melissa
rachel
cheynne

big month for me not to buy presents!

battlstar galactica season three preview...check it out
this show is the best thing on tv...i even say it beats veronica mars!




but until october let us talk about my summer viewing
i admit its mostly reality shows
i think reality shows are best in the summer....
while our fave comedies, drama's and dramedies are on hiatus
we can obsess over
wanna be rock stars fronting a band of has beens
wanna be celine dion back up dancer
wanna be chefs at restaurants no one will eat at
wanna be designers of clothes that no one will be able to afford
wanna be...well whatever big brother is all about.

storm large is my woman...
know her? no?
get to....
she's amazonian....sigh...i wish i were taller...

mathew m. has been busy this summer...and i have the pics to prove it
rowr!

at least he knew to deep freeze her...

my weekend reading...amisted maupin's tales from the city collection...
i love the name amisted maupin...i mean how sophisticated sounding
like a boat
i like boats

i also like ice cream trucks
my biggest wet dream is to live in one...

so dear randi got hitched recently...congrats
she made for a beautiful bride...

recent discovery
vanilla yogurt with granola and fruit
but not melon...i don't like melon

3/4 C plain yogurt
2 T honey
1/4 tysp. vanilla
1/2 C granola cereal or
1/3 C Grape Nuts Cereal
1/2 C blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or other fruit

so my idol is now dating the man of my dreams....

this weekend i have the keira knightly version of pride and prejudiced
i have heard only good things about it
pride and prejudice is my favorite love story of all time
maybe it's cause i relate
I like elizabeth bennet am more plain looking than beautiful
but become more adorable as you get to know me...
i too have an loud mother and a quiet father living the life of genteel poverty
(that is if nascar, deer hunting, and an oddly ocd obsession with bleach is genteel)
i too like to talk...alot...never shutting up.
mr darcy... witty, handsome, wealty, i imagine tall, and find me utterly bewildering and charming...
see perfect love story...let us compare to others

jane eyre - mutilation and a messed form of responsibility
rebecca - has that creepy housekeeper and the fire (so does jane eyre now that i think about it
romeo and juliet - death and sappy words
wuthering heights- ditto
great gatsby- again dead people and really potent gin

and we all wonder why we are so screwed up about love

Daniel Craig was named best dressed man for 2006...I agree
He makes me actually want to watch a James Bond movie
other than the one with Timothy Dalton and the biguy who was once married to Natalie Wood where it's set in the Bayou

Shawn Preston Federline..or baby spears for you...was named one of the worst...
oh come on how unfair...
baby white tanks and trucker hats are genetic



alright lates fools

shazam!

yoga is such a beautiful exercise
one is at peace
with your body, mind, soul
and mathew
nothing makes me happier than these pics...
i know i keep saying this...
I will be pissed if i don't get some rubbing on
by a drunk/high mathew when I am on the islands...


So the first execution by electric chair in the nation in two years will happen tonight. Scheduled for 9pm. Go team Virginia....

rockstar supernova
my summer pleasure
i am sad to say there is no jd fortune
for me to love.
but i like dilana
she seems....scary
perfect for ozzfest
and my brother....


and I find the ex-metallica guy...attractive?
ok...maybe not

it's been hot here...but then I am sure
you all know this already...
so does my lil friend......

to celebrate our inevitable descent to fossildom

100 Calorie Margarita
6 oz. Sierra Mist Free (or Sprite Zero, or your other fave no-cal lemon-lime soda)
*1 shot of tequila (1.5 oz.)
1 packet **Crystal Light on the Go Lemonade (you may use 1/2 of the packet if you don't want your drink as intensely sweet)
2 tbsp. lime juice from concentrate (or fresh-squeezed lime juice)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Pour over 1 cup of crushed ice. Enjoy.

*You can also make your margarita alcohol-free. This recipe, without tequila, contains just 10 calories (5 calories if you use only half of the Crystal Light packet).

**1 tsp. Crystal Light Lemonade drink mix may be substituted.

DRINK UP!!!!!!

If my biggest contribution to society was introducing TRL to the world my body would eat itself too....

Have you seen the new Jessica Simpson video...
it amused me some
I like Andy Dick- what, he can be awfully funny
what is the point of christina applegate and eva longoria?
they seem a bit...old...to be hanging with jessica
and roller skating
i thoroughly enjoyed the clip of maria menunous whateverher name
bashing jessica's face in
she can blame it on mary harts voice...

but that song...gah
what is with that girl
she just can't seem to make a decent song
one that won't make me retch
and I LIKE the new fergie song
so obviously I am not that hard to please....

"Her disappointment with Wild Orchid led to an addiction to ecstacy and crystal meth. She told a Glasgow paper: "I started doing Ecstasy. Then I got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. My weight dropped to 90 lb so I lied to my friends and said I was bulimic. Finally, I started going crazy.""(wikipedia: fergie)

I am loving the Montreal band STARS
Here's is a clip of what your missing!






I love this poster...the book is on my list to read
Its suppose to be fabulouse...
Look at those eyebrows!


I would see this movie also!
If only for the name...

In fact, I think i shall call everyone
WHORE's Son!
LOVE IT!










finally, i leave you with another view of the love of my life:
