Read All About It

Last night, which was supposed to be my cousin’s birthday, I had yummy food that was delicious in all sense. My favorite dishes like chicken tikka, lollipop, mutton fry and fish fry have all found there on the table. Also, the crab soup was served with chilies. The regular rice with chapatti was also given for our fulfillment of stomach. At the end of the dinner I had two cups of ice cream, which is surprisingly found to be my most favorite strawberry and chocolate ones. After this to my surprise I had fresh juices, which almost filled my stomach very tightly. Yesterday night it was really pompous in the sense of food and one more thing is added in the dinner that is a newer one is added, and that was prawn.

I drive to the bus station and get on a bus to take me downtown to work. I read a book or play a game on my Nintendo DS while I ride the bus, and then I get off and walk the 5 blocks to work. I work my 7 hours, and take a 30 minute lunch break where I eat a salad. I walk to the bus stop and ride the bus back to the station, reading a book or playing my DS again. I then drive home from the bus station, work out, and then have dinner. My husband and I will then usually watch a sporting event if there is one on – either the Minnesota Twins or Minnesota Wild, depending on the time of year. If there isn’t a game to watch, we generally find something else to watch on TV or else play a game or something like that. Then, it’s time for bed to start it all over the next day!

I don’t have a favorite book but I have a favorite author. Nicholas Sparks. In my opinion he is a genius when it comes to writing love stories. His books have also turned into great movies including, A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, and several others. Once I pick up one of his books, I can never put it down until I have finished. I have never been one to read a book about love stories but once I read one of his, I was hooked. I didn’t know who he was until a couple of years ago when a friend of mine handed me a book called The Notebook and told me I needed to read it. They also told me that I would cry at the end. I read the book and behold, I cried at the end. That’s when I became hooked and had to continue to read more of his books. I would recommend his books to everyone. Even if you don’t like love stories, he is one to give a try.

Nip/Tuck is an excellent drama that invokes every emotion. The characters are very well developed and easy to relate to as far as some of their every day problems are concerned. Every episode drags me in like a magnet, and I always need to see what will happen next. It can make you laugh, cry, and leave you stunned with a plot that is constantly twisting and new characters that leave you wanting to see more. There are so many different aspects to the show. There is romance as well as heartbreak and betrayal. There are strong bonds and friendships as well as legal troubles and murders. Just about anything you can imagine can either be seen in some way in an episode, or is likely to exist in the future. It is wild and modern, and I find that everyone who gives it an honest chance often finds them self addicted to Nip/Tuck.

Today was indeed a typical lazy Sunday; I didn’t do much at all. It was good, overall, perhaps a bit boring. I woke up late, and then fed my dogs and fish. I whipped up some breakfast, then went outside and took care of some yard work until lunch. Not too long after, I spent a good, long while on the internet playing some World of Warcraft and chess. I made dinner around five. The nice thing about getting on the computer was meeting up with some old internet buddies that I hadn’t talked to in years. It certainly was the highlight of my day! I really missed both of them, and we had a great time exchanging links and playing games. Our time was cut short as I needed to take care of things around the house, but I plan on talking to them some more tomorrow. Overall, it was really a pretty good day.

In the middle of nowhere and have recently moved back there. It is near a lake and the people are often occupied by water activities. I know how to sail and how to jet-ski because I lived here for so many years. There are only three real businesses in the town I am from. The first is a drugstore. The second is a gas station, and the third is a small restaurant and bar. Other businesses have come and gone in the last few years. There has been a lot of vandalism here lately. The town bought new signs recently and they have all been defaced and spray painted all ready. Overall, though, this is a safe place to live. The trouble is often innocent, such as the spray painting and there isn’t much hard crime. The schools are actually the best public schools in the county.

This past week was great. I had been working up at school doing an internship, trying to make some money and get some experience. Since I go to school in Indiana and home is in Louisiana, it’s hard sometimes being away from home for so long and on top of that, I didn’t even have summer to spend home. But I finished up early of this past week and I am now home. It’s been awesome ever since. I got to come home and reunite with lots of family members and friends, all of whom I hadn’t seen since Christmas, the last time I came home. Since I’ve been home, I’ve just been visiting with family and going out with friends. I am only going to be home for a little over three weeks, so I’m trying to do as much as I can. I’ve also enjoyed this week because I’ve gotten to catch up on some sleep, which is always great, and eat much better food (Cajun style) here than I get to Indiana. It’s been a great past week!

My favorite films have always been in the genre of horror. I started watching these types of movies growing up in the late 80s. Many people consider the 80s to be the birth of the “slasher films” like Halloween and Friday the 13th. The horror genre has a lot of variety to offer…some films being mostly about blood and gore, while others are just as suspenseful without much violence at all. My favorite horror films are the ones that leave a lasting impression on you after watching them. A few of my favorite horror films would be “The Exorcist”, “Alien”, “Session 9″, “The Descent” and many others I have seen over the last twenty years. Recently some of the best horror and thriller films have been coming out of Japan and Korea. The Asian horror films have brought a fresh new perspective on a genre often full of cliché. Most of the horror films that will be made in the next few years will be remakes of an Asian film that has been “dumbed down” for an American audience.

I bleed Panther blue, baby! In 1999 I moved to China. Five years later, they showed the first NFL game they had shown since 1982. It was a Super Bowl. Patriots vs. Panthers. Monday morning in my time zone. I used an alarm clock during my vacation. I only turned the sound on during that halftime mascot feature to listen to Madden, Fisher, Cowher, etc. with Chinese subtitles. I spent the rest of the halftime break making coffee, using the bathroom, microwaving some food, etc. That’s right, young adolescent males, I missed Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction. Possibly they didn’t show it here, since I read somewhere there was a one-hour tape delay I didn’t know about. You have Daylight Savings Time and we don’t, so sometimes we’re 12 hours ahead of EST and sometimes we’re 13 hours ahead, and I get confused.

Last night, I cooked dinner. I am trying to eat more healthfully, so I started with whole wheat penne. It was really good, which surprised me. For the sauce, I began by sautéing ground turkey sausage with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. I set aside the sausage and browned a head and a half of garlic in butter in the same pan. To that, I added some chopped spinach, just until it started to wilt. I poured in a large can of small diced tomatoes and stirred. I simmered that with more salt, more pepper, a little cayenne, some oregano, and some basil. I sat down to eat and paired my pasta with a slice of whole wheat bread that had been slathered with butter and roasted garlic and then broiled. It was delicious, all of it.
