Ya Learn Something New Everyday

Today, it’s the importance of having an exit alarm and deviled eggs.

But more importantly, deviled eggs.

I don’t know why I never bothered to look up what deviled eggs exactly are when I’ve heard the term several times before. I always just assumed they were, I don’t know, spicy eggs. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Today, I finally googled it and boy, do deviled eggs look GLORIOUS. My mouth waters just looking at photos! They seem pretty easy to make, according to the steps and recipes I found here so I’m definitely going to try cooking/making them. I can’t wait!

Things I Love, 6

May 27, 2010 at 3:48 pm | Filed under lists, photos, things I love

1) Lists. Lists are easy and, when you have enough things to list down, makes for a passable blog entry. I’m lazy these days and prefer to no longer write extensively about my thoughts and how I feel, online. I feel like there’s enough of me and how my mind operates out there and that maybe it’s about time to hold back a little.

Orrr maybe I’ve just become boring. That must be it.

2) Kitties! And my pops, of course. They’re very adorable.

3) Milo, or any chocolate drink for that matter. A cold glass of it keeps me full for a few hours after lunch, tiding me over ’til dinner time. I know it’s kind of fattening so I have to keep myself from chugging down more than a glass and maybe only drink it every other day.

4) The internet! Where else can I read about prenatal vitamins at 3 in the morning?

5) Hootsuite.com. My Echofon for Firefox stopped working when I updated to the latest version some weeks ago (even after uninstalling and re-installing it) and I’m too lazy to get Tweetdeck working so I’ve been using this browser-based Twitter client. I quite like it.

Hrhrhr, More Hanson

May 26, 2010 at 3:22 pm | Filed under tv, movies, books, music etc

You guys, I am so excited for Hanson’s fifth studio album, Shout It Out. It’s on pre-sale over at hanson.net and I asked Mr Boyfriend to get me the Deluxe Package (because neither of us have $250 and $800 to spare on the other packages, bleh). They ship out on June 8th (SIO’s release date) but I’m obviously not going to get my copy on that day because it’s going to be delivered to his address in the US.

I can’t seem to stop yapping about my favorite band (the way I can’t stop talking about adult acne treatment hrhr); I’m on a total Hanson trip these days, listening to their old and new stuff, learning the steps to their new single, Thinkin’ ‘Bout Somethin’, etc etc. Check out how out of control my lastfm is:

Over a thousand plays in the last seven days! Aaaand… no shame in listening to Miley, I enjoy a good pop song. Heh.

Here’s an excerpt from a pretty positive review about Shout It Out from the guys over at AbsolutePunk (click the link for the entire article):

From start to finish, Shout it Out is awash in frolicking pianos, playful guitar solos and ample amounts of horns. Anchored by Taylor ‘s full-lunged vocals, this is an album of soulful, viciously catchy rock n’ roll. Opener “Waiting For This,” sets the tone with a tickling piano line and Isaac’s lively guitar work. Zest-laden, undeniably sunny and awash in optimism, it’s a promising opening for a wholly satisfying body of work. Though “Thinking ‘Bout Somethin,” is the disc’s lead single, It’s successor, the groove-based “Kiss Me When You Come Home,” seems a feasible choice for second single. Feeding off Taylor’s impassioned crooning, Isaac’s inspired playing and Zac’s snappy drumming, it’s a decidedly mature dose of pop perfection.

Kee, I love my favorite band.

My Future Doggy

May 25, 2010 at 3:50 pm | Filed under ditz drivel

One of these days, (boyfriend and) I will have a Welsh Corgi and I will nickname him Robert. His real name will be Bawzz (like Boss, not Buzz), of course. Robert will be the dog my future children will grow up with (along with two or three fat, prissy cats).

Look at those short legs and those big pointy ears! That nose! Those paws! So terribly cute! Cute enough to cure your eczema, maybe.
