• on an introspective moment, brought on by glancing the lloveless site. i do look for happiness in the wrong places. i have been really realising that the past few months. i get scared that i will never get a job, that sean will always work and never have time to do fun things. that when we build the house, we'll screw it all up. basically that we'll be 90 before we can have happiness together. i need a dog. and sean and i need to just give it up and become a balloon ride company. fear of the unknown sometimes eats me alive.

  
  

  i love adobe photoshop. everything i see, that's graphically interesting, i eventually figure out how to do it. i've played with threshhold in the past but part of graphics is having a good picture to begin with. i can go in an brighten and contrast and hue and variate all i want, but sometimes you really need natural contrast falling on the right spots. so with that said, here's my new profile pic. i love simple.

  
  

  i'm leaving the test link up for a little bit. in the meantime, favorite fast food food points. i know throwing that lucky dog in there threw everyone a curve ball. unlike the death charactor, i know hotdogs are bad. i eat them sparingly and have come to agree with spidey, the only good dog is a cheesy dog. a bryan cheesy jumbo dog.

  
  

  1. what is my favorite fast food food?
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  chinese food (7 points)	2
  chocolate sin (8 points)	2
  honeyed chicken (10 points)	4
  lucky dog (1 points)	3
  semolinas (9 points)	0

  
  

  semolinas is a pasta resturant; they have these chicken enchilada and southwest chicken dishes that are ethereal. the honeyed chicken, i only know of one place to get it here (china hut-foodcourt). what i forgot to put on this list was cuban sandwiches, but i like making them homemade cause they charge too much at christy's cuban specialties.

  
  

  the sun has come back out. i decided to feed the birds again this morning, but that's IT, they will have to make it last for a little while. i was talking to spidey on the phone while making dinner last night (hamburgers and home-baked fries). looking out the back door i am seeing birds huddled on this spiral plant stand i have. some of them look like they're sleeping, some with one eye open, others grooming. ALL looking at the back door, waiting. every now and again one of the huddled birds would like look down, and they are so stuffed from gorging lately, and dive-bomb the concrete. poor things must have been hallucinating pieces of food.

  
  

  doing baked papas (i stab them with fork holes, wrap in wax paper, microwave 2-3 minutes on each side for each papa, when you can stick a fork in easily, they're done). gunna top 'em with cheese and fresh broccoli and bacon bits. i forgot the sourcream. oh, and  another way to do yummy potatoes...i helped a friend reconstruct a potatoe skin appetizer: i did the microwave thing. then cut each potatoe...see if i can explain it. your gunna try to make 4 cuts so you get 4 sections of potatoe on skin, and then the left over middle goes into a bowl. and you can skim some of the potatoe off the skins to put in the bowl too. add whatever toppings (except green onions/cheese/sourcream) to the bowl, mix. plop mixture on top potatoes. add onions then cheese. throw under broiler til cheese melts or bubbles or crisps like you like it. top w/ sourcream. i could eat a ptah's* mound of these!

  
  

  *ptah is the god of the mound from which all things came out of egypt
