Leap Year

Had no idea it was today until I got on twitter. How sad. Oh well, let’s make this day awesome and try to stay positive and stress free! So I’m going to have an awesome cup of coffee and relax for a bit before work.

Today’s food, plus a new couch

Just to get this out of the way: Black bean veggie burger, clemetine, strawberry yogurt and while beer would be amazing right now, it’s just sun tea (which is still pretty good).

So that’s my food for today, later I’ll be making quesadillas, but I don’t want to update anything tonight.

In other news, WE HAVE A NEW COUCH. We had a flatter, less comfy futon with no arms, that was already broken by… uniformed guests. They made a habit of not putting down the little legs in the back when you converted it to a bed. Thus the back would bend too far back and broke the hinges, so whenever we made a bed out of it, then tried to put it back into couch mode it took some shifting and wiggling around until it locked back into place. Sort of a pain. We didn’t get rid of it however, instead it sits adjacent to this couch, in a nice L formation. It’s just not in the picture because no one cares about the futon anymore. Besides, I’ll probably be sitting in this bigger squishier couch from now on anyway. Just needs some leather cleaner and conditioner. It’s obviously used, but in good condition for only 30$. So I’m not complaining. Yay.

Also: You can see my two giant philodendrons chilling out on top of our air conditioner (which hasn’t been turned on since last September) :3, they’re so long! Hopefully we have another place for them before summer rolls around.

HNNG breakfast

So I felt nice today and made Brandon and I a big breakfast. French toast, omelet, eggs, fried potatoes, lemon poppy seed muffins with some OJ. Might have made coffee but there wasn’t any room left. Maybe for a snack later with another muffin. I probably wont be too hungry the rest of the day, and it seems I’ll probably eat my left over Pad Thai from last night for dinner. Not too shabby.

Closer look at the potatoes. My dad used to make this once in a while when I lived at home, so it’s kind of nice. I guess nostalgic. He would usually do russets, but all we had was half a bag of yellows left, and a good amount were starting to green, so we used those up. And yes, there are yellow, green, and red peppers in there, and hard to see but shallots too. I guess I am fancy, and am no longer allowed to complain about being hungry.

I tried some of that chocolate banana spread on some french toast, was A+ would eat it again. Might try a bit of Miso tonight with my Pad Thai, I just like mixing up my food.

Well shit, where have I been?

I told myself, and Kate, that when I moved here I would start blogging more on here so we could keep each other updated. I guess I do that more over twitter, but oh well. I feel bad spamming twitter with a bunch of tweets every day.

So I guess I’m going to start spamming tumblr with my lame ass posts and terrible PHONE PICTURES, because I don’t have a nice camera. :|

So look, look at it’s poor quality, and the Miso Soup concentrate that I’m kind of scared to try. NOT afraid to try that banana chocolate spread though, going to test that out tomorrow morning for breakfast.

That’s about it though. My life consists of trying to not get fired from my job, and figuring out how to get into school without my parents royally screwing me over, and looking through the strange shops that Boulder, CO has to offer. Believe me, there are plenty of those here, but as weird as they are they have their charm. It’s the only entertaining thing to do in the winter here other than skii or snowboard (which is harrowing and terrifying by the way). So I guess expect more boring “look at this weird thing” posts. Other than that, when I finally get a scanner expect more artwork, which I’ve been getting back into, and other stupid projects. This also includes food. I like food. >:| It’s good.

Also, Kate, when are you coming out ;___; ? I want to take you to the mountains and all the weird ass shops here. Also, I want to go to Chicago in November this year, AND GO TO MITSUWA, a trip there is way over due. Maybe you can see MFF for a day and see the weirdness that it is.
