Karmic Snow Day

2007-02-15T02:02:22Z

SNOW DAY!!!!
I got a call a few hours before my shift today...they said they were shutting the lines down and I didn't have to come in today... WOOHOO!!! :D

In celebration of this rare and precious snow day, I would like to share with you all a drink recipe of mine made for days exactly like this one... it's very simple and VERY yummy.

How to make a Snow Day
1) Pour your favorite soymilk (or other type of milk) into a mug and nuke it until it's hot (NOT boiling... drinkable hot)
2) Add Kahlua to taste.
3) Mix well and enjoy :D

SO good... good enough in fact that after preparing the first round of these and running out of kahlua, I went out in the storm (omfg I LOVE driving in snow) and went to the liquor store and it was FREAKING CLOSED X_X Made some phone calls and so were all the other liquor stores in the area... damnit! x_x ohwell.... at least I still have some vegan Bailey's mixed up in the fridge ^_^

In other news...
Went to Ikea (yay!) got a new kitchen table (my butcher block style mini-table is staying right where it is...the new one goes along the back wall and it's perfect for what i needed) I also got a step stool and SHELVING!!! sweet awesome perfect shelving! Stainless steel kitchen organization FTW! :D Putting it up later tonight (with the new screws and screwdrivers we went out in the storm again to get)... oh and on that same trip we also rented I Heart Huckabees (which I haven't seen yet) and I bought used copies of Memoirs of a Geisha and Piratesof the Carribean 2. SCORE!

Lastly and definitely not least...
Karma has firmly taken ahold of things very recently and is really delivering in SO many ways... I'm really loving it... it just goes to show if you just hang in there and don't give up hope, good things really DO happen to good people... and bad things... well the rest is self-evident ^.^

Mangled abortion of competing cereal companies ...or mankind's greatest invention?

2007-01-25T07:23:44Z

I can't quite figure out which... It tastes alot like cheerios...AND it tastes alot like fruit loops... in a way it's just so...wrong.

...but it's SO FREAKING GOOD.
*munch*

I sort of realized...I have very few CDs...
I'm not a big CD person, I usually just listen to the radio...
but I heard something on the radio tonight that I *want*.

So i bought it. :D
Darshan Ambient's "Re:Karma" on Lotuspike Records.

it's sort of... i don't know how to describe the genre, it's instrumental and new agey(?) and extremely relaxing.

Oh and um...sorry I never post anymore... things are busy but life is good! <3

My cat Ichi thinks he's a dog. I took him for his first walk today (got him a brand new collar, tag, harness and leash)and he loved it. I wanna take him to a park ^.^

Too busy for updating lately @.@

Off to my first night sleeping on my first ever Queen size bed :D movin' on up!

hahaha omg

2006-11-01T05:38:40Z

Today I fursuited at work for 3 hours. XD
It was way too freaking much fun, and i learned alot about my own body language and those who know me well enough to tell who I am by it XD but it was even more fun baffling the people who just HAD to know who was in the costume (but didn't until I be-headed after the judging (our department won one of the first prizes w00t!)) I even went over to the other building and visited Tseno in suit ^_^ and people got a kick out of me drinking a water bottle through my costume-mouth XD and lots of pictures were taken... it was just a blast ^_^ though I was near exhaustion when I changed into normal-clothes afterwards (and stuck my head under the faucet in the public bathroom...mmm lol) and dunno how I survived through the end of my shift...though the vegan pizza that was ordered was a welcomed help :3
Oh speaking of vegan...
One of my coworkers went vegetarian today because of me!! *excited* :D I made up a quick business card for him stating "JessK's 24/7 nutrition hotline" with my cell number XD ohh and...showed another one of my supervisors how to use her camera phone and send pictures.... which she then used to take embarrasing pictures of another supervisor and email them to everybody >:3 mwuahahaha...
oh and I forgot to mention before, I voted yesterday. Yay! ^.^
and got in a nicely sized credit card payment...and with fatter paychecks coming up soon i should be able to bring my minor credit card debt down to null pretty soon :D
things rock...time to pass out (and I'll get photos of work-suiting asap!)

productivity ftw

My kitties are the best :D They (both) had a vet appointment tonight, and I figured it'd be the best thing for them to travel in the same crate... and it was.. neither of them made a peep the entire way ^.^ Not only that but Ha-chan was incredibly well behaved while being examined and given shots and stuff (and of course Ichi was too, at least until he started exploring the office and jumped into the sink) Anyway, they're now both up to date on their vaccinations, and they seemed to enjoy the car ride back so much that when I parked the car at home and turned the engine off, I still heard purring...only it was coming from Ichi... I'm glad I let them ride together ^_^

Oh yeah, if I didnt mention it..
I PASSED MY ALL CALLS EXAM on Friday ^_^ woo...training is over! I start my regular 4-midnight shift this coming Monday. That means I can stay out partying on Sunday night... w00t! :D *wagwagwag*

Otherwise errmm hmm... things are good I guess :3 yay for things!

Cuteness update

2006-10-19T23:56:22Z

Ahem...

...that is all ^.^

Things nstuff

2006-10-18T23:17:49Z

My little Ichi had his first visit to the vet today. He was so well behaved, he wasn't afraid, he just wanted to explore ^_^ He made friends with everyone and they all thought he's gorgeous :D He's very healthy, and both he and Ha-chan have an appointment next week for vaccinations and such ^.^ I love my kitties :D

Work is going really well. Final certifications are this week, maybe as early for tomorrow; IE the test on everything we've learned in the past two months @.@ But if I pass it (and I will..i know my shit) then i have the rest of this week and next week on 9 to 5, then I finally switch to my real schedule, 4pm to midnight on weekdays ^.^ yay!!

This past weekend I went to NYC and had an amazing time with both earthlights (and Adam and Elton) and mightyomnivore...all my loving to you both ^_^ thanks for the awesome weekend!! R.I.P. CBGB's! :/

Dinnertime... vegetable gyoza and a sesame bun in my new bamboo steamer which I love ^_^

P.S. Fill out the poll if you haven't yet...especially you jerseyfurs and locals!!

Easy like sunday moooorrrning

2006-10-08T22:19:35Z

Hectic times, few posts...so here's another one in the spare time that I can find ^.^
My new place now houses a kitchen table, dining room table, (got a microwave!), living room chair and couch and end table with two awesome lamps, TV with stand and two DVD racks full of awesome, a fence thing to keep Hachan (new baby kitty) in the kittenproofed half of the place... desk (well, half of it) bookshelves, dressers and nightstands... I hooked up my stereo system in the living room and it is good. About to start working on decorations and further cleanings and such...i need to find the hooks for my wallscrolls x.x they're somewhere in the still-not-unpacked pile :3

now for Ichikun and Hachan rantings of cuteness... :D

Ichi is such a wonderful big brother to hachan... he'll ignore me sometimes when I call to him but the minute Hachan makes a tiny little kitten squeak (s/he sounds like a squeaky door) Ichi is at his/her(dunno yet) side in a heartbeat... The first night they met, Ichi acted very annoyed when Hachan wouldnt stop following him and snugging on him and pawing at him, yet he could have easily jumped up out of the kitten's reach or ran away and he didn't..... then Ichi lost track of Hachan for a moment and Hachan went under the couch, Ichi realized hachan wasnt there and started making these soft mewling calls constantly and looking for him... and when Hachan reappeared ichi darted at him like lightning and stopped a half inch short of hachan's face and wouldnt leave his side again... and no longer acts annoyed at his attentions... even when Hachan won't stop pouncing/rolling around with/nibbling on his tail :D Ichi just makes this face like "egh" but entirely lets hatchan do it... they're just so adorable ^_^ And its so cute watching them eat together... Hachan is still really small and you hafta like stick his face into the food so he realizes it's there and starts eating ^.^ (The first night I brought him home I had to use a bottle with kitten formula to get him to eat...so cute |||)

When I first rescued Hatchan, for the whole first day (up until I calmed him down enough to bottle feed) he was a hissing raging little ball of claws and teeth XD but the very next morning he woke me up climbing up on me purring and nuzzling at my face ||||||||||
S/he's been doing really well socially since, s/he absolutely loves playing with Ichi and isn't opposed to climbing into bed with me at night to cuddle ^_^ His/her eyes were pure blue when I first rescued him/her, but they're now shifting to a jade/turquoise kind of color...they're quite beautiful ^.^

And Ichi is shaping up to be a truly wonderful kitty...he's very healthy and he's BIG, he's gonna be huge when he's fully grown ^_^ He's extremely intelligent and sharp, curious, brave and explorative...and very expressive. He loves strangers and is just an all-around sweetheart ^.^ And he has these beautiful gold eyes :D

.. oops. hahaha i totally forgot to hit post.

Introductions

2006-10-04T02:26:15Z

I'd like you all to meet...

~ Hayate no Susuwatari ~
Rescued October 3, 2006
Age: About 4 weeks

He looks terrified in the pic because he is... that's right after I caught him and put him in a cat carrier :3 but he has the most absolutely gorgeous blue eyes... ^_^ He's the only one I was able to catch out of a bunch of ferals that I found... 3(more?) kittens and two (maybe three) adults). I am planning to keep going back to try for the others... dunno if I can keep him or any of them, but for now I'm taking care of this one ^.^ I got him to eat and he's young enough that although he was feral he's taking very quickly to human attention ^.^ He was vicious when I found him though, I only caught him cus he came running out hissing from their den trying to chase me away XD
He's in my room with the door closed, in the closet, which is also closed... but Ichigo is no dummy, he knows something's up and keeps trying to get in there and see... he gets really jealous when I go in and shut the door :P
I'm in sort of a fix though, I can't find a vet that operates outside of my own work hours (9-5 >.<) and I really wanna get him checked out >.< he seems quite healthy, i just want to get his tests done so I dont have to worry about Ichi catching a sickness from him x.x
Anyway... yeah, back to life. Which is good. ^_^

Oh yeah, if you want to give a cute cuddly adorable tiny pocketsized kitten a home, let me know ^_^

EDIT: fixed his name spelling, I typoed x_x

Downtime

2006-09-26T14:28:45Z

Hello internets,
sorry I haven't been on... my (neighbor's) connection at home completely died and i've been having issues trying to get my new cable company to come down and install stuff... see I work 9-5 and the cable installers work 8-4 and when they start in the morning they don't get out to any actual jobs until like 8:30...and i have to leave for work at 8:45. x.x They can't do it when nobody's at home and I can't find anyone that can be here for those hours....they were supposed to do it this morning but they were too late...they're going to try to be early this Thursday and do it... until then I've got a few minutes a day on the public work PCs :p my cellphone is always on me if you need to get in touch though :3

But in better news...
ICHIGO IS THE CUTEST THING EVERRRR. EVER! I love him to bits ||||| I've got lots of stories that I look forward to posting about him :D

Apartment news: I haven't forgotten about that housewarming bash I've been mentioning... I just need to get some more furniture first X3 I've got myself an awesome mini kitchen table with chairs, a matching end table (soon to become plural) and this weekend I'm going to jersey with a rental truck and coming back with my dining room table and a couch.. and a lazyboy chair..and more stuff ^_^ The party will be a go as soon as I'm more settled in ^_^ there's still huge piles of unsorted junk in the livingroom.. XD it's slowly evolving into a swingin' bachelorette pad... slowly ^.^;

Overall, things are awesome. I *love* my job. I love my apartment and my kitty ^.^ Taisa and Hagane are doing great..(and I made my famous lasagna last night and brought it for lunch for me and my coworkers today :D)

Taking calls has been awesome and yesterday we went back into training for the rest of the products we cover... and in maybe a month or so I'll be fully certified and go into my regular fulltime schedule (4pm to midnight m-f :D)

and hopefully soon I'll have my internets back so I can finish getting my act together.. :D

Back to work ^.^

Fishies!!

2006-09-15T12:55:17Z

YAY!!
Last night Tseno brought my fishies over to my new place... I'm so glad they're safely out of harm's way now...and thank you Tseno for taking such good care of them, they seem quite happy ^_^
They better seem happy, I had to run out to the store at 11 and recalculate all their water chemicals and stay up two hours past my bedtime getting their tanks cleaned and getting them safely settled with fresh treated water... >3
Just as happy I was to see Tseno, i'm glad he waited till his second trip up to bring the fishies with him..i pounced him when I opened the door :D
(Takata come over if you read this, I owe you a pounce too :p)
Also got to introduce Tseno to the joys of OMG Shoes (I hope the link works... I'm posting from my work puter cus I happened to wake up early.. OH YEAH I gotta mention one more thing..)

I passed my certification exam yesterday! WOOHOO!! I started taking calls after that and I love it. :D
I woke up early so I grabbed a Wawa pretzel ||| and i'm chillin at one of the public work PCs posting teh sillyness before my shift starts :3

P.S. I'm wearing my Blue Screen o' Death shirt :D

P.P.S. Ichigo's official arrival date is Sunday at around 2 pm!! *bounce*
